As much as I might disagree with the idea of exploitation of women in the Philippines, I know enough to say that I don't know enough about that particular country in order to make a well-educated assessment of the situation there. That being said, I think that I can trust enough in MRD's own judgement concerning these women and that they are indeed not forced to prostitution because of their abhorrent living standards or economic situation. Or something like that.

What I do want to say is that I think that Vuk (and to a lesser degree,Kadavar) is thinking within the context of this trope that often applies to South Asian urban environments. Call it the "Bangkok stereotype": every (poor) woman is a prostitute; every child is a child prostitute. I'm not saying that you're thinking this, but I think you're definitely being influenced by this notion. Tropes such as these return basically every time when we're talking about whatever: Asian girls are prostitutes; Arabs are terrorists; the Japanese are perverted; Americans are ignorant, etc, etc.

In this context, you're not doing these women any favour. By assuming that they're being forced into prostitution, you're kind of denying their own choice in this. Regardless of your opinion on the morality and/or objectionalities of prostitution, when you say just about anything about this, you're actually treading on very thin ice.
