Question

On a general note, why?

On a specific case, why shouldn't it be legalized in the Philippines?

Don't hold back on your answers now!

Answer 1

Well, one thing... I don't think too many people would enjoy seeing a bunch of  harlots walking corners at all times and giving their children a bad example. Secondly, if it were legal they should have to undergo frequent physical and gyno exams and pay taxes as they do in Europe. Overall, I don't believe it should be legalized, it's gross and demeaning, regardless of where it goes on.

Answer 2

It is a sin, God said so.

Answer 3

It should be legalized.  It's absurd on its face that it is illegal to sell something that is perfectly legal to give away.

America is a nation of contradictions.  For example, drugs are legal as long as your drug of choice is the liquid variety.

Answer 4

First of all, Philippines, in majority, is a Roman Catholic country, therefore it's not only against laws of the government, it is against the laws of the very foundations of the Church. Even if morality were to be taken away for this matter, it should still remain  not legal because for very obvious health reasons.

Not only those reasons; it degrades people. You have to be very desperate for you to give in to such a 'job.' Do you think these people also don't have families of their own? Yes, they are onlytrying to make a living but prostitution? It's still no reason on their part to engage to such 'job.'

And no, legalizing it will not solve the country's problems of unemployment.

Answer 5

it takes the fun and danger out of hiring a hooker if it's legal.

i want to know that when i'm stepping out on my wife, there's a chance i'll have to call her for bail money and explain the very awkward and painfull truth to her in the prescense of my council.
