My issue with tweets like this is that while the vast majority thinks "that's fucked up" then go about their lives, some will think "philipines you say?"

Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

That's 10% of my concern. The prostitution is messed up, but it's present in a lot of other countries and even developed ones. Surely he's seen some parts of the Philippines that makes it not completely fucked up.
But I don't hold any ill will towards him if that's his takeaway.
Maybe I'm naive but I've visited a couple times over the years and never seen this. My guess, you need to look hard, it's not like you walk through Green belt and there's kids holding signs ffs.
