Prostitutes Bulaon
Masahiro Shoji visited Bulacan on October 15, 2020, where he documented the local sex trade scene. Prostitutes in Bulacan are often referred to as “hookers” or “sex workers” and can be found through various escort services. Many individuals in the area use online platforms to find companions for the night. Some escorts in Bulacan may resort to prostitution due to financial difficulties.
Challenges and Efforts to Address Prostitution
Local authorities reported on September 24, 2021, that they were investigating illegal prostitution activities in the region. On March 22, 2025, a raid was conducted in Bulacan, uncovering brothels and rescuing minors involved in the sex trade. The operation highlighted the ongoing issue of human trafficking in the area.
Historical Context and Ongoing Issues
On January 21, 2016, a mock trial held in the region found the Japanese government guilty of forcing women into prostitution during World War II. In recent years, cities across the Philippines have seen an increase in escort ads. While some view this as a form of empowerment, others see it as a sign of deeper societal issues.
