CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF PROSTITUTION IN CITY OF CALBAYOG

INPUT FOR POLICE CONTROL

Rationale of the Study:

Nowadays, many individuals engaged to different

activities which they perceived as profitable or even to

serve as their source of income for some reasons of poverty

and unemployment. Especially, ladies are commonly exploited

to these illegal activities which lead to prostitution.

Although this act is considered immoral and illegal here in

the Philippines yet still many women were inclined to this

crime for some extent reasons. They were not aware that

this would greatly affect their health and the cause of the

inevitable widespread of sexually transmitted diseases such

as AIDs, gonorrhea, syphilis, and etc. As reported,

prostitution is one of the familiar crimes in Samar.

Accordingly, most of the women, young and adult who are

engaged in prostitution were victims of illegal

recruitment. As far as we know, most of the victims were

not a resident of Calbayog City because some or most of

them came from different barrios or other places in the

Philippines.
 Every individual should take part of finding an

effective solution for this problem. Even in our simple

ways might be effective. That is why we will be conducting

this study for us to know if prostitution is really rampant

in Calbayog City, Samar, and to discover what are the

causes and effects of prostitution, and lastly, to know

what are the preventive measures of prostitution in order

to discover the solution to the problem.
