dc.description.abstractAptly named “Sin City,” the strip along Clark Air base called Fields Avenue is the place to be  if  you’re  looking  for  “entertainment.” Aside  from  the  endless  flow  of  alcohol,  women  were considered  a  commodity  in  these  parts  of  town,  selling  of  their  bodies  in  exchange  for  money.  Foreigners  can’t  resist having a taste of what the city has to offer: an experience with an angel. But reality is cruel and the “angels” of angles city are far from heaven.    A  never  ending  supply  of  women  suffering  from  impoverished  circumstances  and the continuous patronage of both local and foreign clientele are factors that fuel the sex industry in Angeles City. The absence of choice, a source of easy money and the illusion of a greener pasture lure hundreds of women every year into flesh trade but are trapped by the ever-piling debt.     Amidst this blatant abuse of women’s rights, the government, the very institution whose purpose  is  to  serve  its  people,  turns  a  blind  eye  to  this  phenomenon,  and  in  fact fact is  the  main  supporter  of  the  industry through regulation and tourism policies that promote prostitution. en_US
