More Unappreciative Girls Rescued From Their Jobs

Girls in Cebu beg police to allow them to return to the jobs they were "rescued" from: Dancing in bikinis for some appreciative foreign tourists.

Stupid bikini girls. Don't they know that making a living dancing around in various states of undress doesn't meet with the approval of the well-educated, properly-employed women of The Philippines, and that they should just give up their unacceptable jobs and get back to starving and struggling for the sake of societal harmony and peace of mind of their wealthier counterparts?

Note to The Philippines Bureau of Tourism: Y'all ain't Singapore, you know. Your country only has two "S" words to offer foreign tourists who come here, and "sand" is one one of them... and those foreign tourists can get cheap and pretty "sand" in any number of places on this planet. If you are going to get rid of the other "S", then you'd better start building some world class theme parks, historical and cultural events, golf courses, nature preserves, shopping districts, monuments, museums, and other tourist attractions which you are sorely lacking to make up for itTake Manila for example: After a day at Corregidor, you have the tiny Rizal museum plus a quick tour of Intramuros and Fort Santiago, then an aquarium, a barely-there theme park, and the IMAX and skating rink at Mall of Asia. Compare that to the number of things that draw tourists to Bangkok or Seoul..

Philippines exports are down 31% this year, and there is a 30% drop in Filipinos employed overseas this year, and now the government decides is a good time to start closing down go-go-bars and scaring off the sex tourists? That's intelligent.
