You quote a successful outcome in this case, Maria. The topic was raised a few weeks ago ( "Swedish porn-site owners jailed for life"). It does beg a lot of questions. Although there is legislation ( Violation of Republic Act 9208 http://www.chanrobles.com/republicactno9208.html and Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Tr...ns_Act_of_2003 ) how often are there successful prosecutions ? Probably not often.
How common is cybersex in the Philippines ? Probably common. How often are the girls participating because of trafficking or of their own free will to earn "easy" money for supporting family and / or studies ? It's illegal and morally wrong but
is it safer than "real" sex by prostitution ? At least in theory there's no chance of violence or sexually-transmitted disease from those paying for the cybersex, although they may be at risk from the traffickers themselves.
