I just find it very upsetting that so many Filipinas who have lived a life of nothing but struggle and poverty who have mothers and families who love them dearly, meet their end at the hands of the type of evil who will commit the most humiliating a filthy acts of rape and abuse on them then kill them as if they were less than a dog.

Their families back home must go through unimaginable grief as not all will realize what their sisters/daughters have been doing to put food on the table and I dobt they will have the money for the body to be flown home for burial.

This subject is of course closer to home because of my relationship with a woman who I hope is being as careful as she says and only associating with known customers.

Does the law regard a working girl as unimportant? Please tell me the rules of murder and abuse apply to these girls as they would anywhere else.

I think I now understand why such faith in God, what would they do without that - there would be no comfort.

Is there no support group for working girls/Filipinas abroard? I heard there was but because of the taboo and culture they are afraid to come forward - so once again the religion that created the stigma of their profession is contributing to their deadly fate.

It is so very very sad what goes on, I sometimes despair of humanity.
