It is also in the Philippines that you hear about girls being forced/paid to step on small animals.

If they were going after those types, I don't have a problem with this.
Particularly if the women are under duress.

However, you are very right. Unless you are in the "Upper Class" in the Philippines, life there is hard.
People barely earn enough to pay for their transportation and to live.

Their economy(jobs) is almost purely service industry, to the point that when you go to a mall, you get a cashier, a bag stuffer, and someone else to staple the bag to close them.

The better jobs some get are the call centers, and the money that does go around are usually through remittance.

Y'arr!!!
