Prostitutes Calauan

Prostitution operates as an open secret in Calauan, Laguna, though most cases go unreported. Mayor Buenafrido Berris disputes this portrayal, arguing media unfairly labels his town a haven for criminals and sex workers.

Hunger-Driven Survival

Hunger drives this crisis. Desperate residents trade sex for food, infants die from malnutrition, and children suffer stunted growth. This harsh reality underscores the #HungerProject’s focus on the area.

Poverty’s Grip and Global Contrast

While prostitution occurs globally—from Nevada to Key West—Calauan’s struggle is uniquely tied to poverty. The mayor’s objections contrast sharply with documented evidence of sex-for-food exchanges. Meanwhile, unrelated escort listings in other regions highlight how easily such services are advertised elsewhere.
