This humors me more that they focused on the Expat getting an STD from his wife instead of the assumption that his local wife was a freelance prostitute. Oh well, I guess even Ho’s need Hubby’s.
BORACAY – There’s just too much danger around.
This is what the Aklan Provincial Health Office (PHO) tried to tell the people, especially males, who are coming here — that commercial sex workers here are “‘freelance’ and dangerous.”
Debbie Villaflor of the PHO said they have been urging sex workers here to get pink cards, but they can’t oblige them.
She said there is no registered “red district” here, thus it is difficult for them to track down commercial sex workers.
“We are actually worried over the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in Boracay because we have no benchmark on these data.
There were also reports that foreigners and even indigenous people such as Aetas are engaged in prostitution, but we could not document them,” Villaflor said.
A European national recently sought medication from the PHO after he was infected with STD by his Filipina wife.
Currently, Villaflor said, there are also a number of HIV-AIDS victims who are staying here.
They preferred to stay here and the PHO keeps monitoring them.
“There is a new case, however, wherein the victim does not want to be treated. He might still be in denial stage. We expect him to seek medical attention when his case worsens,” she said.
