For the green leafs or newbies or so called beginners of this vice, all of them as ask what is a PSP? Many think it is a Playstation Portable but in the adult scene it means literally Professional Sex Providers or to make more formal Personal Service Providers. However, the adult lingo for this is Prostitute or "Pokpok" in Filipino term. It is the oldest profession ever existed and has been around since the biblical times. One of the most famous prostitute was Mary Magdalene who was saved by Jesus Christ and became his disciple and follower.
In this country nowadays, with total chaos and less opportunities. A lot of women are finding their way into this profession whether they are young or old, no education and highly educated due to the harshness of economic and financial problems in which most people experiencing due to loss of income of the breadwinner.
Women in particular are easy prey in this situation with the promise easy money and wealth depending on how many clients they can service in a day and how much the ask for the services of companionship other than sex with their guest or clientele. The sex trade has become a lucrative business under the underground economy with money exchanging from one person to person without intervention through tax by the government.
I did met someone before and she narrated to me her story and experiences on how got into this venture. She was a 21 year old college student of a university or college somewhere in Quezon City and she badly needed the money for tuition and personal daily expenses and allowance in which she is an independent student working her way to finish her degree in an all-girl private religious university. She was enticed by her older sister in joining this venture when they go to clubs in Malate district meeting with foreign men especially with Japanese and Korean clienteles or sometimes Caucasian Men (Americans / Europeans ) coming in on sex tourism junket in which they have contact with middlemen or so called pimps or ("bugaw", in Filipino term). Their parents hardly knew what they were doing and thought that they were working in a famous Filipino fastfood joint somewhere in Manila at they took a simple refuge in a small rented room away from parents.
After a short stint with foreign sex tourist junket, they discovered the potentials of the internet in getting local clienteles and moved on to try local scene as well. They made good money on their ventures wherein they established a discrete and direct home-based operations with contacts from Philippine and International adult oriented forums found in the internet. Getting a clientele in the internet was easy but there is catch of being dumped by clients if they are not interested in them anymore with a lower price or if the man is looking for much prettier ladies. Comparing to ways PSPs are doing today from a decade ago they:
1. They do not need to stand the whole night waiting for clients.
2. Communications through the use of internet, cellphone and others have become a accessible to everyone. Wherein they can post their discrete photos on the sites.
3. PSPs requires stringent screening of potential clients by separating and hoax or nuisance clients.
4. Requires time management skills to juggle school schedule with work.
5. Bugaws or Pimps have been removed with PSP having direct control of their time, finances and business dealings.
In my opinion, it has evolved a lot with the coming of age new forms of communication and access to technology which played a major part in this trade that have helped them more.
Prostitution is illegal in this country and laws on this matter are very strict in penalizing someone caught. However, the judicial process is slow and that law has not enough teeth to curb and disdain young women from joining sex trade.
