  • Situational Analysis of Child Prostitution in Iligan City* Socio
    Situational Analysis of Child Prostitution in Iligan City* Socio- Economic Research Center- Notre Dame University; Department of Labor & Employment Region XII Email: [email protected], [email protected] INTRODUCTION 1.0 Background of the Study Children are said to be the future of the nation. For them to become better and effective adult members of the society, they are sent to school at the age of 6 to 18 years for the much needed training and education. Ironically, in most developing countries, like the Philippines, children work as family breadwinners, or to augment family income as indicated by their increasing number on the streets, factories, and farms. (PDI, Dec. 27, 1990). Experts expressed that the growing number of children participating in livelihood activities can be attributed to the worsening economic conditions in the country. Instead of being in school, these children are engaged in various types of occupations. They are scavengers in Smokey Mountain, cane cutters in Negros, vegetable planters in La Trinidad Valley in Benguet and muro-ami divers in Cebu and Palawan, to cite a few examples. Many of the poor young Filipino children are joining the labor force despite a law banning child labor. (PDI, Dec. 27, 1990). In rural areas, poor families generally involve their children in farm work and household chores. This is expected because these families cannot afford to hire farm labor and/or household helpers. Urban poor children are living in more dangerous situations compared to their rural counterparts. Denied of the basic right to a normal healthy way of life because of extreme poverty, children are robbed of their dignity when they become victims of prostitution.

Increasing economic opportunities that are typically linked to industrialization enhance the attractiveness of a location and result to population increases. The inverse of this process could also be true, that is, an economic distress could hit an area and force its residents to leave and seek better forts.

    Lake Lanao: Its Past and Present Status Roman P. Rosagaron College of Fisheries, Mindanao State University Marawi City Rosagaron RP 2001. Lake Lanao: Its past and present status, pp. 29-39. In CB Santiago, ML Cuvin-Aralar and ZU Basiao (eds.). Conservation and Ecological Management of Philippine Lakes in Relation to Fisheries and Aquaculture. Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, Aquaculture Department, Iloilo, Philippines; Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development, Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines; and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, Quezon City, Philippines. 187 pp. Abstract Geographically located in Central Mindanao, Lake Lanao is the second largest lake in the Philippines. The lake is famous locally for its various uses and internationally for its endemic cyprinids. This paper intends to inform the local leaders and the national planners about Lake Lanao's dwindling fisheries resources, the extinction of some endemic cyprinids, and the current interventions as well as suggested action plans to increase fish production and to conserve the remaining species in the lake. The past and present studies on the lake are also reviewed. Early and latest statistics on the lake's fisheries production are presented to invite the interest of all sectors in coming up with the integrated approach to protect, conserve and increase its fisheries production. Local and national interventions to conserve and increase fisheries production are discussed. These include the setting up of BFAR Fisheries Station in Kialdan, Marantao; the establishment of a fish hatchery in Poona, Marantao by Southern Philippines Development Authority; the formation of Save Lake Lanao Movement by the local leaders; the creation of Lake Lanao Research and Development Council; the current concern of Philippine Council for Aquatic and Marine Research and Development-DOST; and the extension and research and development thrusts of the Mindanao State University, College of Fisheries in Marawi City.
