OVERHEARD. An Ear informer was at a known redlight district along D. Jakosalem St. late last night. A taxicab was parked at the roadside with the hazard lights blinking, the male passenger inside waiting. The cabbie was seen talking to two pimps. The cabbie told the pimps that his passenger, a Chinese businessman, wants a 14-year-old girl. The cabbie said, “Mas maayo kung virgin.”
TEEN SEX WORKERS. The two pimps said they have 14-year-olds but none of them are virgins. The cabbie then told the pimps to gather the girls for the usual “inspection” where the girls would parade in front of the taxicab, spotlighted by the cab’s headlights while the customer inside the cab will take his pick. As the pimps left to gather the girl, one pimp was heard telling the other, “Apila na lang to silang ___, 16 na man to sila, pero puwede pa mailad nga 14. Ayaw na to silang ___ kay 18 na to. Mga tiguwang na to sila.”
