The Life of a Filipina Hooker - Behind the smiles, the makeup and the short skirts

...Greeting them was blasting rock music from hundreds of bars in nearby Olongapo City, and inside were thousands of call-girls waiting for their next uniformed "trick".

Among them was Minda Pascual.

"The bar owners would announce that a big ship was coming in and they always said that we should look our best for the customers," Pascual recalls.

It was a reception the seamen eagerly awaited after months at sea. But behind the parties and the colourful neon lights, and hidden by the girls' smiles, make-up and scandalously short skirts, lurked intense misery...
