Prostitution is the business or practice of engaging
in sexual activity in exchange for payment.[1][2] Prostitution
is sometimes described as sexual services, commercial sex or, colloquially, hooking. It is sometimes referred to euphemistically as "the world's oldest profession" in the English-speaking world.[3][4] A person who works in this field is called a prostitute and is a type of sex worker.
The Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
Expression (SOGIE, Tagalog: ['sɔdʒi]) Equality Bill, also known as theAnti-Discrimination Bill (ADB),[1][2] is a proposed legislation of the Congress of the Philippines. It is intended to prevent various economic and public accommodation-related acts of discrimination against people based on their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.[3] The current versions of the bill are championed by Kaka Bag-ao, Geraldine Roman, and Tom Villarin in the House of Representatives, and Risa Hontiveros in the Senate. The version in the House of Representative passed its third reading most recently on September 20, 2017, but died in the Senate.[4] It has been refiled for the 18th Congress.
