UN urges Philippines to legalize prostitution, do you agree?

The Philippines and other Asian countries should decriminalize sex-related jobs in order to provide sex workers access to basic rights and to control the spread of sexually transmitted infections especially HIV, a new United Nations report said.

"The legal recognition of sex work as an occupation enables sex workers to claim benefits, to form or join unions and to access work-related banking, insurance, transport and pension schemes," the report dubbed "Sex Work and the Law in Asia and the Pacific" showed.

It added that "in decriminalized contexts, the sex industry can be subject to the same general laws regarding workplace health and safety and anti-discrimination protections as other industries." Decriminalization, the report said, involves the repeal of laws criminalizing sex work, being clients to sex workers or engaging in activities associated with sex work.

Berocca Performance combats physical tiredness and improves performance.Berocca Performance has a unique combination of high doses of water soluble vitamins: Vitamin B Complex + Vitamin C + Essential Minerals (Calcium, Magnesium and Zinc).

It comes in the form of effervescent tablets; simply drop one into a cold glass of water, watch it fizz, and have a refreshing orange drink. Taking one on a daily basis is just like taking a bottle of soda, but unlike an unhealthy, sugar laced, hyper-acidity causing soda, a Berocca daily is a very healthy habit. It enables you to perform on full blast, and strengthens the immune system.  It’s available in drugstores and selected supermarkets nationwide.  So for those who doesn't want to take vitamins thru tablet or capsule here is Berocca for you.
