She ran away from home at the age of 14 years old and started to going around with her peers. She was duped with the offer of her friend to work as nanny for one year. After a year of working as nanny, she stopped and started to hang around with her peers in the streets until she reached eighteen years old. Another friend offered her to work in a establishment bar in Bayview, Sasa. She worked there for 5 years when she was recruited by a friend to work in one of the known big clubs in Manila. Her friend told her that she will earn more money there than in Davao and it is easier. True enough, she was earning 200 pesos for every ladies’ drink and 2,000 pesos when a man will take her out when she ended in two of the biggest bars in Manila. The recruiter assisted her in getting health permit so she can stay as entertainer in the bar. She narrated that she experienced abuses from the customers of the bar like verbal abuse when she refused to be touched in private body parts, humiliation and even physical. She was not also spared from being forced to go out with men even if she does not want to. While in Manila, she regularly sent money to her family in Davao for her child whom she left to their care. Her child was the reason she stayed in Manila because she need to support his needs. She worked there for more than 2 years until she decided to came back to Davao. She never told her family of her ordeal in Manila because she know that they cannot help her also. Upon returning to Davao, a neighbor asked her to go with her to Carmen, Davao del Norte to try their luck in one of the karaoke bars there. She stays there as entertainer and also go out with men until the pandemic hit. Her experiences on abuse is not limited to men whom she met in the bars but also with her intimate partners. When she was 26 years old she met the father of her son in the bar work in Bayview,Sasa. They lived together for a month and the man left her when she got pregnant. The man did not support her while she is pregnant and continuously work as entertainer until her sixth month. She tried to ask for child support from the man but he just ignored her plea. She raised her son alone by working in a karaoke bar. In 2020 she met another man who became her closest friend and eventually become her partner. This made her decide to quit working in the bar and started to sell food in the neighborhood. Her partner abused her by hitting or slapping and these resulted to bruises when they quarrel over petty things. She tried to put up with the violent tendencies of her partner but she decided to end the relationship when it got worst. She is currently tending to her sari-sari store, a livelihood she got from the Department of Social Welfare and Development but the income is not enough for her daily needs. Prepared By: 21
