Mary used vulcaseal ( roof sealant) and every time she is sleeps her mouth smells
vulcaseal. Last 2017, her neighbor named “Nelyn” recruited her to go with her so she
can earn money. Since she needed money for her studies and food she grabbed the
offer without really knowing the how to of earning. Mary stated that “nisugot nalang
ko te kay pait man kayo mi sa balay ug hapit nasad to akoang birthday, para naa sad
koy pangbirthday” (I was forced to join her because of poverty and my birthday that
time was fast approaching).
She was brought to Ponciano St. and Central Bank along Tionko St. and her first
costumer was a Chinese and knows how to speak bisaya. She was brought to a hotel
but when they got there, she started to cry because she was scared since it’s her first
time with a man. The costumer still gave her money worth 3,000 without touching
her. Her next customer was a foreigner and that time she engaged into a sexual
activity and the costumer gave her 5,000 pesos and Mikay gave the 1,000 pesos to her
pimp. She gave some money to her mother and when asked on the source of the
money she will just reply “I cleaned someone’s house and they gave me money”.
According to her friend named “Sheene” she is still engaged in prostitution. Last
December, Mary would even asked Sheene to come with her and use shabu but
Sheene would resist since she decide to stop to use drugs. In January 2019, Mary’s
friend name Shine stated that they went to Queensland hotel and met Mary’s
costumer via facebook but did not succeed because her costumer did not show up.
Mary was introduced to Talikala and that was the time she know about her rights as a
woman. She also participated in some processing activities and shared her stories.
While in the program, she still engage in prostitution because of the economic
difficulty her family experienced. The client undergo regular counseling and was
planning to stop prostitution and go back to her studies.
Currently, she is a Grade 11 student and she received educational assistance from
DSWD.
