In the Philippines, child cyber pornography emerges in the context of poverty, where it is seen as a means to earn some money to help boost the family’s finances. It is mostly a small operation, sometimes a family operation where the parents operate the computer and deal with the clients through the internet. They pimp their own children, making them perform in front of webcams for clients overseas.
