The Pink Community in the Philippines, in my opinion, contributes a big portion in the country's annual GDP. However, my claim may fall short with the standards of an economist. But, as an active member of the midnight society who spends a considerable amount of money to meet, date, flirt and have sex with men; I could not help but believe in what I am saying.

The computation is easy. Recall the amount you have spent for/to men throughout the whole year. This includes mobile phone credits credited either to you or your particular guy, transportation expenses for both of you and your guy, food expenses for the all the parties involved, movie tickets, grocery items, clothing expenses; or if you're one big spender don't forget the tuition fees, or the monthly house amortization for your guy which includes the electric, water, cable, phone and internet connection bills. Plus, don't forget the daily/weekly/monthly allowance or the per-appearance fee and also the motel bills. Sum everything up and multiply it with the number of homosexuals residing and/or has recipients(remittance) in the Philippines. And mind you, the amount is shocking.

Well, it's both a sad and inviting truth, that men are very willing to engage into homosexual activities for monetary benefits. They're everywhere. We can find them in the streets, in schools, in malls, in churches and even in hospitals and funeral homes. All hungry for pleasure and money. And here we are, beautiful creatures all prepared to run in the nearest ATM for cash.

Hmmm.... I wonder if we could lobby in both houses of the congress and the senate a bill for tax exemption. We are, in the first place, the unrecognized factor of economic revival and the unsung heroes of needy handsome men. Swipe that.
