didnt they bust the chinese gymnast girls being like 3 in the olympics or something? age with that part of world is tricky.

There are nice Filipinos for sure, but every single one of them would rip you off for money if they had the chance or if they end up in cetrain situations. Give them your finger, they'll take your hand. No exceptions, it's in their blood. Just like their lack of common sense.

Yeah because people get their lives lost everyday in the Philippines over underground cam studios. When it comes to the Philippines and being smart. It's always, kill now ask questions later. ;)

Wow, that is pretty big news. Not good news for the Filipinos at all.

Even I am a filipino that is a good news for me. :)

"legal reasons"?

It appears that myfreecams is trimming the fat as some models from the Philippines will be allowed to remain as part of their main page lineup, so I can't be sure what the real story is. It just appears as though myfreecams is cutting down their bandwidth consumption with the lower earning models and are using the Philippines as their target for where to start cutting. When their Miss myfreecams contest is taken into consideration (both one contest for main page, and one additional contest for the asian page) , added up, number one through ten, the dollar amount total is $2,700.00 in prizes. Eliminating Miss myfreecams "asian" from the equation saves them some money right there.

A model friend of mine in Romania copied over the announcement that models see when they log into their business accounts. I noted the legal problems don't seem to extend to the top asian models.

Oct 26th, '11 Asian Homepage Closure
**THE FOLLOWING ONLY AFFECTS MODELS ON THE ASIAN HOMEPAGE**

Unfortunately, effective October 31 2011, we are closing the Asian Homepage portion of MyFreeCams.com, which is where models from the Philippines broadcasted their webcams.

The top models that are shown on both the normal homepage and the Asian Homepage will continue to be shown on the normal homepage and they will have no change to their account.

The models that are shown only on the Asian Homepage will have their accounts closed at the end of the pay period on October 31 2011.

All models will be paid all of their earnings like always.

Even after the account have been closed, models will still be able to login and check their previous stats and change their payment information if needed to make sure that they are paid everything they are owed.

This immediate change was required for legal reasons and there was nothing we could do to avoid it. We are truly sorry. We cannot provide any more details.

We value all of our models from all over the world and we hope that in the future we are able to once again broadcast models from the Philippines.

There are many other websites who are able to accept models from the Philippines, and if you need help finding another site please contact our model suppport and we will do our best to help you.

Please accept our sincerest apologies from the entire MyFreeCams Team -- we always tried to do our best for you and we are very sad to see this day come.

**THE PRECEDING ONLY AFFECTS MODELS ON THE ASIAN HOMEPAGE**


It just looks to me that myfreecams is tightening up their ship. Can't blame them for that if costs are the real reason.

True. This goes for all peoples in all nations.

Us, the West, are party responsible. We continue sending out this message to the rest of the world that having money is great, without wanting to share anything with them. Instead, we exploit them. So they get desperate, and some of them lose it and become violent. In the UK people have been convicted for producing animal crushing videos as well.

So my comment "Philipines to everything for money" was wrong. My apologies.

Go to any developing country and you'll see the same thing.

I'm sure worse happens in Cambodia.

Not a big loss, just checked the asian version.
Totally unsexy hoes...

Very weird that your mind turns to "sexual exploitation" when no such thing was even mentioned in my post.

Whereas you possess an all seeing eye? HINT: If you're going to make a claim about a situation being "far worse" then you're going to have to do a lot better than "I know it, but it just happens to be invisible to other people".

And if you really had anything more than hot air to try and dispute what I said you'd have taken the time to 're-educate' me, rather than spouting off vague, unprovable drivel for which you have absolutely no evidence.

The population of the Philippines is about 50% larger than that of Thailand, the GDP of Thailand is about 50% higher than the Philippines, and Thailand ranks higher than the Philippines on the HPI (measuring life expectancy, literacy, education and standard of living for countries worldwide).

And yet despite there being demonstrably more poverty in the Philippines and MILLIONS more potential sex workers in the Philippines, Thailand has more 'adult' bars/clubs than the Philippines, there are more shooters and producers in Thailand than the Philippines and there are more websites dedicated to Thai porn than Filipino porn.

All of it a result of the fact that Thailand has over 10 MILLION more foreign tourists every year than the Philippines. And since sexual exploitation in those countries is primarily the result of catering to foreigners, it's absolutely inconceivable that the Philippines, with ten million fewer tourists than Thailand, has "far more" sexual exploitation than Thailand. At best nobody knows, so I don't know who you think you're impressing by pretending you do.

Of course, if you ever uncover a single shred of actual evidence to back up your unsubstantiated opinion that "sexual exploitation" (whatever you mean by that) is "far worse" in the Philippines, feel free to 're-educate' me.

What you said in your post is the real story: they probably just don't make enough.

Not necessarily their fault. Most are not professional, hardened sex workers (so don't put any effort in to perform), they're cursed with the slowest internet on the planet, and I suspect most people who want Asian cams don't think of MFC anyway.

I also doubt it's any real loss to Filipino cam performers; most of them work on other, arguably better, sites. It's only people on this board who jerk off over MFC like it's the only cam site around.

I couldn't even read that other post you made, but it brought back unpleasant memories of a website that I saw in 2000, called 'dollmate.com'. I complained about it at the time to animal welfare organizations, all appropriate forums I could find, the German hosting company ("dollmate" was an Austrian woman), and even German usenet groups (Google actually has one of my posts archived). I kept checking for a short while afterwards to see if it was still online and it was, so I don't know if anything was done about it.

I remembered it a few years ago, maybe after hearing of other "crushing" stories, and was happy to see at that time it was defunct.

More AIDS in Thailand.

Ifriends shutted down models from philippines in like 2006....

Pretty face, typically miserable, useless non-performance that Filipinos specialize in.

karyna1: u fucking philipinez...you're all begging for tokens and if some one is not responding u ban them..

Someone actually started tipping, for no reason, she wasn't even posting, and all she did was move the cam away from herself to point at the wall for a few minutes and then went offline

2006 is also probably the last time anyone visited Ifriends.

That's why you should only screw the pretty ones.

maybe some of that Asian cam traffic will now land on some of my Japanese Cam pages :2 cents:

If you stick to that rule then nothing can go wrong.

Fool proof.

I hope the Russians are next

Thanks for the tip! I'll use that advice on my next vacation there. :winkwink:

hi , absolutely disgusted to hear about the crushing videos, what is a good place to donate to? im happy to give some money, is peta a responsible charity where most of the money actually goes to the cause?

fucking disgusting.

And as a back up if you're in doubt, just ask them if they are clean. Hookers don't lie, they will tell you.

I think PETA is pretty clean. There is some bad rap about them because they are enthusiastic about putting suffering animals asleep but apart from that they do a lot of good work. Another organization that does similar things for animals rights is the Human Society International.
