To answer these questions, the researchers did desk and library research, visited the archives of the Quezon City Hall and the Senate and House of Representatives, and conducted interviews to gather the perception of five stakeholders namely: prostitutes, clients, business operators, law enforcers, and women's groups. The findings of the researchers on the policies, proposed bills, and stakeholders' perceptions, using the lens of ethic of care, would show that the country is generally not willing to legalize prostitution in the country although moves to decriminalize prostitutes have been successful.
