Not only were bald Canadians ogling the prostitues, so were terrorist masterminds. Perhaps one of the most infamous open water students of all times took his Padi course in Puerto Galera -- Khalid Sheik Mohammed -- architect of 9/11.
See below section in Private Life:

Too bad he couldn't have just blown up all the ugly oil tanks.
Agreed that Sabang is no Pattaya, but the sex trade was very in your face when I was a regular visitor between 2000 and 2002.

I'm just saying that I've seen much worse in other places I've traveled to and I don't want people to get the wrong impression. I respect the fact that you felt that way when you were there but I see it differently.
I love the Philippines and have revisited since moving back to NYC. I'd totally love to make another trip there one day. I'd take a dive on the Sabang Wreck over the Stolt Dagali wreck in New York any day.
But, I just got to say if a couple is expecting a romantic tropical getaway, it's fair to point out that if they book a cottage in Sabang, to expect the tinkling lights of not too distant oil tanks and vibrant sex trade. Some can ignore it, others can feel cheated, especially if they flew to the other side of the world and spent a year saving up for it.
