American Arrested in Tacloban for Child Abuse

Michael David Vogt was arrested in Tacloban and charged with child abuse and “cuddling” two minors inside his hotel room according to ABS-CBN. The report doesn’t tell us when this happened but I assume it’s recent.
Apparently this guy was using the internet to search for, as the report has it, a wife but he had to take photos of them first and of course sample the “goods”.
I don’t mean to offend anyone with that last statement but that seems to be the modus operandi of so many foreign travelers in the Philippines. They seem to treat Filipinas and the Filipino people as something less than human, as something or someone to shop for and buy or sell at will.
It’s would be nice if this were an isolated incident but it’s not. This sort of behavior, among foreign men, is rampant and in many cases worse than what’s been reported.
