This project aimed to deepen public understanding of cybersex by situating this phenomenon in the intersection of the ICT economy, technology, and service work in the Philippines. By closely examining cybersex in two case study sites—Olongapo City, Zambales and Angeles City, Pampanga—the researchers probe on pressing concerns about the effects of capitalist-driven information technology on labor conditions and relations in the sex industry.
This project was awarded funding by the International Development Research Centre-Singapore Internet Research Center’s (IDRC-SIRC) Strengthening Information Society Research Capacity Alliance II Programme (SIRCA II) on 1 January 2012.
