Option 1

 * Article title
 * Sex trafficking in the Philippines


 * Article Evaluation
 * It contains far too many citations, and far too many of them are from anecdotal news reports or articles. Only one scholarly source is used. It will be necessary to almost rewrite most of the article. The article is very vague, and does not give very much information that is specific to the Philippines, with sentences like "Pedophiles travel to the country for sex tourism" and "Filipino citizens, primarily women and girls, have been sex trafficked to the various provinces of the Philippines, as well as other countries in Asia and different continents." Most of the sentences sound like this and it is therefore not very useful to the reader.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Prostitution in the Philippines


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is much better written than the above, but is just not very in depth. It gives a brief overview of prostitution in some areas in the Philippines, and outlines some history. I think it would be worthwhile to expand on this article, including by elaborating on the relationship between the current Philippine government and prostitution, as well as the relationship between corruption and sex trafficking (touched on the article but not well elaborated on).

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Prostitution in the State of Palestine


 * Article Evaluation
 * Sources exist, and there are many sources even listed in the wikipedia sources. However, the article is not well written, and could use a lot of expansion.
