- Anti_Mail-Order_Bride_Law abstract "Republic Act 6955 of the Philippines, commonly known as the Anti Mail-Order-Bride Law, prohibits the business of organizing or facilitating marriages between Filipinas and foreign men, or Mail-Order Brides. The Philippine congress enacted in 1990 as a result of stories in the local media about Filipinas being abused by their foreign husbands. Because of this, Filipinas often use \"reverse publications\" – publications in which men advertise themselves – to contact foreign men for marriage to Filipina women.In practice, the law is readily circumvented by basing matchmaking agencies outside the Philippines as no law prohibits their operation in destination countries such as Japan, the United States of America or South Korea. In 2009, the Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) had just three active cases open against marriage brokers; there were no cases between 2003 and 2007. It has been used occasionally to combat forced marriage and human trafficking; while its penalties are weaker than those of Republic Act 9208 (the 2003 Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act), cases under it may be easier to prove in the slow and inefficient Philippine judicial system.In April 2009, Philippine ambassador to South Korea Luis Cruz estimated 6,000 Filipinas had met South Korean spouses through matchmaking agencies. Some of these brides have complained of domestic violence or false information regarding their partner’s background. Philippine embassies have issued warnings regarding interracial matchmaking agencies that violate local laws in their own country and use deceptive advertising.In August 2013, a bill was introduced in the Philippine House of Representatives to extend the law to internet services. Rep. Cinchona Gonzales (CIBAC), who filed the bill, said \"A new era of professional prostitution or high-end pornography through the web was born which downgrades the integrity not only of Filipino women, but of the country as a whole.\"".
