While it is illegal to sell or procure sex, prostitution continues to thrive. The prostitution laws in the Philippines however, only cover women and exclude men from its definition allowing them to practice with little to no fear of repercussions. This study seeks to provide a legal framework in penalizing male prostitution by utilizing a comparative method of research using data mining looking for commonalities and differences between the legal systems of Albania and the Philippines and the possible harmonization of these laws in both legal systems. There is a legal bases in penalizing male prostitution. The Philippines is a likewise duty-bound to perform its constitutional and international law obligation to promote equality between men and women. Thus, the Philippines should include penalizing male prostitution to comply with its obligation. Prostitution is seen to be inherently immoral and commercially exploitative. It empowers the criminal underworld and promotes the repression of men, women, children, thus, the state has its obligation to regulate the same to control further the harm it brings to society. Lastly, after comparing the legal framework between the Philippines and Albania, it is included that male prostitution should be deemed illegal and thus, be penalized.
