RED LIGHT ZONE. Men, young and old, from neighboring Central Visayas cities, come to Cebu City late weekends and go straight to what they have learned to call “Red Light Zone.” They refer to Colon St. where so-called commercial sex workers ply their trade at night.

WELL-KNOWN. An Ear informer who works in one of the watering holes in Colon said taxis from the waterfront would park near where he works and unload men passengers in the wee hours of the night. “Lainan ko maminaw sa ilang tawag sa Colon nga 'Red Light Zone',” The Ear informer said.
