Indecency is a CRIME
In Flint, Michigan, pulling your pants down to reveal your the brand of your underwear or boxer shorts will earn you a warning.
Showing your butt crack will either get you in jail and/or a significant fine. I think they just redefined the meaning of BUTT CRACK ALERT.
There's no point in asking, "how come we don't have any similar laws in the Philippines?" Because we do: in city ordinances.
Specifically the Manila City Ordinance under general provision, subtitled "Offenses against Public Morals" list, among 12 other offenses including Prostitution (ordinance no. 7991), is Indecent Exposure (ordinance no. 7732).
Other Philippine cities have a similar ordinance. It goes back to the same political problem we've had since Spanish Era: it's not about writing laws, it's about implementing them.
