I feel sorry for IGNORANT people like him. He came from a first world country and yet have a narrow mind. For the record NOT all caucasians acts superior. DON’T GENERALIZE.
Some are nice, some are just plain ignorant…

TRUTH HURTS many times..i am so my co-filipina yeah it hurts but IT IS TRUE.. konti pa nga yan eh..a lot of more rotten truths about the philippines and it is not your fault dear Filipina! so why feel agony??
If your husband treats you second class or violates your human rights or abuses you ..that is a different story.. i will suggest get out of that relationship
and that is agony but to express the truth about the situation here is embarrassing pero it’s true eh!

mga police, nbi, corrupt officials …see what you are doing??kayo may kasalanan mga yan..so filipino don’t be like them..

Love is the key! I am black american and my wife is pinay and we have a life together that many people would die for. Why? Not because we are financially well off or anything like that. It’s simply because we love each other for who we are inside. From what I read here, understand that married couples go through adjustment which is a common thing. Specially when they are from two different cultures. Time will tell who that person really is and how much they love you. So, before you decide to slip a ring on that finger, no matter how lovely that person is on the outside, realize that marriage is a life-long commitment!

Politics is politics, women are women and men are men. First choose a mater your equally yoked with. Even if he has a valid piont it is no reason to be insensitive to the needs of his dear wife. As for Phili well My two sons and I have never been there but are outaged of the lack of concern by all. We understand the need so as of November we are relocating to open a home for unwed mothers, and to establish small business to help local economy and jobless rate. Dont talk if your not willing to be a person of action. Did that husband ever make any actions to help her family? My fiance is from Illigan and well she doesnt care about America, not all phili women do. Do they want support? Ahhh HELLO! what wife doesnt. Grow up you men and be the men God called you to be.

i am a filipina married to american also, i admit we have some different insights about the cultures of filipino and i understand that we grewn up in such different world, but my husband actually respected the life of filipino people, as a matter of fact he really loves pinas and plan to go back there. i always tell my husband that i am proud of my country regardless of political issues.
Philippine is Philippines and he should bare in his mind that you’r already one of the beauty he took from philippines!

The guy mentioned, did it say he was American..haha, didn`t catch it. Anyway, GodBless the Philippines for what it is, A place of cultural richness, great people and hospitality, and above all it`s unwavering “SPIRIT”. I have been to the Philippines Numerous times, had a couple problems here and there, but you know what? It was never with the people. It`s the Political philiosophy of exporting it`s experienced “Labor Force and Talented People”. If the POEA, or OFW and even the Government of the Philippines Fail to realize, is that They need to Build a solid infrastructure from within, with its people. They need to look within themselves, and look around, To the Government of the Philippines, Keep your people home, build the Jobs needed and quit taking Pennies on the dollar for the businesses u bring in and take money for. Take the outside money and Build, for to build in the philippines will Match, singapore and other Asian nations! Create the Jobs, Because the filipino are not lazy, they crave the work to raise their children, provide homes and a better way of Life..GodBless The Philippines…cause Manny can`t do it all by himself!!! Give the people a government or president they can really be proud of!!

I am a Filipina with a super understanding, sweet, loving, handsome American bf frm Ohio..we met in Japan..despite of us being different in colors and cultures we do not address the differences whatever our background is. If you want to find and feel love and be loved..there’s no color, there’s no race..it’s love in mysterious ways… We love each other so much and he enjoys my funny stories about home and he’s in the navy so he had been to the Philippines several times.. he loved the people and the place and the weather.. next year hopefully we’re going to move to Cebu and start a little business and get married…I want to delay the wedding coz I am still preparing myself to get married besides I am still young and enjoying singlehood..but God knows how much I want to be his wife..just not now.. I want to be stable financially coz I also wanna pamper my bf with gifts the way he does to me.. I love him so much! And about the article by the way…the Filogirl should junk that man.. she can do better!

I am an american living in the Philippines with a Filippina girlfriend so to be wife. I respect the country and the people. That guys problem is not the Philippines. He is an asshole. Plenty of them in the US.
