Are You Looking To Marry A Filipina?

Marriage to a Philippine Lady
Getting wed to a lady from Philippines is a great thing but is not always for everyone, usually the old story, a Philippines lady may be all things to a man, but not all Philippine girls can be all things to every single man, in other words, it is not a good idea to stereotype girls from the Philippines.
Quite often Philippine women are shoved into the same pigeon hole as many other ladies from the SE Asian countries, such as China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Thailand, South Korea.
The ladies from these countries, usually tend to have comprehensively different languages, completely differing religions, different cultures, and different ways of eating food (especially dried fish!!).
In that sense, if I am totally honest with you, I really should deter British guys from marrying Philippine ladies simply because they are 'Filipina', and perpetuated by the mythical notion that Filipina's are submissive , wonderful wives that do not answer back, and are great in the bedroom!
So I have a little test for the prospective husband to see if he knows anything about his potential future wife, culture, country and customs. There are no real fixed answers to these questions, but they may benefit you to see beyond the tunnel vision of love.
Questions:
1. Can you find the Philippines on an atlas?
2. Do you know what is the Philippine Capital?
3. Do you know who is the current President of the Philippines?
4. Do you know what are the main regions are of the Philippines?
5. Do you know what main religions are practiced in the Philippines?
6. Do you know the main languages spoken in the Philippines, and your potential wife's local dialogue?
7. Are you prepared to have kids, if so, are you prepared for many and mixed colour children?
8. Do you know why a number of Filipinos have Spanish names?
9. Are you tolerant of superstitions?
10. Are you prepared to provide 'Sustento' (alimony) for her family for education and expenses, if they require your help?
11. Do you know which eating implements are preferred? Chopsticks, fingers or cutlery.
12. Do you like fish products? Especially the smell of cooking dried fish! YUCK!
13. Do you expect your Philippine wife to be obedient and submissive after the marriage?
14. Do Filipinos bow when they meet each other?
15. What is the difference between Bisayan, Tagalog, Filipino, Cebuano, Ilongo?
16. Are you just getting married for sex? Be honest about this.
17. Are you wishing to marry a Philippine woman because you dislike British women?
18. What do you think the differences are between a Japanese woman, a Thai woman or a Philippine woman?
19. Are you tolerant of a lot of Bureaucracy or are do you not suffer fools gladly ?
20. Do you like hot climates with high humidity or hate them? Mosquito's? Poisonous spiders and snakes ?
21. Are you prepared for all the costs affected? At least one trip to the Philippines plus all the visa fees (UK currently over #1500)?
22. How long will you be prepared to wait to get her to the UK? It can be done in less than 6 months from initial contact, but usually a year, it depends on what mood the embassies are in and whether or not you supply the correct information. If they are already married, this can really take as long as 1-3 years to get an annulment (usually a few thousand in UK pounds). If they have kids and they wish to bring them, and the farther is on the birth certificate, this can cause additional delay and costs.
A very small minority of Asian girls are out to get money off you and nothing else. If a Filipina ever asks for cash before you have met, or within the first few months of knowing them, move on quickly, or you will find yourself with more problems than you can handle. You can tell a honest and true Filipina, they will NEVER ask for money.
Filipino UK is a free forum to help UK-Philippine relationships handle visa applications, immigration advice, save you refusals, helps you make new friends, and plenty more.
For UK residents you will either require a SPOUSE VISA or a FIANCEE VISA (Do not go for a Visitor Visa the majority are refused). For further information and for all visa documents and legal information please visit the UK Border Agency.
Maybe a wedding in Las Vegas would interest you!

Strange comment as this article was put together and agreed on by the Filipino's on my forum http://www.filipinouk.co.uk/forum/
not so strange, filipinas do not know the meaning of the word "pride" they will do pretty much anything to be with a white man=)
I think topgunjager is trying to comment on something he can't really put his finger on but he feels that something doesn't gel.
In my opinion, it's not so much that anything wrong is being said about Filipinas in this hub, nor are they actually being sold. It's just that the writing style is crass, impersonal, and never brings up the subject of love or a loving relationship - which is what the Filipina is looking for. She's not looking for a job as a domestic servant or sex object.
The article doesn't feel right because it seems to lower Filipinas in general to inanimate commodities that Brits purchase and import because they're good at completing their marital duties to the satisfaction of those willing to spend the money to get one. Again, that's not said but the article just feels like that.
Maybe it's just the British writing style that seems objectionable... I can't quite put my finger on it either.
hey topgunjager..you got wrong impression about us filifina...you hurt our feelings
As long as u love the girl and she loves you thats all that matters
what a pile of nonsense bla bla from a man who probably thinks with his dickhead!
I certainly agree with Marco Marks..
Hey mister how many filipinas have you met. What u have just writtin is digusting to all filipinas who read ur article. Before putting all your judgment there meet all filipina women because they are different. There are many things we can comment about bristish. First thing is they just want to play with filipina's feeling because of their character submissive, faithful, and so trusting. Well for one biritish loves fun and sex they already have girlfried but they still fuch bar girls. British can never be serious specially 40's to 100 age. They just want to shop phil girls.
this is a great hubpages!!! two thumbs up!!!
i like it too
I married American guy 4 years ago. I went to Texas in his home. It was hard at first to get used to America. My husband was alot older to me by 22 years. I was 23 and Michael was 45 then. I tried to love him but we decide we are to different peoples. Sadly we separated but I found the love of my love this year at ny work in a restaurant. Yes i like white guys more than filipino guy. We filipinas are all different just like man from all countries. I wish everyone find true love like me.
Filipina's lie to their Aussie husbands, steal, cheat on them given any opportunity and milk them of any $$$ that you worked ALL YOUR LIFE for, to support her parents, brothers, sisters, aunties, uncles, nieces, nephews and her struggling many friends back home in Phillipines. You will become her ATM machine. DON'T BE A SUCKER. Are you willing to forfeit your credit card to her permanently???? She will argue with screaming fits to you if you don't. They're not as good at cooking nor at cleaning. They finger-pick their flat noses and don't care for the anglo/european way of etiquette. The stereotype that they are domesticated is a lie. They will always be on Facebook/Twitter/Skype with their family and friends (at YOUR EXPENSE $$$) EVERY MINUTE of the day. You become LAST PLACE to her family and friends. Their English accent is very very annoying - you will eventually get fed up with it. They are not genuinely religious, they use religion as a front to hook a westerner for $$$. How do I know all this? I have just ended my marriage with a Filipina because here in Australia I lost all my possessions BEFORE divorce. Get it? My Life Savings..... gone! My Houses.... gone! To make matters worse, she did what most Filipinas who miss their homeland do...... she self-harmed herself (eg slits with knives on her body) and claimed to police that I DID IT! Lucky that the police didn't believe this - they obviously know this ploy all too well! exploiting someone who only wants you as a ticket to a better life is not really a recipe for happiness. Guys, listen to me, stay away from these devil women for your own sanity. I'm 53 divorced(no kids) and will contine searching for my beautiful sweetheart Aussie darlings, STUFF chasing foreign Asians (believe me, they are NOT better) i don't care how long it takes. I'm here to warn you guys. Filipinas are expert manipulators, exploiters, opportunists. Take care & BE SMART!
Filipinos don't marry British guys for money,it seems that your underestimating the filipinos. They married because they love each other not because of money or sex!
There seems to be several people who find it easy to blame everything on their Filipina wives. That's just sad and disgusting. I am married to a Filipina and I could not be happier. She is a caring, loving and wonderful woman. Maybe the problem is that instead of spending some time and finding a true traditional Filipino wife, you went out and grabbed the first bargirl that would talk to you out in Angeles City. But then I guess you got what you wanted, but before you blame everything on the Filipina, try looking at yourself in the mirror, and as far as finding yourself a Aussie darling, good for you, maybe when you start acting like an ass with her, she'll just feed you to her dingo.
