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.
i want marry pilipna
My husband knows all these and he eats dried fish! So shut the hell up you sick disgusting old bastard!
i meet my husband by mail,and the time i"m illegal here my husband help me to stay here,,live togehter for 10yrs married for 4yrs to stay here in uk not easy,but from the start i doing my papers until i get my visa my husband helping me..tha"t why everthnig i give to my husband my love,look after to him from food,drsses everythings his need..i working b"coz i need to support my family in the philippines i don"t want my husband money to give to my family b"coz i don"t want my responsibilty to my family i give to my husband...me and my husband long time no sex but i never never find the anonther men b"coz i love my husband all my heart...15 yrs cap me & my husband he older to me..i write this message b"coz not all pilipina is bad..i consider my self i different to others pilipina...i"m lucky to my husband....i love you all my heart...
am also searching man from uk to be my life time partner i hope i can find there
you guy's who's blaming all filipina is a very unlucky guy.... what happen to you is what you done, and you are deserving to that... you know nothing about filipina. i'm just engage with British man, and i am proudly to tell the whole world that i love my man with all of my heart and i want our married last forever. hi's older than me but i don't care anyone else thinking about us' because love for me is a flower it's bloom without knowing... you guys listen to that unlucky guy's to be unlucky too.
I am a filipina and married to a very sweet ,loving ausie and wanna tell you that he adore me because i am sweet,caring and loving and whatever people from overseas tried to discourage him to marry because what they thought that Filipinas or filipinos are gold diggers, but he did not believe and yes he found that it is not true ,he found me more loving and caring more than as he thought,so please guys is that if you really love each other and stay as sweet sweet forever and you will never regret ,it is just a two way process, pray with each other, and fulfill your commitments , understand the filipino culture same as the other culture, be honest and trust with each other then that is the key. whatever you don't like and just tell him or her in a nice way without saying bad words like most foreigners do which may hurt your women. So if you get divorce now and try next time and learn from your mistakes, perhaps you have done something wrong that made her or him separate you. a person who will be treated nicely will treat you nicely but if you treat her as a nunny then what will happen, then he will leave you at the end. Because a person who is good and abusing her goodness then she may burst out someday and will leave you. Be good to your spouse and she/he will do thesame. Look at the mirror and ask why he/she left you before complaining , perhaps you took her from the bar or somewhere because before marrying a person then you must know her/him first so you will not complain at the end. and never temp her/him with your money or else it will end into evil but if you share your great love and you will end to loving forever and stay committed . what is your goal anyway? is it to marry her/him forever or just to divorce him/her when you do not like her/him,then where is the commitment for poorer , for richer, for health and sickness till death do as part? where is that vows? better not to marry if you are not committed and stay single so nothing to complain .
Not all filipina women are like that...But take note that there more british and american women are worse than filipina....the more they will get your fucking dollars...if you still think that we filipina women are nice, easy to deal with, God fearing and knows how to value everyone as human, then dnt hesitate to email me at....lucenanaim2002@yahoo.com...i will share life about filipina women and how to fall in love with them..Take note also that age does not matter for us, it is because that we are created equally despite age gap and that there is no reallyy exact age for us to fall in love...it will just happen naturally...thanx
