Beware of Filipina Scammers

I was browsing through youtube for a good article topic. I keyed in Filipina, Filipinos and Filipino-western relationships on the search bar and although I found some inspiring wedding videos of happily-married Filipino-Western couples, I also came across equally disappointing clips of Filipina online scammers.

1. Marriage to Filipinos is a lifelong commitment which is why there is, generally speaking, no divorce in the Philippines. It is not a spur of the moment thing or a product of a passing fling. It is from this idea that all other marital traits of Filipinas come from, faithfulness, understanding, patience, etc. She will stick with you through thick and thin because when a Filipina commits to a marriage that means you are the one and the only one. Most Filipinas who get widowed don’t even remarry even when there is no prohibition to the contrary because of this “one true love” idea.

NOT ALL FILIPINAS ARE GOOD

Just before I got married I had an American friend (well he was actually a father of a chatmate). I didn’t really know him that much and likewise. But he called me one day in November and asked me a huge favor of tracking down his fiancé in Cebu. He said they we’re set to be married in January of the next year and although he has never met this girl he trusted her so much and believed everything she said, in short he was besotted with a virtual girlfriend. He thought everything was all set for their wedding, He sent her close to P300,000 to cover the expenses of the wedding and more than that before to set her up on a business (he actually thought she owns a grocery)!!!! He said he was worried she was hiding because whenever he calls her house she is always away so he feels like she is hiding from him.

This is a continuation of the story to be found here.

In the first years of marriage, Steven and Ning found that their jobs had them working different schedules. This upset Ning, because her father-a doctor-had worked long hours, and she did not want that pattern to repeat itself in her marriage. So one morning she lit into Steven about his work hours. Later that day he showed up at her office with flowers and a big apology. He really thought they were on the brink of separation. She laughed. To her, it was just a fight. She was letting off steam.
