To Beautiful Filipinas Only...

[bows00]

This topic is out there for the beautiful Filipinas. Men need not reply (but your comments are always welcome of course). Now my definition of a beautiful Filipina starts with the heart (a Filipina cultured heart). So if you have that beautiful Filipina heart, with integrety, honesty and an understanding of what love really is, then this thread is for you.

I need to understand this one point - what makes you (a beautiful Filipina), so loyal, true and loving to your partners and husbands? And why is the word "unconditional" more prevalent there in the Philippines than here in the US? Why is that? Is it all about security? Money? I truly don't believe that. The more I learn, the more I know, the more I believe it is ingrained in your culture - it's just the way you are... and it's heaven for me and thousands of other expats out there.

Why is that? I can't put my finger on it...

WOW posted about 10:49 AM and no reply? Where are you gurls?

In essence, a woman always deserves the right to be called beautiful. Any objection? Then, let me ask you to look back and remember you own mother! :)

As for the OP's view and I quote:

A Filipina cultured heart is not acquired overnight. It is hardly earned, laboured and toiled by time. In a society where the obedient and submissive mother is the center of evolution and the father as the figure head, the children will grow up with a higher level of respect to the male sex. In so many ways, there is a truth to the statement that we Filipinos pampered so much our male populace. Even in modern household these days where the woman might be earning the same, almost the same or higher than the husband, when it comes to family works and taking care of everything, still, it is the wife's role.

If then and when a Filipina will happen to meet a foreigner or even anyone whom she feels she is in love with and could give her all the comfort that life has to offer, unconditional love, faithfulness, and ALL are just but natural. I am not saying, the love is levelled by the COMFORT that one can give, it is just a PLUS FACTOR for after all, most Filipinas can love someone for nothing if she had to and if she feels it in her heart.

If in times you doubt about it, just look back with her and look at how her Mom/Nanay/Mama adores her husband and how she as a daughter respect and look up to her Dad/Tatay/Papa and admire him for raising her the way she is!

That's all and I hope others will add :as-if:

:unsure: Bow! I don't often give much personal information to a Forum, that is made up of primarily Anonymous members. On this occasion I will, I Hope it can help you Understand a few things. Some years ago, I took on my lovely Wife with her Young daughter, This daughter has become more than just an off Spring to me, she is like my own. A situation that was made from day one. I promised nothing, I gave little, all I could offer was love and affection. I did not do as many Foreigners do, give lots of promises and throw money at the Liaison.

One day, the little lady and I went Shopping, Mama was at work. I felt honoured, that in this day and age, my now Wife, allowed me to take this 8 year old out for the day. While we were out, I asked, What would you like, She said in utter naivety. Daddy! (Nice thought) You told Mama that you would buy me a new Scout Uniform, (Most PI Girls are Scouts) I said yes, I said that to mama, Well, she said, can I have a real Uniform and not a Copy one. Off course, was my Answer. To this day, I have the respect and I think Admiration from this little lady. I keep my Word, I don't promise, if I do, then I keep that promise. BOW! these people have grown up with Litte or nothing, They (in the main) ask for nothing, all they can Give, to the right person is their Heart.

I once asked my wife, Why is this relationship getting so intense, She reminded me of something she said, when we first spoke of the Shopping trip, Like me, It is all in the name.

Her name is Corazon.

Bow! In any country, Ladies are Ladies, Big, Small, Young or Old. Treat them right, with Respect and Give the attention that they deserve and the Love from them will flow.

For me, Life is Complete.

Spoken like a true poet Jack P. Apart from the relationship with your wife, there will always be that special, special

relationship between father and daughter. Those innocent moments of your little girl taking her first steps walking

to finally leaving the family nest with her majestic wings of freedom, she will always be your little girl.

Corazon has the best of both worlds. A maturing young lady of western culture with affirmative attitude to protect

herself and more importantly, to be nurtured by a Filipina mother of graceful humbleness and strict dedication to

family values.

The Filipina -- humble beginnings but with the most courageous heart of gold.

Respectfully -- Jake

I would like to commend both Daisy and Jack for their wonderful insight into what is so rare in this world but seems to be quite the norm in the Philippines. Is it any wonder that so many of us have fallen in love with our wonderful Filipinas?

[bows00]

Nice. Really nice. All the replies explained what I already knew, but couldn't put into words. To tell you the truth, I still can't... but what I do know is my experience with a Filipina is integrated with her culture - with tight families and smiles all around - i'm just so much happier when I'm there and get to be a part of that.

I have to work Today but I will just take a little time here, to say something that I firmly believe in;

" HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS "

Anyone, Every one, Find that Heart & you will find your home.

Im busy but I ended up typing my thoughts.. Thanks for the Q I realized that I am a beautiful woman.. taking for granted. Nways.. what makes me beautiful is the thought that every successful man there is a woman behind. If your a woman thinking that you are much wiser than your man... good that you are wise.. but never step in to his ego. help him to succeed because that is our role in the society to bring balance to the relationship. Especially to the east meet west relationship....
