A Personal View Of The Good Things About Filipino Woman

[expatuk2014]

This topic might not be in the right place or will be considered relevant,

However , I want to say that regarding the often negative comments about Filipino woman 

that as in every country you will find good and bad !

This is my experience of knowing and falling in love with and eventually marrying a Filipino woman !

I had chatted with several woman online before meeting my now wife.

yes there were the ones that wanted to show you what you could have on webcam if you came to the Philippines to meet her ( then Oh please can you send money  for ?)

Then I found my princess ! we chatted online spoke on  yahoo etc etc. sent each other photos etc.

we married in 2002, yes she had a large family ! But her mother did her utmost to raise them properly even

after their father died at the age of 40yrs ! washing clothes, sewing clothes to make money to buy food.

they had no big house there home when they were young was a wooden hut !! until the oldest brother

left college and got a job.

My wife trained as a teacher fees paid by the eldest brother, other brothers, an accountant in saudi, another worked for the forestry dept, and her younger sister is now a college professor !

my wife worked for 35yrs at the Dept of Agrarian Reform, and she built and paid for what is now the family home and took early retirement when she married me. and  later built her own home.

 

we had 9yrs in the UK together and she got a job in the NHS as a receptionist.

now then even though she herself was working Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, she would get up at 4am and prepare my clothes and my breakfast,wake me up at 5am, and I would leave home at 6am !

now can you imagine this ? its freezing outside my works van was covered in ice ! she would stand in front of the van throwing water onto the screen so it would defrost quicker !! ( her idea not mine ) and I was inside the van warming the inside up !!

and even now before we go out shopping etc she lays my clothes out on the bed ready for me while I am taking a shower !! and she will make sure my hair is ok as well !! ( its the wifes duty to make sure I am looked after !! ( her words )..

 

we went shopping this morning and as we were walking out of the store we had to slow down !

because there was this elderly couple the husband could hardly walk and his wife was carrying the shopping as well as holding her husband up !!

Filipino woman ! mine is a princess ! she will go to charity shops to buy clothes for everyday use ,( her excuse she has never been rich , and now she does not have to worry about money she is stiil the same woman !! ) she will haggle when she buys things even if its just one cake !

 

when she goes to the fresh market early in the morning ( I am still asleep ) she always buys me 2 doughnuts !

that says it all for me !!

[stevewool]

Can i ask was you looking for a Filipino to spend the rest of your life with

[Hey Steve]

Wonderful share-wonderful picture in the other "Older Filipinas" post as well. One thing for sure, it seems to me, the vast majority of Filipinas are truly loving, devoted, and so caring-as their culture raised them this way. There are some exceptions, yes, but I know so many men that have similar stories in their life.

I married a younger one. Been fairly happy over a 5 year period. We will have our differences of course, but Iwon't trade her.

I love the company of older more mature Filipina's even close to my old age. Recently the owner/manager of a café I visit now and then. She's 67, but very alert and very easy to talk to.

When I'm Head Nurse and manager in Saudi, I got the best results from the older Filipina's again. More mature,more patient. Better educated because they came up when HS was 6 years and they graduated at 22-23, unlike thecurrent crop who can get a degree at 20.

In addition to that I look for a girl or woman raised in a household where the mother and father have both been present through their early years. It's not so common now, but I still feel it makes a difference.

 Having a wife that works full time and over many days, I am astounded at the Energy she applies to the House when she gets home. 

 I know I am not the easiest person to live with, OH! I do my Bit but  with out the help (She is off Sick) there are no real moans about things, she looks on it as back to basics and Basics she learned from her Mama.

 I have friends that are married to Ladies where a crisis Unfolds each day the help is not around.

I KNOW! I am blessed.

I am in this category and have a partner just as good as the one rightly highly regarded by the OP.  We can all set out our onw problems with Asian (and indeed Western) women but it is much nicer when many of our members including myself have experienced the love and care of a decent Filipino woman.
