I would be outta there.

20 miles up the mountains on a jungle road and relying on a relative to give you a ride out of there?   I don't think so.

I'd be thinking you are already lined up to be married. You are the prize Kano so everyone will be there for a pound of flesh.

From my experience Filipinos think they are over the hill if not married by the age of 30 so for her to hook you this is a major event in the village. Tread carefully.

I wouldn't be giving her family any money the first time I met them. I recommend finding someone who has atleast some of their own money (25k+ per month).
We do buy her family some food to be fair but not much, probably about 3k pesos per month and that's only because her Mum has alzheimer's and both her younger brothers are at uni. Not once have any of her family asked me for money.
Not all women and their families are after your money.

Actually I meant, out of the relationship, when feasible.

She has her own business , whilst not being wealthy she's not broke either

I'll be sitting there beer in hand thinking this will be fun seeing how this will pan out, but just in case I've prepped the guns. 😉

That's what I did.  Approx 14km up mountain dirt/rock roads to get to her parents place. That was 6 years ago; if memory serves me correct, it was about 1 month after getting here. (we had been texting and video chats for 8 months before with no red flags) My intuition told me to trust.
