This topic is of great interest to me.  Being born in the PI and raised there until I was 12, allowed to run with a gang of kids my age, I had no idea I was 1)  "white" or 2) a "foreigner".  Of course I was white but I was not a foreigner.  However, being born and raised in the PI has left a legacy.

 

My amah, a most wonderful woman who may have saved my misbehaving life, did teach me many aspects about being female.  My mom was really busy playing bridge at the ArmyNavy Club in Manila at this point, so my Amah, Josephina, "mom-ed' me. I am so grateful. She taught me how to walk, how to listen, how to hear, how be in the present. She was Buddhist and formed me as from raw clay. She taught me tolerance (I think the gang of kids of all races did that, too) and she taught me to appreciate each and every day. 

 

Over the whole of my life I have been "different".  Now finding an equally different love is proving to be difficult because of my compliant attitude. Compliant doesn't mean subservient and that is what many men marrying Asians want. Compliant means listening, hearing and making the necessary adjustments to 'make it work'.  It may mean disagreeing.  That would be normal in the course of human events. 

 

So, I am grateful for my being a "white" Filipina.  It has enabled me to be a conflict mediator, to do really fine nursing of very damaged people, adults and children, to be a wonderful veterinarian (so I was told) and a poet.   

 

I hope there are many men who adore their Filipina wives.  Foreigners just need to be educated by men like you who post,

Great post. In often ask my significant other two questions, 1) did you hear/ would you repeat what I just said; and 2) will you please tell me what is wrong because I have no chance at all of helping with anything until I know what it is. Question 2 often seems to be something that turns out to be a non-issue but which I went through two days of moping before I explained again that communication is mandatory because I can find people who won't talk to me anywhere. :hystery:
