Hi, I'm a Filipina - would you like to meet me?

Of course you would... all Filipinas are sweet, sexy and submissive. They don't care how old you are or what you look like, in the eyes of a Filipina, all Westerners are handsome!

Filipinas dream of marrying a Westerner and want nothing more in life than to please their husband.

Of course your future Filipina wife will still be a virgin but don't worry, she’ll instinctively become a sex goddess as soon as you're married.

True?

Let's take a look at some popular Filipina facts and myths!

Filipinas are submissive

No, it's a myth...probably due to not understanding Filipina behaviour. In the West we've become accustomed to equality whilst Fiipinas on the other hand are more traditional and prefer 'standing behind' their husbands. Politeness and respect are deeply rooted in Filipino culture too. Filipinas are naturally 'sweet' and do tend to fawn over their husbands. Furthermore, a Filipina will never criticise or embarrass her husband in public and, however much he appears to be out of his mind, she will always be loyal and supportive.

Filipinas can speak English.

True! English is the second language in the Philippines and is taught at school. The ability to speak English is one of the main reasons Filipinas are more popular than their Chinese or Thai counterparts.

UK readers should note, Non Europeans applying for a settlement visa will be required to take a basic English language test - this rarely presents a problem for Filipinas.

Filipinas are well educated.

True! In the Philippines a good education is as important as eating properly. Filipinos study hard and take pride in accomplishment at a school; many go on to college and university.

Filipinas are religious.

True! The Philippines is the only Christian country in South East Asia. Most Filipinos are Catholics and the church plays a very big part in Philippines life.

Filipinas are superstitious.

True! A pregnant woman is not allowed to cut her hair; she will give birth to a bald baby. Taking a bath at night will cause anaemia or low blood pressure. There are many, many more.

Filipinas prefer older men

True! A Filipina expects to marry a man between 10 and 20 years her senior. Filipinas perceive older men to be more mature and less promiscuous.
