THE PEACE BETWEEN MEN 
AND WOMEN IN THE PHILIPPINES

Everyone deserves to improve their quality of life no matter where they're from. So what if the Filipina wants to get out of the shit hole she's living in? Everyone deserves to improve their quality of life no matter where they're from. So what if she prefers to sleep in a soft bed, wake up to a hot shower, have an ice-cold glass of fresh squeezed orange juice and oven toasted croissant. Everyone deserves to improve their quality of life no matter where they're from. Is it so wrong to seek out a more luxurious and exciting lifestyle than to rot in the heat with all the rats and cockroaches that share her bug infested house and god forsaken country? Everyone deserves to improve their quality of life no matter where they're from. 

Maybe her motivations are not so pure. Maybe deep down she wants the big pie in the sky. So what? We're all after the big bucks - who doesn't want to win the lottery? 1 do. So do you. Everyone deserves to improve their quality of life no matter where they're from. That includes the Filipina woman.
I know a guy by the name of Danny Albert who has lived in the Philippines for over eight years. He's married to a Filipina and has two children by her. I asked him to give me his opinion on why he thought the Filipino people are so friendly. This is what he told me:
"The Filipino people are very friendly [especially the women], probably because of their heavy European [Spanish] background. From childhood they are thought to RESPECT the elderly, especially if she is your own sibling."

"When two young people meet, they ask each others age in order to know who respects who. Of course, that means that ALL the kids automatically will respect their parents [over 95%]. Also, the kids are obligated [especially the girls] to help their parents out. That's why there is no nursing homes in the Philippines [even though it is a very poor country, with 60% of the people are below poverty level].
The Filipino women are FEMININE, unlike the American women. They are not liberated as the American women. That's what sets them aside and makes them special. You can get away with anything with these women except fooling around behind their backs.
