Single teenage mums, a tale of poverty and illegal sex

Was not meant to be read that way, its the culture of Filipina's to appreciate when helped by a good person and someone that loves them. Its almost as if they feel they can not repay such a debt within a life time.

Women here are very different than western women in respect to a man they tend to go over the top and will not let a man lift a finger, I find it rather annoying sometimes as my partner (not an ex-single parent or from the sex trap) will take over the broom if I start sweeping the floor. I can even wash a cup without being invaded by a female that thinks she can do it better. Yet they want and do get an equal say within a relationship its just there is womens work and mens work.

But when a good woman is taken out of poverty and really cared for and treasured she will alway try to pay back twice as love as she receives its their way. Its nothing to do with slavery its to do with culture. Its took me a long time to persuad my partner that I can do housework as well as some other jobs looked at as being womans work. The fact is the women here want to be the mans slave as such they run the finacial affares and the house completly, culture says its their job.  

Many men from the west actually come to the Philippines due to the fact the women here make good house wives and yes just like slaves due to their culture. I myself get annoyed if Ann acts like a slave, she had to meet with my culture and I with her's. I had to get a maid to stop her washing clothes by hand (they don't trust washing machines), my escuse was I needed someone to look after the dog and animals whilst we are away. lol

A man that marries a Filipina normally has a good deal I prefer the love and care I get from Ann much more than I had from an English partner. However I have to pay much more attention as she wants me to share all my interests and me to be involved in her interests as well. She is learning music and to play the Piano so I have to learn while she's learning as well, lol  I paint and so does she. She make jewelery and I have learned how to as well, so on and so on. Fiipina's are wonderful women and to my mind there can be no doubt of that. 

Thankfully there is that other side and there are many more girls that do hold on to their virtue even some that live in the worst poverty. Some work hard and achieve a good education or at least graduate from high school. All paid out of their own hard work and to me thats a very high achievement. Ann my partner done just that of which I am so proud of her for, I look for her and not via verse and she was very iffy about foreigner's but I won her over. The problem is that many Filipino's think she is a slut because her partner is a foriegner until of course they know the real me and the real Ann.

The government is corrupt and of course as the system is run by cash the more cash and the better the political post achieved. That of course if ones good at fooling people to vote for one. 

I can understand the attitude of many young guys here when it comes to foriegners as its the very beautiful silly stupid girls that spread their legs for the big bank account and cars. But in fact most of these girls get hitched with a guy on foriegn social security (paid by his country men public purse). A thousand US dollars per month goes a long way down here and most of these guys are drunks, old and dirty minded beasts that could not get to second base with a girl in their own country.

Yep disapointment I can understand and I feel sorry for the hard working educated guys that only have a 50% chance of achieving good employment in the home land and those that have to leave land and country to earn acceptable salaries.

But chivary is importantant as the built in morality given by good caring parents within the Filipino society where families have attempted to improve the lifes of their off spring. However a man can not be a saint and can only try, we make mistakes when we are young but when we grow older have a family we should never wish our own daughters to follow the wrong path and mess up their lifes. 

I come from a different country where culture is different but when it comes to money and very pretty girls many follow the wrong path but its ony a pecentage of the problem seen here and if a girl is made pregnant and has no husband she is looked after by the state thus not falsed into prostitution to feed her self and her child. 

Thankfully most girls here are not sluts and they are the ones that one should marry.

Thank you 158, its also a sad story

The food is amazing and it gets on to my table each and every day. I hardly ever eat european cooking now days and I only crave for Fish and Chips and love eating in the Kiwi Lodge in Cebu City when I visit about 3 or 4 times a year. Their Fish and Chips are spot on.

I have seen some of the missionary work here and can confirm it does make a difference to peoples lives especial those that send surgeons to operate on cleft lips and other deformities. Allowing children to have a more beautiful smile.

I would pray with you but I am an atheist, but I can cross my fingers. If you think prayer works please pray hard as there is an election next year. 

Yep that's spot on good comparison
