My wife is a Filipino registered nurse whom I met and married in the United States in 1975. This next May we will be married 50 years! You are exactly right in your observation of being married to a Filipina! They are very faithful! My marriage has been BLESSED for many years! I am truly GRATEFUL! We have two children married to excellent men and two grandchildren! We all are BLESSED with good health! Great life! THANK YOU LORD!
Thank you for sharing your story with us. I had a first cousin that married a Filipino and was married 45 years before he passed. He always told me it was the best thing that ever happened to him. I believed him. If you haven't subscribed please do because we want you to continue to share your journey with us.
Hello, host I Love your video thanks for sharing it wow!! And it's so true but anyway, it's nice to meet you I am watching from Greensboro North Carolina Your New Friend Peace
When I met the young Filipina in 1973 who was to eventually become Mrs. Rick, we were both overseas in a country foreign to us. There were no other Filipinos around to provide company and fellowship. Her family was 8,000 miles away, and there was no way I could get to know them. Remember, this was far before the instant communication that the internet now provides. We dated for five months and then got married. I had no opportunity to learn about the Filipino community, the culture, the food, or family relationships. I went into it totally blind, with the only Filipino I knew being the girl I was marrying. There were rough moments initially, and I had to learn the importance of rice at every meal to keep her somewhat happy. So far, we've made it through three kids, five grandkids, and five good decades. I anticipate at least some more years together.
What a great story. Yes rice x 3 a day haha. Glad you are with us Rick. Feel free any time to add to your story i know we will get inspiration from it.
I have lived in the Philippines for over 8 years and this month is our 5th anniversary. First rule. Never, Ever take your girl to your birth country. The failure rate is really high once the Westernized Filipinas tell her the score. Or rather how she can score. I keep the family at arms length. Limiting visits to once a month. She gets to see them during the week, when her work takes her there. Yes, work. She must have a job. A real job. I don't care what she does with her wages. Except that I encourage her setting aside funds for retirement, which I contribute a portion to. My economic interaction with the family is also limited. Nobody starves. Nobody dies. But I'm not giving any allowances to her or the family. Full stop. I hear the word "Kuripot"and I laugh. "Happy Wife, Happy Life" is nonsense. It is "Happy Husband, Suspicious Wife". The thought of being a doormat just to keep her around is anathema to me. Be a strong, proud Man and things will work out. Be a weak, downtrodden Man and you will be unhappy.
I have heard that many times. When we are in the Philippines we are the catch but when they come here they are the catch and many men will come after them. That is where the woman has to be very strong and remain loyal to her husband. Thank you for your comment.
I had missed a few comments so tonight i am catching up. I appreciate you taking the time to send a comment. especially thank you for being a part of our journey. Comment any time because we all learn from the comments.
Both sides need to get to know each other before you get married. The title seems negative for Filipinos . It isn't only the foreigners who will get to know Filipinas before getting married. It takes 2 to tango.
Solution: Make sure you have an outdoor kitchen (known as a dirty kitchen in the Philippines) so that she can cook all the smelly food outside. Add an exhaust fan to it so that foul odors can escape the home. Also help keep that dirty kitchen clean.
Hey johnny i know you are right . I plan to do just that. Thanks for the comment. Thanks for joining us. Feel free to add more comments any time, it helps everyone.
I am new to your channel, and I really like it!!! Hi there y’all, 😉😎👋🏼. Thank you for sharing a really great topic, and video. I can tell by your character & personality, that you’re a good man with a good heart, and in a happy, and loving relationship, with your Filipina wife. I am from California, and I dig your thick southern accent. Both of my daughters now live in New Braunfels, Texas. So, whenever I’m there for a visit, I get a kick out of hearing Texans speak with their thick accents. To me especially, nothing is cooler than hearing a “Mexican” speak with a Texas accent, lol!!! Once again, I like your cool accent, if I can ask, what part of the country are you from, brother, 😎😉🙏🏼?
Well you just made my day. I also have a son that lives in Dallas Texas. I have an accent? haha i think i will answer where i live by giving you a video to watch. It is one of the very different videos i have done. I also want to welcome you and tell you i am glad you are with us.
@@user-rs2uv7oq4f “I have an accent”, 🤣😂🤣😂??? OMG, I like your sense of humor, hahaha. Please forgive me, if asking where you’re from, was too personal, or wrong of a subscriber to ask, 🙏🏼😌. I know youTube is full of haters & trolls. Yes please, what is the title of that vlog, that gives us a hint as to where you’re from?
@@petepinal8415 If for some reason you dont get the video address just tell me. No it is totally fine you asked where i live but thought it would be more interesting if you saw the video.
@@user-rs2uv7oq4f Got it, thx E-Z. Wow, I was way off, hahaha. When you mentioned alien abductions, I thought of Arizona, that real life, true story movie, “FIRE IN THE SKY”, about the tree chopping crew, that witnessed their friend being abducted.
GOOD BEAUTIFUL PILIPINA IF YOU DO THAT TO STAY WITH YOUR HUSBAND, CONTINUE TO RESIDE WITH THEM AS WELL AS THESE WESTERN PEOPLE GIVE DUE TO YOUR OWN WIVES AND WATCH THEM TO GIVE HONOR.. LOVE WILL NEVER FAIL, NOT BECAUSE HE IS HANDSOME OR BEAUTIFUL WOMAN OR AGE IN ADVNCE PLS, CONTINUE TO RESIDE WITH YOUR HUSBAND AND YOU WILL FIND HAPINESS AND ENJOYABLE LIFE..
The thing about Karaoke is sometimes occurring late nights in the in the neighborhood possibly loudly !! And I was wondering if and wanted to see if you would bring up the Certificate of non-marriage ?? 🤔🤔 !!
I laugh when you mentioned Karaoke late at night. I stayed in 1 hotel it was every night till 4am in the morning. So you are so right. You mentioned Certificate of non-marriage. In one of my first videos i mentioned it. It is a sure way to make sure the one you are talking to is not married. I remember going to the Bureau of Statics to have it done before. I am glad you mentioned it because i think it needs to be brought up often where everyone will know there is a way to make sure they are not married. James thank you for this comment and i think it might be a good idea to do a video just talking about this. Thanks for joining us.
I do a pre-emptive strike I can feel when they're getting ready to ask for money and that's when I out of now or bring up the subject that my brother has cancer and I have to send money for him to have cancer treatments. Then I tell them I'm not telling you this so do you give me money I'm just letting you know my situation They've got nowhere to go with that because that's my family and if they talk about my family not being worthy then I talk about their family not being worthy
No doubt when you have been around asians for any length of time you do fee them getting ready to strike for money. They fall into patterns. I think you action is great. Thank you so much for sharing that idea with us. Glad to have you with us and keep commenting on your ideas.
You are so right. I had to get use to removing my shoes in the house . Glad you joined us. What subject would you like us to cover? Feel free to leave your comments any time. Many new travelers learn a lot for the channel so your comments always help. Thanks
Spot on with the little fish, except you downgraded the smell to a shoe when its waaay worse smell than that. You almost want to blow chunks over the smell of it. Rice is one of the leading causes of diabetes in Asia i try telling my family to slow down on the rice. Chocolates are a given every time you visit have chocolates lol
Actually some are highly educated and you do not have to always be paying out money, but i do understand how you feel. Once some have a real chance they do well. Thanks for your reply.
@@user-rs2uv7oq4f Yes I agree. but if this is the case, either your filipina wife's siblings or her parents then. Not to mention your monthly or annually remittance to them. I'm Filipino and I know how our [some] women behave like towards marrying foreigners particularly white males
MY EX was sending our money, but all I worked for to a young Filipino girlie, while our divorce wasn't even to court , 1 month after he met her in Phillipines
Just a little heads up this is 2024 The women of the Philippines are not the same as they were in 2020 and they're certainly not the way they were in 2016 or in 2010. The Philippine women today are not the same quality they're resembling American women more every day which is a terrible shame
I notice the same things. My first trip to the Philippines was in 2017 and i stayed for a few months. because of covid i was not able to return till 2022 and you are right a lot had changed. The most change i saw in the cities. Even changing i love it there so i will go back and like you i just wish it were the same. Glad you brought up that point. I think it would make a good video. Thank you for being a part of our journey and always know you have a place here with us.
O im a hero to my ex philipino wife.why because i gave in to almost everything and got here to canada and she got a great job to send more money to her family and abandon her son there at her mothers place and still there after 5 years now.she laft me a year after being with me in canada.red flags all over the place with her.
Let me start on a positive note. Thank you for being with us. I am sorry to hear what happened but i have a question. Were the red flags there in the start or did they develop after you got her to Canada? I respectfully ask where we can find out to help others. I have delt with thousands and thankfully i can say i have only heard it happen a few times. I knew one was a red flag from the start but the red flag was the man not the woman. I appreciate you sharing you story with us.
There is something morally wrong with older First World men exploiting younger, desperate to get ahead, Filipinas. Marriage should be based on more than just a pick up. Shame on you all!
hello. Thank you for your comment because i know it means something to you. But is it possible part of your conclusion might be wrong. I met my wife on line and we got to know each other over 3 years building a relationship. Now here is the part you might have wrong and even the topic of a video i will do soon. My age and my wife's age is very close. I also have many friends that their relationship / marriage is the same. If i had married here in the United States it would have been no different about the age so would my marriage here have been wrong? Secondly my wife did not need my income. She is educated and had a good income before i met her. Now i do agree a relationship should be based on something more than age. A good relationship is based on many things. Getting to know the person to make sure they are a good match.
Hey Matt i do appreciate your comment. Sadly if I only made 3 minute videos i would never monetize. Believe me some times i would not have to edit for hours and would be easier. Any way please understand and stay with us because your thoughts and ideas help. Hey what are some things you would like to hear about?
So if this was your video, here's what you would say: - Be warned, Filipinas like to eat a fish that stinks up the house when she's cooking them. (The above was delivered straight and to the point). ____________________ And then in this video there's his way: (Note: I remember all this after watching this video only once.*) - In Filipino culture a favorite food are these tiny silver-colored fish. Your Filipina GF or wife will love frying those up, and and often. - The problem with that for us Western men, when you walk into your house and smell a foul odor, the first thing you are gonna do is check the bottom of your shoes because you think you must have stepped on some [dog poop]. - Yes, the odor that fills your house when she's cooking those little fish, well, it has a stink that reminds me of smashed dog poop on the bottom of my shoe. - As the man of the house you could insist that your Filipina not eat those stinky little things, but that's not being fair to your Filipina and you are disrespecting her culture and traditions. - But there is a way to deal with it so that both you and your Filipina are happy, have her cook the fish outdoors. What a few friends and I did, we built an outdoor cement barbecue/oven structure. - End result: Your Filipina's culture is respected. She continues to enjoy a favorite meal. You are happy sitting on your favorite chair inside your odor free home. ____________________ *The reason I remembered all this, because of his excellent information delivery style.
Oh forgot to tell you. I have 2 more videos already set to post. I do 2 a week so those 2 have music but the next one on the 25th will be without music. Wanted you to know i am listening.
Well you sure got me laughing. Actually Luzon was where i first encountered people eating rice off a banana leaf with their fingers. It did not stop there soon i saw it more and more. I began to wonder don't people use silverware? But i do agree in the cities i saw it less, however in some homes even in the city i would see it. Thank you for your comment it really made my day. Glad to have you with us.

Those are people from Visayas and Mindanao not Filipinos from Luzon. Luzon, Philippines families use silverwares not by hands.
Well you sure got me laughing. Actually Luzon was where i first encountered people eating rice off a banana leaf with their fingers. It did not stop there soon i saw it more and more.
