Michael, please take some of what you read here, above with a grain of salt, because there have been some trouble makers here, who are no longer here, who wrote some stuff just to be mean to filiipinas. 99.999999999999 percent of filipino people will not do you wrong. Mainly it is good to have an understanding with any person you become attached with, and know what they think and expect from you. Your filipina will protect you for her family/extended family, and she will help her family to understand your limitations, what you can do, will do, and what you can't do and won't do. Take it slow, use your head, and discuss these things with whomever you communicate with. The vast majority of fillipinas are not happy that a small percentage do these kinds of things, and they will do everything they can to avoid being that kind of person. So don't be alarmed by some of the things you read, and don't be afraid to get to know these people. They are the most wonderful people in the world.
