Mr Lee Posted December 19, 2010 Posted December 19, 2010 I find it interesting that 400,000 Filipinos married foreign nationals in almost 12 years. I would have thought the numbers were much higher but I guess there must be a lot who are just living together in the Philippines and not officially married. I also find it interesting that less than one percent were in same sex marriages, when I thought that was not allowed in the PHL? :o I can only imagine how much money those 400,000 people provide for the economy of the Philippines and what the economy would be like had none of them every married foreigners. :( On the rise: Pinoy mail-order groomsGone are the days when only Filipino women signed up in the mail-order bride scheme to find a foreign husband. Now, even Filipino men are entering brokered marriages with foreign women.The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) yesterday reported that they have recently been receiving complaints from male victims of the mail order bride scheme.“We have been getting two to three of such cases a month and a majority of the complainants were women, but there were also male complainants from time to time,” CFO chief emigrant service officer Golda Myra Roma said in an interview.She explained that male victims of the mail order bride scheme will have a harder time pursuing a complaint in court in case of abuse by their spouses because the existing Anti Mail Order Bride Law only covers female victims. CFO data showed that some 400,000 Filipinos had married foreign nationals since 1989, most of them to Americans, Japanese and Australians. Ninety-four percent of Filipinos married to foreigners since then were female, while 5 percent were males. Less than one percent entered into same sex marriage.

Inspector Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Hahah!How about a western man comes to the Philippines, lives with his internet date and then realizes he can't stand channel 10 and the videoke love songs over and over....so he breaks up with her for watching this disturbing channel, wanting a channel 50, fox news anchor type woman instead. So, while living in the Philippines, the western man begins to chat on a date site and finds a woman...a filipina who lives .... in the United States? :dance:So, after a few online "dates"...he realizes that this beautiful filipna peach from Georgia was made for him, and he tells her to pack her bags and move to the beautiful Philippines ASAP! She agrees, because she loves his white skin, plumpness and the fact he is so mature that he could NEVER cheat on her, as well as the beauty of the Islands of the Philippines (she's into diving too you know). So, the day arrives....at the airport...the white foreigner goes there, and welcomes his catch from the United States, a petite brown filipina who hates singing, and they live happily forever and ever in the Philippines, watching Bill O'Reilly and diving. :541: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
