Of course, I married my Filipino wife because I love her. I felt that she would be a great and suitable partner in life. I also knew that she would be a good mother of my children.
From the first time we met, I have been attracted to her beauty, her thoughtfulness, her sweet smile. I have also admired her positive attitude towards life.
I think that my wife and I have similar vibrations, so to speak. And it seems that our likes and dislike jive. When we were discussing things, she expresses positive thoughts that make matters seem natural and light. - A friend from Melbourne, Australia married for 8 years to a Filipino from Mindanao
I thought he’s capable of raising and supporting a family. He’s handsome. Even before he courted me, I was already attracted to him. He’s nice, thoughtful, understanding, easy to talk to. He’s tolerant of my opinions. When we quarrel, we’d patch things up easily. He’s always on time , we enjoy each others company every time we’d go out for a date. He has a good sense of humor. I marry my mate because I love him.
He’s practical. He doesn't ’t pamper me with material things although I know he can afford to be lavish. That’s another thing I like with him. He USN’t showy. I didn’t hesitate to marry my mate because I could foresee a great life partnership with him. - m.p. of Calgary, Canada
I have observed that my Filipino mate is of the silent type, my type. And I thought that she would be a good wife. Beside, she is industrious. Our house is always in order, clean and beautiful. I admire her for that.
My mate grew up in the province and has imbibed timeless values from her parents. Unlike many “westernized” girls, she is not a happy-go-lucky. Seldom, if ever, does she go to parties. She’d rather stay at home. She doesn’t indulge in gossip. She doesn’t associate very much with people but she knows to deal with them.
Like anybody else, my Filipina wife isn’t perfect. But I married her because, first and foremost, I love her. If I didn’t love her, it would have been foolish to marry her. -- Victor of Los Angeles, California, USA
My Filipino husband is loving, understanding, and thoughtful. He is deeply religious, humane. He is an intelligent person. In fact it was intellectual attraction that made me gravitate to him. But surely, I would not have married him if I did not love him. --- BB , Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
Filipino Society
Filipino society is a family-centered society. As far as filal piety is concerned they never, never call their parents by their first name, as we sometimes hear children do in some western cultures. To call your father "Charlie" or "John" and your mother "Mary," or "Maxine" is not an expression of familial intimacy in the Philippine culture. Rather it is the lowest form of parental blasphemy!
Filipinos also have one of the most respectful media of human communication. Take note of the way they greet people at certain times of the day or night, for instance:
"Magandang umaga po" - "Good morning, sir/madam."
"Magandang tanghali po" - "Good noon, sir/madam."
"Magandang araw po," - "Good day, sir/madam."
"Magandang hapon po" - Good afternoon, sir/madam."
"Magandang gabi po" - Good evening, sir/madam."
Po, is employed in direct discourse to express respect. It is not used when talking to familiar friends or young people. And this doesn't have an exact equivalent word in English.
Filipinos express other forms of civility in various way. They have also other forms of civility express in various ways, For example:
“Salamat po” - “Thank you, sir/madam”
“Wala pong anuman” – “You are welcome, sir/madam”
“Tuloy po kayo” - “Please come in, sir/madam”
“Paalam na po” - “Goodbye, sir/madam”
To be respectful especially to elders is one of the many outstanding values a Filipinos always observed.
