Written by Brian Luce

Iâ€™ve never thought the word â€œExpatriateâ€ was a good word to describe an American living overseas. It sounds like â€œEx-patriotâ€, someone whoâ€™s lost his patriotism and has become unpatrioticâ€”and for an American living under the imperial presidency of GW Bush, thatâ€™s a frightening label.

Although I donâ€™t like the word, I do like what it impliesâ€”or use to imply at least. Expatriate suggests a Bohemian world of Hemingway and bullfighting or even an aristocratic villain from a 007 movie living in a far-flung mountaintop fortress in the Austrian Alps. Sadly the reality of Expat living is less glamorous. Generally, one doesnâ€™t meet many Bohemian Artists, Hemingways, or Bond Villains. The typical Expat profile is more likely to be a beer guzzling, self-indulgent, sun burnt lout. The drunken lout is the last stage of an unraveling process that results from too much free time, too much liquor, and not enough to do.

To be fair, as with any generalization, there are some wonderful exceptions to this trend. Individuals of remarkable accomplishment are among the dried dead leaves of the Expat community. Such individuals flourish and succeed in the warm and hospitable culture of Bohol. The balmy climate is a great incubator for ideas, goals, any type of creative plan.

Iâ€™ve found the best way to avoid the negative trappings of Expatriate living is to understand, accept, and hopefully embrace cultural differences rather than despise them. Growing up in Los Angeles, California I had a leg upâ€”as LA is the most culturally diverse places on the planet. In LA, intolerance is dangerous and can lead to AISS (Acute Ice pick in Skull Syndrome).

Expat communities often become insular. Frustrations over cultural differences are first shared, expanded, and reinforced. This is why Expats need to socialize with Filipinosâ€“Filipinos other than the compulsory stuff associated with their spousesâ€™ immediate family.

Fortunately, Bohol has numerous organizations with foreign and local membership. Such organizations are important in breaking down the walls Expats tend to build between themselves and their host country.

Its hard to live in ither countries because we need to integrate and its more hard if they're not english speaking country and they have as double as diificult language to learn.

But we, filipinos are a good host, we want everyone to feel at home

I'm proud to be a Filipino, and to be a Boholana

What amazes me is the people here gloat about how proud they are to be a native from here? but, they marry outside their race to get away from the place?

So they are not that proud after all?

Most marry for this one $$$$$ and are hoping for greener pastures from the other side of the fence with their new husband.

Most women who get married here to foreigners have a high rate of divorce after they have a new country citizenship and remarry again in the same country.

Allot of foreigner men come up to me and we laugh together as they tell me how unfaithful their being to their Philippine wives here.

The reason for it is because they are having a boring time here compared to the fast paced life back home.
The Philippine wife is fine with it for me "No Way"!
The foreign husband gets here and he pays for everyone in her family and it is not practiced in our place to get married and be the bread winner for Uncle Joe, Aunt sue, cousin Billy Bob, and the family pet pig.

I am telling you Philippine ladies if you want to lose your foreigner man just keep on washing his pocket book out supporting people he barely knows in your family.
It upsets them but they are too nice to say anything to you about it. So if your happy using a foreigner husband as an ATM machine then I guess it makes sense why you ladies allow these guys to be unfaithful towards you because you hold the legal banking card!

I also notice the Philippine woman married to a Westerner or other white foreigner man here is also changing her style of dress from conservative to non conservative?
She wears more richer threads then a Philippine woman married to her own native race.

I will not change for anyone I do not care what the style of the country is I will respect but not change it or myself
I would never marry to change my status in fact poor men have character and are rich in heart and rich men have everything and they never seem content!

Its true, I've seen and heard some doing that here too.. Married for citizenship and or for money,perio for me its not a wise decision... When marrying, marry for love, so the marriage will become worthful and wonderful to live everyday of our life..

When we married outside our race, it doesn't mean that we are not really proud sa atong country.. And not all married for money and new citizenship, we don't know kung unsa ang ila reason behind it all, its their choice.. We filipinos, or whatever race we have, anyone that comes from different country, wherever we go and no matter how long we live in other country and no matter how many citizenship we are holding and no matter how many passport we have, we are still we are.. Filipinos will be a filipino, no matter asa man kita mga padpad.. So dapat lang nga proud gihapon even wala naminyo sa kapwa pilipino.

Nakita ko Kailangan kita nga movie last night on a DVD, what caught me jud is what Aga says nga, american citizen lagi kuno siya pero dili jud kuno siya mamahimong americano... tinuod jud na!

Kikay ko sa una, kikay lang gihapon ko karon, my husband loves me with my big tummy and bilbil lol, dark skin and natural me, dili man gani ko kamao mang make up, no lipstick, manlipstick lang kung nay occasion nga sama sa kasal, but other than that, wala... I'm really staying for what I am.
And wala man sab kwarta ako bana nga ako ipadala or gamiton para sa amo, we work for it together..

Thats right ? kanya kanya kapalaran lang na. Kung happy kayo and not happy life must go on. At least you experience life outside and inside the country. When you are there try to live a happy life and when you are here , same kahit good or bad thats life....must go on. Pero siempre dito sa pinas.. pera ang kulang pero simple life lang, pag alang pera, magutang, pag alang bugas, mangayo sa mga relatives or friends. Pero ok pa rin. Magsipag at tiyaga kalang buhay ka. Hindi ko lang alam outside the country how life if you have no money since puede ka rin bang manghiram at manghingi sa mga kapitbahay mo siguro yon ang and difference doon no?
yon lang sa pinas hindi ka puede mg apply ng credit card pag hindi malaki sahod mo but in other countries madali ang credit card diyan. Anyway, GOD bless and goodluck mga taga abroad.

diri dili jud pwede mangutang ug mangayo sa silingan kay wala man gani mi kaila sa among silingan. Permi man serado amo pultahan, kay permi man sab serado ilaha, sak-on pa lang unya k******n kung ablihan nga wala ka kaila sa mga silingan. Kung wala intawon kwarta, adto mamaylo sa guinikanan, dili man pwede mangayo kay wala man daw free diri. Or kundili credit card lagi.

I think the generalisations stated in the OP don't hold any water - IF - you associate with the right kind of people. i.e. give no time to standbys and pick your friends accordingly. Even my hubag amigos have a decent work ethic. Therefore - nothing to complain about and no drain on the wallet

- less chance of becoming a cynical, cloistered expat.

I would never have known there are expats in this forum had the administrator or some moderators not identified them primarily because other native Boholano members were replying to posts in bilingual or in pure Boholano (as is the penchant of most Filipinos). Were it not for the language, I wouldn't care either.

I am sure it doesn't really matter whom were talking with--Boholanos and non-Boholanos alike are welcome to the discussion. Our thoughts and opinions--our inner selves--do not have skin color. Although some of the exchanges heat up to temperatures higher than Bohol's peak, I am glad that people have so far avoided bringing down such debates to facile generalizations bordering on racism. I am amazed by the absence of insularity among such island people. Kudos to Boholanos!

I therefore feel disconcerted by this post. This shouldn't really affect me because after all, I did not marry outside my race and my dreams are not $-denominated. Definitely, you're not talking about me. I wonder if the other TB members feel alluded to???

Still, I find the generalizations about the people of Bohol very simplistic, if not outright insulting. I am sure that in any society--even in those we call first-world like US, Japan or Europe, and not only in Bohol--you'll see nothing but dregs if you choose to settle there. While your awareness of the social condition of Bohol is admirable, I believe you should balance it with exposure to the less degenerate circles.

I really wish for you to have a happy life in Bohol, so move on to better company. Cheers and God bless you!

True of countries that have had empires, but there are examples of others. Singapore (through trade), Ireland (triggered by EU charity, but now doing fine in its own right), Iceland (natural resources), Thailand's not so bad (you know more about that than me) - many that have found ways other than subjugating their fellow man.

Maybe instead of trumpeting to the world, "I am an American", or "I am a Filipino", creating separation. We should recognise the sameness.

Totally agree. Nationalism brings with it a huge amount of problems. Not just saying that because I'm a foreigner - and afraid to be lynched by the Philippine equivalent to the KKK, if that ever would exist.
Theory:
In future nations will be effectively replaced by cultural blocs. You can see that happening already with the European Union, for example. They're a liberal version of the Holy Roman Empire of medieval times. They won't let Turkey join despite being in Europe geographically because of strong cultural differences.
Who would the Phillipines join with? Perhaps Japan is the closest match in this region - though still a world apart in comparison to, say, france and germany.

Ben, thousands of Filipino women were raped by Japanese soldiers and thousands of Filipino babies during World War II were murdered by Japanese soldiers for fun.

Philippines may join with South Korea or Thailand or Singapore.

I'm aware of that, but look at how the Germanic nations acted in WW2 - and they're now friends with their one-time enemies. Took a while - you can't damn a people permanently because of their ancestors' misdeeds.
Strange thing about ASEAN is that the cultures within it are so diverse. How can there be true union?

I may not be married but I think, I have the right to say a word in behalf of the Philippine women being criticized for marrying the outside race for the reason of $$$.

That's not what I observed with my Filipina friends with their non-Filipino husbands. If they allow their money to be spend in feeding their wives' family, it's mainly because they understand how hard life is in the Phils. I don't think, the wives just get the money without their husbands permission. And as I have observed, most of the Filipinas here are working like dogs to support their families in the Phils. They still have prides, even if there husbands insist on helping.

Your above-quoted statements Miss PreciousNpolite makes your personality "WORTHLESS". It is not Ladylike!!!. Who are you by the way, to make such judgement and you generalized all Filipinas in such a way? It is not your business to give some comments to persons whom you don't really know why their marriage ended to divorce. I doubt, you are not aware to the fact that numbers of those criticized women are really working hard to support their Families left behind not getting any single cent from their so-called $$$$ allien men. It is all rubish. Expressing many words of attacks might only come from a loser expats. So what if a woman after divorced get married 10 times? She has the right to do what she wants of her life....it is her freedom! To intervene any lifes decision is a violation of humans dignity and rights.
Personally, I am not mortally offended but I am voicing out to those speechless and not guilty and subjected to condemnation - POOR HOT OF $$$$$$$$$$$ LADIES!

HOW YOU REALLY ARE DO NOT DO IT FOR OTHERS DO IT FOR YOURSELF PEOPLE!)

it's unfair to generalize everyone. having a westerner doesnt mean you love less your country or doesnt at all. can you teach your heart who to love? after all we are one family in this world. its not about race, color or whatever you call, it's about being with someone who you trully care and vice versa. if one chooses to go behind the backs of their westerner partners or dig drain their pockets, it's their making not ours. and excuse me, we are working our *** out too for our family.

if the change is for the better, why stop them? if those girls feel good about the change, why not? dont we deserve something good? a little bit of spa and nice dress? arent you happy those girls look lovely than before? if its something good for yourself and your partner is happy about it, why not? some are just so hypocrite to accept that we all love a little bit of treatment and pampering. whilst, if you dont need the change, why change too? afterall Filipinas are lovely inside and out.

and hello... westerners should have known the fact that Filipinos are family oriented and even if you marry a Filipino you still would help out your family in need, its not an obligation but an act of kindness and gratitude. makaako kag tan aw sa imong family nga nanginahanglan samtang ikaw nagpakabusog. a little help wouldnt hurt and the blessings will come back to you many folds. that's the sentiment of a true filipino. ayaw lang sad abusohi ang kaayo sa uban, dont ever bite the hands that feed you.

ayaw sad pagpakaaron ingnon kunohay nga di na molingi sa imong pamilya kumo nakabana og foreigner...kana maoy hypocrite!

Btw, last i hear, Russian women are being sold as sex slaves and going abroad to marry foreign men as well. Same for vietnamese, thai, ukrainian, etc.

Some just want a man for his dough - but in fairness, there was the same thing back home. Often the first questions a girl would ask me upon meeting would be either 'what car do you drive', 'where do you live', 'do you have your own place' or 'what do you do'. Economic profiling.

The stereotype of the interracial pinay-foreigner relationshop is very annoying if you happen to be part of such a couple. I guess that's why so many heated replies!

Mr Ben, I guess it's because some people are either racists or purists...

Some groups think interracial marriages are taboo...

Even here in the States, you would think it would be acceptable, after all, this country is a melting pot of so many cultures. But many people still frown upon a black-white partnership. I've a friend who dated a black guy, and her family and friends called her a wigger (white nigger)...extremely hurtful and prejudiced.

People will think what they think, we can't control them. I can't help but feel though, that they should just mind their own business.

Still, I find the generalizations about the people of Bohol very simplistic, if not [size=12ptoutright insulting[/size]. I am sure that in any society--even in those we call first-world like US, Japan or Europe, and not only in Bohol--you'll see nothing but dregs if you choose to settle there. While your awareness of the social condition of Bohol is admirable, I believe you should balance it with exposure to the less degenerate circles.

I really wish for you to have a happy life in Bohol, so move on to better company. Cheers and God bless you!

Hi, musta na Sir Bene! So that is you in the picture na!!! Not as cute as the son, but still guapo!

I also found her post(s) insulting. She had been hurling all those insults even in previous topics. She claims that her purpose is to wake people up into action? Hahahaha! But I would not bother sending her a direct rebuttal. For one whose first language is supposedly English (forgive me if I am mistaken), she has a very serious reading comprehension problem.

Economic profiling? i guess it holds through anywhere mr Ben. I guess sometimes when run out of things to say that we ask questions which may sound so. As for me, i always encounter people whos first question is 'what do you do for a living?' and they're not only Pinoys.

Everyone..HELLO! did you notice what PreciousNP...is doing? She's posting a message that she knows it's pretty bad. She took her chances...you know why?.....SHE'S JEALOUS! and if you try to think about it... "SHE'S THE EXACT PERSON ABOUT THE TOPIC EXPAT" and she knows it. She just turned the corner and talked about beautiful filipinas marrying foreigners.
Watch guys, she'll reply back. And when she does, it will not be too nice to read. If she won't, she'll think of another way to you get again next time. For me, i just have to sit back and relax makes myself feel better. I'll just check and read any updates here in TB once in awhile.

How about this for a question: how do mga lalaki here feel about mga foreigners marrying boholanas? Morag sa England - mga lalaki blanco sapot kay 'their' baji gusto mga lalaki itom? Siguro dili daghang foreigners anyway, so wai problema dako. Pero how do you feel about it? I wonder sometimes if I cause offence merely by my presence.

(am trying to write in Bisayan as much as possible... is it comprehensible?)

You attempt to write in Bisayan is kinda cute, Ben and yes, it's sabotable - I mean comprehensible!

First, I agree with you Ben that we now let bygones be bygones of the issues we had in this thread. No more toinking and all's been well now with Precious. In the future, there might be issues but we can handle much better after all the problems we have had here.

Now, your questions, I suppose only lalaki should answer your questions?

My views are rather mixed. I think that everyone has the right to marry whoever they want to, if there is an attraction--then by all means. To each his or her own. Diba?

Why spend time worrying about others. Worry about yourself first.

Korek ka dyan dong, to each his own.

And for ben, follow your heart to where it takes you, that's the mystery of love, because if mixed marriages had not happen, then the evolution of man shouldn't have existed. Pasyensya na sa inyong mga laki nga nabihag.

It's all about apples, oranges and bananas.

I am disappointed with all of this, preciousNpolite. What we do with our lives is our own prerogative. FYI ..the other side of the fence is NOT alway green and ATM sometimes comes with empty bank account.

So what! I like my Gucci ... my Burberry, ... Havainians and more, it's because we work hard for it and I deserved it. Oh, yeah I was legal way before I said "I do."

Just read on this thread....

For Preciousnepolite, I admired your being brutally frank / straightfordness but frowned on your one-sidedness and hypocrisy...the trend is not prevalent in the Philippines but all over the world... it is the same story but different manifestations...

It is our culture of a close knit family and not disintegration like in the west because of impersonalism. When you marry one... you cannot evade extended familities... when you support the whole clan it is your choice... it is not mandatory

But one thing for sure... the expats loved to be idolized... to be put in a pedestal... when you are whites, the natives feel you're special... and your way of returning is through your wallet... ang uban man gud hambogero sad.

And why complain??? It is a fact that some of those who married Filipinas are after of sincere domesticated service that they could find with their own race...seldom! and when you treat your wife to be that... how you manifest your thanks when you are priveleged? di ba sa kwarta? ug ngano nga magtihink man ka kon duna.

About the women having illicit affairs? these could be boiled down to some shortcomings , imperfections that came to marriage which are also happening not only in the Philippines.

There are a lot more....bisan tinood , one must speak the other truth and not for your the part that favors....

Sr. Ayag, EstÃ¡ con gracias y la admiraciÃ³n sinceras que saludo le. Sus observaciones al escritor original son perfectas y capturan la naturaleza ideal, altruista que fue pensada por sus observaciones originales. Me sentÃa personalmente atacado cuando ella dicha esto porque mi propia madre, un Boholana-expat nunca casÃ³ a extranjero para venir a los estados. En el contrario, ella, como muchas otras enfermeras de la filipina vino aquÃ para las visas mÃ©dicas; iguales para mi padre. El escritor original no tiene ninguna credibilidad para decir esto. Sus observaciones Ã¡spero me disgusto personalmente su audacitia y. Pero Ã©sa es mi opiniÃ³n personal. Gracias Sr. Ayag por sus pensamientos en la materia.

Le saludo,
Siempre

Hi Bran Lorenz,

Thank you for concurring my perception about what Precious was talking about ( though am not well-versed in Spanish ).

I like people who are candid about anything... but please present the two sides of the coin...

That's not for sure at all - many expats feel uncomfortable with the idolization/friendship based on perceived wealth; it's so obviously not genuine.

Mr. Ben,

The feeling is mutual... the less priveleged also felt uncomfortable mingling with the wealthy... but one must not complain that Filipinas marry for the Money for Expats marry Pinays for Service till death whom they could seldom find with their own color... when no money.... no honey. hehehe

Mo agree ko nimo, Mr. Jun Ayag. Filipinos, in general, tend to stay together and make the marriage work, even if there are marital and economic problems. Here in the United States, and I dare say this, marriages come and go. Couples marry and divorce as if it is a mere 'relationship'. I cannot help but observe the deterioration of the true meanings of marriage as a 'life-long' bond. Secularism has made that evident. I do not know if the modern day Filipino couples retain the old customs of the sanctity of marriage, but from seeing and knowing many neo-Filipino American couples, marriages work. They tend to be more serious.

I could never dream of marrying a non-Filipina, but that is my own personal view. So of course, I have a bias to begin with.

American women, for the most part, want to live the high life, Mr. Jun Ayag.
They want a big ring, drive their BMW Z5s/ Porsche Carreras'/ Mercedes S-Class, have the husband's credit card for their daily shopping and trips to the mall, have 2-3 kids, pick them up from soccer practice, get their pedicures/manicures/salon, live an easy--stress free life. Money is key. Many marry for money, many do marry for love etc. I have a friend who graduated medical school 2 years ago, is now a resident in Emergency Medicine, and this guy never dated outside his race before (he is Indian), now he's 28 y.o, and dating a girl who is 4 years younger than him and spends most of his money. I will not deny that she is extremely attractive. Blond, physically well-endowed, but sometimes I question her motives. Is it for love, or is it for Ranjit's wallet? All I know is that Ranjit's family is angry at him for not dating an Indian; or for his case, not proceeding with the arranged marriage his family had in place.

bol-anon_ko, the ladies have calmed down already

and we had let bygones be bygones, so to speak. We are now embracing Precious as a real family member of Tubag Bohol and I think she does too. We all learn and let go and move on. Yes, there were heated and hurting words said in all directions but the wounds healed already. The scars will not go away but that's ok because that would serve us as reminder to be mindful to the feelings of others.
