In regards to this colorful thread and posts :
What is with the double standard ? It seems to me that alot of people put a negative connotation in being Filipina and marrying someone who is non-Filipino.
This is ridiculous. Not all Filipinas who marry foreigners do so to get away from the Philippines and to use the foreigner husband.
My aunt, who is a graduate of Southwestern University in Bachelor's in Nursing, came to America in the 1980s as a nurse (now she's a Trauma Nurse in Atlantic City as well as a School Nurse on the side) married my uncle Steve, who is not Filipino but an Irish-American. Both of them are nurses, and both of them met each other in the hospital. Both of them working, honest, hard working professionals.
There are THOUSANDS of Filipinas here in the United States who are educated professionals and marry foreigners because of similarities to one another.
Just because a Filipina comes back to the Philippines with her non-Filipino husband doesn't mean she married him for money. It could just mean that two people looked past their ethnic differences and fell in love with one another.
I know alot of Filipino guys who dated, and then married non-Filipinas. But no one seems to put so much emphasis on the pinoys marrying non-pinays.
Seriously. enough with this double standard. And even if some Filipinas marry foreigners to get out of the Philippines, its really none of our business. Diba?
Just my two cents.
