Asking the foreigner to pay is the easy and lazy way out. The foreigner is unlikely to get any sort of gratitude out of picking up the bill. In fact, he will open himself up to future requests for cash once other Flips get word that he is a soft target. Mongers just need to harden the fuck up! If it is not a wife or biological offspring, then there is no obligation to pick up the bill. Once the foreigner opens his eyes and realizes that Flips will not pick up the bill for him, saying no to their desperate pleas for cash is very easy.
Furthermore, if the foreigner is supporting the girl in the relationship that is already enough, especially if she is getting a college education out of it. When she graduates, she can work and give as much of her salary as she wants to her family. Setting oneself up, as a ready source of cash for Flips in crisis is a bad idea, as it can lead to unintended consequences for the foreigner. The heroes who just cannot resist reaching into their pockets to save them will disagree. Just remember marrying a Filipina does not make you part of her family. You are still a foreigner and a walking ATM in their eyes. Any doubts, just read my post on the Aussie widower who repatriated the corpse of his Filipina wife, gave her family money, and tried to build a house to live near to them. He was forced to skedaddle in a hurry to sound of gunfire after his brother-in-law fleeced him for all he was worth.

My daughter just had twins out of wedlock. I pleaded with her to not have the kids although I love them so much. But I understood the shit that lied ahead. So she had fair warning but made HER decision. 5 months later when she is going through all kind of shit with the guy she asked me for $150 to register my grandkids in school. Sure. No problem. But do understand that is your Mother's Day gift. She understood and said there are sacrifices when you must make when you are a parent. I am a firm believer in if you make your bed you are the one that has to lie in it. You can not expect others to foot the bill for the things that you are going through in life and the choices that you make.
Sure I will give my kid random money every now and then, but that is only when I feel like it. You know the reason why I only had 1 kid? Because I didn't want to take care of any more! So I will be damned if I am taking care of my wife's or girlfriend's family or family's problems. I told my daughter that the best day of my life was the day she was born, and the second best day was the day she turned 18 and the final payment was taken out of my check.

Guys talk about going into relationships with a clear stipulation that they will not pay ANYTHING towards the girl's family, no matter what happens, and then the whole plan crashes and burns with the following scenario (true story).
The girl's sister (with 3 kids all aged 7 or under), is found to have a serious myoma and undergoes an operation. Recovers successfully, and is ready to go home. Hospital / Surgeon bill comes to 48,000 php. Local pollitician stumps up 10,000 php; family and friends scrounge another 10,000 php from various sources leaving 28,000 shortfall. The sister cannot leave the hospital until bill is paid.
Please dear rich brother-in-law, can you provide 28,000 php so the sister can return home to her small brood?
What do you do? The family has never asked for anything prior to this event.
This scenario, as I said earlier, is a true story. The take-away is that once you get serious about a woman then you have to factor in all sorts of things occurring in the extended family, even if they are hard-working, loyal people with no history of free-loading at all.

If you think you should have to support someone's family because you married them then you are crazy. If they want their family supported then they get a job, take care of the responibilities in your household however you decide to divvy them up, then they are free to send whatever they want to their family. There are no free rides. And whoever is giving out free rides is a damn fool (unless they are giving the free ride to me.) I would not work my ass off to take care of someone else's freeloading family.

Posts: 217I agree with Tagalog2016. You need to go in with your eyes open and understand the environment.
I have been visiting since 1976. The only thing that has changed since then is some paved roads and the currency exchange rate.
When I was a young sailor in Olongapo I had no idea what was going on so I made all the usual mistakes to include a one year failed marriage to a "regular girl". Like they say, "you can take the girl out of the PI, but you can't take the PI out of the girl".
I go now to have fun, stay in a nice hotel, BS with the girls, have a few "dates" and say good-bye. If I was looking for a "relationship" it would need to be with someone on equal economic terms, otherwise, as was noted below, it would be all about the money.
My next trip will be a "Date in Asia" trip, as the bar girl scene in Angeles seems to have gone downhill based on what I have been reading in this forum.

To me the first message is simply to say I'm here, are you interested in starting the chat? I don't bother customizing it for each lady, unless there is something that stands out in her profile. I use a slightly different one for Tinder since she has already right swiped me and I assume that she wants the conservation. It's on a different QuickTextPaste hot key combination.

What I find interesting is that the support for what they did fell strictly along party lines.
Clinton was defended by the Dems and vilified by the GOP for lying about a BJ in the Oval Office.
Trump was defended by the GOP and vilified by the Dems for his sexual behaviors.
