A trial at a local court here that got little media attention appears certain to untangle a web of deception and betrayal involving a Filipina in a case that smacks of greed and murder.

Pals,
I believe that scams by filipinas are abundant today. Especially using the internet.I will Post my experiences when I return to the USA.
There still are many good women here. I am fortunate in this regard also.

[QUOTE=Bumbo]I been lurking on and off. I was seeking answers on this board about marrying fillipna woman, all I see it's leaning more towards to negetive than positive, about them scamming and ect. Now I'm getting second thoughts on this, .... .[/QUOTE]
As you're reading all this "advice", remember to compare sexworkers with sexworks anywhere, bar-girls with bar-girls, and non-sex-worker girls with ordinary girls. Remember that *any* girl wll grace your bed if she likes you enough to do so and you happen to trip over her at the right time, it's just a lot easier here in Phils than in NA. A like-for-like comparision still has Pinays well ahead in the ratings, pick your category, jjust make sure you _understand_ the category you pick and are confiidant that your girl is indeed who she says she is. (there's no requirement that girls always tell the truth, especially first time, di ba?).
In summation, would I pick a good Pinay over a (supposedly "good" NorthAmerican) woman?
Hell yah!!!!!!! Just have your act together when you do that. odds (yes *odds*) are that a good Pinay is more likely than any NA female. You still need to seleect the right one for you, eh?

Scams *are* abundant today, true!. The more literate the scammer, the more prolferant the scam.
When in countries where the "law" doesn't defacto auto-scam the man, yes, females have more incentive. As always, "buyer beware"! At least in Phils you get some value for your expenditure.
Consider it this way, long term, you spend $1M in North America, and you have _what_ at the end of it all? Bankrupcy and your broken heart? Contrast, you bring $100K to Phils, use your head, and you have .... ?
What's the worst? for $100K you have 10 years of great life with girls you couldn't even dream of back in NA, never mind the NA hassles.
What's the best? YOu have a *LIFE*, and you keep your other $900K in reserve if you have that much to start with if your NA "wife" didn't suck the rest of your life from you before you found a map.
Yeah, maybe you (like me) don't have $1million, but hey, do the math, you want a life or you want $900K of debts to pay until you die with NO love somewhere in NA with some deadbeat woman sucking the life out of you *by*law* there? Yeah, pick one, since you can't have both.
You do your proper research where you're sitting, and then when you already *know* where your'e going, you spend "what" (in comparison) is almost nothing, to find out where life is better?
Na, you all stay back in US & Canada & Europe. Don't come here to Phils! It's terrible here (write me if you want ot know all the bad stuff). Don't come here. Stay away. Better we have more good girls longing for us who are already here. Yes, stay away, please!!! The odds are already something like 3:1 (female-to-male) ; don't you mess that up, we like it this way!
[QUOTE=Bumbo]I ... and you get the white women way of thinking (Fem nazi)I will kick her out of my house and she understood loud and clear she told me she don't go for white women ways.[/QUOTE]
If you bring her to NA, don't be surprised if she strangely beocmes a "white woman".

We shall see on this LOL! I heard finance visa takes 6 months to get approved? So what is the actual time length for visa to get approved? I figure with the visa you have 90 days to get married so when she arrives we will live together for 2 months as a test drive if everything goes smoothly then I will marry her. I thank you for your input on this.[/QUOTE]
Visa "requirements" vary from country to country; I won't even think to start to guess wich is yours and what might apply. In general, what a given country's web site might tell you is just the official line - try to act it out and you might get a bit of a surprise.
LIve with her for as long as it takes in the Phils (my thinking is 5 years is a good benchmark), and *then* see what happens when you travel outside Phils. As another wise resident commented, if you want to abrogate that time, a pre-nuptual agreement would be very appropriate. What does your aswa-to-be say about that?
While I have yet to try to get "akin asawa" into the country I'm a citizen of, I really do expect the embassy to be less reluctanct to grant a visa to someone I've lived with 5 years solid than to someone I *might* want to marry 'maybe' 'if', etc. We'll see. Best of luck!
General advice, live with her (and her family) for a few years - see if she (and her familyl) is who you want to spend the rest of youf life with (and mutually support) - otherwise, why are you trying to get a visa for her?
[QUOTE=Cebu Local] ... [taken out-of-contex] That means loving to the point of self sacrifice but also that they are not as rational and logical as the western mind,If she wants to help her Family do not hold it against her,Many times Family contributes towards the cost of working abroad which is like 1 years income for the average Filipino in Placement fees,Ticket etc.She might be wanting to repay assistance given to her.Go ahead take a chance,Since she has certain plus factors Just remember Pre nuptial and Dont have her hold the finances until you have been together sometime.Processing for Fiance Visa is 6 months to one year Best regards[/QUOTE]
I just dropped akin bayou (Pinoy brother-in-law) off at NAIA (the airport) for his OFW contract. I hope to see him by Christmas again. As usual, we ran shotgun for each other while he's "home" - which this year meant he stayed with us (long story!) We had a very quick window of opportunity while he's at his girlfriend's house for a last minute quickie, and I had a chance on the way to deliver him to the airport to treat two other bayou to some "nice girls" for a fast convenient hour (yeah, me too, funny how someone I know just happened to be available). What did I spend for the 3 of us? Um, P2500 for the 3 of us, including gas, beer, tatlong quarto, tapos sempre yung babae, lahat. Ok, I didn't have quite enough with me, so I told the dude to collect the balance of 40pesos from whoever has it, walang problema. :) Of course this is out in Cavite, not metro Manila.
How do I know of this hidden place in Imus? Sempre, from my brother-in-law's brother-in-law. :-)
OO! Pinoy family is good! So I'm lucky with her family, or are they lucky with me? Whatever, it works! They bought food on the way home, since I was out of cash.
[QUOTE=Cebu Local]I do not have anything against Filipinas.I think they make great lovers girlfriends and wives for some people.But the very thraits that make them charming Sweet,Loving,Jealous and Highly emotional do not make them an ideal mate for me.Ask yourself how many BIG businesses in the Philippines are run by pure native Filipinos and How much is run by Spanish and Chinese and Chinese Mixed breedsThe answer is very very little.The tendency for the Filipina is to be more concerned about looking after family then turning a buck.Plus speaking Filipino allows me to understand their mentality which scares me more.So different strokes for different folks.I just cant see a nice sweet Filipina Girl helping run my businesses as my life partner.Sorry for those I offended and who PMed me[/QUOTE]
Yeah,tell me about it! Juggling personal relationship *and* being business partner with a Pinay isn't exactly all roses. Then again, it's nice to be able to tell her brothers that it's *her* business that's buying the night's beer tapos amin polutan. That of course also means that you'd better get laid "labas" kasi she's not interested by the time you get home after drinking outside.
[QUOTE=Cebu Local]I sent you a pm,But I wanted to clarify something Even though I have lived in the Philippines for the past 15 years,Speak Filipino Tagalog and Cebuano fluently at close to native level,I am NOT involved with a Pinay.I am involved with a Canadian educated Chinese from Shanghai.Pinays are too emotional,Have no concept of Financial planning and consider long range planning what to do tommorow.If you could speak Tagalog,You would really consider what they are thinking.I was listening to a conversation among 4 Burgos girls yesterday,How long after you get to America should you divorce the Stupid MATANDANG GURANG NA KANO,The consensus was after you get your green card then you can bring your boyfriend over.One was saying How SMART her cousin was for marrying and divorcing 3 times,Now she has US citizenship and 2 houses.Of course they had no idea I spoke Tagalog,Just another TANGA FORIEGNER at the table,Filipinas????Pass btw Matandang gurang na Kano is Stupid old goat American[/QUOTE]
That really does depend on the girl, eh? Though I've not been here quite as long as you, I've (over)heard many Taglog conversations between bar girls (and others), and yes, I know very well wereof you speak. Who knows, maybe if after all these years I take my wife to Canada that will be the end of it all, but if so, well, I can't kick about what she's given me in return thus far. Then again, the key, as everywhere, seems to be to ensure that one's "partner" knows the bread is best buttered together. Not easy, anywhere; thus one must chose wisely and deal with it every day. Ultimately its a personal relationship thing and yes, financial.

Ditto, my pleasure. Thanks for the feedback; I'm just waiting for one important piece of legal paperwork from "back there" to make them happier with my own status to ensure that's not any possible impediment. We're thinking of just trying for a simple "tourist visa", did your contact suggest anything better?

You're quite right. I have this nasty habit of trying to write tagalog the way I all to often improperly mis-accent it.

Wow! Wish they'd done that a few years ago, would have saved me a big bunch of money dealing with the previous requirement!
Is it just me. Becoming to jaded and such. Or does anyone elses seem to think they are all scamminig us to some point?
Dated a few. Banged a few. Written to many over the years. I think with the advent of the internet as opposed to the days of snail mail. Scammers are more prevalent? (in relation to girl friend/partner type girls)
It seems to me that technology has allowed the chicks who scam to flourish. Its just to easy.
In my humble opinion the chicks are less genuine. Than in years past. Maybe its just me being naieve. Or just fucking stupid?
But after visiting. Banging. Dating and romancing. As well as reading the other posts and adventures. I just do not feel the same easiness about things. Anyone else thinking the same?
Not so willing to take on one as a partner as years back (now in early 40's). Maybe common sense says. There are still lots of good looking white tail here that are ready and available to fuck. Plus the ones in my circle have jobs and cash (maybe mostly from x husbands). But who fucking cares.
Still like LBFM type chicks but. Really weary about paying for anyones shit past tonight.

Although I take my mongering serious, there is a limit to taking oneself and/or the mongering process serious.
There will always be scams differentiated by culture - eastern vs. western
Lighten up an enjoy.
