I’ve been married to a Filipina for more than 3 months now; however, we dated for almost 2 years before marriage. She comes from Cebu, an island in the Philippines. I have not visited her home yet or have traveled to the Philippines with her, but I hope to learn either Tagalog or Besaya so I’ll know if she’s making fun of me in her language or not.
#1 They are extremely caring.
Filipinos are one of the nicest people I’ve known. If you’re dating or are married to a Filipina, you probably know by now that they are one of the most caring, affectionate, and loving people. My wife, then girlfriend, wrote me 22 love letters of why she loved me, which absolutely touched my heart because no one had done something like that for me. I was flattered and overwhelmed at that thought and gesture. They are one of the politest and most hospitable people you can meet. Filipinos have a big serving heart, and that is one of the things they love to do.
#2. They are community-oriented.
Filipinos in general are very family- and community-oriented. They strongly believe in the idea of community and have strong family ties. Get-togethers, potlucks, festivals, and birthdays are some of the reasons to celebrate big and have fun. I think Filipino food, although underrated, is delicious. The get-togethers are opportunities to celebrate big. One of the best things about the culture is the different festivals and events that bring people together.
#3 They are hardworking.
In my personal experience of working with them in my previous job, they’re one of the most hardworking people I’ve come across. Along with working hard, they’re one of the most fun people to work with, in my opinion. I’ve met many Filipino women in my previous job who were supporting their partners with their business ventures and career goals. Because life in the Philippines can sometimes be hard due to a lack of opportunities and resources, they’re taught very young in life to work hard and honestly.
#4 They have strong values.
Most Filipinos are raised with strong family values. In my observation, they share a close knitted relationship with their family and are extremely respectful to elders in the family.
#5 They are pretty.
Filipinas are one of the prettiest women. On a lighter note, which is why I ended up marrying a Filipino. I will admit that I’ve had an Asian fever since college, but without being biased, I have to say that many Filipino women naturally have aesthetic features.
