There are not much of Filipina girls in Indonesia. From 1,046 folks in 1998, it grew to more or less 4,800 Filipinos in 2001, according to the Philippine government statistics. This number may have ballooned over the past 9 years or so. This is because Indonesia can easily be accessed by Filipinos that would take about half a day's ride by a small motorized "banca" or small boat.
It would seem quite difficult for one to see the difference because of the similarities in physical features. Not to mention that a great portion of the Philippines population believes in Islam, and so does a major population in Indonesia. This would make Filipinos right at home if they are Muslims. Of course, the culture may be entirely different because of the background for one's country.
Would Filipina girls in Indonesia make them as a great wife material? This would depend on how grounded the Filipina you are dating is when it comes to the cultural background of the Philippines. Dating these ladies may be sort of an overload for a foreign man who is used to get acquainted with western women. Western women are too liberated and sometimes even make the first move. Filipino ladies are way too reserved for that sort of thing as long as she is grounded enough. The dating culture of a Filipina is to play hard-to-get. It would take days, weeks, or sometimes months just for her to give you her sweet "yes" to your advances.
If physical affection is not much of an issue for western women, it is a big deal for Filipinas. Public display of affection is a taboo for traditional Filipino women. With modern Filipinas, it does not bother them much as long as there is no malice that goes with it. Believe me, they can tell. Women born and raised in the Philippines can easily tell if a suitor's move is out of the ordinary. Being able to instinctively know is a gift.
Another culture for Filipinos is being family oriented. Being a close-knit family is not taught but learned through the years of growing and living with the family. A typical Filipino family may have at least 5 members.
More often than not, the parents or grandparents of either parent live with them as well. Sometime you can find three generation in one home or a whole clan in one compound. That is why most of the Philippine women are very good in taking care of children. There is the tendency that they may have been appointed to take care of their younger siblings or relatives during their free time. By the time they have children of their own they are very good in handling their own kids already.
As they grow and are seen to be able to understand and be capable, they are given chores around the house as part of their way to help the family as a whole. This again, becomes an advantage for them when they have a home and family of their own. It comes naturally to them to go about doing household chores. Most foreign men find this admirable because it gives them a sense of peace knowing that their Filipina wife knows what to do even when at home alone with their kids.
Other than making them sound like a domesticated housewife, Filipino women are essentially loving and caring wives. They can even be your best friend. Most are college degree holders and are quite intelligent. They are also very faithful and loyal because they value their family so much. With the no divorce law in the Philippines, it just does not become easy for them to separate. One thing that always keeps them going in keeping the family intact is their love for God. Being bounded by more than just mere rituals made by men, these Filipina girls in Indonesia also know that they are bound by God, which makes them very good wife material.
Meet Filipinas On Cherry Blossoms.
