There are thousands of Filipina wives around the globe with happy foreign husbands. They may have met their hubbies online or in the country where they live and work. It is not surprising for foreign men to have Filipino women as wives, because the beauty of the Filipina has long attracted men from all over the world for decades. This is evident with all the half Filipino, half whatever foreign ethnicity all over the world today.
You can find half Filipino and mix of Japanese, Italians, Americans, Germans, Arabian, and a whole lot more. Most of these people are even famous for the sport or profession they are in. They are even proud to tell the world of their Filipino roots. Thanks to their Filipino parent that continually influenced them about their ancestry that they have grown to be the person they are today without being ashamed of their origin.
While a great number of Filipina wives have successful marriages, there are an unlucky few that have ended up in divorce or tragedy.
There was news of these women being brutally murdered or beaten because of their foreign husbands. It was really controversial cases especially when it was found out that they connected through internet dating sites. A system of mail order brides always has risks. The person that you may know online may not be the person they actually are when you get to meet and live with them for a while. The ideal dream life that Filipinas always wanted can turn to a nightmare in just a matter of days.
These unlucky women are threatened with deportation in case they try to get out of that certain situation. Most of the time while in a foreign country they are illegally confined within the quarters of that person's home. Treated inhumanly for so long can make a person's mind turn on them. Without all money or friends to help they find themselves in the losing end of the struggle. Sometimes it gives them only a few options left which are not at all pretty. The Philippine government has exercised necessary precautions to avoid these kinds of tragedies through the implementation of Republic Act No. 6955. The law dictates that an act to declare unlawful the practice of matching Filipino women for marriage to foreign nationals on a mail order basis and other similar practices.
Still there are estimates of a quarter to half a million women who leave the country every year to be with their foreign husbands whom they met thru dating sites. This has alarmed the Philippine government in a certain level. But, with the economic and political instability of the Philippines more and more women are enticed into registering to online dating sites to be able to fulfill their dreams of living abroad.
There may be different reasons for a woman from the Philippines to engage with foreign men online, still there are quite a number of women who seek genuine relationships. On the part of the foreign men, they will be considered blessed to have these women for Filipina wives.
Meet Filipinas On Cherry Blossoms.
