This is a wake-up call for us Filipinos especially about our corruption, government and how we take care of our natural resources. But we should also be proud of our culture and who we are as a country....if your husband can't say something nice...tell him to just shut up. Be proud girl.

I have an American bf but he loves the Philippines so much. He never heard him discriminate our country and the filipino people. I believe it all depends coz not all American are racist. No offense but is your husband educated? coz if he is I don't think he will discriminate our country that much knowing that he has a filipina wife.

If your husband doesn't show respect on us how much more when you lived in his own country ...tsk tsk tsk you better be careful coz you will be on your own.

hello everyone,

it's been a year i got married to a white guy,so far my life has changed,financially, and emotionally as a mother. I have a 6-month-old kid. we will be flying to my husband's place next month.

my agonies are:
as a foreigner,
1.my husband think our best tourism is the girls,and that's why he came here,then he met me
2.he doesn't want our kid to live here because streets are the playground of the children,basing to what he saw
3.our politicians are corrupt,he kept asking me where our 12% vat go
4. He laughs at small shanty houses in major roads,coz for him is terrible to see,
5. he never rides PAL,or sea ships of the philippines
6.that filipino vehicle drivers are boang,no clues and never give way to ambulance
7. hospitals are too far to be alive
8.that ambulance brings you dead on arrival
9. that majority of us lives in 2 dollars a day
10. that everybody wants to leave the country
11. that government agencies is money greedy,he can prove it,
12. that majority just eat rice and fish
13.that we fight with each other
14.that we do not produce anything,if we do,no quality
15.that we suppose to have a very beautiful place but the government is busy in corruption
16. homes here dont have grasses
17. and he wonders what country's future be
and more....all these are present in his mind,i cant change it,he shakes his head to my country
i cant take it anymore,its killing me,its hurting me,i have been defending my country eversince,i always give counter reasons to my husband,but it just makes him see me as no clue too!
now,im tired defending,in the end i realize my husband is true.im leaving philippines now,if i come back,that's becoz of my family.

you tell your hubby that this country has YOU as one of its citizens... if thats not enough reason to change his perspectives, leave him... he doesnt love you.

I don't think her "white guy" is an Australian. Otherwise, he wouldn't have yakked about Filipinos eating fishes. Remember, basic food of Australians are Fish & Chips.
