Married Filipino Women And Foreign Marriages

By Jean Luc Picard

As you all know, a lot of Filipino women or "Pinay" has been flocking to internet cafes in order to search for a foreign husband. Although there are those who are truly looking for true love online, there are only those whose main purpose is to marry for reasons of money. That is why some of these women resort to any kind of scheme in order that they could marry foreigners.

I believe there is nothing wrong if you desire that the person you marry is financially stable. In fact, it is considered a good decision to marry somebody who is financially stable even if not necessarily well off.

I am not saying that marrying foreigners is wrong. In fact I know several people, among them friends and family members who are happily married to foreigners.

Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against Filipino women who marry rich foreigners, for as long as they marry because they truly love their foreign spouse.

What I am against is marrying foreigners for money or in the hope that your foreign spouse could somehow help you save your family from the clutches of poverty and whiz you away into some foreign country which you consider as a land flowing with milk and honey.

It may be unthinkable but some Filipino women really do this. In fact I would go the extent of calling them as having "prostituted" themselves just to attain a much more higher standing in life. These type of women do not even care if the guy they are marrying is old enough to be their grandfathers.

A rather disturbing situation is that some married Filipino women are presenting themselves as single online. I have heard of horror stories wherein marriages has been broken because the wife has a "foreign" boyfriend while living with her husband.

What could be more scandalous than that situation. But brace yourself for the ultimate scandal, the ultimate scandal is that some Filipino husbands just tolerate what their wives are doing for as long as the money keeps on coming. The husband simply presents himself as a relative when the foreigner comes to the Philippines.

Shame on the Filipino women who are doing this, More shame to the husband who consents to his wife's illegal deeds. A more scandalous circumstance is that we are not doing something about it as a people. This indeed is what we would call as the "Pinay Scandal.
