Hi everyone,

I met mahal ko in Cebu last february, and i was instantly captivated by her.
I am going back to Cebu, in a weeks time, as I don't seem able to NOT to phone her on her mobile
many times a day. My T-mobile bills lately have been astronomical, so I will be taking a small computer along, preloaded with all what she might need to be in touch 24/7.
We are planning to marry next february, and bureocracy permitting, she will be able to join me in the summer of 2007, Here in Wrexam, North Wales.
I would like to know, if anybody knows of local (to Wrexham) pinay groups here. So that she might make friends and socialize with them while i am away for work.
Thanks
Dom

Hi Dom and welcome to the forum,

Can't offer any advice at all about Wrexham, I'm afraid, but you've brought up a topic that I think is useful. I know there are many Philippine people here in the UK, but my impression is that the majority must be in London and the south-east? I'd like to find something similar in my region (Sheffield/South Yorks) to provide some relief for Mel, but Filipinos seem a bit thin on the ground here, even at Meadowhall, which I would have thought would be an irresistible magnet :)

Anyway, good luck with your plans. Hope you've spent time researching on the forum to prepare for the task ahead :)

Well Rob lives in West wales, and I live near Denbigh, and plenty of Filipino's around here.

Just enjoy yourself for now, we could all be nuked by Iran in 2007 style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yikes.gif

welcome - take a look at Pete&#39;s web site to become familiar with the bureaucracy requirements

Pete has taken a lot of time to compile this very useful information source - start now gathering your information for her visa

for your phone - set her up with broadband at home and then you can chat - message and with a web cam see each other every day - save a log of all your messages to meet the bureaucracy requirements

Good luck for 2007 -

Ivor, we lived in the UK for over a year before my wife made any Filipino friends. She was getting quite lonely I think, but she had our daughter to occupy her time. She did meet an Indonesian girl who lives just down the road, nice girl, just a bit &#39;odd&#39;.

Anyway, after bumping into a couple of Filipinos down the town one day she soon got into their &#39;circle&#39; and discovered there were 20 or 30 in our area. She then meet some more while working as a care-giver in nursing homes.

She has a few good friends now, and a few non-friends too. (They were basically the gold digger type mentioned in other posts on the forum) I think you really do have to go out and search the good ones down, as you don&#39;t often see Filipinos out socialising or partying up in pubs, unless they are the type you DON&#39;T want to meet. The decent ones generally keep themselves to themselves.

Actually, I managed to track down a Filipina from a posting on a Sheffield Forum, who introduced us to her sister... and things have started ballooning from there. And suddenly we are seeing Filipinas everywhere! Filipinas are like buses - discuss!

There seem to be quite a few filipinos here in N.Ireland. I guess with the north not being very big it would not be difficult meeting other filipinos here. It helps that a friend of Rhea is already living here and also there are a few members here on the forum also. Filipinos seem to make friends with other filipinos very easy no matter what country they live in.
