My first visit to the Philippines was in September. I had not really thought beforehand of any reaction to my being with a Filipina gf. I did notice curious looks from people occasionally but nothing more than that.

Since the visit my gf has said that some people now consider her rich, I presume this is a common reaction (misconception!) to any filipina who has a British bf.

My advice to anyone who suffers negative comments or reactions to their relationship is to rise above them and ignore them. It is human nature for some people to be jealous/bitchy/catty and reacting to that will only drag you down to their level.

During my last visit my gf never left my side when we were out. I am visiting again on Friday for 10 days and hope to sneak a little time out by myself. I wonder if the reaction to a single man will be different to that of me being with my gf!

I agree.

My Fiance planned to come here to have at least 1 week holiday together, but when I told him that he have to be on his own on the second day of his stay as I will have to go to the Hall of Justice to sort out my annulment.
He loved to come but he said he did not want to travel all the way from the other side of the world and only to find himself alone. But I told him , he will just be alone for few hours while I m in the Hall of Justice as I can not bring him with me to the courtroom.
He said, he did not want to be on his own if he is here in the Philippines.
So in the end we both agreed that he will come here early next year then we will go back together to England if I got my visa by then.

Simplelife, You can tell your fiance that during all the time I spent in the Philippines, wherever I was, I always felt secure and at ease. People were generally friendly and the culture here seems much less threatening than in Britain.

For instance, in the malls, there are never gangs of youths hanging around, and never any signs of trouble. Walking through a market late at night I was surprised how relaxed I felt, even though I was the only 'foreigner' in the whole area it seemed.

It makes me relaxed about my return, though until I am 'allowed' some time by myself by my gf I cannot speak from that perspective.

Good luck with your day in court.

Exactly the same experience here. I have never felt threatened, even when we had the extortion demand/threat at our farm. I just carried on as normal.

I've never met another foreigner in the market either, and I feel lots of people staring at me. We tend to visit on Sunday evenings when the best bargains are to be had.
