Kumusta & Aloha!

Hi Chris Im about to return to the UK you dont say how long you have been around Cebu, One good method , especialy as you have unlimited time is to meet up with ex-pats who have already married here.

Their wives families often have ladies who are looking for a serious relationship and its easy to get the picture on the attitudes in that family from the husbands and their friends here

Unless the lady has a good job of her own they inevitably want some support for their parents ...at least but that doesnt have to be beyond what they would send if they were working.

My partner sends her mum 2000piso a month from her own earnings ,she could send more if she liked

That's usually a bit of a problem because most of the families seem to expect much more if she's married to what they perceive to be an extremely rich whitey.

Thats right Ian but finding the other families that dont form part of the "most"
can be a legitimate part of the selection process plus the more rich whiteys there are in the family the more the load can be shared

The longer Ive stayed here the more Ive realised that for some folk here 3000piso a month is realy somthing even when they have to work seven days a week to get it food for thought

Your right, P3,000 really is something in Phils, but it seems that because the expectations having a whitey in the family creates, there are many families who think that the whitey (or worse still, their daughter) is kuripot even if they get P10,000 per month.
