"YOU CAN TAKE THE FILIPINA OUT OF THE PHILIPPINES BUT YOU CANNOT TAKE THE PHILIPPINES OUT OF THE FILIPINA?"

My answer is both
AGREE in a sense that you cannot take away the family and moral values that the filipina has been brought up to, not to mention the dipper/tabo phenomenon that took the uk husbands by storm
DISAGREE in a sense that filipinas can be surprisingly flexible and can easily fit in and adapt to new places, new cultures and new people without compromising her integrity and her personal values and beliefs.
