    you can try size 8 - uk size, as i'm also a size 6 in pinas and i'm more of a size 8 here in uk
    and also make sure you get a ring bigger so you have an allowance in case it doesn't fit your gf's finger,
    and you can just have it reduced in any jewelry shops there, as it would be harder to make a ring bigger, not to mention the time and cost.....
    hope this one helps

    lol, it's not your sick mind, its normal that you find the word funny being a foreigner, as it sounds similar to the private part you have in mind, lol
    anyway, for your clarity, here it is;

    PHILIPPINES - PILIPINAS OR PINAS
    FILIPINO - PINOY
    FILIPINA - PINAY
