I think there is no exception either you are a foreigner or a filipino as long as you take a shower(take a bath) and change your clothes everyday then you will not be smelly... The most important is that each one of us should be particular with personal hygiene....I know that there is no person who would like to sleep with his/her love one who is stinky.... If you smell something bad with your partner why not tell him/her...but don't do that in the public...
I am so fortunate that my hubby is very particular with personal hygiene, When he stayed here he took a shower 3 times a day and always change his clothes.he does his hair cut every month that is why he looks so nice and clean.
