I think this is a good idea.
Its not just Filipinos and Filipinas who do it we must add and its about poverty and that some humanswhatever there background, religion or culture will trample over others to get what they want.
A friend of mine met one Filipina online by chance totally independent of me he was chatting to her for a while and by chance mentioned her to me as it got "serious". We were just chatting in the pub about this girl and as he told me their story alarm bells went off about certain aspects. But my friend whos is full of common sense and not easily mugged off in the UK. Had not picked up on any of the points as you had to understand the differences in culture and various points of the way most filipinas would behave.
I then arranged for him to meet my Wife and a friend of hers also from phill he talked about various points of her story, they way she behaved, showed some photos she had sent. The Wife rang up and made a few calls (prices may have changed in a few years) and my mate could see my wife was like.
So the Wife offered to get some friends to meet her, the friend made excuses and things which my mate before had not noticed started to seem a bit strange.
Another lady he was chatting to slowly develpoped into a little more and again he talk to the Wife and her friend, this time her story made sense. Ok everyone is different,but no points which sounded the alarm.
The girl was happy to talk to my wifes friends and the wife it just made more sense. He has since met her and she seems a lovely girl.
Possibly the other Lady was perfectly fine but to many alarm bells and the mate has met a Lady who he knew a little more about before they met in person.
