Where do you get the idea that Filipinos do not have that culture, "marrying up" or social climbing exists in all societies and if you went to subic anytime in th last 40 years there were plenty of filipinas marrying up!. Are you saying that it is okay if a young filipina marries a well to do filipino man that is ok but not if he happens to be a foriegner? I have done business with Senior Filipino Execs at PLDT, PAL, Fortune Tobacco and SM and nearly all of them are messing around their often younger wifes so maybe the filipina is right to look abroad after all
