    The funny thing is, most guys 'd probably volunteer help if it weren't for the games, schemes, incredible lies, scams, set-ups, blatant/disrespectful skin tax and the audacity of nonsense at some level.
    YOU MUST lose yourself completely and fully immersed in my nonsense in the name of culture.
    I don't mean to be harsh.
    I believe in a collective effort in the growth of humanity.
    Taking advantage of people despite perception of wealth and discrimination in any form is ugly and a backward step against growth.
    You might not be black but you feel discriminated against.
    I hate it just the same when it also happenes in Costa Rica, DR, Nicaragua, Colombia, etc .. etc...

I been around a bit, I understand what a long con looks like. I'm here because I won't deal with that shit in the states. I'm not here for pussy... that's what gets dudes in trouble. I'm here because my keesh goes farther and my quality of life is better. I won't lie and say women aren't in my top 5 reasons, but it's not my entire reason for living abroad.
      I will say, yes, you are right... simps get duped by mediocre chicks all day long. Don't come here thinking that will change.

    I am wealthy & always provide well for my woman as well as my children. I WILL NOT support her family. No one helped me build my wealth so I don’t need anyone helping me spend my wealth. May sound harsh but I live by my rules in Asia as well as my home country. Personally, I see it as a form of prostitution if a woman is only with a man because he financially supports her family. I’m also not a foreigner that “preys on” or dates women living in extreme poverty. Nothing personal, just my preference.

    I think it is in individual's preference and choice like you if you're willing to adjust the local's tradition and system(like PAKIKISAMA/GETTING ALONG)just to cope up with your culture shock state but if there are some traditions and system looks unreasonable to you(like being obliged to someone unfamiliar to you, attempt to scam/rip-off you by someone in a business etc), it's your discretion to not adjust into it and to vindicate yourself for a good reason. Just relax brother, it's not mandatory for everyone to adjust in another's culture or tradition of someone👍👍👍

    My GF is a typical province Filipina, she never asks for money. When I am there I feel uncomfortable when I see her and her family spend money I am certain they don't really have to spare. When I have queried her about this her response has been it is not my obligation and that it is OK for them to splash out occasionally. So I guess it depends on the family and the circumstances. I will note that her and her siblings are very entrepreneurial running their own businesses/hustles and trying to move forward financially irrespective of what the people around them are doing. Hopefully when I move there in a few weeks this situation doesn't change too much as I amnot a big fan of being coerced into sponsoring an entire family and it would lead to me walking away. Having said that, if there was a real need, say the parents died and the young children needed somewhere safe to go, my door would be immediately open to them. At the end of the day it all depends on the circumstances. Cheers Aussie John

      I'd rather invest in people who are actively helping themselves and the gift that keeps on giving.
      In my view, giving people free money doesn't guarantee their growth.

    Good advice here. I've dated a few Filipinas who were working and had good incomes and was never given the culture stories of supporting every pinsan and lazy kuya's. Some foreigners date low value women and get scammed for everything before realizing they are being played. Its mostly the same games all over the world. Guys when going anywhere in the world. Know yourself and what you abilities are when dating women. You have to be in shape and be at the top of your game.

    Jaspar, have you thought that it is always the ladies that seem to want to tell us what the culture is, and I am sure there is an evolved culture when a foreigner is in the family. Have you ever asked any Filipinos (men) about their view. My impression from talking to Filipinos was that the family was your wife, the parents, anything else depended on you. However if you are seen as a cash cow, expect rocky times.

    If you are Married to a Filipina; “support to family” is Philippine Law. As far as I know the law does not specify amounts, or to who. My interpretation is support the wife, her Mom and Dad--THATS IT! I am NOT doling out resources like The FOREIGNER BANK. Nor am I going to be coerced via some twisted self-serving, shifting definitions of “Philippine Culture”.
    **Btw if you pay your wife a weekly gift--by cultural definition--she will pay out/help her family, which also fulfills the requirement. Check with a Philippine attorney if you have any questions and/or just download the short subsection itself.

      Applying the “reasonable man” standard to demonstrable indication of willful neglect-- a relatively high legal bar which wouldn’t apply to vast majority of normal foreigners--let’s suppose a foreigners making 6000$ per month in lifelong passive income plus 75,000 savings in a Philippine bank; lives with his wife in lavish luxury in BGC or Makati while never indirectly or directly contributing a penny to the parents in 5 years who live province squalor with a leaking roof, no fans or A/C, (all fixable for less than $300 Bucks) for example. That scenario would likely be actionable in court. The practical reality-just like legal annulment of marriage--no poor person can afford the time or money to launch such a pursuit; so the bottom line is it’s rarely enforced.

    No. That's not the culture of Filipinos. It is a culture of poverty and needs. When Filipino families start to earn and be middle class they support their own families only. This is more like a grave need to help one another because they do not have access to basic needs. But since Manila still isn't that rich there are still a lot of social issues where you dont have a choice but to lean to family for help. Also, this is not unique to the Philippines. It's true for every poor family around the world. Even poor communities in the US have very tight close communities. Like minorities like blacks Hispanics etc. It's just that your background of being an American made you think that basic needs are basic to everyone.. it's a luxury for a lot of people in the world.

Like “dealing with Tampo” it is a manipulation tactic and a very immature one at that. I won’t condone or enable that bad behavior. The answer is to try to talk to them to work out the issue, if she doesn’t want to…. Leave. I did not work my entire life, put up with all the BS in America, had to deal with modern women, moved to the other side of the world to have a female giving me an attitude in the house I’m paying for. It’s simple fix yourself immediately or leave until you can act right. And explain that behavior will not be tolerated so if she has a desire to continue the relationship then start acting right or be replaced.
