Marriage is a choice. Its none of your business or mine to meddle with the affairs of others. I just don't see a resolution passing about that ever.

Who do you think you are to judge morality of other people you do not even know. Its people like you pushing for superfluous legislation who hold up progress. If anybody need some mandates shoved down their throats its you. Because you don't know what your talking about and your a judgmental Neanderthal. I've been putting up with your type ever since my wife and I got together. She's never been a hostess, GRO, bar girl, or whore. Now, go pound sand you dolt. Find a dictionary and look up those words. Maybe that will keep you busy for a while.

No. In marriage, how will you determine if it is moral or immoral? You can not legislate a law which will infringe on freedom of choice.

Are you super dooper affected? Marriage is a decision. You don't even know how interracial marriage works, how it begin and to some how it ends. Get a life! People will not care if you marry your dog!

You will feel a lot better if you mind your own business.

the thing is honey, you will never know who sells or who bargains...lol and besides why do you care if they do? (not being rude) but that's their business and it's their body... Let's say yea it is immoral to sell bodies or any other body parts even if its a whole thing of per kilograms (you know what im sayin') but we can't do anything to stop them because we are living in a free country... As long as they are not doing something bad to other people like killing and robbing them, the congressman won't mind. Cut the root, not the branches... these Filipinas don't sell their bodies if they are not poor... They are just doing what they need to do to survive.. and it's simply not our business :)

You are approaching the problem in the wrong way.

Immorality is not by in itself a crime in a legal sense, at least not in a supposedly free democratic society. In other words, your proposal for yet another immorality law won't fly with your local congressman or police officer.

However, I see your point through the cloudy emotional cloud you cover it with. There are legal ways to curb possibly such inappropriate matchups. Let me try to interpret your real message:

What you are really upset about is not Filipinas marrying foreigners, but only about a subset of those marriages.

While some pinay-foreigner marriages are between truly consenting adults, there are a few made under some form of duress.

Take for example the marriage between an elder foreigner and underaged pinay teenager who has been forced to marry by her guardians. Another example is a marriage as a form of payment, again usually spurred by poor parents. There are people who are married to a pinoy spouse then marry a foreigner without first anulling their first marriages. A typical result of a naive pinay to preying foreigner marriage is it often leads to domestic violence.

All these circumstances can be prosecuted under existing civil statutes in the Philippines, such as assault, child abuse, prostitution, bigamy and a little known law called the RA Act 6955 or the Anti-Mail-Order Bride Law, which makes it illegal for a 'person, natural or juridical, association, club or any other entity' to 'establish or carry on a business which has for its purpose the matching of Filipino women for marriage to foreign nationals either on a mail-order basis or through personal introduction.

The problem is not that a new law is needed, the existing ones only need to be enforced.

Hey hey. You overused the word "immoral" there. In the first place you should haven't used that word.

They are not "selling their body".

Don't suggest your opinion to your Congressman. Either you'll be humiliated, or the Congressman. This will just raise issues concerning the country from which you are from and to the Philippines.

I married a foreigner. I don't need his money, I can live on my own. I am not being immoral, in fact I MARRIED him.

Our country has far more pressing problems that need attention. It pays no good to spend their time debating who should marry whom.

Dizzy Dame

I can't judge anyone for marrying foreigners or locals or people of the same sex or whatever. It's their life and they aren't hurting me. Indirectly, I've been impacted by the mail-order bride phenomenon in the Philippines (among many countries). But still, these women may not have any other way to get ahead in life or to find a husband. Who am I to say what they are doing is immoral?

jhedlind22

If you want to keep your women at home grow a backbone and earn something for yourself. Just like every other country in the world, the Philippines is not a land of entitlement. Hard work, courage, and perseverance win the day.

The immoral stuff isn't so much those who get married.
Those selling their bodies in bars and on the street could be described as acting immorally - perhaps you would prefer it if their families starved?
There might be a few who marry for purely economic reasons but then that is the same the world over.
I have been married to a filipina for over twenty years now and I wasn't fat then and I'm not fat now.
Ugly ??? Well I doubt that people would push Brad Pitt out of the way looking for my autograph but I certainly don't think I am ugly.
Maybe it is you who is fat and ugly. You certainly sound bitter so perhaps you are secretly just jealous that some others are finding that which eludes you.
In fact it is probably your bitter disposition which puts people off you more than your outward appearance. Who knows?

becIsaidso

I don't think so... Immoral?? How would anyone know what's really inside of their heart and mind? You are not God.

The word "selling their bodies" is very strong... in other words it means they are prostitutes... They are prostitutes everywhere... here and all over the world. A lot of filipina prostitute are even being patronised by their fellow Filipinos, shouldn't you be focusing on this first? Cleaning up the prostitution in your country? And illegitimate hungry children left by irresponsible Filipino fathers!! Who whats only premarital sex and when their girlfriend gets pregnant they are not man enough to take their responsibilities!! Aren't you aware of how many poor families you have in your country and how many children are not getting the right education they should be getting? The rate is so freaking shameful, it is because they are a lot of Filipino men who are irresponsible and disrespectful!!

Besides a lot of Filipino men are too macho type... they treat their wives like their possession... marrying them and expecting them to be their cook, cleaning lady, nanny of their child, their maid, their wife, their mistress ( which means they have have no equal say & take their husband's macho image of flirting with other girls, Is this your tradition or custom?) and their trophy all in one!! What a convenience they have, no need to hire are maid and finance a mistress.. and on few case filipina wives married to a Filipino would even work and help the husband earn money and still expect their wives make them breakfast and the husband won't even help wash the clothes and dishes!!
Maybe not all filipino men are like that but look around you they are a lot if not all are these worst still some are also good but still expect their wives to make breakfast for them. LOL...

Serving your husband like a slave and like a geisha is not a wives obligation but it is the husband's obligation to provide a comfortable and convenient life for their wife and children.

Filipinas should realise these and stop being a martyr. Women are born to be a queen and not a slave. So why would anyone wants to marry an egoistic Filipino men? When you can marry a loving, respectful, handsome american who treats you like his treasure... treats you like his queen... and care for you like you are the most beautiful woman in the universe.. and not to mention of a 100% beautiful children you can have!!

Sorry to read such ignorance! You and many others may suggest to your Congress. If they're willing to take it on, they are more ignorant than you are. And if that's the case, the country is in more trouble than we all think.

Big P

I know that your question was meant to stir up people the wrong way.
I been around different kind of filipino men over the years. I learned that most of the Filam men know how to lead and take care of their families well.
Going by what I observed only, I witnessed most local filipino men in my area of the Philippines lacking leadereship and direction. The women are doing everything.
I want to cut it short because I don't want to seem as if I bashing all filipino men because I am not.
There are good and bad men in every nationality.

Sweet Babu

Who decides who you can marry in the Philippines? Do your neighbors vote on it? What gives you the right to control who your kababayans marry? Why are you concerned who your neighbors marry? Are you jealous that you can't persuade one of your lovely compatriots that you're worth marrying?

Beetlle

that is very assuming of you to think that ALL filipinas who marry foreigners are immoral. there is no way for you to know what is going on in a marriage unless you yourself is inside the marriage to witness it. so, do you know all the people who are married to foreigners? have you lived with them and slept with them to conclude that their marriage is immoral?that is impossible.. you can't know everybody.

yuanyuan

Of course u are entitled to your opinion, but this here one is a tad too hypocritical!. When did it ever become that marrying, unless one is already married to someone else, is immoral? What is your problem with foreigners? They just happen to be from another country, my goodness!

lalangmagawa

big nooooo....you don't have the right to do that....besides they're not selling their bodies. there are big problem to be solved so dont be rude.

corinna

No. We don't have the right to judge anyone. And we cannot legislate who people want to marry.

Christine V

Why are you bothered in the first place? I sense ignorance on you. Yes, I admit we see these young uneducated mountainous poor filipina marrying fat old foreigners. It is hard to judge because, for me I'm sure not all of them marry just for money's sake. I came from a decent family, and finished a medical bachelor's degree in a private school in Philippines. I'm 26 and married to a 27 loving American. We are almost 3yrs being married. Life is good! LOL. Different cultures is actually not an issue. It's fun and challenging.

Anyways, I feel the same way seeing those girls being with those kind of foreigners too. But what if they are happy? they are both happy? Here then comes the issue of Free will given by God, and we live in a free country.

What resolution are you trying to suggest to your Congressman? Make sure you won't get humiliated. I suggest that you guys will just try make an awareness about this. Educate people, specially those from the mountains.

Sanmigsean

I think dating someone of your own race/nationality would be pretty boring, but those who want to should. Why would race/nationality even be a criteria for getting married.

You sound like a pretty ignorant person.

bighouse2025

I might recommend 'A pleasure trip' to the Philippines for you!!! You definitely seem like you need to release some tension!!!! I certainly wouldn't go around worrying about who, or if, someone was selling their bodies if my needs were being met ;-) I would bet if you did some traveling you would change your whole outlook on life, and have NEW understanding of WHY foreign men marry Filipinas!!!!
