In my own opinion, I think the relationship is okay. It will be exciting at the start but it will also be challeging not only because of the age gap but also the interest and priorities of both parties. Remember that the girl is still a minor and should be focusing more on her studies and family. While the man is probably working and focused on his career and would want to start his a family of his own. Everybody could only contribute our ideas and experiences but its really upto them to learn the lessons from it, in the end, decide the things that will not only be good for them but most importantly whats right.
Who knows? Having that kind of relationship is like one a million, but that doesn't mean that it couldn't happen to them and they will not end up happy.
Just take it easy and be responsible to whatever actions you make. |

This is playing with fire.....
and the 24 year old male is risking the most.....say ten years in jail
Especially if this relationship gets physical......but even if it does not she can claim it did and ruin his life
The girl is risking her reputation......and her chastity..... could make a mistake that could alter her entire life
You can not take a baby back to the mall and exchange it for something else
There are reasons the LAW says no sex until you are 18 ( should be 21).... one of which is our brain is the last part of our body to finish development.....often young people are mentally unable to make rational decisions and fully contemplate the ramifications of our choices.
At a young age our emotions and sex drive are very hard to control..... making a life altering decision under raw emotions is very difficult task....
COOL IT...... You have the rest of your life
My question to the "old" guy is.....Why are you so insecure you need to pick on an innocent inexperienced child? Do not tell me you love her.....otherwise you would wait two years and let her grow up |

In my honest opinion and regarding to how I observed things while I was in the Philippines. I would think its ok. From what I have learnt filipino people are very affectionate people. That and all the hardships the people face there combined with a more open attitude these days would make these kind of things more common. Ofcourse the age gap is big and there would be people on both sides saying no she's to young and the guys to old and others who would be fine with it. But you must understand that filipino's are also the type to quickly assume. The guy could be a gentleman and not a sex crazed teenage seeking predator like most here would imagine or infact the girl could be either aswell. Can't rule it out either way.
But getting to my point, there isn't really any law for it there and I think its more of a frowned upon thing by the people there. Which I honestly think in the comming years if not as we speak now will ease and will be quiet more common to see. As everyone knows the Philippines isn't a normal country and normal rules don't really apply to alot of things there.
Hope that helped. |

There are no laws that interferes with the affairs of the heart. You can have a relationship with her, HOWEVER, by law she is still a minor. Sex, drinking (till she gets drunk) is definitely out of question. As the matured person, you are RESPONSIBLE for her. When she reaches 18, you can probably loosen up and give her more "freedom". Remember she can cry "rape" if she wants to and the law is very biased to the woman. Also get the approval of her parents, that is the most important thing. |

its really okay, there is really no problem, and there is no law prohibiting this type of relationship, BUT
the big BUT is when sex and or sexual act is committed
"statutory rape" can be filed against the older person. that is the only law that might be used against the younger person or relatives and or parents.
with age gap, provided sex is already allowed, then when the person reaches the age of maturity that is 18 in the Philippines, then age gap is not a problem anymore.

honestly? it's ok i guess.... no one really cares.... but, if you get her pregnant or she gets pissed at the guy or something and they already did the "deed"... well.....
she can sue the guy for rape.
yes. it can happen as long as the child is 17 and below i think. |

well i know this friend who is 23 and he is married to a 16 year old ( what are the couinsidence- if thats how you spell it) they have a baby. the 16 year old girl now has headaches and already went to the hospital. i say that they shouldnt get really close because it may get too far. i say that it is not okay because that is a very big age difference, they should go out with people around their own age groups |

there's now such law prohibiting having a relationship with someone. for me, a 16-year-old girl, who is still very young, to have a boyfriend is not quite ok. She should focus first on her studies because after all, love can wait. And for the 24-year-old boy, she should wait if he truly loves the girl. |

There is no law prohibiting a minor girl to have a relationship with a man very much senior in age. As they say, age doesn't matter. However, aren't you too young to be involved in a relationship no matter how young or old the guy may be? |

NO! She isn't even a woman and adult yet! She needs to know what she's doing, not just yes to all questions because he's rich, handsome or something. God has different plans for her. 2- 5 years gap is ok but that is too much. |

oh no... you're free to have a boyfriend even 50 years older than you...
although marriage is not allowed if you're a minor... |

its fine, as long as you have the guidance of your parents, kids like you need the guidance of "real" adults
the saying "age doesnt matter" is still valid, you really just need some guidance |

It is okey to make relationship with 16years old with your age but according to law if ever you have sex with him and she will complain then dang! you be a big trouble.
Get rid of 16 yo..so many girls in there that are sutable with your age. How about mamasang? heheh |

Sure it's ok! When she'll be 26, you'll be 34 - doesn't it sound nice?
Law? I don't think so. Unless u go all the way, the parents discover and they decide to sue - s_x with a minor w/ consent., sumthin' like that. I'm not sure either if that applies to a 16y/o. |

There is no law against age gap and being in a relationship in the Philippines. Most men there wants a young bride. Or at least, that's what I heard. |

No problem with that, as long as you know how to handle the relationship. |
