It’s funny you mentioned the Bible. Actually, the Bible indicates the parents should be financially helping out the adult children!

The understanding is that a foreign man is not responsible for a Filipina family. Now if he wants to help fine, but he's not obligated to help. Also, I believe that local filipino men do not help the filipina family. It seems like this topic comes up only with foreigner men. I never heard of local men helping families.

@LoveyourLife-19702 ай бұрын
Nice video. As a black American I can say that I myself, grew up in a community not too unlike my wife did in the Philippines. There were times when we either did not have anything to eat for the day, or we had 'wish' sandwiches. Those are what we called two pieces of bread that we 'wished' we had some meat between. My mom died of cancer because she could not afford health insurance, she could not afford life or burial insurance and I was the only sibling that had enough money to cover everything, so I did. So I can relate to my in-laws and have no problem paying medical bills for Lola, for our grand daughter, great nieces and great nephews. Of course, my wife was working when we met, worked the entire 10 years we lived in the US and built a nice little savings from her salary. I feel that if us foreigners can afford it (gotta be honest about it), then we should do for our in-laws in the Philippines no differently than we would our families back in our own countries. Family is family and many times it is the in-laws that treat you better than your own blood family. You hit the nail on the head when it comes to it being a moral duty for the children here to go broke providing for the family. But everything must be budgeted in order to keep things from becoming a strain on finances and the marriage. My wife's family has quickly adopted to the ways of self reliance and learning how to work together within each household to stand on their own, except for things like medical emergencies since most places want payment up front, which is where my wife and I come in happily. Yes, focus on your immediate household as priority, but always place equal importance on your Philippines family and your in-laws.

Dear MiraK, this is the first time I watch your video. Aren't you talking about what is known as "Utang na loob"? PH kids are forever in debt to their parents bec they (the parents) went through a hard time to raise you (and all your siblings). In rich western countries, it doesnt work that way. Future parents know that having kids cost money and therefor the kids are not in debt to their parents. Bec making kids was and is a voluntary act. And to add: many western countries are not religious. So god has no part in getting pregnant (or not).
@troyelam89782 ай бұрын
My ex Filipina girlfriend and I had this conversation, and my question was always why are you responsible to offer financial support to your parents, and they’re only 51! I could see if they are old and bedridden, but it seems Filipino parents expect their children to start sending money and care packages. the moment they start working! well, damn, theoretically a kid could be of working age, with a 39-year-old parent! do you have to start supporting your parents at 39 and 40 years of age?
@haighton2 ай бұрын
@@troyelam8978, here is what I understand. PH Parents make their own kids feel very guilty about all the hardships and suffering they (the parents) went through since all the kids were born. Here in the West we know that kids cost money, time and effort. But in PH kids are not planned but they (parents and all other people) still think and believe its a decision made by god. Its just a lack of quality sex-ed and not using any form of birth control. Bottomline: ignorance and religion keeps and makes you poor(er).

@@Mirajill0909 Wow, that’s amazing to me, but I’m not going to speak against anyone else’s culture. If that works for Filipino, then that’s fine. Like I said, in theory a child of Filipino could technically start working full-time at 18-19 years of age. Someone that young could very easily have parents that are 38 or 39 years old, that are fully capable and young enough to continue working for themselves. Also, those parents could live until they’re 80! So the parents take care of the child for 18 years, and the child takes care of the parents for 40 years?? I’m guessing most people don’t think of it like that, but it just seems very much out of balance. Also, I know the Philippines based a lot of their morals and traditions on the Bible, and the Bible clearly indicates it’s the parents who should be supporting the children and passing down legacy to them, not the other way around. Again, I don’t want to speak against anyone else’s culture. If Filipinos are OK with it, I am fine with it as well, as long as I don’t have to pay! Lol.

I think everyone’s situation is different. The general rule of thumb is to help the Filipina’s parents. Siblings and other relatives are only for emergencies. Several KZbin vloggers recently pointed out as a warning to foreigners that children are obligated to support their parents if needed per Article 195 of the Family Code. I am surprised to hear a client of yours did not make time for her own children since Filipinas are known to be devoted mothers. I agree with you that your family comes first. That’s true in every culture.
