Wow their comments are so Insightful. We mock Americans for being inward looking, sometimes some Asians can be a little like that but Filipinos are so thoughtful about cross cultural integration. Repect Philippines people I absolutely adore you. Bonus I was taught Asian cooking by a Filipino mum of a gorgeous mixed race friend. ❤

[@mischa6688]

Asian Boss, I hope you’d feature more interesting topics about the Philippines, too, and not always stereotypical ones like this and “how much do you earn,” “why do Filipinos have so many babies,” then asking mostly low-income demographics. I just noticed you feature really interesting topics for other countries, yet in the Ph, it feels like your topics are to emphasize how low-life or poor the country is. Don’t you lack researchers for the PH?

Young innocent Indian students are getting ki**ed in USA every other day asian boss. Last month 20 Indian students got ki**ed.this month 5 students got ki**ed.Where is your news about it Asian boss?

You call yourself asian boss so why are you not standing up for those Indian kids?

[@anav8598]

I concur. The topics that Asian “Boss” choose to feature about the Philippines have all involved coloured questions that paint a degrading image of the Philippines. Does the fact that the owner of this channel is Korean have anything to do with it? Can’t you think of more interesting questions? Or interview a more diverse demographic in the Philippines instead of interviewing only the low income group? Or would that just not align with the narrative you want to create?

[@portalkey5283]

Asian Boss, why are you like this? We've been following this channel for years and it's becoming obvious that you're a victim of your own deeply ingrained racial biases that leave little for meaningful discourse about asian countries aside from South Korea, Japan, and China. Should have just named the channel East Asian Boss if all you do is put east asians in a better light while denigrating the rest of asia. Do better.

[@theboredprogrammer1114]

I'm a Filipina who married a Japanese guy yet I don't have any financial problems in my family. I'm one of those Filipinos who live in nice subdivisions. Thing is, when I was single, I had bad experiences with dating Filipino men. They didn't take me seriously as I wanted a date to marry route. They just cheated on me or blatantly have no long term plans. I changed the dating field and unexpectedly ended up with a Japanese man just 6yrs older than me. I seriously hate other Filipino men's comment, "nakaahon sa kahirapan" because not all Filipinas who marry are poor. Some just need better men who are serious and loyal with marriage. Insecure lang kayo (karamihan). Kadalasan kayo pa magbubuntis ng babae tapos di nyo pananagutan. That I don't like. Currently, nasa PH kami nakatira. Sa mismong sariling bahay at lupa ko pa. Both of us work and he earns slightly higher than me kasi maraming work experience na siya than me.

[@mischa6688]

Asian Boss always, always, focus on asking the low income sector or poorer sector, like almost in every video they feature about the Philippines. Instead of addressing the stereotypes about Filipinos and Filipino women, I get it that majority of Filipinos are poor but that’s already a given, but still this channel focus on topics about how poor the country is or interviewing the poorer sector hence get the same stereotypical answers. But they post more interesting topics for other Asian countries posted. I just feel like this channel is so biased with east Asian countries and degrading Southeast Asian ones.

[@dominicperez3777]

​@@gewglesux The "Passport Bros" are men who have chosen to seek out foreign women, typically from other countries, for relationships. They believe that western women have been influenced by cultural and societal pressures to behave in a certain way, and that by seeking out foreign women, they can find a more authentic, fulfilling, and harmonious relationship. This is seen as a way to restore the natural balance between masculine and feminine energy, and to avoid the "wickedness" of western women. Source: Urban Dictionary In other words, these are men who got tired of western women being -hoes- degenerates for da streets that they decided to seek love somewhere else. Particularly finding women that are conservative and traditionalist types aka the tradwife.

[@MagichourManila]

3:28 I'm curious about how many of the 15,000 foreigners who have married Filipinas did so with the intention of purchasing properties in the Philippines or starting a business there. It's difficult to determine the exact number or conduct a survey on this, but it's definitely a possibility. I doubt that most of these men are extremely wealthy or well-off in their own countries. Perhaps marrying a Filipina is a way for them to have a more comfortable retirement, establish a business, or invest in properties that would be challenging to do in their home country. It would be interesting if the channel could also showcase these foreign nationals and their reasons for marrying Filipinas in a future video.

They are not referring to you as a foreigner, they are referring to foreigners from rich countries

[@NekoEspada]

I used to think they're all gold diggers, but after experiencing it myself I think it's more about safety, security and a brighter future. My father was a Chinese businessman who was kidnapped and murdered when I was a baby and we were left with nothing after he was gone. My mother never remarried and worked really hard to raise her children by herself. She only remarried an Australian guy when i was a teenager and he was not rich, he was middle class, so she didn't marry for money, and now as an adult I understand she made the sacrifice for her kids. When you're living in a hopeless place, what is wrong with seeking a better future for yourself and your kids? It's easy to judge people when you're priviledged and don't know hardship. Also he wasn't a good person, he had anger issues and was mentally abusive to my mom, calling her stupid all the time, but she endured the abuse for her children's future. He did help my mom move my brother and I from the Philippines and I'm grateful that he helped us despite his flaws. I'm very happy to be living in Australia, I think it is one of the best countries to live in, I personally think it's better than USA. My mother also signed a prenup so she never got anything substantial after my stepdad passed away. His grown up kids inherited most of his possessions. And I also built my wealth on my own, I put money into the stock market, I have my own house and my stepdad and mom never gave me any money to give me a leg up growing up. People need to have more empathy for people who want to escape their hopeless situation. If we stayed in the Philippines I don't know if we would've survived.

[@chriIIe]

See it's not about rich, it's more about the stereotypes of rich. It's more about intent, not actually what you end up with. Cuz I agree, most of them don't end up with much, but they certainly thought they would.

You can spit them on the face, and they would still like you, that is how some Filipinos are, unfortunately.

[@Linoxism]

Let’s be real though. The Philippines is a developing country, people want to improve their lives, who wouldn’t when you grow up with so little? The means aren’t there for many of them, the privileges of being born in a developed country aren’t afforded to them. So yes, there will be assumptions made of white people, people coming from developed Asian countries and people who have the finances to travel to the Philippines. Filipina women may see these men as an opportunity to get more out of life, and we live in a world where sex sells, and if a man is willing to offer her what she wants and a shot at improving hers and her family’s situation, it’s easy to understand why she would take the opportunity. I’m not saying it’s morally right, but it does feel like punching down when these women are villainized simply for wanting a better life from what little opportunities they may be presented with.

[@mischa6688]

And these men are actually, mostly, the last resort of women who want to improve their lives. And somebody here made a great point, it’s a two-way thing. Why do foreigners marry women coming from a poorer background? Because they get something from them, sex, control since these women are financially-dependent on them.

[@AngryKittens]

So much racism and misconceptions in the comments, I doubt many of them even watched the video. A lot of it borne from their own cultural lenses that view women as just wives. First off, the Philippines is THE most gender equal country in Asia. Higher than developed Asian countries like South Korea or Japan, higher even than first world western countries like the US. We have the highest number of women in senior management positions, top 10 in terms of the highest number of female CEOs, and we've had two female presidents. The simple fact that women here are treated far more equally is the exact reason why they can choose to marry a foreigner with no social repercussions. Filipinas marry foreigners because they CAN. Whereas in your countries, doing so would be viewed with derision or shame. It's a reflection of your own cultural biases that you laugh at us. 1. Filipina women genuinely find most foreigners attractive. The same reason that someone might find a Filipina beautiful, is the same reason Filipinas might find foreign men attractive. The same is true for Filipino men and foreign women, as well as for Filipino LGBT people and foreign LGBT people. Our beauty standards tend to go for the different, rather than the similar. We universally find mixed people beautiful, it's why a large number of our celebrities are mixed, far more than most other countries. See 11:16 2. Financial security. It's funny how people find this weird, when the vast majority of people also marry for this reason. The Philippines is a developing country. If a man can provide a better life, he'll always have an advantage over someone who can't. Practicality. It's PART of the reason, but not THE reason. See 10:14 3. The trade-off is the cultural differences. As I've already mentioned, Filipina women are used to being equal. We are family-oriented which a lot of foreigners mistake as being submissive. We're not. And a huge fear into entering mixed marriages is that they might end up being mistreated. See 7:17 and 8:05 There are exceptions of course. And they're obvious. Mostly when the age and attractiveness gap is wide. But that happens in any country.

[@mesCheerios]

@@kzm-cb5mr And yet a lot of them survive and thrive as families in the long run. Kinda puts a spanner on your stereotype that they're only marrying for money, doesn't it? Hence exceptions. I've seen couples with almost 30 year gaps who are happily married. Instead of sneering at that, sneer instead at the countries where the MEN actively buy brides from other countries, and then in most cases, mistreat them. THAT is very prevalent in other Asian countries. Yet get much lesser attention.

Philippines is a classist society. The rich/middle class Filipinos tend not to date below a certain line. This line is delineated by income, family, and education. People stay in their social circles. College graduates usually date and marry other college graduates. Professionals date and marry professionals. Poor Filipinos have only a few options to move up. Education, business, sports, entertainment, go abroad, or marry a foreigner, or a combination. Other than marrying a foreigner, the other options require hard work and/or talent. The Filipinas that actively look for foreign men are usually of this class. These are the ones you usually see that are young with the old retirees. Now, I'm saying this generally. Rich/middle class Filipinas are open to foreigners but not actively looking for them. There has to be a natural real connection there, real attraction. They are not desperate to escape poverty. Their families are fairly well off. My foreign uncles are the same age their wives and they never get asked for money. Rich/middle class Filipinas, from what I've been told, actually avoid foreign men. The young guys tend to be f boys just looking for a good time, not serious. They don't want the retirees because other people will look at them as lower class. This is not to bash the Filipinas that go for foreigners as from the lower class. Its is a natural prerogative for each of us to provide for ourselves and our families the best we can. I myself am married to a non-Filipina. It was out of real attraction, emotional connection, compatibility, and commitment. Many in my family who marry non-Filipinos are the same, we are fortunate that finances are not a main consideration for choosing a partner for life.

I think it's incredibly unfair that many people only look at this one side of the relationship and label these women from the Philippines or Thailand or where have you as nothing but gold diggers or green card-chasers. Sure, perhaps some of them are, but are we really going to pretend that the men that they marry are innocent saints with no ulterior motives of their own? How is the person looking for a better life for herself and her family a worse person than the one who's taking advantage of her circumstances in the hopes of getting a housemaid or S-slave for free? Let me add that I'm sure plenty of these people (on both sides) do indeed marry for love, just like in other international marriages from other countries. I just don't like seeing how women like this are being vilified the way that they are when there are two people in the marriage/relationship.

Somebody mentioned the owner of this channel is a Korean, and imo topics about the PH is from his own narrative, like how poor the PH is whereas topics from other countries are “not as predictable” as this one. I mean, the PH is a poor country, yes, so why ask something that most of the world universally know already? Or at least they could’ve sought other answers by asking diverse group of women or people, not those with predictable answers. And thanks for mentioning most foreigners actually take advantage of Filipino women, and sometimes even use them just to get their trust fund and whatnot then do something to them after, so isn’t that a win-win? There is nothing wrong with being poor and marrying for greener pasture, but what is wrong is this channel kind of painting a bad picture that mostly, if not all Filipino, Thai women, or Southeast Asian women marry just for money, while topics in East Asia are totally different from this.

This was intresting. I’m married to a Thai woman. We met here in Europe where we live now. She had been here already for a couple of years when we met. She had a relative here who she visited and then stayed on here to work. I’m not a rich guy, but not poor either. She is a hard worker and does not want to sit home and not contribute to the family. So we help and support each other as needed. She does have some friends here and back home who got married for other reasons. Financial reasons and the dream of a better life. We seenaround us relationships that are more of an agreement of convenience rather than a relationship of love or romance. Main thing is treating each other right regardless of the agreement you have with each other. Sadly that isn’t always the case and we know of both women who moved here only to find that priccharming was anything but that and mistreated them. On the other hand men being completely ripped off by gold diggers also happens. And then there are those who actually managed to meet irl or online and live up to the expectations which are the success ones.

They eventually used that knowledge-base to develop economically. The Philippines got Spain and the US instead who weren't that interested in Filipino economic and human development, much like the colonies in Central and South America.

Firstly a lot of middle class parents tell their kids to become nurses because it's very easy to get a job in western countries due to high demand, so, escape your own country. Secondly, once one person is dating and married to a foreigner she will do her utmost to get the girls in the family to be introduced to foreigner men in her husbands circles so that they can also escape Philippines. Apparently it's harder being a woman in Philippines. BTW they are great women and generally look after their families a lot.

He’s thoughtful and mature, and I love how he puts in the effort to make sure we both enjoy our time together." Also, when we talk about different things, I feel less judged than I would if I said or admitted certain things to some Filipinos. Maybe some Filipinos are like this too, but it’s rare.

Some Filipinos can be pretty harsh when they comment on how others look even when the person they’re judging actually looks better than them.

Some of us also grow up very Westernized. My friends and I share a lot of commonalities with Fil-Ams, even though we grew up here in the Philippines. Our perspectives and values have become a lot more easily compatible with other cultures, so it's not a big deal for us to date foreigners (and somewhat more difficult to date Filipinos, too). It hurt a lot when my partner (at the time) said his dad was worried about our relationships because "Filipina women are always just out for citizenship or money"; I understood why he felt that way and that the stereotype exists for a reason. But that's also why I refused any presents or offers to pay for things that my ex initiated himself. I didn't need his money and his citizenship, and still don't.

First, why do Asian Boss always feature kind of belittling topics about the Philippines, like about this or “how much do Filipinos make,” “why do Filipinos have so many babies,” and interview mostly low-income class employees but you do more interesting topics about other countries? Are you lacking researchers in the Philippines? Lol And regarding this topic, this is the problem when you only interview a certain demographic. Of course, low incomers would state just one point, “for money.” “Gold-digging” or marrying foreigners for money applies mostly to low to middle income class Filipino, but if you will ask upper middle class to elites, it’s more of they meet foreigners on a daily basis from their networks from international schools or actually attending unis overseas particularly US, Europe, Australia, etc. Also, it’s hard to find ambitious Filipino men on a daily basis, like those who are striving to earn more to be able to provide a better lifestyle for themselves and their families. A lot of Filipino men get too complacent with their job and are okay with “just okay” jobs as long as they can provide the basic needs, and I guess Filipino women nowadays have become more and more independent and it’s difficult to find someone who would match their being goal-oriented, don’t want to settle for less and whatnot. Whereas poor to middle-income classes in foreign countries could be upper-middle to upper class already if they are in the Philippines due to income gaps between Filipinos and richer countries.

@@Cxs1a3 They don't look the same in most cases. The breeding over centuries makes a big difference.

They're all the same to non-South East As;ans, they may look better to South-East As;ans, but to other cultures, it's all the same. I'll give you another example, As;ans ( East, South-East, South, doesn't matter) think an average blonde girl looks like a celebrity, even though in her culture , everyone understands she is just average at best.

@@Cxs1a3 That's true. I saw that Japan has a Slavic beauty queen, but she looks totally average. Nothing meant to be insulting. That's just what people like. You could call it God's way. The lower class Asians very rarely have the looks to marry up. And often don't have the education to get a good job. So the Western man seeking them specifically is a God send. And the Western man is so fed up with BS. He just wants someone to be sweet on him and manage the household and give him peace. It's like some mysterious way of God pulling them together. And an average or ugly Western guy with an average or ugly Asian tend to have good looking kids. A lot become models. But ask any Asian people, and they say, "Why the hell they like those girls? She's ugly. She has scars. She doesn't have a good job." But this is like another mystery work of God. Because the Western men are not competing with the Asian men. No one is butting heads. Everybody can win!

In As'an cultures, looks alone is often not enough for a woman to marry a rich guy. Looks alone may get you 1 nite stands, secs, dates, becoming the mistress, but in terms of marriage, society looks down on poor girIs, even if she's good looking. Most rich As;an guys I know marry average-looking rich girls, because that's what society respects, society does not respect hot poor girls. Western culture is different, western culture sheets on rich girls who aren't pretty and hold up poor hot girls on a pedestal. And that is why a lot more wite guys marry girls from poor countries, because their culture is a lot more open to that, whereas As'ans look down on people who do that.

I think because many Filipina can speak English, foreigner can talk to them easily and build relationship. Language is the first thing that connect people. I noticed that among Southeast Asians, Filipinos are the most fluent in English along with Singaporean

[@Cxs1a3]

Disagree, Thailand is way more popular a destination for foreign men, factually, and Thai's basically speak 0 English.

[@pikkonama8858]

Not only Philippines, also Indians tend to be speak English fluently.

[@secks2864]

I would say "Why so many foreigners marry Filipina women", as the lady said they are kind people

[@chriIIe]

um,no, they're just desperate to escape povirty
