WHY FILIPINAS SAY WHAT THEY SAY (And Do What They Do)

Why Filipinas say what they say, and why Filipinas are the way they are, has baffled foreigners for generations, and many of you who are interested in dating a Filipina have written me with questions about your situations. Figuring out why Filipinas act the way they do can be a funny, frustrating, and surprising process, but I'm here to shed some light on the subject, so today I'll be answering your emails. Tis will be fun! ‪@TheFilipinaPea‬

Pea, from where you come here in the PH?

[@benmat]

Hi pea, i disagree with you about the "single status on facebook" question... My filipina and I are in a french meetup group of about 20 filipinas and most of them are married with french guys ... and most of them didn't changed their facebook status before being married. The main reason is to prevent from chismosa, and also to prevent family members from asking for money ... and i guess also to prevent "friends" from improving their crab mentality ...

And after that is a really long story. Bottom line, is we took everything slow for our love too grow. And it grew so strong. For example, if you remember she passed away 2 years ago from liver cancer. Well while I was in the hospital something happened and I had to be rushed back to surgery. I remember someone holding my hand, telling me to keep my eyes open (i was dying), after I woke up a few days later and a heart doctor came in and told me it was her. But I didn't recognize her. A day later After I thought about it and looked at some pictures on my phone. I was surprised, it was my riza came down from heaven. We finally met face to face! She was telling me to keep my eyes open. Anyway love ya pea, keep up the great work you do❤. Oh, eventhough I have 4 holes in my chest, I'm doing great

I had a talk with my filipina about feeling felt out and she walks away and feels me with them I told her I need time I need her with me more often. Because of me everytime we visit there is more new people which again makes me uncomfortable but I try to get through it for her. Also I found out because of me some family has asked her for money usually only 100 peso I was upset u till I listened to her and understood its also a cultural thing I have to leave my culture behind while I'm visiting here.

I do enjoy your videos and I am mentally preparing myself for those cultural differences, but being multilingual already I have learned a few things in my years. I suspect that my linguistic prowess would serve me well over there. Especially if I can get an impartial teacher so that I am able to learn apart from a GF. I have many hilarious stories of people looking at me and assuming I don't speak their language. I know a buddy of mine learned Tagalog from Rosetta Stone and got very proficient, but that doesn't cover dialects like, Vasaya, Basaya, Cebuano and I forget all the others. 88 distinct and recognized dialects and hundreds of lesser is just mind boggling. I bet even the Amazing Filipina Pea only knows a few. So next time is the lawyer...either more legal issues or new info on travel, but that is usually your Filipino source...well counting the time until the next Pea~

You guys are misunderstanding what she is saying. She is talking about Hiya.

And not understanding hiya is gonna mess up any relationship you have with a Filipina. Don’t expect it to last.

It got the point across and I relayed to her a few instances where it could possibly be very dangerous to lie. We had much better conversations after that since she knew where I was coming from. There are still occasional times that I know she is "saving face" but they are much less frequent and don't really matter. Then, she always looks at me afterwards like she knows I will get her back. Ironically, she now calls out her friends and family for lying for no reason.

The lying about the little things is probably the most distressing of the cultural difference.

Hopefully Pea can help to change this way of living unless she lives the same way of life which I’ve thought she doesn’t from seeing her videos. That being said there’s many good things about the people there which are evident early on if you visit there.

[@TheFilipinaPea]

I absolutely don’t live that way, and I consider all lies to be wrong. I think the obsession with ‘saving face’ is a stain on our culture

[@glengilbow8068]

@@TheFilipinaPea Thank you for the reply! I didn’t think that “the lying culture” was your style, that’s the main reason I subscribed to your channel. What made me interested to marry a Filipina in the first place was the emphasis on “family”, taking care of the parents and of course that the man is the “head of the family” not to mention the Filipina’s natural beauty and femininity. I always thought that children with parents from both sides of western culture and eastern culture would be honest, forthright, ambitious, take care of family and of course be very attractive which is always a bonus for any person who possesses those traits. Of course anything can be taken “too far.” In the west it’s all about being independent, to the point and parents never expect their children to take care of them. In the Philippines it’s all about saving face, even if it requires lies to do so, older children take care of the younger siblings and the parents expect the children to take care of them. My take is, tell like it is, no lies! Take care of yourself, first! Reason being if you don’t take care of yourself how can you take care of anyone else? If you fly on a plane they tell tell you to put “your” oxygen mask on first. If you don’t, how will you have the oxygen to take care of anyone else? At the same time, never forget about those around you, especially your family! If anyone has children for the simple reason that the children take care of them is selfish and disgusting! Again, all cultures have good and bad things to learn from each other. It us up to all of us to try and “meld” the positive traits together and eliminate the negative traits. It takes work and understanding from both sides…

[@reuelattwood9287]

Everybody is an individual. I have met quite a few there who would not lie to save their lives. I have met people who refuse to accept help with money even when facing a life of unhappiness because of it. If one woman does not meet your requirements, move on to another.

Too the last guy. Sorry to say but pea is right. Your being scammed. Stop sending money and see how fast she has no time for you. And play it off as oh i got taxes to do so i don't have the extra to give i bet in a week or two she will ask again for money but give her some other reason. Then you wont hear from her again because she'll know your on to her. Trust me i fell for it. And now i can see it plane as day.

[@maretcaplan6462]

Curious. I'm married to an American and I think because I'm also upfront like him so we don't really have this lying issue. Is it okay to ask for examples? I'm surprised other men here are saying the same thing so looks like this is kinda common but something I'm not aware of. That's not good.

It is sooo different than here... You'll never hear from a woman or man here asking some stranger to give them a baby. Usually, when we have a guest from a foreign country we pay the bills and take good care of them no matter if they are wealthy or not. lying or hiding something in a relationship even some little thing will mostly make you lose all the respect inevitably in the same exact minute especially when you don't admit that you are wrong or hiding something. And women dressing in short skirts or almost naked during daytime for no special reason are mostly considered desperate for attention or can't get something with using their heads.

Hello Pea! I been listen to your video's for a very long time. And have lived in Philippines for last 7 years. I am 68 years old. The one common denominator that seems to be addressed (and it needs to be) is the lack insight, wisdom, smarts (you name it) that a lot men lack concerning the women here that are not the right ones to get involved with. You cannot know someone by video's chaats alone. This amazes me and most of these guys are in their 50's or above. They lack what I call street smarts. I think you get the term. and while you can offer them advice for situations here about women they really need to learn. And not be moved by every pretty face filipina. You do a great job of exposing things and I would think that you would need a body guard (smile). Kasi the scamming women probably want you gone. I am thinking some of the things the guys need is common sense. they think with the wrong head. I hope they listen to your council and learn for themselves. if it looks like a leopard, smells like one and act like one, then run away!!!!

Thanks for sharing, Pea. I have gotten stuck with the dinner bill when I was in China. Honestly the bill came to $45 USD and it fed 10 adults and a few children and there were 10 1 liter bottles of beer on the table. You can't get 10 12oz bottles of beer for that price here in the states. Thing is everyone that ordered a beer ended up with 2 and I noticed this everywhere I went. I guess it was a cultural thing. I don't really drink all that much I prefer to be fully cognizant at all times. I don't know about someone asking me to get them pregnant. I am out of the baby making business, I had a vasectomy back in the 1990's. Anyway I prefer someone who already has children and have retired from baby making.

For me, it has nothing to do with the cost. It's all about the "expectation." If they don't even ask if it's ok PRIOR to coming out, it's really rude. And then being lavish because it's not their money is another thing I don't like.

As a Filipina speaks 5 languages it's easy to express your reaction or emotion to your mother tongue. That's why it's hard to speak in English when you're angry I just say "Ay ambot! *****" Language barrier is difficult so that we appreciate foreigner's learning our language, because not all Filipinos can speak English.

[@brian_atc]

@Lil Miss Jean, you took the words right out of my mouth. A lot of Americans feel like they qualify as the most important person in the room and expect to be catered to to the point of not ALLOWING everyone else to speak their mother tongue. My first language challenge was when I was stationed in Germany. So I took a couple German language classes and it made my assignment in Berlin much better than I could've imagined. I'd recommend either learning the language, not going along or realizing it's not all about him. Pretty sure one of those options would be much more appreciated than all of them having to speak English for him. Just saying...
