Why young Filipinas are marrying elder foreigners?
=======================================================
どんな理由でフィリピン人の女性が高齢者の外国人と結婚する?
最近、多くの外国人がかなりの年齢差のあるフィリピン出身の若い女の子と結婚していることに気づきました。これらの関係には多くの誤解があります。日本国籍のフィリピン人として、この問題について皆様に説明したかったです。
=======================================================
Today we will talk about the age gap of a marriage. Lately, I noticed on social media that many foreigners are marrying young girls from The Philippines with a considerable gap of age. Espousing elder foreigners becomes popular in South East Asia. I am not saying that it's bad but there are a lot of misunderstandings in these relationships. When the relation fails foreigners always blame Filipinas. It's too easy and unfair to put all the responsibility on uneducated and socially poor women. I believe I have to talk about it. I don't blame all the foreign men; there are always bad and good people in every country. But Filipinas are not the only ones who can be wrong in the relationship. Many women wrongly believe that foreign men are always wealthy. In general, they believe that whoever is living outside of The Philippines is very rich and that all the overseas Filipinas are all wealthy and have a great life abroad. The family of those expatriates has no idea how much the OFWs are suffering to send money back home. Filipinas abroad are financially responsible for every relative back home who are expecting a lot financially from them. Entire families are receiving money from overseas workers. Filipinas has a good heart. She wants to please every one of her family. The financial support is always extended not only to her own children but also to the kids of her relatives.
