This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Show your Filipina sweetie that you give a damn. Filipino writers have no idea how Filipina wives compare to western wives or what foreigners need to know when they visit the Philippines. Read this detailed cultural and social guide for western men written by an award-winning journalist who has been married to a Filipina for more than 20 years and has lived in the Philippines. It's easy to fall in love chatting with a Filipina online, but you need to understand who she is before you go to the Philippines. She'll likely be a terrific young wife, loving and loyal, a trophy, but you need to learn how she's different from western women. How does she think? What she will expect of you? She has grown up in another culture. Learn how Filipino customs and attitudes are different from the west. It will help make things easier for you and for her. The Philippines is a developing country. It's easy for foreigners to get jammed up there by hustlers who prey on ignorance. Learn what to expect to avoid getting ripped off. Know in advance how to get around, about local customs and how to order food. Learn local dating customs and how to behave when you're out with her in public. Learn what not to do so her friends and relatives will respect you, and she'll be proud of you, not embarrassed by you. If you've prepared yourself, if you know what to expect, it will be a far more comfortable experience. You can concentrate on your sweetie and enjoy your visit without worrying about screwing up. Her family may want a preposterously fancy, expensive wedding that you'll be expected to pay for. Are you ready for that? What should you expect when you visit them at their home? You're essentially marrying into a family, not just an individual as it is done in the west. Loyalty to her family and many relatives has consequences that you'll have to accept. Prepare yourself by knowing about the consequences in advance. You're going to need a whole lot of good luck if you're too cheap to buy a straightforward, clearly-written guide to understanding Filipinas and the Philippines. You'll be spending a lot of money flying there and risking your future happiness, so don't be so preposterously dumb as to avoid spending a few bucks to learn what's ahead. The cost of this book is pocket change, peanuts compared the painful emotional and financial costs of a marital misadventure. You may have fallen in love with her chatting online. Learning about her culture likely won't cause you to change your mind about her, but she'll respect you for taking the time to learn about her country and its habits and values. It's the mark of a thoughtful potential husband. When you visit the Philippines, you'll come off as being more intelligent and cosmopolitan than an uncomprehending dolt and potential mark. Make her proud of you.

Download or read book Philippine Culture Manual for Foreigners written by Bob Martin and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-30 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The culture of the Philippines is very much misunderstood by foreigners. Many people from other countries think that the culture in the Philippines is very similar to western culture. After all, the Philippines was ruled by the Spanish for 400 years, followed by nearly 50 years of American rule. Of course the culture would have been influenced by the west, and thus the Filipino way of thinking and acting would be very western. Wrong. It doesn't take long of living in the Philippines to realize how wrong that thinking is. The fact is that the culture of the Philippines is very complex, and also very different from western cultures. It is not easy for foreigners to understand, even after years of living in the Philippines. At the time of this writing, I have lived in the Philippines for nearly 15 years, and I feel that I have a pretty good understanding of Philippine culture, but it took many years to gain that knowledge. In fact, I was able to gain a lot of understanding of Philippine culture because I had a private tutor who taught me how to speak Bisaya (one of the Philippine languages), and she also spent significant time explaining Philippine culture to me as part of the courses. In this book, I will lay out the tenets of the culture of the Philippines for you. I will also give you some real life examples of Philippine culture at play, and how I dealt with the various real life situations. I truly believe that learning these cultural lessons is a big factor in enjoying a good life in the Philippines. If you try to live in the Philippines without an understanding of the things in this book your life will be a constant series of frustration, misunderstanding in dealing with Filipinos and a general unhappiness with living in the Philippines.

Book excerpt: Filipino Americans are one of the three largest Asian American groups in the United States and the second largest immigrant population in the country. Yet within the field of Asian American Studies, Filipino American history and culture have received comparatively less attention than have other ethnic groups. Over the past twenty years, however, Filipino American scholars across various disciplines have published numerous books and research articles, as a way of addressing their unique concerns and experiences as an ethnic group. The SAGE Encyclopedia of Filipina/x/o American Studies, the first on the topic of Filipino American Studies, offers a comprehensive survey of an emerging field, focusing on the Filipino diaspora in the United States as well as highlighting issues facing immigrant groups in general. It covers a broad range of topics and disciplines including activism and education, arts and humanities, health, history and historical figures, immigration, psychology, regional trends, and sociology and social issues.

Download or read book Out of this Struggle written by Luis V. Teodoro and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2019-09-30 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his preface, Danilo E. Ponce describes this book as an "unblinking look at Filipino history in Hawaii." Written from a Filipino viewpoint, the book commemorates seventy five years of collective existence of this ethnic group in the Aloha State. It examines Filipino experience in Hawaii in the context of Philippine history and culture. This is not a simple book, for its subject is complex. For example, there were three waves of Filipino immigration to Hawaii — each wave bringing people of differing socio-economic, educational, and geopolitical backgrounds. It would be misleading to speak of one homogeneous group called "Filipinos" being affected at any given time. Implicit in Out of This Struggle is the human drama that underlies events. Hawaii's need for labor promised the Filipinos the possibility of bettering their economic status, but plantation wages proved so low that entire families needed to work to live, limiting their access to education. Out of this frustration came their active and telling role in the organization of the IL WU and the labor strife of the 1920s. As Hawaii's Filipinos look to the future beyond 1981, they find in their community many and varied elements-proof of vitality, of a community trying to identify issues, examine events, and understand itself. Out of This Struggle will contribute to that understanding. This book is one of the projects of the Filipino 75th Anniversary Commemoration Commission, which was created by the 1977 Hawaii State Legislature, through Enabling Act 181, to oversee the year-long celebration of the arrival of the first Filipinos in Hawaii in 1906. The idea of the Commission itself came from a group called the Hawaii Filipino-American Community Foundation, which, as early as 1976, had thought of the need to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Filipino immigration to Hawaii not only through ceremony, but more appropriately, through more permanent means. One of these means was to be a book which would give its readers some understanding of what the past 75 years have meant for the Filipinos in Hawaii. At the same time, 'the members of the Foundation felt that such a book would adequately mirror the changes that have taken place in the Filipino community, as well as lay to rest the prevalent view that the old stereotypes still apply. The members of the Education (Printed) Committee of the Commission, whose task was to oversee the production of this book, are, fittingly, also members of the Foundation.

Download or read book The Latinos of Asia written by Anthony Christian Ocampo and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “ groundbreaking book . . . is essential reading not only for the Filipino diaspora but for anyone who cares about the mysteries of racial identity” (Jose Antonio Vargas, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist). Is race only about the color of your skin? In The Latinos of Asia, Anthony Christian Ocampo shows that what “color” you are depends largely on your social context. Filipino Americans, for example, helped establish the Asian American movement and are classified by the US Census as Asian. But the legacy of Spanish colonialism in the Philippines means that they share many cultural characteristics with Latinos, such as last names, religion, and language. Thus, Filipinos’ “color” —their sense of connection with other racial groups—changes depending on their social context. The Filipino story demonstrates how immigration is changing the way people negotiate race, particularly in cities like Los Angeles where Latinos and Asians now constitute a collective majority. Amplifying their voices, Ocampo illustrates how second-generation Filipino Americans’ racial identities change depending on the communities they grow up in, the schools they attend, and the people they befriend. Ultimately, The Latinos of Asia offers a window into both the racial consciousness of everyday people and the changing racial landscape of American society.
