    I should think they need to look at more local men who marry fillipina as they are the ones that usually run off after they hear the word pregnant!
    There are good and bad in all cultures I know but I think we all know why fillipina girls like to marry foreigners apart from financial security!





    In line with this, the measure seeks to amend the current Section 21 of the Family Code of the Philippines by adding the following: “...when the male contracting party is a foreigner, in addition to the certificate of legal capacity, a certificate of good moral character and a certificate of gainful trade, business, employment or other lawful source of income issued by his diplomatic or consular official, must be submitted before a marriage license can be obtained.”

    The way i se it this will only lead to people just living together and the children from these relataonships will the ones disavantaged. I have had many expats say to me why get married in a country that has no divorce.

    So how many foreigner will just say "f*ck it" literally and forget to get married, just having live-in partners. Isn't that part of the culture here?

    If they looked at the local men very few may qualify under these requirements. So Shabu dealers could not longer get married if they required "certificate of legal capacity, a certificate of good moral character and a certificate of gainful trade, business, employment or other lawful source of income."

    It is too bad that foreigners have gained such a bad reputation :wink: that the Filipinas have to be protected from the male foreigners. Is there a possibility of a law to immediately annul a marriage when fraud is involved on the Filipinas' part? That could solve a lot of problems.

    Exactly. You never know what might happen. Being able to get divorced is a must. If they don't like the word "divorce" they should just call it a dissolution. I don't care if the church won't recognize a divorce, the state should see it for what it is.....a contract.

    The amount of single women here is unreal, many we have asked over the past few years where is your husband. Always the same answer, he left with another woman. Does he support the kids, not a hope in hell!
    Most foreigners who are long term here who are married settle with the same girl and get married and have kids or even bring up their partners kids. But never does this government see this side of the coin.
    Maybe they should take a look at their marital laws before enforcing more bullshit laws on foreigners again!

    LOL No it is a standing joke in this House, I often tell them that I will take her to the Bookshop by The BOI and swap her, That way I can get a new one each Extension,

    She didn't get it at First but things get easier to explain if I draw Pictures. :blackeye: Not sure I need the retraining issues now though:jawdrop: Devil you know springs to mind.:singing:

    :shifty: One day, there is going to be a Foreigner with deep enough Pockets to take this Government to task on these blatant Anti Human Rights Issues. What is good for one is good for all, :whistling: Mr President has Forgotten (proud Filipino that he is) just what he signed up for when telling the World, "Look what I have done for my people" they now have Human Rights But it's not open to Foreigners.:smuggrin:

    I know several foreigners here who support their x wife/partner on a voluntary basis and know one also who pays $2000 month to support his kids,he also bought a house for her.
    It bugs me when this country cannot see beyond the end of their nose or pretend not too see what is really wrong with their system.
    Maybe we should send mr president to a western country for a while and send him around a few government offices like the csa (child support agency) in the uk.
    If you don't pay there they will directly deduct from your wages or put a tie on your house if you own one. I'm sure someone told me in the u.s you can go to jail if you refuse to pay for your kids or support your x wife.
    These young lads who get these girls pregnant need to learn some responsibility but that's not going to happen any time soon due to most being mummy's boys.
    It's the women here who keep the family going and manage the money.
