I was told by my Filipino friends that in general they don't mix with the locals and they don't marry Filipinas. Unlike kanos who do marry Filipinas and do become member of Filipino families. Filipinos should keep that in mind when they criticize Americans without any sense.Attilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06669976067539551920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-2567901365011758742011-11-16T19:56:17.405+08:002011-11-16T19:56:17.405+08:00Attila, to answer your last question first, I thin...Attila, to answer your last question first, I think the US is fun to criticize as the "biggest dog on the block", for it is common within Filipino society to raise oneself up by tearing someone else down. So ripping the US makes people feel really jolly and big.<br /><br />As to why Japan and Korea are active in the underage sex market, I can only guess. For one thing, these are substantially racially pure societies, so Japanese and Koreans can't come here with the same intent as most Americans, to find a (properly aged) girl friend or wife. Koreans or Japanese couldn't easily bring a Filipino wife back to the home country while Americans are racially diverse and mix more easily. And if you from a closed society, and are going to sneak out, why not go for the erotically kinky, the young ones? Sex is sex; no emotions attached. No morals, too, if you are racist and believe a Filipino is a lesser being.The Society of Honorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536906267332687130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-24962003829410597772011-11-16T11:59:26.653+08:002011-11-16T11:59:26.653+08:00Speaking of some Oriental influence on the Philipp...Speaking of some Oriental influence on the Philippines. Interestingly even today Americans are often labeled as sex tourist and even worse: as pedophiles. A friend of mine a Filipina living in New York did a paper on sex tourism in the Philippines using resources at the United Nations library where she had full access to all type of information, research, statistics etc. She was surprised to find out that most sex tourist for underage girls are from Japan. She also said that American nationals are closer to the bottom of the list and the Japaneses are by far the most responsible for it. She mentioned that it is not covered by the Philippine media and she thinks it is a cover up for some economical or political reasons. Americans overall are on the bottom of the list of sex tourism in the Philippines. We are beaten by the Koreans by a long shot and also by the Australians and Europeans as well. She told me that the Orientals often do it secretly keeping a low profile. I wander what is behind the anti American propaganda or the lack of criticism towards Japan and Korea?Attilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06669976067539551920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-59384751290684836362011-11-16T05:39:53.908+08:002011-11-16T05:39:53.908+08:00Attila, you make some excellent points.

Maybe we should dump the tourism budget into education.The Society of Honorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536906267332687130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-55429894227865217652011-11-16T05:18:49.073+08:002011-11-16T05:18:49.073+08:00The Filipinas prefer white men over any other race...The Filipinas prefer white men over any other races other than their own. The population of the Philippines is growing and it seems to be out of control. That means more Filipinas will compete for less kanos in the futere. The number of the whites around the world are not increasing but decreasing. I don't see how tourism could be able to attract more whites. Probably Koreans Chinese or Japanese tourist could be attracted. Philippines will have some competitors also from Vietnam and Cambodia. I see a nation that is going to be more desperate in the future than now. They western heritage could also be at stake if they will be more and more influenced by those Oriental countries.Attilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06669976067539551920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-82511516782376832592011-11-16T04:56:42.595+08:002011-11-16T04:56:42.595+08:00A realistic tourist program?

Flying with children 20 hrs is not an option for Americans. Some scuba divers and some sex tourist and some lonely guys looking for Filipina wife are going there. It is ironic that even the sex tourist are having now better choices close by as some South American countries like Colombia, Costa Rica, Brazil etc. are becoming more American friendly. They are also very inexpensive.Attilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06669976067539551920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4855856123871700301.post-9514319631332091662011-11-15T09:21:24.465+08:002011-11-15T09:21:24.465+08:00brianitus.
