Filipinos might just be the most accommodating people you’ll ever meet. In fact, they will ask you to come into their homes even before you can express your intentions for visiting.
(Don’t worry — they aren’t gullible or too lenient on their safety. It’s just a beautiful trait they all embody. And the world is better for it, we believe so.)
You will love her family for their warmth and generosity. And, if you’re lucky enough, you’ll get to know not only her parents and siblings but also the grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins if they are within the vicinity.
Obviously, now you have a home to return to after the visit. Also, it’s one of the sure signs that a Filipina likes you when you’re introduced to the clan.
2. It is always a feast.

Maybe you’ve heard about the Filipino food party where one table can serve a crowd? The boodle fight is not even an exaggeration; they do enjoy feeding their families and neighbors with all the blessings they’ve got.
When with a Filipina, expect three to four meals a day — all with heaps of rice and meat, paired with condiments to enhance the rich taste. Also, it is important to keep in mind that some Filipinos consider it rude to decline a meal offer, so be sure to work that appetite.
Sure there are concoctions you might haven’t heard of yet, but you must try them first before passing judgement. And what’s a feast without the ever-smiling guests?
Yes, only in the Philippines.
3. You will have to sing.

Have we mentioned that Filipinos are crazy talented as well? Among other fields where they excel, singing may be the one most associated with them. It’s as if belting and harmonizing are embedded in their genes.
Why? Maybe because it never fails to lift up their spirits in times of trials, or simply because it has long been part of Filipino culture. And it’s undoubtedly fun!
Don’t worry, though; she will not judge you if singing isn’t really at the top of your strengths. Again, as we’ve stated before, Filipinos only want you to have fun!
4. It’s vacation day every day.

There are more than 7,000 islands in the country and all are gems just waiting to be explored. From a bustling city scene to a laid back country experience, it’s literally paradise everywhere!
Reading that might make you think of the ungodly cost to visit such places — and that couldn’t be any further from the truth! As long as you plan properly and learn to truly immerse in the experience, you can enjoy the bounty of the Philippines without taking too much from the bank.
And here’s a real dating advice we are sure will be useful for you: Trust your date when she explains which places are worth the cost and which are not. Properly handling money matters? She’s got that.
Also, when you tour around, you should, at the very least, know what to say to a Filipina: “Salamat!” (“Thank you!”).
5. You can party all year long.
What’s better than partying with a Filipino woman? | Photo by Is the Philippines the best place ever or what? Yes, there will be festivals for every town, city and island, and each celebrates different things!

One thing to take note of: These events are usually in pairs with a symbolic rite centered on Filipinos’ faith. There will be time for prayers and solemnity as there will be for hitting the colored streets.
Act accordingly and everything will surely be a good time.
6. The number of languages they have.
Conversing with a Filipino woman is surely a unique experience. | Photo by They say a foreign trip is never complete if you don’t pick up a few local words while there.

Obviously, the language barrier won’t be a major issue!
At the same time, you will have a firsthand experience on the very unique and interesting customs they have that primarily involves their language. Learn about “po”/“opo,” “tagay,” “mahal ko” and more.
Maybe you’ll be a polyglot soon enough. Who knows? And why not?
7. You will never want to love anyone else.

By now, you’ve already experienced the extent of her love, care, patience and determination. You know that while she’s exceptionally kind, she’s not subservient.
