My niece is the Tanduay Rum poster girl
For the local festival that lasts a week in Naga City.
Great gal good morals, speaks perfect English and just a joy to be around, and like the rest of the girls in the family, drop dead gorgeous.
She has won a few beauty pageants and swimsuit competitions, all the rest of the nieces and her friends her age have gotten married and have kids, but she wants uncle Roachcreek to find her a American husband just like her auntie married. 😛
When I get to the Philippines all the nephews and nieces regardless of age, line up from oldest to youngest and bow to me taking my hand and putting it to their brow in a sign of elder respect. Then they take me to the rest house and bring me a full size color TV, ice water and one stands behind me and fans me with a palm leaf.
I refer to myself as the pharaoh.
The cultural custom for women in her family is to serve their men, literally, in the evenings we sit around and drink the local liquor and tell fishing and hunting lies and the gals serve us spicy sea food.
It is a dark and lonely job but someone has to do it.

Yeah being in a airplane is a necessity to marry and bring a Filipina through INS.
You can go to the Philippines but for a Filipino to come here is so very difficult to do due to 911 and our paranoia. To do the fiancé visa you have to go there and meet them, then come home and file for a visa. It takes around 2 months to process and then they can come here, once here you have two months to decide to marry them or not. If you marry them you are responsible for supporting them for two years.
These gals by culture prefer older men, 50 to 30 or so, for they have the money to support their children when they arrive, and in the Philippines that is simply a matter of survival and has been for generations. Without exception the Filipino American couples I know have at least 15 to 20 years age difference or more. The marriages have a better track record than American/American marriages according to statistics, perhaps because of the commitment to get hem here.
My wife and I are 16 years apart, my friend I set up has a age difference of 22 years, but I was engaged to a 18 year old when I was 57 and the family had no problem with my age.
My friend when he arrived in Manila to meet the gal he had found and we had vetted for him, was met by my sister-in-law at the airport hotel and she took him to a secure and guarded Catholic dormitory and arranged a meeting with the family, introduction and chaperoned dates which by culture is the norm with good Filipino girls, she did this because he was my friend, no questions asked. My wife and I stood up for them at their wedding and we go dancing almost every weekend together. He was retired and simply went back and lived with his soon to be wife until she got her visa, he loves to party and dance and found Manila to be a Honky Tonk heaven, but she soon took him to the country and they rented a house and relaxed until her visa came. They are going back again this winter, but going to the country to relax, seems he liked that life better than the dance bars in Manila, which is odd for he loves to party. 😛
Honey had a 52 year old American who was pretty well off wanting to take her traveling, but I contacted the guy and found out he traveled every 6 weeks or so to asia and fit the profile of a predator that preyed on the young Asian girls. Being a gal who feels that her first man should be her last she told him no, and he still flew there and he met her and her mother.
She told him no thanks.
My wife cut from the same cloth is simply the finest person I have ever known, and I have know a lot of people especially women. 😕
But I am proud of Honey and do look after her, she is more of a daughter to me than a Niece. I put her through two years of college.
Charlie: I have never been in an airplane and I don’t plan on being in one. You can call it fear of flying or just being chicken shit, whatever, I don’t see it happening!
Now, if you could arrange Honey to fly to Oregon, I would pay for the airfare and drive out to meet you and her.
She is beautiful and would probably decrease my lifespan by a whole bunch of years.
I don’t necessarily think that dying younger and happy would be a bad thing!
