    Hi all, just thought I would say hi.
    I've been in a relationship with a filipino since September 2020. I am going to move there once they open for tourist again... Whenever that may be.

    Not in person, but we are video calling for 15 hours a day ever day since we met... I don't need to meet her to now she is the one to move across the other side of the world for.

    Well hopeful Duturd-e wont be in power that long....If is daughter is elected, there may not be much people left in there due to unemployment and poverty. The country cannot last till 2023...its already on its knees.

    Inside or out? (your good lady will understand the pinoy joke :D).
    There's posters going up in Davao at this moment regarding her election campaign, pinoy political dynasty style.

    Yeah I saw the posters on reddit...she was getting dicks drawn on her face and what looked to be cow manure smeared across it. You know she will just be a puppet for her father.

    :welcome: simon83 ;)
    Yes, as bigmac said, the word endings come from the Spanish language - "o" is masculine and "a" is feminine
    but in plural when there are many, they are filipinos :like:
    Clear as mud :lol:

    http://www.hawaii.edu/cps/filipino.... hand, Pilipino,or to their national language.

    Whilst Extending a warm welcome on our site, I feel slightly disturbed by your statement of this rental for someone you do not know personally, and I think I should warn you to be very cautious with your money...
    Most probably, after all the marathon online chats, you have grown feeling for the lady....

    I would thread with caution from now on, and ask leading questions if suddenly one emergency or other has occurred, and needs money to sort out..

    I wish you all the best and happiness in your future in the Philippines.

    Hi simon83,

    I hope you don't mind me saying this but it would be far better to travel over to meet her when you can.
    The Philippines is a nice country but it is so different from the UK and if you are planning to live there, you should go to stay for a few months first to see the lay of the land.
    It is possible to fall in love online but there are so many reasons to hang back for a while.
    Being non-Filipino, you could be fleeced by many people who could see you as a walking ATM machine and it will take many months to see the country in many different lights; good and bad.

    Yeah I understand...and trust me I know when im being fleeced. I have met her non filipino friends...her sister and her mum online. I will move over there for a few months and we will then move to California to where he mum lives as she wants to spend some time with her mum.

    Ah, if you're only going there for a few months, then that is a holiday.
    The thread title was "moving" ;)
    Have fun.

    It will be useful to at this time start researching her visa requirements for the States!

    Yeah she already is gathering the requirements... We are not sure when we are going but it will most likely be next year now at some point.
