Firstly, we do not conduct so called Philippine marriage tours, but introduction tours. We make the introduction as any friend may introduce you to a women. What follows up is between you and that other person.
There is one site that seems to be portraying it's self as some kind of international service about "protecting" abused women in Asia etc, although their bottom line seems to make money. We are not quite sure what their agenda is? This site has a page that a person wrote who seems to be affiliated with this service and he describes the Philippine women as being no good gold diggers, and prostitutes. He further goes on that they are mostly just after your money and emotionally confused or unstable! Hey, there are many American women who fall into that category also, as well as women from all over the world and men too! He goes on to say; in his community he knows of 13 men who married Filipinas and 8 of them got taken to the cleaners, their wives engaged in prostitution, took their money etc, etc. Where did these men meet these women, in bikini bars prostituting on the street or a brothel! Were they starving the women? Most likely falling in love {so they think!} on the chat. We have discussed on other parts of our site, the dangers of rushing into a romance and commitments with women before you really know her. This holds true for women anywhere. We mention on our site the You're in love with the first pretty Filipino girl you see or meet syndrome" This service is offering for a large fee to investigate your Filipina Fiancée or girl friend. The only way a girl can be investigated is with a police check which is about 200 Peso or about $4.00. The only real way she can be investigated besides the police check is to be investigated in the area she lives with inquires and observances etc. This has to be done in a stealthy way that she will never know the investigation is going on. If she does turn out to be legitimate and knows you have had her investigated, it could destroy your relationship. This is the only effective way it can be done. We provide a service to investigate your Filipina girl friend or Fiancee with backgroend checks with qualified Filipino personal, but only in a few cities where we have reliable investigators such as Manila, Cebu, Cagayan de Oro, Davao, Ormoc and the immediate suburbs. It would be impossible for us to offer this service all over the Philippines unless we contract with investigators we do not know and we do not want to take the chance and waste your money. We charge $250.00. With only a police check, she can be the biggest scammer in the world and have no record as not having a police record does not mean you are clean, especially on the Internet
Many men are not being realistic when they meet women and not being able to see the forest through the trees! We go into this in detail in other areas of our site also. We know of many men who propose marriage over the internet before ever seeing the women in person. These are the marriages that will often fail. How stupid can one be to propose marriage like this? We are so sick of hearing about these men crying how they were taken advantage by Filipinas, South American and Russian women. Men have to learn how to use their brain and think with it instead of another part of their body!! Your dealing with 3rd world countries and you will find SOME of these people are desperate and doing wrong things to advance. Than again, you can look for a partner in the U.S. and is this what you want? How much different will it be? You will find bad and greedy women there also who just want more and more!
In all the years we have been in this business, we have never had feed-back about situations like this site describes between American men and their Filipina wives at least not the women from our service. This sites bottom line seems to be for you to pay their fee and they will help you avoid the evil Philippine and foreign women with backround checks! Give us a break! YOU CAN NOT RUN BACKGROUND CHECKS ON FILIPINOS FROM OVER-SEAS EFFECTIVELY. Talk about scaming money! It never eludes us what falsehoods people will say to make money! A survey found a less than 20% divorce rate with Fil-Am marriages after 5 years compared to over 50% of American with American marriages after 5 years.... What does that tell you?
There is another site that runs sex tours to the Philippines. He also runs sex tours to Thailand and supposed marriage tours. This person has a page that reeks with false and misleading information about Philippine introduction tours and really insulting comments about Filipina women. They make completely untrue statements as being fact. We suspect they are desperately trying to drive customers to their Thailand tours. They state there was a tour operator who organized tours to the Philippines and received a jail term of 7 years in prison for running an introduction tour. Who was that? We have never heard of such a thing! What is this persons name? No operator has ever gone to jail unless he was involved with something not relating to the introducing of women to foreign men or not following the law. For instance, you can not introduce women to men from countries where women have no or minimal rights, such as middle eastern countries. We can tell you this; if the authorities knew the owners of this sex tour site was in the Philippines at any time, he would be arrested for running sex tours there. Sex tours are also illegal in Thailand and the Thai authorities are cracking down and jailing the organizers agents and customers. Most operators of Philippine introduction tours run them legally, meeting all the requirements. This site also states that all the Philippine women you meet or most of them are scheming to either get your money or whose main desire is to gain U.S. entry. This site states the following ridiculous inaccurate statements as some others do also ;
There is such an overwhelming desire for Filipino women to migrate to America, that it becomes very hard to judge the sincerity of these women. They will tell you anything so they can get to the U.S. They go underground soon after they arrive in the U.S. or stay married to you for two years and then get a divorce so they are able to stay as legal residents;
FALSE. As with any third world country there will always be opportunists and gold diggers with dishonest intentions. Men who usually marry women like this are meeting them in Chat rooms and other sites. Some travel to the Philippines on their own and fall for the first pretty face and do not use their common sense. They fall in the trap of, "You're in love with the first pretty Filipino girl you see or meet syndrome"
Most Filipinas are fairly religious Catholic or Church of Christ members and if you do not practice their faith it becomes a problem;
FALSE. Filipinas are amazingly not just tolerant that you may be a non-Catholic; they are very unconcerned about this factor and plays no factor. Never in all these years, have we ever heard of this being a problem!
No matter how humble their background in the Philippines, they have sort of an matriarchal society at home and you will find that your Philippine wife becomes very bossy at home and you might have to explain things to her like why you arrived home from work 20 minutes late, etc. etc. etc;
FALSE. Filipinas are quite docile and not bossy. Are they possessive, yes, are they Jealous, yes also. They are jealous of you having an eye for other women. That we sure admit too, as are mostly all Asian women.
You will find that your Filipina wife will leave you no peace until you try to bring over every living relative they have-parents, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles, etc;
FALSE. There may be some Filipinas who may want to bring one or some members of their family to the U.S., but this is mostly done by Filipinos working in the U.S. Many times a Filipina, who has children and marries a foreigner, will leave her children in the Philippines with her family as so to be a burden on her Husband. Further more she must wait until she is a citizen in about 5 years before she can bring her parents to the U.S. and that is if she wants to or her parents want to. Only her parents or children are eligible anyway. Than of course there is a wait of many years if ever a visa is approved for her parents. Aunts, Uncles and other relatives are not eligible anyway.
Not scientific, but probably accurate, I would say that no more than 45-50% of US. Filipina marriage is successful.
FALSE. FIL-AM marriages have a divorce rate under 20% compared to over an over 50% divorce rate of American/American marriages. This is born out of the few studies that have been made in recent years. Shortly we will post these references
Another company running marriage tours in a northern Philippine city talks about marriage tour scams in The Philippines. They state that some services push a certain few girls on you that they are friends of and are trying to get those married and this will await you with a doomed marriage. We have never heard of any service doing this and if they do try to help a few women by giving them access to men coming on a tour, so what? If you do not like them, you do not like them! You move on to the next women. It just amazes us what some services will do to attract business. Most services like ours are basically honest and are NOT scams. They just have a different way of facilitating the introduction process. We, feel we do it better than the others as are over 95% success rates testify to.
There are good and bad women and men everywhere. We have never heard of these kinds of problems between are male clients and the women they choose to marry through our service. The kind of service we run is not conducive for attracting gold diggers with our style of introductions. This is not the kind of environment that would help facilitate women with insincere intentions. Most of the women introduced to the men on our tours meet with each man once or twice. There are dozens of women that each man meets while he is here. This would not allow her enough time to fool a man or set him up in a scheme to deceive him. Our male clients end up choosing only a few of the women they meet who they feel chemistry with to concentrate on and continue with more dating out of the dozens they are introduced to.
Remember, a third world country will have some desperate people who do dishonest things things such as Russia, Ukraine, South American, Philippines etc. You have to use common sense and look at the women beyond her pretty face as many men seem not to be able to do. If you do this correctly you will find what you are looking for. If you do not like the work involved, than you can look in first world countries like the U S A, Europe etc. Is that what you want?
