That there remain a few good people - even ones worth searching for - is irrelevant. Once good cultures cease, they are forever ruined. This is our end of days. All that is good dies. All that is evil draws from its infinite wellspring. If humanity had any sense it would have made good cultures proliferate. But it chose destruction and ruin. Not my doing, but I won't sit by and play the good guy anymore.
They deceived me. They convinced me to trust and then betrayed that trust. Theirs will be the ninth Circle of Hell. That is the ultimate sin. I looked for a good girl and found that anyone can put on an act. And, as they do, in turn, so will I. I will be a little bit of karma come to that cesspool.
Well you did give it a good go. Unfortunately, you were not prepared to deal with the Philippines.
First of all, the Philippines is a corrupt and failing culture. Corruption indexes all justly place the Philippines as one of the more corrupt countries. Intel left the Philippines. Lots of reasons were given.
That was PR. The reason I heard off the record from regional management was simple. Overwhelming
corruption at every turn made it impossible for Intel to function in the way they need to function to succeed.
The government is shot through with graft and corruption at every level, from barangays to the Malacañang. Theft is not quite elevated to the national fine art as in Mexico, but it is close.
It is not easy for an honest person to function in the Philippines.
Individually, I would say this systemic corruption reaches into the majority of families.
>>>The moral shell is taught, but not the practice. Make a note on this point.
Anyone who tells you that it is easy for a foreigner to function in the Philippines, or easy to find a good girl there is simply misleading you. With many years there, I can be a witness to that being a fact. If you are looking for a GF or wife, the Philippines is NOT for beginners.
Against that backdrop, what is one to think of those girls who come from good families, whose parents raised them with good values. Girls who will not rip you off, but will add joy to your life.
They do exist, but a novice is almost certainly doomed to NOT finding one.
If you set out to the Philippines for these purposes without finding an experienced mentor, you are tempting fate. You did set yourself up for disaster. Had you been following "Outwest's Guide to Success with Filipinas", you would have bailed on the girl in question very early. The signs were there.
The bitterest thing is to be disappointed in your own judgement. I have been there and done that, my friend. It is very hard to swallow.
The majority of men going to the Philippines simply swim in the corruption themselves. They participate in it. It does not have to be that way.
There are ways to succeed in the Philippines. The rewards can be outstanding. There are some good traditions and some personality traits that can really shine in the right circumstances.
American men usually go to the Philippines with an unrealized arrogance shot through with illusions.
Really men, it IS another totally different country, and a troubled one at that. Do you really think that there can be some paradise with easy and lovely women (Most can't see the inconsistency there lol)
that are eager to meet foreign men, in a place that is cheap for the most part, but has solid cultural traditions to make it function smoothly and without corruption plaguing it?
What in the hell makes it a third world country dudes? Get a grip!
I am not picking on YOU really. You are legion. Unless men can get past the landmines, either by shear dumb luck, or through acquired insight from others, they are very very likely to crash and burn.
Some don't give up. They pick themselves up and find the lessons to be learned. I know of several like that.
You have a despair that needs healing. As you acknowledge, it is not just about the Philippines.
Don't give up. There are solutions and there are roads past the swamp.
If wisdom is easily or cheaply acquired, why do so very very few men have it?
Redemption is possible, and love exists. Even in the Philippines, there are girls who know what it means to love a man and to stand by him come hell or high water.
