This is true, but what might be the reason for that? There are plenty more Chinese than Filipinos in this world.Jonny Law wrote:... look at the fact in internet is filled with happily married Pinays and Whites.
The internet is surprisingly empty of happily married Chinese and Whites.
As far as I can see here in Japan, Chinese people prefer to marry Chinese - they are looking often when interested to relocate to find contact with overseas Chinese.
Chinese people, in far larger numbers than Filipinos settle down overseas almost everywhere and they create quickly something like a 'Chinatown' to meet each other in foreign countries for business but also for meeting each other.
Take a look to UK, Canada, USA, France etc. etc. Of course also here in Japan, like the very large ChinaTown in nearby Yokohama, not far from Tokyo.
I never heard something about a Filipino-town, and the only meetings here in Japan, despite the Philippine community is rather large (no. 4 of all foreigners after the Koreans, Chinese and Brazilians) are usually on Sunday in some churches, Catholic, or LDS etc.
Marriages etc. among Chinese, you will find something on the internet, but usually not in English language.
To prefer Chinese to English while talking about private matters is quite popular among many overseas Chinese.
Of course there are UK-Chinese and USA-Chinese etc. who cannot write/read Chinese anymore, but are native English speakers. However for them too, it is useful to learn some Chinese if they look for contacts with mainland-China.
Philippine people however are using English often and do not mind to talk to foreigners of different ethnic background for marriage, that's maybe the reason you find quite a lot of references about them on the internet.
It should be noticed that many Western social websites are blocked in China, but in Philippines this is not the case.
