They don't tell you that your stupid very much.

They save on hot water.

Your in-laws are a long way off.

You only understand about half of what they say so it's easy to ignore them.

When they want to buy something, all you need to do is tell them how much it costs in pesos.

They know how to wash clothes even without a Maytag.

They don't complain when you're cutting in and out of traffic.

When they're doing tampo you can watch football or do just about anything and they won't interupt you.
Should I expect to hear about a death by Bolo in the news soon? If you need to you can stay at my place tugar.

just take this friendly advice my friends....we may be are some of the qualities you have mentioned but be warned.....that we are also humans like anyone else... sometimes we can just take so much of everything...do you expect us to be saints?

there is always room for improvements...just in case...and tolerance may be at high...abuse can be avoided. What we need is understanding and love. this way we give back what is due.

"Can anyone say anything about why do foreigners choose Filipinos for their wives"

Because the Philippines is a 3rd world country and they are taught that the only way to a good life is to marry a foreigner. The foreigner knows this and that's why he looks for the Filipina.

Win Win for both.

I actually thought about writing that, but decided not to as most here wouldn't get the humor, since it's kind of an "inside" joke. lol
