I am an American Pastor by the way who lives in the Philippines-I am not Filipino. I just read a question asking if Filipino men who stay at home (house husband) are weaklings.
*For the Most Part* 1. I have noticed when a family cannot send "all" children to school, the Filipina is given the advantage to go. 2. If one child must work to send seblings to school/help feed the family, it is the male child who chooses or is picked to go to work at the very young age. 3. When I ask a male child how he feels about working to send his sisters/brothers to school/feed his family. He smiles, looks at me with grate pride and announces he is a MAN-that's what men do. 4. When I ask a female child the same question, she bends her head in shame and cannot/willnot answer or begins to cry. (I am talking about the pain she feels, not that she cries).
But yet I see the filipina Look Down and belittle the un-educated filipino. Why does this seem to be the norm?
Do you think HE feels pain also?
