And why are you interested in this section?
I will begin. I have three reasons:
1- I have a friend that went to live there and will be married soon. He has no computer and I regularly send him information that can help him.
2- I have learned so much of the Philippines because of this and I find it a fascinating place! I keep wanting to learn more :-)
3- My grandmother's second husband was from the Philippines. I saw him perhaps not more than three times when I was a very young little girl, because they lived in another country. What I remember very well besides his kind face, was that I would make him very angry. As a 6 or 8 year old girl, I used to ask him "Are you Chinese?", he would get very angry and tell me "NO I AM FROM THE PHILIPPINES", after a while it became a funny game, between us.

I am an American ex-pat in China. I have lived also in Japan and Korea. I have a Filipina girlfriend, who is very kind and beautiful. I have visited The Philippines a number of times and found the people and the islands lovely.

Boston Mark here. I just got back from Iligan City this past Tuesday and loved every second of my visit. I plan to marry the love of my life as soon as we get the visa thing done and live in both countries 6 months out of every year. I truly love the family unity in the Philippine culture. And how God is not a "4" letter word as it is sometimes treated here. May God bless you all!

I am not from the Philippines and I like this section. My girlfriend is from there and is coming to America soon so we can be together. I am an American who used to live in Asia (Japan and Korea) so I met lots of Filipinos. I think they are very kind people. I've also visited the country and I think it is a great place!

Another Aussie here.
I don't have a particular interest in the Philipines section but saw your question so I came in to answer.
Remember that your question is posted in the "TRAVEL" section and it is seen by people around the world. As I am a "regular" user, I see your question as asking people to tell you where they are from. So, here I am!
