0:03 We Filipinas are very overthinkers, but we provide for our families and have a goofy personality that you can vibe with. We have a good life and hold it easy.
0:15 I'm Hazel Deo Amigo. I'm from Asian College, and I studied at Asian College. I'm 19 years old.
0:33 What do you think about the idea of dating foreigners? I guess it's complicated because I have a stepdad. My mom and my stepdad broke up about a month ago, and I really don't know what happened to the relationship. Mom is not opening up with me about it, but I have a gut feeling sometimes because my stepdad was having difficulties understanding my mom's side. That's why, for me, I think it's complicated to have a partner as a foreigner or American.
1:30 So, you think it's easier for a Filipino to date a fellow Filipino person? Well, I think it depends on the person. For a person like me, I think it's difficult because I know I saw my mom's difficulties she faced with dating my stepdad. That's why for me, it's difficult.
2:11 Do you have any friends that have dated foreigners? Yes, I know some. What is your suggestion for foreigners who are curious about dating a Filipina, who they've never met a Filipino before, but they want to know what they should keep in mind?
2:26 We Filipinos are very overthinkers, you know that. My advice to foreigners or Americans who want to date Filipinas is to have very, very long patience because, as I've said, we are very overthinkers. I know that some foreigners or Americans are very protective of the girl they love.
3:36 What is your suggestion for a foreigner who wants to find a good Filipino? What kind of qualities should he be looking out for? What should he be looking for in a good Filipina he wants to find his future wife? Of course, beauty is a given. Also, a genius and someone who has respect, of course. It's very common that all... no, not money. Some Filipino girls are into money, but I'm not suggesting they should be with a Filipina whose mindset is like that. So, I guess it's beauty, brains, and respect for the family.
4:36 How about if a foreigner is not the best-looking? Can they still date a Filipina? It depends on the Filipina. Also, there's nothing wrong with the outside or physical appearance. If the guy or the American or the foreigner has a good personality and vibe, then I guess it will click eventually, even though it's not a good-looking guy. So, there are other qualities that are more important.
5:13 How important is it for Filipinos to meet a guy who is financially stable? It's very important because, you know, Filipinas are looking for very stable men so that they can provide the wants and needs of that person.
5:48 You mentioned wants and needs. What are the basics that a Filipino would want from a guy? Not necessarily the fancy stuff, but what is the average Filipina's basic requirements for a guy, whether it be a Filipino guy or a foreigner? To provide for their family, the family of their own, and the family of... I know it's not their obligation, but it has been, I guess, tradition or yeah, it has been traditionally the guy will provide for their family and for the family of the girl.
6:35 Do you think Dumaguete is a good place for a foreigner to find a girlfriend? Of course, it is. Dumaguete has a lot of women or girls that are very good-looking and goofy. They have a goofy personality that you can vibe with. So, I guess yes, here in Dumaguete, you can find any girl or any woman that you want.
7:08 What should foreigners know about Filipino culture before they date a Filipino? Courtship. I guess other countries also have that. But 'pananampalataya' is like when the guy wants to marry the girl. Before that, the guy must have the blessing of the girl's family. That's one thing of Philippine culture. Or before they date a Filipino girl, he/she must ask her parents.
8:18 Last question: Would you date a foreigner? No, because I have a boyfriend. Yes, I have a boyfriend. Good on you for respecting your commitment. Everybody watching, you're probably going to want to find her. She's actually a committed woman, but I had to call that out because everybody's going to be asking me in the comments, 'Is she single?' Yeah, they should know she's committed. I am committed.
8:43 Any final words for our audience? Just have a good life, and you know, Filipinas are the best. Just have a good and happy life.
9:08 Nice to meet you tonight, Hazel. Thank you so much for your time. You guys will see it when I edit it and upload it. Okay, thank you so much.
