Sorry, but I must respectfully disagree with your statement. It is wrong to say that only desired men serve as relationship gatekeepers and that any woman may enter a relationship by lowering her standards. This phrase indicates that women have no choice in selecting their mates and that they are exclusively valued according to the criteria set by males. But don't get me wrong: I believe that women must lower their standards if they are too high and that they are unworthy of dating. In reality, relationships are formed through mutual attraction, compatibility, and respect between two individuals, regardless of gender. Both men and women have the freedom to pick who they want to be in a relationship with and what characteristics and standards they seek in a partner. Everyone deserves to be in a healthy and fulfilling relationship that meets their standards and values, regardless of gender.
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 nothing is wrong with what you said, only part that seem to be misunderstood is that part ( are exclusively valued according to the criteria set by males) when the gender is specified as the thing of high value in the context of intimate relationships it is always by the opposite gender's criteria and what they look for. and as nothing to do with a person's value to anyone else or society as a whole. example a nurse that helps save lives and pay tax is a person of high value but if she works 70 hours a week and wants no kids she is a low value woman(partner) to men that want kids. the problem in the west is many woman set their worth by society standard and not by what men want in a woman so they price themselves too high and end up with very high standards but the high value men they seek want other things in a relationship. i seen studies that show that by 2035 over 40% of woman in the USA will be childless and alone by 40 because of that.
@@subspace666 Heard that too and they deserve it. They are only interested in men who are over 6 foot and earn 6 figures plus. Problem is guys in that position are mostly players and will only use those try hard Bimbo's.
As a foreigner, it is my prayer that the people of the Phillipines never lose their values, your values is why I left the US, the people have become too selfish and decadent, don't let this happen to you and I promise as a foreigner to respect your traditions and I will never try to influence anyone in the ways that I had to escape from.
The problem that the internet media has destroyed a lot of the old values in every country. In Europe we already have it. It's a pity that it can't be stopped in the Philippines either. It is up to each individual to do their part to preserve traditional values. A very good youtube post!
hopefully we will fix this before it becomes an existential crisis for our species because when this happens morality and woman's rights will go out the window and we will be setback hundreds of years.
Thanks for watching. I do agree that the internet has brought about changes in our society, and it's sad to see that these younger generations aren't upholding traditional values anymore.
Mia, I'm so glad you brought up this topic. I noticed Filipino women are adopting U.S. values because they think it's better. There are consequences for these choices. Look at what's going on in America, China, Russia and Japan. These countries are suffering from the choices they have made. Hold onto those family values. A Filipino woman friend told me to get a woman from the province 30+ years old. She was right. We had an LDR for 2 years because of Covid. I came here in August 2022, got engaged, and moved back Dec. 2022. It was a real blessing from God. Keep sharing the good stuff because the world needs hope. When you give a person hope you have given them grace.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences on this subject. It's wonderful to learn that you've met a partner that shares your values and views. I think that maintaining family values is crucial and may give individuals and communities hope.
Mia - This is one of your best videos I have ever viewed. The question now is how are the traditions to be preserved and maintained so the values of the natives are never lost?
Thank you 🙂. That's a very good question. Traditions are highly significant to our cultural identity and history in the Philippines. That is what distinguishes us Filipinos. I believe that the only way to protect and keep it is to continue handing it down to the next generation, perhaps via education and practice. It might also be implemented in schools by teaching students about it.
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 Yes dear Mia - Those are some things that can help, However the power of social media has deep influence subliminally to it's consumers I say. Go back 50 years ago before any modern gadgets were among you. How was life then? Hast forward to now and listen to the echos of disappointment among elders and mid age natives such as yourself. (Things About us) are changing. or is it too late. Walk through the malls and areas of how influence can attract most. Just a thought based on your amazing speech about what's important there.
w a good teacher, compare and contrast examples can illustrate to kids the cause and effects of western feminism compared to trad woman on their futures, family and society so they can recognize the consequences of media trends they see and then make intelligent choices themselves over blindly letting western media dictate their choices. If you learn to think about what makes a better life young, youre more likely to avoid a hard life like feminism has created for women. Teachers and parents are critical here. These are principals that affect all whether religious or not. But personal convictions and accountability preserve a good direction.
Nice to see you again, Mia. I prefer the traditional filipina values, this is why so many of us choose to travel there and find a wife. Here in America, we somehow can't even define a woman, we have men who are now women compete against women and nobody can say boo or else face the violent left, we seem to love abortions, life is not so precious here, we can't look at a woman for more than 10 seconds, they call it sexual harassment somehow, if we get married here in the USA the chance of divorce is very high and this leads to the financial disaster we all know too well for the man, this is a large part of the reason we are not reproducing, etc...... So, my hopes are for the filipinas to remain as traditional for as long as possible. Thank you and have a lovely day.
Hello there! I understand why you admire traditional Filipina values and why traveling to the Philippines to find a bride could appeal to you. Ultimately, the most essential thing is finding a partner who shares your values and views and with whom you can establish a strong, healthy, and satisfying relationship. It is up to each person to choose what they want in a partner and to make educated decisions about who they want to be with. I wish you the best of luck in your search for love and happiness, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
Yes, there is no doubt that the Philippines is exposed to Western influence and globalization. It is normal for our way of life and values to grow and adapt as our society gets more linked and exposed to diverse cultures.
They are on TikTok and Facebook nonstop. The Filipinas I have interacted with over time have become more and more westernized over time. The best example are new Filipina vloggers.
Yes, social media sites such as TikTok and Facebook are quite popular in the Philippines, and they have undoubtedly affected society in many ways, including how individuals dress and behave. It's fascinating to see how these platforms may also act as a window to the outside world, exposing Filipinos to new cultures and ways of life.
If Filipinas become westernized, they will suffer the same fate as western women - extremely unhappy and alone. According to studies, western women are the most unhappy women on the planet. There are more antidepressants being subscribed than ever before. If you connect that with the fact that the Philippines doesn’t have the societal and financial safety nets that western countries have, it could get really bad in the Philippines - if the women develop western traits. These western traits would make them undesirable so eligible,productive, and valuable men would choose to go elsewhere to find a wife.
I just found your channel yesterday and have watched several videos already and I'm really liking your content. I was already considering returning to the Philippines, and your videos are starting to sway me even more to return😊
Mia you are so right... so young and yet so wise, it's hard to believe it... I hope the Philipines will never be poisoned by feminism... if it will be, then we're all doomed... I'll be living in Davao City with my Pinay and I hope feminism will not follow us...
@@suzanne-cq8pn feminism like in the usa can not happen everywhere , the global birth rate needs to stay over the death rate else we will face extinction and then feminism will be canceled.
@@suzanne-cq8pn I'm not sure what makes you think it comes with prosperity... The society in the US is spoiled and poisoned by feminist ideology and mentality... it's rotten at its very core the elemental unit of the society the couple as a family... The feminist effects are devastating in the US society... Delusional big fat asses females hitting the wall, lowest rates of marriage, highest rates of divorce, single parents raising dumb obese kids that end up useless members of the society able but unwilling to work, abusing drugs and alcohol, with significant mental health issues, incapable to make a real connection to someone and build a family, and more, much more than I could post here but there is no room for that... Where is the prosperity in that..??..,
My ex from Lapu Lapu had two more kids and when they visit 🇵🇭 their cousins are just like them. Once a cute Flipina moves to the 🇺🇸 they are westernized-my daughters cannot really relate to their mom as she is old school Flipina-also the extended Flipina family is changingin the 🇺🇸 as many kids move for college-career opportunities!
Wisdom like this will help so many people have a better understanding of their value in our changing societies. This is why its important to focus on bettering yourself. Staying on your life's purpose (goals, dreams, aspirations), and staying vigilant. Thank you for the video Mae
Interesting topic! My Filipina wife, I can say that the older she got the more she seemed to embrace her childhood values. We all try to adapt to the times. It’s said the only thing constant is change! My wife told me you appreciate your parents when we have children! Western values? Some good, some not so good. Thanks Dr Mia! You words are priceless, timeless.
Sir, I appreciate you sharing your personal experience. It's encouraging to learn that your Filipina has continued to adjust and cherish her childhood beliefs. True, we must adapt as times change, but it is also crucial to recognize and continue to appreciate our roots and traditions.
I am married to a BEAUTIFUL FILIPINA for almost 50 years! She has been a BLESSING to me! We are both Roman Catholic and that has been the focus of our marriage! My wife is a wonderful wife, wonderful mother, and a loving grand mother! I pray that the Filipina women do not change! I love my wife and I am truly grateful that my wife grew up very conservative!
Thanks Mia, I always enjoy your videos and have for a couple of years maybe. You are always well-spoken and always beautiful to look at. I would like to be with a Sweet woman like you when I am in the Philippines. Retiring and moving there in less than 6 months. Please Filipinas don't get Westernized so I can live for the first time and escape America feeling like crap trying to deal with women. Let me enjoy my last few years. I may sound like I am crying when I say stuff like this, but I am crying to God, I guess to take me off this Cross. Another Good Job Mia, much respect. Paul got him a good one. I look for similar luck.
I appreciate your support of my videos throughout the years and your nice compliments. I value your encouragement and support. I understand your desire to find a nice Filipina woman who upholds traditional values, and I really hope you are successful in finding the fulfillment and companionship you seek once you retire and settle in the Philippines. It's normal if you're frustrated about dating in America and the challenges that could come from embracing modern Western ideals and culture.
But you just said the other day that you are in love with the Filipina Pea and you don't care who knows it. How can you be looking for someone if you are in love with someone else?
I fully agree! Social media has evolved into a powerful instrument for communication and impact, transforming the way people engage with one another throughout the world.
My experience based on visiting the Philippines since 2005 and meeting online through dating sites is that there are a lot of single mothers in the Philippines, this may be skewed by the way I have come into contact with Filipinas. What I see is exploitation of Filipinas nature by pinoys on a big scale - they disappear once a baby is coming. At the same time I see evidence of strong family ties still common although this varies a lot. I think the pattern is similar to UK, the only real difference to me is the femininity of Filipinas and their openness to engage in dialogue with older guys. After that for sure the culture is a lot different but changing rapidly as it is everywhere. UK is becoming very multicultural now due to huge immigration over the last few decades and so the notion of what western society is or is becoming is also hard to define, our way of life is changing so much as my 88 year old mother often laments. Thought provoking Mia! Thank you very much for raising this topic.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions. It's fascinating to observe how societies and cultures evolve and change so quickly, and it's critical to have open and honest discussions about these changes.
It is NOT a harmless trend. If your traditional women don't double down and stop the trend to destroy your culture, then you will suffer all the problems that are in the USA. I pray your people are wiser than we were, and you stop it.
I've been to the Philippines many many times over the years 😊And I love the people! Back in the day, The only foreigners in the Philippines were Americans, Australians and the English 😊Now there are lots of other nationalities in the Philippines, I was last there in February 2017😮And I noticed the difference then, it wasn't the same place it was before 😢 Many Koreans there now, Don't get me wrong nothing wrong with Koreans! 😊And lots of other Europeans as well. I had a filipina girlfriend from Bataan, it's around 1 hour from Subic bay😊 we were together for 8 years approx. Im not sure if I will return to the Philippines again, who knows? But I do have a special place in my heart for the filipina ❤Best wishes to all! Ian, UK
you are right, anyone choise and create his life like better he believe, but we dont live in a close home so influences go touch us.i think that the family in traditional rules go disappear, lefting us live like individuals peoples.i have see those gradual changment here in years..i think that the relations between men and women go became an opportunity for be better, ammeliorate and satisfie our necessityes...who go pay this? the kids that need family
Thank you Mia; this is a very controversial topic, thank you for putting it out there .. my hope is that very influential women in your country will rise up against westernization and stop it before it destroys your society as it has ours. Please, show the young people there the result of woke thinking; show them what it has done here, and keep your values as long as you can. I am sure most of the people there have no idea how this thinking eliminates families, tears marriages and even dating relationships apart. Thank you again; keep up the good work.
Thank you. Cultural values and traditions must be preserved, and I hope that people in all cultures can find a way to balance that with growth and modernity.
It is crucial to acknowledge and maintain cultural traditions, but it is equally necessary to understand that cultures are continually growing and changing. It is up to each person to determine how they wish to appreciate their cultural heritage while also adapting to changing circumstances. But, certainly, I sincerely hope that the Philippines would stay traditional and not change with the seasons.
I sure hope they keep family values. The destruction of our family values in the US was done on purpose. I have been watching various channels and I started to believe having an LTR was actually possible again after learning about Filipinas. It's not possible in the West anymore
If filipina become westernized, american men wont come. There's plenty of attractive women in america too. Its the attitude and values that make the filipinas alluring. You cant get a quality man with just looks alone.
If Filipina loses her culture she has nothing to offer, she becomes no different than the woman in the West. Her culture is what makes her desired by foreign man. Ask the question, why should he waste his time with a copy of the West. Think about it! Do you think he traveled that distance for a woman that reminds him of what he left. Think about it seriously! There’s other countries where the women are not trying to be like America or any other woman. They are different and proud to be different. That their value and what makes them wanted. Philippines is not around the corner or down the street. It does cost money, a lot of money, he is coming to you because he’s looking for a different woman not the one in his home country. Don’t lose who you are! If you make the mistake and your beautiful self he will move on.
It is critical for Filipina women to preserve our distinct culture and beliefs, as they are what make us attractive to foreign men. Losing our culture will make us no different from Western ladies and will not attract foreign guys yearning for something distinctive. Remember that foreign guys are eager to travel and spend money to find a one-of-a-kind spouse. As a result, it is critical for Filipina women to maintain the cultural identity and not become lost in the process of modernization.
Hi Mia,I truly hope Filipino women will not be destroyed by Feminism, the Philippines is one of the last destinations in the world where you can still find a sweet and caring woman. Ladies please value your traditional beliefs as it makes you unique and special. TC all
The social collapse of Western society is a result of decisions politicians made in the early 1900's. In 1900 only responsible men got the vote, ie business owners & property owners. Soon after all men got vote, including the irresponsible, due to the fact they had a responsibility to defend the country in times of war. The biggest issue was when they gave woman the vote in the 1920's, without equal requirement to go into battle in times of war. That was the beginning of female privilege. Governments then had to pander to the female vote to stay in power. When people vote to get free stuff, without the responsibility of contributing equally, we have a problem. 70% of all taxation revenue is generated by men in the USA. However 70% of taxation revenue that is distributed to services, is distributed to woman. You only have to look where the money goes. Education, 60% of university graduates are woman. Affirmative action for woman only. Twice as much is spend on female health compared with men's health. Breast cancer research gets 7 times the funding as prostate cancer research, even though more men die of prostate cancer than woman die of breast cancer. I can go on & on about government funding & it's mostly going to woman. Government pandering, to woman, turned men onto ATM'S in family law. Family law & the welfare state, resulted in not having a need to keep families together. Why have a family, when you can just get alimony, child support, asset redistribution & government welfare. The resulting break up of the family is a direct result of what most woman voted for ie (free welfare ) & governments pandering to this vote. You only have to look at voting patterns & see in the USA, overwhelmingly, woman, towards the left. While men vote towards the right to pay less taxes.
If you had things as you apparently like, pre-1900, most women would not be working at all, so 100% of tax revenue would be generated by men. How is that helpful?
I am aware of your passionate views on the evolution of politics and how it has impacted society. But I think it's vital to acknowledge that society problems are complicated and varied, and they can't be boiled down to just one cause or one single fix. In order to discover answers that benefit everyone, regardless of gender or political party, it is crucial to have courteous and open dialogues about these topics.
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 The solution is a complete collapse of the west. Rewrite the constitution that only give voting rights to responsible people, based on contribution to revenue. The more you contribute the more votes you get. Be a net tax payer. e.g. pay more in taxes, than your education cost, get one vote. Own a business & employ people get two votes. Own a property & be a landlord get anther vote. Responsible voters are more important than the gender of the voter. Currently we have irresponsible people who don't contribute, don't work & vote to steal off people who are responsible.
@@CaptainKremmen It worked. Before 1900, the divorce rate was around 1.3% over a lifetime. Income tax in Australia, the UK & USA did not exist. The small amount of tax that was generated, mainly came from import duties. People had families to support them in bad times. People stuck together. People had a common culture, so they were united. Now we have a fragmented & divided society. Government welfare has replaced what the family once did. Even reproduction has been replaced by immigration. Where I live in Sydney, an old dilapidated house is around AUD two million dollars. That's 40 years income, for 50% of workers. So your forced to have a duel full-time income, just to pay the mordgage or the rent. So children are an unaffordable luxury. Living in one of the richest countries on earth & you can't afford a family. Yes Australia is a shit hole, believe me.
Awesome subject, Mia! I have been looking for this video. Please, don't change for the money hungry western culture. Phillipine culture is beautiful. Many here have 3,4,5 children and are left to take care of their children alone. It is a sad, hard life. You need to watch what man you lay down with! If you meet the right one that is fine. You're country is right to protect you from this! Young people with NO morals. There is an old saying. Don't it to me once shame on you. Do it to me twice shame on you! Take care of you're children. Protect them from some foreigners. Mia very nice video. Tell them to keep you're gate closed if they don't want a wife. Another terrible thing here in the states is STD'S! There are still some good communities. Loving families. Keep the nuclear family together!! Stay strong! It is the right way, Mia! GOD BLESS YOU and you're Family!!
In your movies. Especially the romantic movies. The representation is heavily westernized so it can be said this is what will influence the mindset. In the movies there is a heavy infasis on the woman being the prize, even if she has very little to bring to the table. The men have to jump through hoops to gain her favor and the lead actor (men) seem to be very famanine as well. Whats more when they try to be like westerners they get it wrong 70% of the time because they are confusing and in some cases forgetting cultural values. Observe the 80/20 rule always.
I have been watching lots of videos on the Philippines. I couldn't help but notice many are adapting to western particularly U.S. cultures and style's. They say that the divorce rate is much lower in the Philippines. I think it's obviously only because you cannot get a divorce in Philippines otherwise your numbers would look like ours. I think it wont be long with the help of social media you wont be able to tell the difference from U.S. and Philipine's. When the women figure out how to make the government let them divorce it will be a whole different culture.
There is no divorce in the Philippines. So people are starting to live together and be fornicator and have kids more with single mothers. This is the new norm.
It is true that western cultures and trends have had a considerable effect in the Philippines, especially with the use of social media. While the annulment in the Philippines is lower, this is not necessarily a bad thing, as it can have severe consequences for families and children.
Mia, if you ever came to the US you could see the difference between Filipinas that are Americanized and those Filipina who have not been in the US that long...it's really hard to get a Filipina in the Philippines to become Westernized there because the culture is too strong. A good example is look how many Filipinas don't know how to make Spaghetti like here in the US. I have seen Filipinas come to the US and eat rice maybe once a week and then go back to the Philippines and eat it three times a day...
It's fascinating to learn about the cultural distinctions that exist between Filipinas in the United States and those in the Philippines. It is important to embrace and value one's own culture while also being open to learning about and experiencing different cultures.
Love your channel Mia. You are probably not going to like this answer, but it makes it no less true. The westernization of your women is due to the empowerment of women. It is what is it. You can point to any country that has empowered it's women and see the same thing. The state of social decay of that country is directly correlated with how long it's women have been empowered. Make no mistake about me. I love women and I have recently found a filipina of my own and started a relationship with her. She is not westernized and still desires a simple life and I absolutely love this about her. Now there is both bad and good news for your country. The bad news is, this cycle, once started, will run to it's completion and towards the end of the cycle, the state of social decay will be very bad and life will be even worse there then it is now. The good news is that, because your country is not wealthy, it is not able to provide the welfare needed to prolong the cycle artificially, so the cycle will progress quickly. Unfortunately, quickly is still likely to be 2-3 generations.
Westernisation is directly correlated to affluence, you need money to be Westernised and since the average wage in the Philippines barely meets poverty level it's hard to get Westernised. Same with divorce, despite it being illegal most women if they get a divorce will get very little financial advantage.
That is a fascinating perspective, but it's crucial to keep in mind that things other than wealth or material success can also have an impact on culture and morals.
I live in the United States mia. I was born in puerto rico tropical as the Philippines hot typhoons here we called hurricanes. The difference one goes one way the other goes the other way spiral wise. Anyways I have been here a long time and this country never changed my moral values and principles have never been corrupted by this country. I came from a poor family just like in the Philippines i slept on dirt and had no shoes to go to school if you need proof i got a photo of me with no shoes while poor😂😂😂😂😂. Now at 55 years im a retired frequency trader from virtu financial and believe it or not i got a california king size bed but i slept on the floor. You know why? Because i know where i came from and that humble life I can't buy with money cars purses phones glasses. Dignity moral values and principles don't have an expiration date. No matter how advanced the world is. Millions or even billions of years ago men killed other men still the same thing today. Nothing changes at all.we all bleed suffer and die thats the discipline and the sad truth.
I would say that a certain amount of Western culture would help the country, like not stigmatizing Birth Control, Divorce and Abortion. Except a Religious Minority in any country can impose their beliefs on the majority. Yes, THAT happens in the West as well, while we complain about "Sharia" law in Muslim countries, yet have our own version being played out here daily, but not recognizing for what it is by those pushing it. Not sure how it will turn out for future generations, but just saying it's looking pretty grim.
You make excellent observations concerning the influence of religion and its impact on societal concerns. It is critical to balance traditional values with modernity and development in a way that serves society as a whole, rather than pushing one's opinions on others. It's a delicate balance that needs careful thinking and open-mindedness.
They stigmatize birth control ...chatoplic country but not prostitution is rampant in philipines and nobody do nothing ...prostiotution bring money so church will look other way this time
Very well done young lady! That's a touchy subject in any culture especially with all the things that are happening in the world today. Unfortunately tradition, morality, and respect are under attack by a large number of twisted, woke, "new age" group of greedy slobs and that's putting it nicely. I was born in 1964 and had a rough upbringing... I was a bit of a rebel but always had respect. It's been sad to watch the decay of family values and such throughout the years. I pray that the Philippines can hold their traditional way of life through wise people setting an example. The educated need to speak up and lead. I'll get off my soap box now. Lol Blessings to all!
Thank you for your kind words! It's encouraging to hear from someone who shares my concerns about the decline of traditional values and the value of respect. We can only hope that smart leaders will step up to protect what is good in our society. Best wishes!
yes Mia what your hubby is talking about is what we call women taking accountability for their own actions and decisions ok, this is a major problem with women in the US and other countries, is they do not take accountability for their own actions or decisions, which is a really big turn off to men now ok, but also to add to the lock and key thing yes women hold the lock to when they will start to having the bedroom fun and the man holds the key to if he gets into a relationship or not ok, now to really tell it like it is, lets say that women are the gate keepers to when they will start having the bedroom fun and how the lock on that, who with ok and the man is the key who unlocks this with a woman ok, so now a lock that can be open by just any key is consider a very bad lock ok, but a lock that can only be open by one key, is consider a very good lock which would have more value to a man ok, so a lock that can be open by any key, is not of high value to a man ok and now along time ago yes women having the bedroom fun and having kids out of wedlock ,is still look down on ok and now are look at a woman having babies out of wedlock are called baby mama's ok and at times nothing but a 304 ok, which that is consider very bad for a woman to be like ok, now yes men do understand certain things ok, but keep in mind in the US most women who had babies out of wedlock, have been lying to men most of their life ok, so it is going to be very hard for any woman who had kids out of wedlock to convince a man she is still a good woman ok or is worth having that man ok, :0 plus Mia tattoos and nose rings are a pretty good sign to a man, she is bad and not worth his time ok :0
I realize that you have certain thoughts and attitudes about women and relationships, but it's vital to remember that everyone has their own set of values and preferences. It is critical for both men and women to accept responsibility for their own actions and decisions, as well as to treat each other with respect and understanding. Thank you for your insights 😀.
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 well Mia it is called life exp, is what i talk from not from what others have either told me or not, i am 61 years old and have seen and been thru a lot from men and women and not from the bedroom either, just in general, but when i make a comment it is always from my personnel exp and never from another person's point of view ok and in the US i have never seen a good woman yet and i am not saying there is no good women here, i just have not seen one yet ok hehe
Social media has divided men and women all over the world including life in PH. Men and Women are less united do to social media and there's nothing anyone can do. In all industrialized countries the populations are decreasing with plummeting birth rates. Divorce being legalized in the Philippines will benefit everyone including the economy. Divorce is allowed in the Dominican Republic a catholic culture and divorce is allowed all throughout South America and legalizing divorce in those countries hasn't changed relationship dynamics between men and women in those countries.
That's a fascinating point of view. Social media has undoubtedly had an influence on how men and women communicate with one another. Divorce can have both positive and negative consequences, but it is critical to examine the possible influence on families and society as a whole.
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 If made affordable divorce will pump money into the economy. Everyone gets a cut off the divorce action the legal professional doing the divorce and the government gets their percentage. I don't see the family impact issue you are speaking about when couples aren't staying together regardless whether divorce is allowed or not allowed. Couples in marriage part ways anyway, so give a Filipina woman the right to get on with her life and give a Filipina woman the right to regain her sexual market dating value and giving a Filipina woman the right to a divorce will allow that to happen. If you are a 35 year old Filipina or a Filipina of any age and you can't get a divorce and you are a married woman in the Philippines, and your Filipino husband has disappeared or run off with another woman the sexual market dating value of that married Filipina goes down enormously because now she has a $6000 dollar annulment price tag on her forehead and getting that annulment could take quite a long time and we know what can happen to a man that dates a married 👰 Filipina in the Philippines possibly that man could face jail time. A simple divorce with no complications uncontested divorce in America will cost approximately $1000 dollars

It's reasonable that you have your own ideas and ideals, but it's also vital to respect other people's decisions and control over their own bodies. Everyone has the freedom to make their own sexual decisions, and no one can tell them what they should or should not do. To each is own, they say.

@@filipinalifewithmia5208 from my younger days experience, yes definitely, but I'm very surprised, many disagree, but wonder why many mainly women/ girls cry cheating guy, but don't distinguish between sex and love, their requirements too for friendship or even type of relationship as well unfortunately, true?? What do you think?
Whatever you do, just dont go full on American feminist. You will lose your value and become undesirable by your country men and thise around the world.
Yep. It is critical to uphold your principles and ideas while still remaining open to learning and improving. Being a strong and appealing personality requires balancing societal expectations with personal strength.
I think you're getting Westernized. From seeing your dog on your bed. Most Filipinos keep their dogs outside roaming the streets and barking all day an night or kept in a cage for all their lives (?)
While some Filipinos prefer to keep their dogs outside, others want to have them inside as members of the family. It comes down to personal choice and what works best for each person and their pet. Finally, how individuals choose to treat their dogs is a personal choice, and it does not always imply that they are westernized.

Hello, there! I'm doing OK, thanks for asking. I admire your opinions on feminism and its effect on Western civilizations. It is critical to have open discussions regarding these concerns. While everyone has an opinion, it is critical to respect and value the points of view of others. And to you as well!
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 From a historical perspective two things changed the dynamic for Western women, the pill and good paying jobs. Until Pinays get both they will lack the leverage to be Western.
Exactly Tim👏🏾👏🏾 If Filipinas become westernized then THEY lose. We’re the consumers - they’re the product. If we’re not satisfied with the product - then we’re not buying....period.

Only desired men are the gate keepers to relationships. Any women can get a relationship, so long as she lowers her standards to across & down.
So can any man if he goes to asia and waves his wallet around. Noone desires trump if he is a pauper. :D
Sorry, but I must respectfully disagree with your statement. It is wrong to say that only desired men serve as relationship gatekeepers and that any woman may enter a relationship by lowering her standards. This phrase indicates that women have no choice in selecting their mates and that they are exclusively valued according to the criteria set by males. But don't get me wrong: I believe that women must lower their standards if they are too high and that they are unworthy of dating. In reality, relationships are formed through mutual attraction, compatibility, and respect between two individuals, regardless of gender. Both men and women have the freedom to pick who they want to be in a relationship with and what characteristics and standards they seek in a partner. Everyone deserves to be in a healthy and fulfilling relationship that meets their standards and values, regardless of gender.
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 well said Mia 🤔🤔
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 nothing is wrong with what you said, only part that seem to be misunderstood is that part ( are exclusively valued according to the criteria set by males) when the gender is specified as the thing of high value in the context of intimate relationships it is always by the opposite gender's criteria and what they look for. and as nothing to do with a person's value to anyone else or society as a whole. example a nurse that helps save lives and pay tax is a person of high value but if she works 70 hours a week and wants no kids she is a low value woman(partner) to men that want kids. the problem in the west is many woman set their worth by society standard and not by what men want in a woman so they price themselves too high and end up with very high standards but the high value men they seek want other things in a relationship. i seen studies that show that by 2035 over 40% of woman in the USA will be childless and alone by 40 because of that.
@@subspace666 Heard that too and they deserve it. They are only interested in men who are over 6 foot and earn 6 figures plus. Problem is guys in that position are mostly players and will only use those try hard Bimbo's.
As a foreigner, it is my prayer that the people of the Phillipines never lose their values, your values is why I left the US, the people have become too selfish and decadent, don't let this happen to you and I promise as a foreigner to respect your traditions and I will never try to influence anyone in the ways that I had to escape from.
The problem that the internet media has destroyed a lot of the old values in every country. In Europe we already have it. It's a pity that it can't be stopped in the Philippines either. It is up to each individual to do their part to preserve traditional values. A very good youtube post!
Amen. This has got to stop for the sake of society as a whole
hopefully we will fix this before it becomes an existential crisis for our species because when this happens morality and woman's rights will go out the window and we will be setback hundreds of years.
Thanks for watching. I do agree that the internet has brought about changes in our society, and it's sad to see that these younger generations aren't upholding traditional values anymore.
It can be stopped, but people are too afraid to say
Mia, I'm so glad you brought up this topic. I noticed Filipino women are adopting U.S. values because they think it's better. There are consequences for these choices. Look at what's going on in America, China, Russia and Japan. These countries are suffering from the choices they have made. Hold onto those family values. A Filipino woman friend told me to get a woman from the province 30+ years old. She was right. We had an LDR for 2 years because of Covid. I came here in August 2022, got engaged, and moved back Dec. 2022. It was a real blessing from God. Keep sharing the good stuff because the world needs hope. When you give a person hope you have given them grace.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences on this subject. It's wonderful to learn that you've met a partner that shares your values and views. I think that maintaining family values is crucial and may give individuals and communities hope.
Mia - This is one of your best videos I have ever viewed. The question now is how are the traditions to be preserved and maintained so the values of the natives are never lost?
Thank you 🙂. That's a very good question. Traditions are highly significant to our cultural identity and history in the Philippines. That is what distinguishes us Filipinos. I believe that the only way to protect and keep it is to continue handing it down to the next generation, perhaps via education and practice. It might also be implemented in schools by teaching students about it.
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 Yes dear Mia - Those are some things that can help, However the power of social media has deep influence subliminally to it's consumers I say. Go back 50 years ago before any modern gadgets were among you. How was life then? Hast forward to now and listen to the echos of disappointment among elders and mid age natives such as yourself. (Things About us) are changing. or is it too late. Walk through the malls and areas of how influence can attract most. Just a thought based on your amazing speech about what's important there.
w a good teacher, compare and contrast examples can illustrate to kids the cause and effects of western feminism compared to trad woman on their futures, family and society so they can recognize the consequences of media trends they see and then make intelligent choices themselves over blindly letting western media dictate their choices. If you learn to think about what makes a better life young, youre more likely to avoid a hard life like feminism has created for women. Teachers and parents are critical here. These are principals that affect all whether religious or not. But personal convictions and accountability preserve a good direction.
Nice to see you again, Mia. I prefer the traditional filipina values, this is why so many of us choose to travel there and find a wife. Here in America, we somehow can't even define a woman, we have men who are now women compete against women and nobody can say boo or else face the violent left, we seem to love abortions, life is not so precious here, we can't look at a woman for more than 10 seconds, they call it sexual harassment somehow, if we get married here in the USA the chance of divorce is very high and this leads to the financial disaster we all know too well for the man, this is a large part of the reason we are not reproducing, etc...... So, my hopes are for the filipinas to remain as traditional for as long as possible. Thank you and have a lovely day.
Hello there! I understand why you admire traditional Filipina values and why traveling to the Philippines to find a bride could appeal to you. Ultimately, the most essential thing is finding a partner who shares your values and views and with whom you can establish a strong, healthy, and satisfying relationship. It is up to each person to choose what they want in a partner and to make educated decisions about who they want to be with.
I wish you the best of luck in your search for love and happiness, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
Honestly I think the whole of the Philippines is starting to become westernized
Sadly...
I blame the internet.
Yes, there is no doubt that the Philippines is exposed to Western influence and globalization. It is normal for our way of life and values to grow and adapt as our society gets more linked and exposed to diverse cultures.
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 if people are aware of the immense difficulties in copying western culture, they wouldn;'t embrace it wholeheartedly.
@@LawrencericeYup it is the internet.
They are on TikTok and Facebook nonstop. The Filipinas I have interacted with over time have become more and more westernized over time. The best example are new Filipina vloggers.
So sad...
Yes, social media sites such as TikTok and Facebook are quite popular in the Philippines, and they have undoubtedly affected society in many ways, including how individuals dress and behave. It's fascinating to see how these platforms may also act as a window to the outside world, exposing Filipinos to new cultures and ways of life.
If Filipinas become westernized, they will suffer the same fate as western women - extremely unhappy and alone. According to studies, western women are the most unhappy women on the planet. There are more antidepressants being subscribed than ever before. If you connect that with the fact that the Philippines doesn’t have the societal and financial safety nets that western countries have, it could get really bad in the Philippines - if the women develop western traits. These western traits would make them undesirable so eligible,productive, and valuable men would choose to go elsewhere to find a wife.

I just found your channel yesterday and have watched several videos already and I'm really liking your content. I was already considering returning to the Philippines, and your videos are starting to sway me even more to return😊
I'm glad you're enjoying it and that it's influencing your choice to return to the Philippines!
Mia you are so right... so young and yet so wise, it's hard to believe it...
I hope the Philipines will never be poisoned by feminism... if it will be, then we're all doomed... I'll be living in Davao City with my Pinay and I hope feminism will not follow us...
LOL feminism comes with prosperity (as long as it is not orthodox religious country but even then, eventually...). There is a while left yet
@@suzanne-cq8pn feminism like in the usa can not happen everywhere , the global birth rate needs to stay over the death rate else we will face extinction and then feminism will be canceled.
@@suzanne-cq8pn I'm not sure what makes you think it comes with prosperity...
The society in the US is spoiled and poisoned by feminist ideology and mentality... it's rotten at its very core the elemental unit of the society the couple as a family...
The feminist effects are devastating in the US society...
Delusional big fat asses females hitting the wall, lowest rates of marriage, highest rates of divorce, single parents raising dumb obese kids that end up useless members of the society able but unwilling to work, abusing drugs and alcohol, with significant mental health issues, incapable to make a real connection to someone and build a family, and more, much more than I could post here but there is no room for that...
Where is the prosperity in that..??..,
This is so in-depth. You can tell that you spent a lot of time researching this subject. Thanks for this.
I appreciate you taking the time to say kind things 🙂
This is a great topic Mia. I chose a mountain woman for her reserved character and wonderful personality.
My ex from Lapu Lapu had two more kids and when they visit 🇵🇭 their cousins are just like them. Once a cute Flipina moves to the 🇺🇸 they are westernized-my daughters cannot really relate to their mom as she is old school Flipina-also the extended Flipina family is changingin the 🇺🇸 as many kids move for college-career opportunities!
The lock and key. Great saying, I'm going to use that
😀😅👍
Thanks! Mia is social studies teacher , very good! keep us learning
Thank you for your nice remarks and for acknowledging my attempts to enlighten and educate through my videos.
Amazing vlog.
I'd like to see one telling the do and don't do, when meeting the family
Wisdom like this will help so many people have a better understanding of their value in our changing societies.
This is why its important to focus on bettering yourself. Staying on your life's purpose (goals, dreams, aspirations), and staying vigilant. Thank you for the video Mae
Agreed, concentrating on self-improvement and personal progress is critical in every culture.
Interesting topic! My Filipina wife, I can say that the older she got the more she seemed to embrace her childhood values. We all try to adapt to the times. It’s said the only thing constant is change! My wife told me you appreciate your parents when we have children! Western values? Some good, some not so good. Thanks Dr Mia! You words are priceless, timeless.
Sir, I appreciate you sharing your personal experience. It's encouraging to learn that your Filipina has continued to adjust and cherish her childhood beliefs. True, we must adapt as times change, but it is also crucial to recognize and continue to appreciate our roots and traditions.
I am married to a BEAUTIFUL FILIPINA for almost 50 years! She has been a BLESSING to me! We are both Roman Catholic and that has been the focus of our marriage! My wife is a wonderful wife, wonderful mother, and a loving grand mother! I pray that the Filipina women do not change! I love my wife and I am truly grateful that my wife grew up very conservative!
A very thoughtful analysis Mia. Great work.
Thanks Mia, I always enjoy your videos and have for a couple of years maybe. You are always well-spoken and always beautiful to look at. I would like to be with a Sweet woman like you when I am in the Philippines. Retiring and moving there in less than 6 months. Please Filipinas don't get Westernized so I can live for the first time and escape America feeling like crap trying to deal with women. Let me enjoy my last few years. I may sound like I am crying when I say stuff like this, but I am crying to God, I guess to take me off this Cross. Another Good Job Mia, much respect. Paul got him a good one. I look for similar luck.
I appreciate your support of my videos throughout the years and your nice compliments. I value your encouragement and support. I understand your desire to find a nice Filipina woman who upholds traditional values, and I really hope you are successful in finding the fulfillment and companionship you seek once you retire and settle in the Philippines. It's normal if you're frustrated about dating in America and the challenges that could come from embracing modern Western ideals and culture.
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 Thank you. You have Always been the Most Gracious, that is an attribute of God, who is also known for being Merciful.

Great Video Social Media Has A Huge Influence Across The 🌎
I fully agree! Social media has evolved into a powerful instrument for communication and impact, transforming the way people engage with one another throughout the world.
My experience based on visiting the Philippines since 2005 and meeting online through dating sites is that there are a lot of single mothers in the Philippines, this may be skewed by the way I have come into contact with Filipinas. What I see is exploitation of Filipinas nature by pinoys on a big scale - they disappear once a baby is coming. At the same time I see evidence of strong family ties still common although this varies a lot. I think the pattern is similar to UK, the only real difference to me is the femininity of Filipinas and their openness to engage in dialogue with older guys. After that for sure the culture is a lot different but changing rapidly as it is everywhere.
UK is becoming very multicultural now due to huge immigration over the last few decades and so the notion of what western society is or is becoming is also hard to define, our way of life is changing so much as my 88 year old mother often laments.
Thought provoking Mia! Thank you very much for raising this topic.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and opinions. It's fascinating to observe how societies and cultures evolve and change so quickly, and it's critical to have open and honest discussions about these changes.
A good one my friend 🏋🏻♀️🤟🏋🏻♀️
You ROCK, Mia!!!
OHHHH THANKS 😅
You guys make a great team ~ I can see the effort that both you and your husband put into this wisdom ~ ALOHA !
Thank you so much!
Love your channel keep the videos coming
Thank you! Will do.
It is NOT a harmless trend. If your traditional women don't double down and stop the trend to destroy your culture, then you will suffer all the problems that are in the USA. I pray your people are wiser than we were, and you stop it.

Appreciate that 😄
Yes. FIlipinas are becoming westernised, I still love them but not as much. They are lost in their poisonous smart phones and it's not cool.
I've been to the Philippines many many times over the years 😊And I love the people! Back in the day, The only foreigners in the Philippines were Americans, Australians and the English 😊Now there are lots of other nationalities in the Philippines, I was last there in February 2017😮And I noticed the difference then, it wasn't the same place it was before 😢 Many Koreans there now, Don't get me wrong nothing wrong with Koreans! 😊And lots of other Europeans as well. I had a filipina girlfriend from Bataan, it's around 1 hour from Subic bay😊 we were together for 8 years approx. Im not sure if I will return to the Philippines again, who knows? But I do have a special place in my heart for the filipina ❤Best wishes to all! Ian, UK
you are right, anyone choise and create his life like better he believe, but we dont live in a close home so influences go touch us.i think that the family in traditional rules go disappear, lefting us live like individuals peoples.i have see those gradual changment here in years..i think that the relations between men and women go became an opportunity for be better, ammeliorate and satisfie our necessityes...who go pay this? the kids that need family
Many have become westernized but still plenty of good wholesome girls there
Good point.
Thanks 😀
Thank you Mia; this is a very controversial topic, thank you for putting it out there .. my hope is that very influential women in your country will rise up against westernization and stop it before it destroys your society as it has ours. Please, show the young people there the result of woke thinking; show them what it has done here, and keep your values as long as you can. I am sure most of the people there have no idea how this thinking eliminates families, tears marriages and even dating relationships apart. Thank you again; keep up the good work.
Thank you. Cultural values and traditions must be preserved, and I hope that people in all cultures can find a way to balance that with growth and modernity.
I really hope the Philippine women hold on to their traditions and do not become westernize….
It is crucial to acknowledge and maintain cultural traditions, but it is equally necessary to understand that cultures are continually growing and changing. It is up to each person to determine how they wish to appreciate their cultural heritage while also adapting to changing circumstances. But, certainly, I sincerely hope that the Philippines would stay traditional and not change with the seasons.
I sure hope they keep family values. The destruction of our family values in the US was done on purpose. I have been watching various channels and I started to believe having an LTR was actually possible again after learning about Filipinas. It's not possible in the West anymore
I agree with you 100%.
You are lovely btw.
If filipina become westernized, american men wont come. There's plenty of attractive women in america too. Its the attitude and values that make the filipinas alluring. You cant get a quality man with just looks alone.
I agree. A person's character plays a crucial role in attracting a quality partner.
If Filipina loses her culture she has nothing to offer, she becomes no different than the woman in the West. Her culture is what makes her desired by foreign man. Ask the question, why should he waste his time with a copy of the West. Think about it! Do you think he traveled that distance for a woman that reminds him of what he left. Think about it seriously! There’s other countries where the women are not trying to be like America or any other woman. They are different and proud to be different. That their value and what makes them wanted. Philippines is not around the corner or down the street. It does cost money, a lot of money, he is coming to you because he’s looking for a different woman not the one in his home country. Don’t lose who you are! If you make the mistake and your beautiful self he will move on.
It is critical for Filipina women to preserve our distinct culture and beliefs, as they are what make us attractive to foreign men. Losing our culture will make us no different from Western ladies and will not attract foreign guys yearning for something distinctive. Remember that foreign guys are eager to travel and spend money to find a one-of-a-kind spouse. As a result, it is critical for Filipina women to maintain the cultural identity and not become lost in the process of modernization.
Hi Mia,I truly hope Filipino women will not be destroyed by Feminism, the Philippines is one of the last destinations in the world where you can still find a sweet and caring woman. Ladies please value your traditional beliefs as it makes you unique and special. TC all
Thanks for the comment. I agree, I hope that Filipinos will continue to uphold the traditional values.
The social collapse of Western society is a result of decisions politicians made in the early 1900's.
In 1900 only responsible men got the vote, ie business owners & property owners.
Soon after all men got vote, including the irresponsible, due to the fact they had a responsibility to defend the country in times of war.
The biggest issue was when they gave woman the vote in the 1920's, without equal requirement to go into battle in times of war.
That was the beginning of female privilege. Governments then had to pander to the female vote to stay in power. When people vote to get free stuff, without the responsibility of contributing equally, we have a problem.
70% of all taxation revenue is generated by men in the USA.
However 70% of taxation revenue that is distributed to services, is distributed to woman. You only have to look where the money goes. Education, 60% of university graduates are woman. Affirmative action for woman only. Twice as much is spend on female health compared with men's health. Breast cancer research gets 7 times the funding as prostate cancer research, even though more men die of prostate cancer than woman die of breast cancer. I can go on & on about government funding & it's mostly going to woman.
Government pandering, to woman, turned men onto ATM'S in family law. Family law & the welfare state, resulted in not having a need to keep families together. Why have a family, when you can just get alimony, child support, asset redistribution & government welfare. The resulting break up of the family is a direct result of what most woman voted for ie (free welfare ) & governments pandering to this vote. You only have to look at voting patterns & see in the USA, overwhelmingly, woman, towards the left. While men vote towards the right to pay less taxes.
If you had things as you apparently like, pre-1900, most women would not be working at all, so 100% of tax revenue would be generated by men. How is that helpful?
Agreed 100% Sun Rise.
I am aware of your passionate views on the evolution of politics and how it has impacted society. But I think it's vital to acknowledge that society problems are complicated and varied, and they can't be boiled down to just one cause or one single fix. In order to discover answers that benefit everyone, regardless of gender or political party, it is crucial to have courteous and open dialogues about these topics.
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 The solution is a complete collapse of the west. Rewrite the constitution that only give voting rights to responsible people, based on contribution to revenue. The more you contribute the more votes you get. Be a net tax payer. e.g. pay more in taxes, than your education cost, get one vote. Own a business & employ people get two votes. Own a property & be a landlord get anther vote. Responsible voters are more important than the gender of the voter.
Currently we have irresponsible people who don't contribute, don't work & vote to steal off people who are responsible.
@@CaptainKremmen It worked. Before 1900, the divorce rate was around 1.3% over a lifetime. Income tax in Australia, the UK & USA did not exist. The small amount of tax that was generated, mainly came from import duties. People had families to support them in bad times. People stuck together. People had a common culture, so they were united.
Now we have a fragmented & divided society. Government welfare has replaced what the family once did. Even reproduction has been replaced by immigration. Where I live in Sydney, an old dilapidated house is around AUD two million dollars. That's 40 years income, for 50% of workers. So your forced to have a duel full-time income, just to pay the mordgage or the rent. So children are an unaffordable luxury. Living in one of the richest countries on earth & you can't afford a family. Yes Australia is a shit hole, believe me.
great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank youuu 😀
Awesome subject, Mia! I have been looking for this video. Please, don't change for the money hungry western culture. Phillipine culture is beautiful. Many here have 3,4,5 children and are left to take care of their children alone. It is a sad, hard life. You need to watch what man you lay down with! If you meet the right one that is fine. You're country is right to protect you from this! Young people with NO morals. There is an old saying. Don't it to me once shame on you. Do it to me twice shame on you! Take care of you're children. Protect them from some foreigners. Mia very nice video. Tell them to keep you're gate closed if they don't want a wife. Another terrible thing here in the states is STD'S! There are still some good communities. Loving families. Keep the nuclear family together!! Stay strong! It is the right way, Mia! GOD BLESS YOU and you're Family!!
EXACTLY. I would rather be with a province girl.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
In eastern Europe recently teenage boy was a man. From my generation teenage boy sterted to be a child. Our gradfathers were shocked of it.
In your movies. Especially the romantic movies. The representation is heavily westernized so it can be said this is what will influence the mindset.
In the movies there is a heavy infasis on the woman being the prize, even if she has very little to bring to the table. The men have to jump through hoops to gain her favor and the lead actor (men) seem to be very famanine as well.
Whats more when they try to be like westerners they get it wrong 70% of the time because they are confusing and in some cases forgetting cultural values.
Observe the 80/20 rule always.
I have been watching lots of videos on the Philippines. I couldn't help but notice many are adapting to western particularly U.S. cultures and style's. They say that the divorce rate is much lower in the Philippines. I think it's obviously only because you cannot get a divorce in Philippines otherwise your numbers would look like ours. I think it wont be long with the help of social media you wont be able to tell the difference from U.S. and Philipine's. When the women figure out how to make the government let them divorce it will be a whole different culture.
It's easy to get a divorce in the Philippines if you pay $5000 US Dollars
There is no divorce in the Philippines. So people are starting to live together and be fornicator and have kids more with single mothers. This is the new norm.
there is no divorce in the Philippines, it is illegal ok hehe
It is true that western cultures and trends have had a considerable effect in the Philippines, especially with the use of social media. While the annulment in the Philippines is lower, this is not necessarily a bad thing, as it can have severe consequences for families and children.
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 you must be an impersonator. Philippines has no divorce.
YES YES YES YES YES YES
Yes, thanks to foreigners
Mia, if you ever came to the US you could see the difference between Filipinas that are Americanized and those Filipina who have not been in the US that long...it's really hard to get a Filipina in the Philippines to become Westernized there because the culture is too strong. A good example is look how many Filipinas don't know how to make Spaghetti like here in the US. I have seen Filipinas come to the US and eat rice maybe once a week and then go back to the Philippines and eat it three times a day...
It's fascinating to learn about the cultural distinctions that exist between Filipinas in the United States and those in the Philippines. It is important to embrace and value one's own culture while also being open to learning about and experiencing different cultures.
The first time my wife made me spaghetti, she used ketchup as the sauce. That was 37 years ago, and the last time she cooked spaghetti for me.
@@methemonkeyking LMFAO
Love your channel Mia. You are probably not going to like this answer, but it makes it no less true. The westernization of your women is due to the empowerment of women. It is what is it. You can point to any country that has empowered it's women and see the same thing. The state of social decay of that country is directly correlated with how long it's women have been empowered. Make no mistake about me. I love women and I have recently found a filipina of my own and started a relationship with her. She is not westernized and still desires a simple life and I absolutely love this about her.
Now there is both bad and good news for your country. The bad news is, this cycle, once started, will run to it's completion and towards the end of the cycle, the state of social decay will be very bad and life will be even worse there then it is now. The good news is that, because your country is not wealthy, it is not able to provide the welfare needed to prolong the cycle artificially, so the cycle will progress quickly. Unfortunately, quickly is still likely to be 2-3 generations.
Thank you for sharing your point of view. It's interesting to hear diverse perspectives on this subject.
Photogenic
Thank you 😀
Westernisation is directly correlated to affluence, you need money to be Westernised and since the average wage in the Philippines barely meets poverty level it's hard to get Westernised. Same with divorce, despite it being illegal most women if they get a divorce will get very little financial advantage.
That is a fascinating perspective, but it's crucial to keep in mind that things other than wealth or material success can also have an impact on culture and morals.
Slowly and the more social media is integrated the more westernized they become.
I live in the United States mia. I was born in puerto rico tropical as the Philippines hot typhoons here we called hurricanes. The difference one goes one way the other goes the other way spiral wise. Anyways I have been here a long time and this country never changed my moral values and principles have never been corrupted by this country. I came from a poor family just like in the Philippines i slept on dirt and had no shoes to go to school if you need proof i got a photo of me with no shoes while poor😂😂😂😂😂. Now at 55 years im a retired frequency trader from virtu financial and believe it or not i got a california king size bed but i slept on the floor. You know why? Because i know where i came from and that humble life I can't buy with money cars purses phones glasses. Dignity moral values and principles don't have an expiration date. No matter how advanced the world is. Millions or even billions of years ago men killed other men still the same thing today. Nothing changes at all.we all bleed suffer and die thats the discipline and the sad truth.
I would say that a certain amount of Western culture would help the country, like not stigmatizing Birth Control, Divorce and Abortion. Except a Religious Minority in any country can impose their beliefs on the majority. Yes, THAT happens in the West as well, while we complain about "Sharia" law in Muslim countries, yet have our own version being played out here daily, but not recognizing for what it is by those pushing it. Not sure how it will turn out for future generations, but just saying it's looking pretty grim.
You make excellent observations concerning the influence of religion and its impact on societal concerns. It is critical to balance traditional values with modernity and development in a way that serves society as a whole, rather than pushing one's opinions on others. It's a delicate balance that needs careful thinking and open-mindedness.
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 Thank you!👍👍👍 Sometimes I feel like a lonely man on an island.
They stigmatize birth control ...chatoplic country but not prostitution is rampant in philipines and nobody do nothing ...prostiotution bring money so church will look other way this time
I meant to say do it to me once shame on YOU! Do it to me twice shame on ME! Don't let it happen twice!
I personally blame feminism to the way filipinas are thinking these days !!!
My personal opinion !
You play you pay
Very well done young lady! That's a touchy subject in any culture especially with all the things that are happening in the world today. Unfortunately tradition, morality, and respect are under attack by a large number of twisted, woke, "new age" group of greedy slobs and that's putting it nicely.
I was born in 1964 and had a rough upbringing... I was a bit of a rebel but always had respect. It's been sad to watch the decay of family values and such throughout the years.
I pray that the Philippines can hold their traditional way of life through wise people setting an example. The educated need to speak up and lead.
I'll get off my soap box now. Lol
Blessings to all!
Thank you for your kind words! It's encouraging to hear from someone who shares my concerns about the decline of traditional values and the value of respect. We can only hope that smart leaders will step up to protect what is good in our society. Best wishes!
Social media over consumption is the culprit, and women are expecting sugar daddies instead of just good men.
Yeah, that's so true.
I like you Mia!
Oh, thank youuu 🙏😊
yes Mia what your hubby is talking about is what we call women taking accountability for their own actions and decisions ok, this is a major problem with women in the US and other countries, is they do not take accountability for their own actions or decisions, which is a really big turn off to men now ok, but also to add to the lock and key thing yes women hold the lock to when they will start to having the bedroom fun and the man holds the key to if he gets into a relationship or not ok, now to really tell it like it is, lets say that women are the gate keepers to when they will start having the bedroom fun and how the lock on that, who with ok and the man is the key who unlocks this with a woman ok, so now a lock that can be open by just any key is consider a very bad lock ok, but a lock that can only be open by one key, is consider a very good lock which would have more value to a man ok, so a lock that can be open by any key, is not of high value to a man ok and now along time ago yes women having the bedroom fun and having kids out of wedlock ,is still look down on ok and now are look at a woman having babies out of wedlock are called baby mama's ok and at times nothing but a 304 ok, which that is consider very bad for a woman to be like ok, now yes men do understand certain things ok, but keep in mind in the US most women who had babies out of wedlock, have been lying to men most of their life ok, so it is going to be very hard for any woman who had kids out of wedlock to convince a man she is still a good woman ok or is worth having that man ok, :0 plus Mia tattoos and nose rings are a pretty good sign to a man, she is bad and not worth his time ok :0
I realize that you have certain thoughts and attitudes about women and relationships, but it's vital to remember that everyone has their own set of values and preferences. It is critical for both men and women to accept responsibility for their own actions and decisions, as well as to treat each other with respect and understanding. Thank you for your insights
😀.
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 well Mia it is called life exp, is what i talk from not from what others have either told me or not, i am 61 years old and have seen and been thru a lot from men and women and not from the bedroom either, just in general, but when i make a comment it is always from my personnel exp and never from another person's point of view ok and in the US i have never seen a good woman yet and i am not saying there is no good women here, i just have not seen one yet ok hehe
Oh god I hope not...I'm looking forward to going to PH and it would be a kick in the nuts if it's just like what I'm trying to get away from
Social media has divided men and women all over the world including life in PH. Men and Women are less united do to social media and there's nothing anyone can do. In all industrialized countries the populations are decreasing with plummeting birth rates.
Divorce being legalized in the Philippines will benefit everyone including the economy. Divorce is allowed in the Dominican Republic a catholic culture and divorce is allowed all throughout South America and legalizing divorce in those countries hasn't changed relationship dynamics between men and women in those countries.
That's a fascinating point of view. Social media has undoubtedly had an influence on how men and women communicate with one another. Divorce can have both positive and negative consequences, but it is critical to examine the possible influence on families and society as a whole.
@@filipinalifewithmia5208
If made affordable divorce will pump money into the economy. Everyone gets a cut off the divorce action the legal professional doing the divorce and the government gets their percentage. I don't see the family impact issue you are speaking about when couples aren't staying together regardless whether divorce is allowed or not allowed. Couples in marriage part ways anyway, so give a Filipina woman the right to get on with her life and give a Filipina woman the right to regain her sexual market dating value and giving a Filipina woman the right to a divorce will allow that to happen.
If you are a 35 year old Filipina or a Filipina of any age and you can't get a divorce and you are a married woman in the Philippines, and your Filipino husband has disappeared or run off with another woman the sexual market dating value of that married Filipina goes down enormously because now she has a $6000 dollar annulment price tag on her forehead and getting that annulment could take quite a long time and we know what can happen to a man that dates a married 👰 Filipina in the Philippines possibly that man could face jail time.
A simple divorce with no complications uncontested divorce in America will cost approximately $1000 dollars
@@stevenlawrence5733 In the West, One in Six stepfathers molest their stepdaughters. One is SIX. and in a place where there is poverty, I am sure its much worse. So there is a reason for ya.
Western is coming.
Unfortunately 😢
Yeah 😕
It will be a sad day when the Philippines loses its hospitality due to westernization😢
Yahh
we dont have many single mothers in the WEST..
And i disagree, Girls should be virgin until married, Mine was at the age of 24.
It's reasonable that you have your own ideas and ideals, but it's also vital to respect other people's decisions and control over their own bodies. Everyone has the freedom to make their own sexual decisions, and no one can tell them what they should or should not do. To each is own, they say.
Is many Filipinas getting tattoo like western women?
Yes, having tattoos is becoming increasingly popular among Filipinas, particularly among younger generations inspired by Western culture.
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 That's too bad.... I don't want Filipina get tattoo I prefer no tattoo. And I want Filipina to be nice to men forever like the previous generation. 🙏
In my 20+ years of traveling the Philippines, I have noticed a rapid shift in culture and tradition among the younger generation. Tattoos are very common now, especially with city girls. Women have noticed the flood of western simps coming to the country and are changing their behavior accordingly.
Foresure , but the Philippines is not the only choice for foreigners, . many other places better option and less TH-cam bloggers
where is a better option??
Yep, there are other Asian countries that you could go to.
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 where? vietnam i heard is not too easy for old men but maybe cambodia? thailand is changed too. Phillipines is still the only place where the bar is still very low, I think
Passport bros will ruin Filipinas if Filipinas allow them to. The beautiful thing about Filipinas is theyre not western. Lets pray it stays that way.
Sex or love?
Isn't sex different to love?
Yeaaah
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 from my younger days experience, yes definitely, but I'm very surprised, many disagree, but wonder why many mainly women/ girls cry cheating guy, but don't distinguish between sex and love, their requirements too for friendship or even type of relationship as well unfortunately, true?? What do you think?
Whatever you do, just dont go full on American feminist. You will lose your value and become undesirable by your country men and thise around the world.
Yep. It is critical to uphold your principles and ideas while still remaining open to learning and improving. Being a strong and appealing personality requires balancing societal expectations with personal strength.
She wont lose her value. She is married now
mia, you are a gorgeous thing
I think you're getting Westernized. From seeing your dog on your bed. Most Filipinos keep their dogs outside roaming the streets and barking all day an night or kept in a cage for all their lives (?)
While some Filipinos prefer to keep their dogs outside, others want to have them inside as members of the family. It comes down to personal choice and what works best for each person and their pet. Finally, how individuals choose to treat their dogs is a personal choice, and it does not always imply that they are westernized.
LOL!!!!!
lets hope not!!! Noooo!!!! :O
Yah

Hello, there! I'm doing OK, thanks for asking. I admire your opinions on feminism and its effect on Western civilizations. It is critical to have open discussions regarding these concerns. While everyone has an opinion, it is critical to respect and value the points of view of others.
And to you as well!
I’ve lived in the US all my life, it’s unlikely a Pinay can beat me at that game.
Hmmmm 😶
@@filipinalifewithmia5208 From a historical perspective two things changed the dynamic for Western women, the pill and good paying jobs. Until Pinays get both they will lack the leverage to be Western.
Exactly Tim👏🏾👏🏾 If Filipinas become westernized then THEY lose. We’re the consumers - they’re the product. If we’re not satisfied with the product - then we’re not buying....period.
