Looking for love ❤️ on the Faroe Islands | DW Documentary

- Around 50 thousand people live on the Faroe Islands. But too many of them are men. Faroese women go abroad to study. Many don’t return. Men stay behind to live off the sea. Now the islands are enjoying a growing influx of women from the Philippines.
Antonette gets her folk dress out of the closet. Like a native Faroese woman, she’s getting ready for the Ólavsøka, the national holiday of the Faroe Islands. The 36-year-old actually comes from the metropolis of Manila. But life in the Philippines was too loud, stressful and uncertain for her. Antonette sought security and safety and married Regin Egholm a year ago. Her first daughter was born nine months later. Her new happiness on the other side of the world is complete.
Antonette is one of about 200 Filipinas who now live on the islands in the North Atlantic. Rain instead of sun, dried fish instead of tropical fruits - at first, their new life on the edge of Europe was a culture shock for many of them. And yet Filipinas and Faroe Islanders often share the same values. Family, faith and tradition are important in both cultures.
These values are often reason enough for young, liberated Faroese women to leave. The only university is too small and most men too old-fashioned. As a result, there are about 15 percent more men than women living on the islands today. The government is trying to make the Faroes more attractive. New courses of study and more jobs are supposed to draw Faroese women back to the islands. But in the meantime, women from the Philippines are settling in their new home, where they form the largest ethnic minority on the islands, closely followed by women from Thailand.

I live in Singapore. There are many Filipinos here. 1 thing i learned from them is that they're very adaptable to new environments and willing to integrate. They keep their culture but they respect local cultures. They make themselves as part of the country they're living in.
I'm surprised the Philippines don't have a shortage of women by how many it seems move too different countries for love. We have the same thing here but it's thai women who fall in love with tourists and move to marry
@@pink_alligator Filipinos are very friendly people. Yes I was from singapore before and they integrate better there too.
Lu orang indo?
@@pink_alligator are u thai women?
if ur countrys sitiation is very bad you ahve to be adaptable
"She cooks, cleans, does the laundry for you", I'm a man and I lived in the U.S. for many years but that doesn't sound right specially when describing your wife or girlfriend or what you're looking for in a lifetime partner.
Agree on this
Yeah it sounds like describing a house maid😏
Agree. However here in the Phils ..Filipino men can treat you the same or worse. Kudos to the Filipino women for their perseverance and dedication to their family. For the men.. i wish I can say the same. Peace. From 🇵🇭
Yeah well that's the real world. You have just been pussified with libtard ideology in the US.
No wonder why he is still single 😠🤢🤢🤢
I love Filipino people: kind, wise, generous, intelligent, and open minded. Some of the best people I've ever met.
thank u sweet words
Yep. I can agree it as a Mongolian
Tthank you
Cheerful & funny too.
Thank you…appreciated ☺️
Props to this Filipina lady who left her husband after she discovered his infidelity! Takes alot of courage, especially when you're not in your home country with children. Much aloha to her! 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Those men thinks that being a "docile" wife means accepting everything
She probably only wanted to citizenshiip
She’s so beautiful, inside and out!!!
You are so bitter and lonely, was infidelity all you noticed or learned from this documentary?
@@jaesoforeign why would you call Kas bitter and lonely? She sure doesn’t sound that way to me! Actually, you’re the one that sounds bitter and lonely.
The narrator's voice is wonderful! Clearly spoken, pleasant to listen to and not too fast like some narrator's. Excellent documentary as always, DW.
My Mother's parents were born and raised in the Faroe Islands. They came to America in the 1920's . I was lucky enough to visit those beautiful islands 11 years ago and meet some of my relatives who still live there. Thank you for this documentary !!!
That single Filipina mother of two is a blessing. So much courage
What a great story. Women leaving the island to start a better life and women coming to the island for a better life.
The women leaving are a bit hypocritical.
Women might have to leave to find a husband if they are related to the men at home.
What a wonderful way to put it! 🙏
@@organizedchaos4559
How?
@@organizedchaos4559 You mean you haven't find a woman yet?
Here in New Orleans, we have a large Filipino community. They’re lovely people with a lovely culture
It looks beautiful. That lady who went school and learned to stand on her own, I applaud her courage.
After living in a bustling city, this place looks like nature's refuge. Those who love to live in nature would not think about leaving this place 😍
YoshiPeach Mario probably because faroese women don’t want them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@YoshiPeach Mario who says Filipino men are not allowed to go there tho?
@YoshiPeach Mario no shortage of MEN only women
Yes but these Faroe people kill whales. Heartless
@@jesussaves5556 and people all around the world kill other people. Heartless.
Video title is misleading!!!
It should be more like how Filipino women are adapting to life in Faroe Islands.
Agree, still it's interesting. This place is calming for me
no , it should be HOW filipino men's are adapting to life with the grandma :P

I belong on this Island!! 👐👐it looks relaxing and peaceful. I grew up on Island.
I went to the Faroe Islandsa few years ago . They are the most stunning, mysterious , nature preserved place on the earth . I hope a mass tourisme will never destroy their beauty . The inhabitants are so wellcoming .
It is one of our biggest striggles at the moment, trash everywhere and the small roads along the mountains are not made for 100’s of people a day
People in faroe kindly visit mindanao at iligan city n visit pentecostal church there r many young widos want to marry God fearing man n responsible, caring n thoughtful. Here in mindanao at iligan city, philippines.
Many also old maids herr too
They have a horrible mentality. I dislike them and encourage everyone I know not to visit a place where there’s no compassion towards animal life. They live in the dark ages.
@@ddmddmd wow man, love the generalization! How is it exactly that theyre living in the middle ages? You surely dont condemn other countries for killing chickens and cows, of which the latter one is in fact one of the smartest beings on the face of the earth.
searching for love isnt easy. i feel for all those who longed for someone to be loved and love in return. wish we all find the true love and ultimate happiness each of us deserve. happy new year!
Wish we find happiness with the people who truly love us just the way we are, no more,no less..💖💝💝
It's my prayer too.
Well done Beng ... looking after yourself and your children and being an independent, educated and strong woman. A great example for your children. It does look like a beautiful place to live.
Beng Li Tang is very inspiring. She knows exactly what she wants & will fight for it. She knows where her home is & looks very genuinely happy. I hope she'll achieve what she's dreaming of ❤️
You are cute 🤭
Woy mba! Lu dibilang cute sama si bule 😆
Thanks and I am very happy and content where I am now.❤️❤️❤️
Beng, idol!!! you go girl. continue to aim and fly high. you embody the filipino woman - headstrong, brave and independent. same to you Antoinette!
she's in her mid 20s... after she gets bored of running for election she may well be off again
Respect for the Filipino ladies, hard worker, no complaining, and integrated well to the societies! 👍👍👍
And they eat day and night I know them very well
Theyre not hard workers, they complain ALOT, and everyone hates them
It’s sad actually, imagining having to leave your home and move half way around the world just to marry some dudes who can’t find a wife. If the population of the Faroes is declining then they should really leave it like that instead of forcing population growth by importing foreign women.

Beng is amazing! When she starts talking about her future, she is so radiant. That is a powerful, lovely woman!
Thank you😊❤️
@@milvianpoulsen1700 Your welcome, Sister, happy holidays!💚🤗🙏
Filipino people are lovely and very hardworking. We have lots in Ireland and I'm glad we do. Plus the mixed babies are just gorgeous 😍
Yes we Filipinos can easily adapt, were malleable and flexible, can always adjust.
My fellow Filipinos, men or women are very hardworking 😍
There is a big issue right now of men missing traditional feminine old school women. As a female, I love traditional men, nothing wrong with him likening a traditional woman. To each their own friend
The kids don’t look mixed, they just look Filipino.
Filipino blood mixed with western blood could make beauty queens. 😄
@@girliev.alcantara2103
Please stop making whiite people go extinct
I enjoyed watching this. I, too, never heard of the Faroe Islands. It is a beautiful place, with peace, serenity and natural beauty, I can understand why my fellow Philippine women adapted and fell in love with it immediately. Very opposite to the life we have here in the Philippines. People should understand that underneath the facade of regarding us as exceptional homemakers, the Filipino woman is an intelligent courageous woman, you can place her in politics, and commerce and she will work to make the community better!
🤍 Agree!
yes, but would you apply the same to a European woman?
Clicked on this out of boredom rather than curiosity, wasn't disappointed. The relaxed way it was filmed and edited made it engaging enough that i wouldn't have complained if it ran for longer.
Narrator: One of Europe's most remote regions shows how integration can work.
Integration can only work if immigrants want to integrate, unfortunately, this isn't always the case and some expect a country to change to be like the country they left. You don't have to give up traditions to integrate but it does help by taking part in local traditions. You can have the best of both worlds, only you make it a problem when you demand local traditions change to suit your entitlement.
Filipino women are some of the most amazing people i have met, extremely humble.
your correct about integration , it only works when they want to integrate !!
unfortunately ------ most from a certain RELIGION --------do not want to do that.
well not in britain they don t !
I would think integration from women (and men) marrying a native rarely is a problem.
the problem usually comes from taking in too many people with a diffrent culture and no connection to the country or the people there. And also placing them all in the same neighbourhoods so they have very limited interactions with the native people.
I'd say the problem is rarely with the immigrants, but with the politicians who "compete" with their peers in accepting the most immigrants. because in their eyes more immigrants means you're a better person.
i saw the on my feed and clicked it with the quickness
@@pauldavies5655 If you watched the documentary you'd see integration isn't a "one way street".......it has to work BOTH ways and the indigenous have to make an effort to WANT to integrate. That's what happens on the Faroe Islands as Faroese open their homes and accept the Filipino people......it doesn't happen in Britain when Brits close their doors and refuse to accept integration.
@@Bulletguy07 "WHEN IN ROME " dear boy " WHEN IN ROME "
if you cannot understand that -- look it up
! the indigenous are intergrated !
Beng is a kind of Filipina that shows what Filipino's can do..a fighter and a survivor..I'm proud of you beng..
Thank you Kua❤️❤️❤️
yup! tbats true we are very strong, for many struggles in and we are so survivors and we are very hopitalized and we are respectable to other people or any foreign countries0
as an introvert and nature lover, i would really love to live here! such a paradise!😍
I love and admire their resilience, adaptability, and sincerity in living and loving their adopted home.
Antoinette is a beautiful gentle spirit but quite strong when she speaks - its beautiful. I can see why her Faroe man loves her so. Many blessings to you and your family for many years to come..
The more I watch this - I love all the women reprented here - I would love to hang out with you or have a Pot Luck dinner with you (in America - a pot luck is where everyone gathers for dinner and everyone brings a special dish). We could have a great get together. LOL - Come to Colorado!!!
I really love people from Philippines. They are hardworking, passionate and brave. They could travel all around the world to seek a better life. But, their government are not appreciated them. There's no changes for their people in their home country. Hope their country can be develop with their help. Pray from your neighbours 😔
Wait, he married a foreigner bc there's a shortage of women in the islands. Then he cheated on her? With whom?
lol
I had a Filipino GF , morality is not high on their list , with her friend we went to a party a wallet went missing there . And some cash went missing from my wallet from time to time . They see white people as inferrior and make up crazy stories , would not be surprised if he didn't even cheat and it was all in her head. Dealing with Filipino nurses is kind of crazy where you will think crazy too so I think man just ran in direction opposite to the house to keep his sanity.
With new Filipino women.
@@bestintentions6089 wow, as a Filipina, I am surprised by this comment. You had a bad experience with a Filipina and now you see us all as the same? Dude, you gotta change that mindset...and its sad to hear that you think that morality is not high on our list... I guess, I can't change your mind about that. Carry on!
@@connierocamora4625 but i dont c black people there
Antoinette, Please see a medical specialist for goiter or throat cancer, the video definitely shows cause for concern. I and we have a past experience of living in the Philippines, we love the people and culture of the P.I. Love
❤❤❤💖💖💖💓💓💓
Her husband is a pharmacist 🤷♀️
Hi @Linda Guel,
Thanks for expressing your concern. We have been informed by the producers that Antonette is already undergoing treatment.
Best,
The DW Documentary Team
I came here to say this. I have had mine removed for cancer.
@@DWDocumentary May we have an update, please?
Love this video. I admire my fellow Filipinos who live there for their bravery and sacrifice. God bless Faroe Islands! 🙏🇵🇭
Thanks for watching!
Amazed at how Beng easily adapted and loves this place. It is beautiful, but so different from Philippine weather where we constantly have sun, I can imagine how lonely it must feel during winter.
Having sun and warm weather does not automaticually mean you are less lonely. I know of many Pinoys that do not feel lonely in cold Canada, Norway and so on. It is not the weather that defines whether you will feel lonely or not, but more if you find companionsship, and in many places you will find the warmest and kindest people in the cold places. Given it is hard to a first get close to them, but when you do, then you get a friend for life. Often people in the cold places are more genuine than in warmer places.
Not surprising, women generally assimilate better than men when immigrating to a new country, they don't try to change the culture or to impose their own.
@@blueheart8786 there is a direct correlation between sunlight, vitamin D levels and mood. That’s the reason why people buy sun lamps to help during winter. A lot of my friends get depressed in the winter for this reason. You can google it. Of course that’s not to say every single person in cold weather will experience that lol
Beng - the indepedent Filipina Woman, salutes to her.
She proves that she can stand without another husband. I also love that she wants to study to get another high paying job.
She should be the role model of the Filipinas who are in Faroe Islands.
Addennum: The Filipina women living in Faroe Islands were also featured in a local tv show (kmjs). After watching it, I got the impression that some of the Filipinas in the island are male-ordered-brides.
The Faroese dude is also correct. Most of the Filipinas will do the household chores for their family. (It is questions my identity if I am really a Filipina. I am too lazy to do household chores. Hahaha)
hmmm... why would they go to the Philippines? Unless, these men also benefit from the relationship, too. I like the way these featured Filipina women as thriving successfully in a different setting. No matter what happens, they continue to want to learn, get job skills, make friends with the locals, cook for their female European friends, not just for their husbands, take care of handicapped people, learn their culture and language. I’m impressed.
Philippino people are great!
Fastinating life and family love Phillipino even in Key West back in time.
They go to the filipines (and thailand a lot) because of our trawlers exporting fish to them. Besides, the couple met in Cyprus while he was on a vacation
smadge100 Why do you think that it is prostitution for a husband to provide for his wife and children? Do you think that a wife should cook, clean, do laundry, birth babies, raise the children, and earn half the family income while the husband gets to keep his income all to himself?
I am a high wage earning white American woman and even I would not marry a man that will not provide for me and the children we will have together.
It is not just to clean up after a grown man, cook his meals, wash his close, birth and raise kids his kids, and then be called a prostitute or reduced to a bed buddy just because the man brings his paycheck to the table.
What the fuck does a man actually contribute to a family if not his paycheck since the woman does everything else for the family.
Please don’t bother with saying his persona and love is enough because it is not when the wife is contributing her time, labor, and resources.
@smadge100 you clearly never lived or heard about such a contro. but in the video one of them talk about Manila as being a dangerous place where often people get killed. i'm sure if you were born in such a place you would stay there still right? please....
I spotted right away the face of my favorite Faroese singer and songwriter, Teitur, who turns out to be Ingilin's husband. What a lovely family! Sending lots of love all the way from Indonesia. 💕💕💕
i hope I can go there soon
Filipino people are really humble, and genuine people ❤️ love them!
When Beng reaches the twilight of her life ,she will surely spend it in her beautiful tropical islands of the Philippines.
Beng is a woman to look up to. I'm so proud of her.
What part of the country is your place belong, glad tó have good work In your place. Be strong,brave, I have 5 kids 3 boys nd 2 girls all at matured looking job.
Oh I didn't know about these comments ❤️❤️ I'm overwhelmed with your kind words❤️❤️
@Any One Why do feminist always call themselves 'strong and independent', yet victimise themselves non-stop and demand special privileges? Isnt that the polar opposite of being strong and independent?
@@tovsteh you probably have never even spoken to a feminist in person
@@brendanmorin9935 Youre not wrong; Most people who call themselves 'feminists' are not interested in talking to anyone who disagree with them. They want to talk to people who conform, and if faced with criticism they instead act offended and dismiss people on that basis, as if their feelings mean they get to disregard contrary information and data. Thats my experience.
I love Antoinette's accent. She has a true Manila accent when she speaks English. Very easy to understand and very monotone.
Yeah it's true the first thing i did noticed too , think she's from Manila. I was born in Manila and still living somewhere here.
I thoughts it was about a bunch of man who living alone without married.
Hello Beautiful 💘 Lady
Agreed
Bruhhhh 🤣😂
That's the Same Here 🤣😂
Na its about a feminist politician trying to diverse one of the last white refuges on Earth and about filipina womens migration into that island. I think ive seen a man talk for 2 minutes and that was only the filipinas husband
@opinions opinions im married to a israeli and german myself you dumb stupid virgin clown
Thank you for featuring strong, independent and hard working Filipinas.
Interesting. These men want a woman who cooks, cleans and raises children, but these traditional women won't stand for infidelity. You can't have your cake and eat it too! Good for this lady for sticking to her traditional values.
"With the Filipina, you get all-around service." This is predatory behavior!! You have very little to offer so you get online and specifically target Southeast Asian women who live in poverty, because fellow European women would never put up with you and this situation!
christina fouche I am from the Global South (also known as the developing world) so I feel protective of these women. And I live in the West, where I received my education and have a career, so I am capable of understanding phenomena. I too would love to travel to this place because it looks beautiful. But I do take issue with men specifically targeting a marginalized group. When it’s a trend or a statistic, you question the motives. And the interviews here, from which I quoted, prove my point. Wouldn’t it be easier to seek out women in the region, for example, because of shared backgrounds such as culture and language?
Also, Africa is a vast and diverse continent, not a country. “I live in Africa” says very little.
Women in the region? Like mermaids?
@@itsmyparty4637 What are you waiting for? I'm sure they would gladly accept you......
Well, the guy who said that was not married and did not intend to become married. He thought like that and found it to be bad. So your indignation is actually completely misunderstood! The guy who was married found his wife in Greece and was with her for two years before marriage. The Faeroe Island people are heavy in shipping and go around the globe. In many shipping environments in Denmark and Norway, many people are married to women from abroad. Don't be so easily offended on behalf of other people when you know nothing about it!
Why do you say the men have little to offer? Most of them are trying really hard to make a living, doing a dangerous job sometimes. It's not always about the money either, some of these men probably have really good characteristics.
She is so smart . Speak so clear And very good English . She must be well educated from the Philippines 🇵🇭
If its me you are talking about😊 I am thankful 😊
When I went to Catholic Mass in Bergen, Norway, I was so amazed to see that most, if not all, children there are Asian.
@LagiNaLangAko23 Ummm, since I didn't ask, I didn't ASSUME that they were all Philippini descendants. I have Asian ancestry, am Catholic and have absolutely no connection whatsoever with the Philipines. So please don't generalise!
Asian or only Filipinos? Asia is a large continent.
I acually went to the catholic school and mass i'm sure you're referencing some of the members are sri lankan aka tamil, some are vietnamese and some are philipino i think. Rest of them are a mix of other nationalities and norwegians it's pretty diverse.
I'd never heard of the Faroe Islands before. Oh my goodness, it's so beautiful. Had I known of it's existence, I would have visited years ago.
Beng has been doing so well for herself, studying and working hard and not depending on a man. Good for her
Watching from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
I’m a filipina, living in Australia, it’s nice to see
These filipina Ladies are very happy 😊 with their family . Seeing them together eating Pinoy foods! It’s Exciting 😊😊👍
Beautiful country
@dolphintattoogirl I am sorry that you feel that way. Generally speaking if its a matter of choice that either men or women or any race/culture/religion are entitled to marry whoever they seem fit to be their spouse as long they are happy and get along. Being married is not treated as a social experiment but a life long commitment. Hope you will find peace in yourself and not to harbour resentment or bitterness towards others.
@dolphintattoogirl So, just starts being less feminist .. and Learn how to treat a man correctly..
@dolphintattoogirl Girl. Seek help. Are you even Faroese?
@dolphintattoogirl it's White women who voted to open the borders and welcome other races into White countries, it goes both ways, it's not just White women who can benefit from this and find partners from other races, White men can too if they want, deal with it.
I feel the Faroe island is a peaceful place to raise family, the place looks serene and peaceful, very natural, I will love to move here
Good place to hike and very quite I must say.
But it's always gray and cloudy, if you dont mind a cold weather then it can be a suitable place for you.
What many there say, its nice to grow up in and its nice to be old in. But anything in between besides settling down, get pretty boring.
It’s far from peaceful they slaughter whales
It’s not peaceful. They stalk, torture and murder dolphins out of the water with knives and let them suffocate. They even kill calves and pregnant dolphins. They are a bunch of underdeveloped inbreds that lack culture and real traditions
@@ddmddmd what is real traditions for you?
The narrator says this is an example of how integration can work. Well, certainly but it is very unique. Generally, it's Filipino women marrying Faroe men. Not families integrating or single men. Also, it wasn't well explained why women were leaving, they wanted 'excitement' and the young men did not? Or was it because women were expected to stay home and keep house and be subservient to their husbands?
@Bárður that is what I understand from the video.
@Bárður the subtext in the documentary is still pretty much there. Traditional, constraining, new role model, equal opportunities, and philipino women viewed as traditional.
Please refrain from thinking that Asian women are subservient to their husbands. I'm a son of an Asian parents and my Mom is the boss in our household. I like to say my Dad maybe the emperor, but my Mom is the Shogun who actually rule!
What is wrong in being feminine and keeping the house? Or a woman must be a new man?🙃
Some women aren't made for family life as some men are .
Beautiful to see these women adapt so well to their new homes. They don't try to change the local traditions, instead they feel privilege to embrace them.
Filipinos are lovely people and very adoptable it’s nice that the island is growing and modernised
thank you so much u admired a filipinos like us
Modernised? Modernised? You make it sound as if the Faroes have been primitive until recently.
The Faroe Islands is one of the richest and most modern countrys in the world with the best standards of living!
There is ALOT more progress here than in the Filipines.
Even in a place where there’s a shortage of women, men still find a way to cheat.. smh
Funny reality in a small island
😂 we are fallen human beings, indeed
🤣🤣
Maybe with another man!
@Basics with Angie Thanks for sharing with us your "experiences"...
Kudos to Bang! Cool lady standing on her own two feet in a vastly different country and culture than what she was born into.
I was on that Island in winter for only three hours, and depression set in. It was the coldest rain I had ever felt in my life and uncomfortable. It is beautiful but your DNA has to match this weather somehow.
Probably true about the DNA, but Filipinos, as long as they feel they belong to a community or are part of a group, find it easy to smile. The Filipino is generally a social person rather than an individual.
@Patricia McCoy Huh? Nepotism, deception, amor propio, and religion are big issues to bring in. You're obviously making a point, but in the light of this thread, i fail to see what it is.
Whatever it is, though, let's not go there.
Did you find your love?
ah... that might also explain depression rates in northern countries like Finland. The winters are brutal
@Patricia McCoy get out of here, you're insane
He said, " she cooks, she cleans and does my laundry". I hope he takes her shopping and spoil his wife. She DESERVES it.
Absolutely. It's what I would expect of any conservative man.
he does.
Disgusting
Philippine women are all so beautifull and full of life and strenght . Love to you all, my dears! Hugs from Brasil.

Hahah

Hahaha

thank you DW, you tell us the stories we'd otherwise never hear
24:18 ... I'm embarrassed to say I've never heard of this place. I love the houses with what looks like grass growing on the roofs. Such a cool place!
Me too
Apart from loving the Faroes very much I also like their homes. They are so bright, clean, well organized and beautiful
The Filipinos will change all that. They will fences in their homes or put up what is called Sari Sari stores (mini stores selling all sorts of things). They will also sell food items in plastic bags outside churches on a Sunday. Unless, the locals will really strive to preserve the character of the island.
@@eduardochavacano umm but this is not the Philippines
I'm fascinated by what I have learned about the Faroe Islands. I'm Canadian and if given the opportunity, I would move there and live in that way of life🌷🇨🇦
well it seems you have to do it before it gets ruined by wokism
Lovely people and place. It's nice to see children being raised in a safe, low crime environment. Regarding conservative traditions, I'm very left in my politics and very conservative about life style choices and decisions. Self respect and respect for others is essential to me. As long as a society does not harm the vulnerable, protects all people equally under the law, enforces the law, and respects nature and animals, I would not mind living in a conservative society. What I loathe and cannot tolerate is corruption, which I believe causes major harm to my species. Very lovely people and families featured in the video and the island is magnificiently beautiful.
ANTOINETTE HAS GOITER

Please
Hi @I T,
Thanks for expressing your concern. We have been informed by the producers that Antonette is already undergoing treatment.
Best,

I T , i think she knows that she has thyroid problem. Too obvious, she can see and feel it.
Iodine!!!!
Yes she has..
I think it because she has just given birth.
Worlds apart! The Faroes are 18 volcanic islands in the North Atlantic Ocean spread between Iceland and Norway. They are a part of Denmark, but self governed.
Those poor filipina women putting up with that shit, and being treated like maids. Ladies, don't lower your standards!
Faroe Island... unspoiled natural beauty, a strong sense of community, a peaceful place to live in.
Dark, damp, cold, rainy. Depressing.
I have an answer ! Newfoundland Canada... they have a surplus of women as all the men move away for work.
-both are fishing based cultures.
-both are islands.
That makes no sense... so all the men leave Faroe island for Canada? Or all the woman from Canada move to faros island? ...
A surplus of women in Newfoundland... My new home! Ha
@@camerontaylor7471 Why does it have to be all or nothing.
some move there... others go the other way.
Newfies tend to only date other newfies, why would you move all the way to Alberta only to date other newfies?
00Billy I am a Newfoundlander, most beautiful people in this world, best island to live....love it!
So proud of these Filipinas. ❤️
akala ko sasabihin mo proud Filipino hahaha
Hahaha pwede rin. 😅
My boyfriend is from the Faroe Islands,we plan on meeting next year.
I’m not fond of winter but I also can’t wait to experience the Faroe with him.
Watching this video has made me feel even more eager to meet him🤗
Have you guys met? If so how is life now?
If you're still around... Interested in an update
Love the story of Beng. You go girl! Do what you have to do. Very unapologetic. That’s the spirit. 😍
Kaya nga. Ano😁
I appreciate whoever chose all the songs for this documentary
that was totally inspiring...after being in Iceland for some time, i understand the vibe and the unique way of life. 🌿
These girl are hard as rock. Never give up.
'Unable to accept ' husband's cheating? Biased and sexist terms used here.
How about 'unwilling to accept this breach of the marriage CONTRACT'?
I don't blame her at all . Would u be willing to accept ur husband cheating on you ?
@All About Power Same thing I was thinking myself .
So beautiful Documentary!
I am from a small village of Pakistan
I feel Good to watch Your documentary
You guys are doing great work!
Thanks DW ❤️
It's funny. I watched a few documentaries about this and all content and interviews on this subject are about men and talking to men. No one's talking to the women in any detail about why they are running away. Men mention often how women "want excitement", as if they're all running off to join the circus.
Pretty much the only occupation on the islands is being a fisherman. And that's all men. If you make no room for women in the work force, or give them any option other than to be a housewife, what do you expect them to do? And expecting so many women to choose to be a housewife is not realistic, especially in these circumstances. Because there's no incentive for men to treat their women well when women have no choice but to marry. In cultures where you have to just attach yourself to a man in order to have any kind of life, and the men know this, the standard of what a good relationship is drops dramatically because men are not afraid to lose women. So they don't treat them well. "Andreas: There's a big difference between them and a Faroese woman. With a Filipino, you get all around service. She cooks, cleans, and does laundry for you." I would leave too.
This was an interesting documentary. However, I think the title is incorrect for the subject matter.
Not really
@@GodKing804 Oh OK.
Agreed. It doesn't say much about the men. Mostly about the Phillpina woman coming to the country.
Agreed
Yeah
"You sit in front of a computer, click enter and they are there", as if you were shopping on Amazon "with a Filipina you get a complete service "she cooks, cleans and washes clothes for you. Horrible ... as if were objects, for these things the trafficking of women begins, now I understand why local women leave the island.
I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to say?
The faronese women go to the Philippines.
Agree. As if these men are looking for maids to bring there.
horrible ? thats real face of life, everywant wants better. if u are ugly girl nobodody cares you. if you are poor guy nobody cares you. if forean women goes to denmark for better life and husband , forean men has right to find women from internet
@@TheReggaeboi yes we are.
Go Beng! Sky’s the limit for anyone with goals, determination and willingness to work doubly hard! I hope you get a full government scholarship to pursue your degree.
Definitely a goal of mine to move there in the years to come. I understand that the Faroese people take their environment (including wildlife) seriously. That’s imperative to me! Looking to make it happen, but for now I gotta learn the language. ❤️
I hear it's a difficult language. It's been a year since you made this comment, how are things going?
Their quick smiles is it for me. I hope so is their heart
I can't blame her if she doesn't miss PH. But if she could visit some times that would still be great. Take care there!
I'm Filipino-American citizen but I missed PH ... PH is the happy place on earth
She's just saying that now. But like most Filipinos living abroad, in their retirement years, she will find her way back to the Philippines. I live in one of the most charming places in Tuscany, and 6 years ago I've been returning each year to the country - except this year because of the pandemic - and I can't wait to hang it all up, bade "Arrivederci Italia!" and get back to living the tropical island life...for good.
I'm from Indonesia, near Philipine.. I love Faroe Island, a remote country, peaceful and save..
Kalau mau jujur wanita Filipina lebih berkualitas daripada wanita indonesia, mereka rajin, pekerja keras, jago masak, pandai merawat bayi dll 🙂
@@MerahPutih14 setuju brader..
As someone living alone for 8 years since a divorce I can honestly say I can relate.
Where do u live? And why haven’t you found someone yet?
@@hungabunabunga3645 its you assuming he is looking for one
Do you want a wife from 3rd world country too..?
@@garycooper9207 really?
Stay strong, brother.
Wow this is my kind of vibe. So peaceful and simple life. Wish to live there.
Way to go Beng! What an awesome example of taking charge of your own life 🙂
Ingilín did get elected to parliament, as of summer 2020.
Cool!
Wow, thanks for sharing. Wish her and Faroese women the best
nice
Thanks for letting us know.
Very bad, degeneracy is invading the whole world.
That woman's husband still found a way to cheat on her... Humans...
@gamanin8 Uncool. I'm a guy, and the only relationships I've ever had have ended with my partner cheating. That being said, it would be easy for me to say "all women are cheaters", but they are not! It's important not to generalize.
@@Bug_Bait thank you for being open minded. way too many people resort to "men are trash", "women are greedy". how on earth do you counter such statements? what does my brother do when every girl thinks he's an f-boy just because of the way he looks or because he's cynical about marriage due to my parent's marriage not working out? what am I supposed to do when a guy assumes that I'll fall head over heels because he shows some cash? like, I live in a goddamn peugeot boxer *van* to travel and go hiking, I'm a minimalist, I don't want your money - but they still say "oh it's only you, other women are greedy though". sucks because it's like... if I hadn't explained my lifestyle they'd just see me as a stereotype if I were walking down the street. and girls would see my brother as a stereotype too before he gets the chance to explain himself.
There's only one side of the story....
@Shutupand Sitdown lol, cheat more? who the hell to you think they are cheating with? certainly not other men :D
He bought her from her country.....expectations can't be high.....
A very nice video. I missed the interviewer explaining that this phenomenon of women leaving rural areas is common all over the world. The men feel a duty to continue on the family farm which has been in the family for centuries, or the family fishing company, and the women want the opportunities of the cities. In Norway, we have more than 60% of the students at colleges and universities that are women. In rural areas, just as on the Faeroe Islands, it is a majority of men.
Marriage between Africans and Norwegians is very skewed. out of the 550 per year, 500 are women marrying an African man, and only 50 Norwegian men marrying African women. The women often meet their African men on the beach on a holiday trip or as employed on an NGO. These relationships are statistically very short-lived, leaving the men in limbo because they get forced out of the country.
Marriage between Norwegians and Asians is also skewed, but this time more Norwegian men marry Asian women than the other way around. Because there are more Norwegian women than men in the cities, and fewer of them in rural areas, a slightly higher proportion of rural men travel far to find someone to marry. Even though there are a few bad cases, these marriages generally last long statistically.
I think it would be nice if the interviewer had explained these things. She should also have explained that old fashioned traditional values are more common all over the world in rural areas. The question could also have been turned around: Why do women not want to live in rural areas? And this is worldwide. It is not only that there is a more traditional lifestyle. There are other factors too. I do not know the answer, but I think it has a deep biological background. We see the same pattern in genetic studies of African tribes way before there was any movement to cities: The women move away, the men stay. Some tribes have rules to counter that, such as in the Maasai that the youngest daughter inherits the parent's house.
Can i ask you, what norwegians think about latinas??
@@estebq2762 There are nice people everywhere! Latinas are beautiful people!
I am 6th generation 🇦🇺 farmer, and many more before that in England.
My brother lives now lives in one of the biggest Cities on earth whilst I am raising my children on a farm, hopefully they’ll choose to stay! I spent some time living in the city but never wanted to stay their forever let alone raise my kids in a city. Rural life for me!
Hi Fred Midtgaard, thx for enriching the community with lots of interesting insights ! Stay tuned!
@@Pheluv I agree with you! I prefer to live in a rural environment too. My kids also live in the city. Fortunately, it's not far from where I live to the city (Oslo, Norway) where they live. I have been all over Australia and love the country. Beautiful nature you have there!
i think it's so exaggerated to a Filipino mother to say you don't know if your daughter still alive after the night in Manila..too much imaginations separate you from reality..
As a Filipina Im so proud of you Beng...Thatshe sprit,you go girl
Sending love fro Antipolo, Philippines
Thank you for educating me about the Faroe Islands! A place name I only knew from the BBC Radio Weather forecasts when I was a child.
Damn this guy🤨🤨!!! How can you go so far as marrying a women from abroad, but the manage to cheat on her!!! why do we sabotage ourselves like that !!!😒😒
Because one good woman was not enougj😉
Milvian Poulsen 😂😂😂😂😂😂 he wants them all for himself
Purva P you got that right!!!
This is literally "The law of demand and supply in human form". 💯
Hail to the king Adam smith 😂😂😂
300 days of rain! But good for her adjusting to that sunless land and building her home there. Fishing and island life is same in Philippines
Changing doesn't mean you get better. Losing your tradition and identity over modernization is not a good thing
👍
It must be a real culture shock going from Manila to the little island. You go from a hot and busy city and land on a quiet and cold island.
This reminds me of Baguio and Batanes in the Philippines
Yes. I agree. I've been there. I moved to Denmark in a winter time. My ever first winter season experience. My body got shocked and got sick for 2 weeks.
The Philippines are such a vast archipelago. Is it a coincidence that the Filipinas seem to find it easier to get by with the insular environment of Faroe Islands since they're used to being an islander back in the Philippines??
ALso probably the religion compatibility, most filipinos are Christians.
👍👍
Amazing documentary. Someone in comment section have rightly said that, integration is necessary from immigrants parts as well.
An immigrant can enjoy both of two different world. He can bring his culture and at the same time can assimilate in others culture as well.
Love how the old man blames it on the women, that they are 'looking for excitement', no they have choices and a voice, good for them old man!!!
