So many handsome Filipino/as, some of whom with icon status (just see Mutya Buena and Myleen Klass in the UK, or Mark Dacascos in US).Banano wrote:None, they are not into asians I can tell you that, unless you dont look like an asian.

filousophe, what about Italy? Italy has Europe's biggest community of Filipinos and Italians love Filipinos, the only have positive stereotypes about them: warm, honest, hard working, etc. I lived in Milan for almost 4 years and had a few Filipino friends. I have seen several mixed Italian/Filipino couples, I would say a 75% with a Filipino lady but quite a few with Filipino man as well.
As long as you are not entering Italy illegally and have decent prospects to have a good and independent life, our Filipino friend might be up to a few surprises...
Italy is absolutely a good candidate - i just love the culture (even w/o the first-hand experience), as well as the ladies. man, i even have this one statement about Italy: country of refinement. haha.
but to tell you honestly, i've thought that there's a big chance of me being discriminated in italy - both in terms of romance and career perhaps. this is because of the general perception/impression that might have been brought about by the fact that most filipinos work there as domestic helpers. what i'm basically saying is that i'm pretty quite sure that some italians look down on us. but still we'll never know whether they constitute a huge portion of the italian population.
maybe it's time already that i gotta start focusing on the bright side instead. thanks so much publicduende
