Hello,
What you people call poverty to Filipinos in the Philippines is called rich in the U.S. You marry Americans for citizenship, have numerous children, get divorced or separated, work in the U.S., go back to the Philippines and live like “kings” on American tax dollars.
The American government has been alerted to this! It is time to stop using Americans for greedy purposes!
And, when a Filipino works in the U.S. with a retirement. Guess what? The Filipina vulchers marry for money! Not to take care of the old man! GREEDY! And, you are worried about RICE! Get real!

Hi Haigler! Sorry you feel that way about Filipinos. Maybe because of some bad experiences you’ve had. But not all Filipinos are like that.
