WOF1: Do all Filipinas have old-fashioned values?

In the homepage of The World of Filipinas, there are a number of questions that are FAQ's from westerners who are seeking or have a relationship with Filipinas. Pretty interesting questions, and here are answers from a Filipina in a happy Fil-West marriage.

Do all Filipinas have old-fashioned values?

One of the rules in debating is to never generalize an entire population. Do ALL Filipinas have old-fashioned values? Of course not! Not all lobsters are the same color. Some are actually blue.

Do MOST Filipinas have old-fashioned values? It depends on how 'old-fashioned values' is defined. Do you mean respectful, loving, unselfish, faithful, would cook, clean and bear you as many kids as you want? Then I would say: YES. Based on the Filipinas I know. (And NO, I am not selling nor giving free introductions unless you are my friend.)
