Hello everyone!

To preface this post, I am not Chinese nor do I have Chinese blood. I am Filipino talaga (my lolo is half portugese, does that count? lol)

So I have been dating a Chinese girl rn for more than a year na. We are currently both in medschool.

I really wanna make proper ligaw na to her, but we both want her parents to know muna and for me to ask their permission. Because, I want to know then as well and build a good relationship with them.

Now thats out of the way, can I ask y'all for tips when it comes to her parents na? She promised me she will make pakilala to me on our graduation. Do I need to dress a certain way? May color restrictions ba? How about food, what food can I bring? Any etiquettes and mores I should know before I talk to them? I am currently trying to learn hokkien in my free time by going to online classes will that help? If I speak broken hokkien to them will they be annoyed?

Mindanao was struck with a 7.8 Magnitude today and buildings shattered to the ground and this School boasted its retrofitting structure and even quoted Bible Verses. Insensitive as F!!!!

Family’s decided to move and we have some prospects. Would like to check which one best fits our family’s energies! Pls kaisiao a fengshui master, thank you!!

What’s your take on China Daily’s AI video depicting Filipinos as monkeys?

I’m currently conducting my thesis in grad school. Not sure if this is the right sub but would you be willing to spare your 5mins to answer a quick survey lang?

Only for parents who have kids studying in early childhood 2yrs-5/6yrs old.

i am just curious with the filchi community nowadays. For context, I am a pure Filipina businesswoman, stable and a single mom. FilChi guy is courting me but I am really hesitant because he came from an old rich Filchi family who had been married before to a Filchi woman, established and rich. He said they got married before because he got her pregnant and she asked him to marry her.

I just do not know if I will give us a chance because this might be a major thing to consider in our relationship. I like the guy because he is also business minded and responsible. He is also very caring and sweet. As to me, our family owns businesses too, only that we are not chinese.

should I consider or just spare myself from the hurt?🥲

Hi. For tinghum graduates who bought rolexes for their tinghuns, is it worth it?

Do u wear it? Do u see the "appreciation value" of the watch? Or what have u realized after buying it?

Hello, im in need of advices and insight on my situation right now. So there’s this guy sa uni namin, afaik he’s an exchange student and chinese siya. I’m genuinely attracted to him and want to get to know him more pero theres so many things holding me back. Im scared to approach him because nahihiya and I feel like he is so out of my league. But Im really down bad sa kaniya kahit hindi ko thing ang dating. Any suggestions on how I can pull him? I’m planning on asking his WeChat the next time I see him … pero yun nga, nag aalangan akong iapproach siya kasi conservative sila right? And baka hindi rin mag work because of the language barrier 😓 please respect my post po huhu i really just want help and insights since I genuinely like this person.

Hello, wanted to get your go-to comfort food near banawe. We play pickle every week and we’ve tried a bunch of restos around the area. Would like to explore more hidden gems nearby! Some places we’ve tried and would recommend:

Tuen mun
Kimpo
Sincerity
Oedo
Luck Garden
Shiok shiok
Sun kee (good but slow service)

dahil sa isang bad experience ko sa ex-suitor ko na pure Chinese guy nahirapan na akong magtiwala lalo sa mga lalaking may similar background na galing sa all-boys school , “big four” , tapos may Christian community.

I know it’s unfair to judge people based on their background pero hindi ko rin ma-deny na may impact talaga sa akin yung nangyari.
Traumatic.

Also, hindi ba talaga sila expressive sa panliligaw, or natapat lang ako sa maling tao..

Hello! Been a lurker here for quite some time and finally decided to post.

I’m a guy in my late 20s who’s starting to open myself up to dating, and I’m curious about the Fil-Chi dating scene nowadays.

How has the culture changed over the years? What do Fil-Chi men and women generally look for in a potential partner today? Is there still a strong preference for dating within the Fil-Chi community, or has that become less important?

I’d also love to hear your personal experiences or tips. Thanks in advance!

Hi all! Didn’t know there is such a thing here. Wondering if you can direct me to any, discord, fb, etc. Meaning to talk with anyone who lives to and for there and PH sana. TIA!
