Philippines way of Courtship

The traditional Filipino way of courtship is usually indirect, a man who is interested to court a woman has to be discreet and friendly first, his gonna get with the woman's family and friends and should not be aggressive either presumptuous, most man tried a group date first with woman's friends, and followed with the visit in a woman's house to formally introduce himself to her family to let them know his clean intention to court the woman (usually if man go visit in woman's house he will bring something present to the woman like chocolates and flowers). Courting is usually be done inside the woman's house.

Some do it with serenade

Woman are modest and refine, man is lucky enough if the woman he is courting with after several visits, will agree to go out with him for a date but if in that case they always need to have a "chaperon" or somebody to accompany with them in there date, but most of Filipina use to play hard to get to measure his sincerity, he has to work hard to win her heart and even if the woman feel that she is also in love with the man she will never show it to him immediately. Some courtship will last years before the woman accepts man's love...but after the long process of courtship usually not in a very long time the man will do the "pamanhikan" or man together with his parents formally asking woman's hands from her parents and some man also have to render service into the house of the woman and serve her family before people can hear the church bell ringing.

The Modern Ways of Courtship is very different, because of the modernization almost everything changed advance, instant & fast. Woman now a days are being empowered,  tougher, aggressive & getting liberated. so using hi technology gadgets such as laptop, computers, cellphones, etc., no need for a man to exert too much of an effort and a very long time in courting to win woman's heart.





because woman now a days will not hesitate to show there affection, not afraid to take risk so if the guy will court the woman and woman think  he like the man then automatically woman will give it a what they call it a "try if relationship will work" this the time guy should keep his intention clear its very direct no parents and friends involve, yes parents and friends can influence woman's decision but still in the end its the woman will decision will prevail. in the other hand woman will directly say NO to those unfortunate man. but this time most woman don't want to get married right away.. more on career focus so if a man want to marry a woman he should prove during the relationship the he is ready and able to take care of his future family.

Discovering Camotes Island

I had an opportunity visiting Camotes Island and I can’t believe what I see. “It is a virgin island” as I call it, the place is so clean, so solemn, relaxing yet beautiful. THE LAKE DANAO- it is known to be the largest lake in Visayas & Mindanao, the total area of the lake is 680 hectares. THE MANGODLONG ROCK RESORT - coconut-shaded garden close to the beachfront. Across the resort and separated by a blue sea is a coral islet with tropical huts spread out, connected by a sand bar from the beach. THE SANTIAGO BAY GARDEN & RESORT- overlooking a wide expanse of fine white sand, and a dazzling blue ocean.
