Filipina Familiarity 101- Getting To Know The Filipina
Part 3

Funny things, Filipina's. Common over here, every marriage has one. My personal Filipina ( you only get one, any more is asking for trouble) is an absolute gem. She absolutely adores me, so much so that if another Filipina even looks sideways at me she gives me grief for being so "Gwapo" (handsome). You gotta love that kind of thinking! She firmly believes that all us male bears are weak, shifty, can't be trusted, born cads and bounders who will forsake our sacred vows at the raise of an eyebrow. Not true I cry! I'm the first to admit I look, but I would never touch. Basically it is a case of temptation overload. Getting a bit on the side is so easy here, and so readily available, once you started you could never stop!

I really am a one Filipina kind of Bear. I think it will take several
lifetimes and a dozen alter-ego's to figure out the Filipina I have,
so why ruin a good thing? My Asawa (wife, or spouse) loves me to death. In fact she has mentioned my imminent demise should I ever stray more than once. For a little over five feet in her rubber slippers, she packs a mean Bolo! (large machete) This little gal used to drag half a ton of Carabao down to the mud wallow every afternoon after school, so a bear is no challenge to her. She's skinny, but she's strong!
Strong willed, too! All those of you who married a Filipina because you know Asian women are subservient raise your hands. I said "married", you're still looking, put your paw down! The informed among us know the Philippines, like most of Asia, is a matriarchal society. That means the women wield the real power, they're just smart enough to let us fella's pretend we are in charge. They don't feel the need to rub it in our faces like so many of their liberated western sisters. Mind you, they do have some strange habits. Like eating green mango's and bagoong, or shrimp paste. Or sending the Bana (that's us) out for fried banana's when Buntis (pregnant-you're getting quite a lesson in Cebuano, aren't you). At 3am. Do you know how many Fried Banana-Q sellers are peddling their wares at 3am in Bogo? One. Luckily for me! Or how about the time we were driving past the cane fields and she just had to have some sugar cane.


There was I, knife in one hand, purloined sugar cane stalk in the other when I was caught red-pawed! Out from the fields lumbered the biggest cane truck ever made in a Korean shipyard. This one had Panamanian registration it was so big. And filled to the gunwales with Bolo toting cane workers. I tossed the cane into the car, explained the wife was pregnant and got the hell out of Dodge. Then we came upon an even bigger cane truck loaded to overflowing with cane. Asawa's response? "Look at all that sugar cane! Hmmm!". My only thought was where the bloody hell would I hide the damn truck? Once they get a hankering for something, you can't fight it. Just go with the flow!
