I don't know how I feel about this story, I am conflicted. Motuo man gud ko gyud anang ka Maslow's hierarchy of needs. When you're at the very bottom rung, when all you are able to think about is how to put food on the table from day to day, the last thing you'd be worrying about is your rights as a person or as a woman, in this case. When hunger is a very real threat to you, all you think about is food. That is your immediate need. And a person will go to any lengths to alleviate/remedy that need. Mao intawon atong mga dalagang Pinay mangandoy maminyog foreigner kay mao ilang pagtuo nga makasulbad sa ilang problema sa kapobrehon. Marrying a foreigner means freedom from hunger, it means they will never have to worry about getting hungry, or if they can afford to buy food for the next day.
I don't advocate marriage to foreigners but I don't discourage anyone from doing it either. To me, it is a calculated risk. Murag 50-50 ba, it can go either way. And it is no different than marriage to a Pinoy. Marriage is risky in itself, whether you're with a foreigner or a pinoy.
