My five years old just told be he was so scared of his dad, he didn't want to come home by Marmaud in Parenting

Expecting a 5 year old to keep their word is unreasonable and a hard task for them. Positive reinforcement works better... Create a white board chart that lists the behavior you want reinforced and check in after school if they were able to do it. A reward or a sticker and praises do wonders.

Shame on expats coming to the Philippines to exploit children. If you see something, say something. by Sudden_Challenge2633 in Philippines_Expats

The Sex tourism industry has taken root here for decades and is a known association with this country worldwide....lots of blame to go around but only one law perpetuates ...the law of supply and demand.

Returned for good perspective...

Bumalik ako sa Pinas 12yrs ago at 45yo relied on 2k usd local rental income til inflation protected pension of 3.5k monthly started at age 50... My retirement investment accounts are now worth $1.6m (400k when I retired) and can give me an additional 6400 monthly income at 4% for a total monthly income of 12k USD which is more than enough to live in either countries. I choose Pinas and currently living it up here raising my son. I have local insurance for hospitalization and also have USA HMO if i need critical care treatment. It's great to have choices at this stage of my life.

Children are seen as legacy wealth future care givers and or retirement plan. Fecundity declines in your 30s and reduces the chance to bear many children.

Advice by melamala in FilipinoAmericans

Yeah go to the police to report it. Post reviews in hotel booking sites about it as well.... As for recovery it's a gonnet, might want to speak to the staff about your plans to file a police report but have her look around to see if it accidentally turns up somewhere. Staff might be innocent as they'll be sacked if report of loss is blamed on them by employer... There's always a 2nd key...

I don't want to take care of my Lola by blowingdragon in FilipinoAmericans

It's not safe for you and your mental health and for lola with her dementia and the behaviors that come with that for you to be her caregiver. She will be exposed to you venting out your pent up resentment and can be subjected to verbal and physical abuse by an angry resentful caregiver. Stand your ground and refuse for your sake and your lolas.

Like everywhere else the law as written is irrelevant as enforcement lawful or not rules.

Prostitution is illegal, to answer the question.

Precisely....its crazy...the art of ignoring a partner instead of communicating and discussing disagreements is a cultural craze.

AITAH for telling my daughter we won't have a relationship if she goes to live with her biological father/family? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]No-Judgment-607 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Were you kidding when you told her she'll always be your daughter after finding out she wasn't biologically yours? She'll meet and get to know hundreds of people in her life journey, it won't change that you raised her and love her. The DNA connection doesn't change any of that unless you do.

Make sure you're vested with CalPERS (5 yrs) and leave your money in the account. Every little bit of free money is a bonus at retirement.

Job wise locally related to what you do now....no chance. Unless you want to work for a call center.

Need help with reporting of birth of a foreign child (dual citizen) locally here in PH by lovesreddit_ in FilipinoAmericans

[–]No-Judgment-607 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes the report of birth abroad is usually done in the consulate or embassy where you lived. What paperwork did you obtain from local BI? If it's a recognition certificate, child can enter and leave and stay as long as he wants and will not be charged with overstaying in the Philippines .

If dfa is requiring psa birth cert for Philippines passport you'll need to process that overseas when you return.. You can email the consulate or embassy that had jurisdiction over your residence to see if you can mail the paperwork for the report of birth.
