We all know that no matter what hospital you go to here in the United States, there are always an abundance of Filipina nurses, caregivers, nurses aids, etc., who have come from the Philippines..
That's because most Filipina-Pinay ladies are not only very accepting of men with physical disabilities, but are also very supportive, attentive, loving, caring and even tend to spoil a good man who may be physically challenged. This is primarily because for the most part, Filipina-Pinay ladies are raised to appreciate a GOOD husband, regardless of his age or physical and financial situation, or nationality. To understand why Filipina- Pinay are so supportive to the disabled or aged, you must first understand that in the Philippines, they do not discard or place the disabled or elderly into convalescent homes or hospitals as is done here in USA. Instead, the entire family lovingly and warmly and without complaint, comes together and takes care of the individual. In fact, quite the opposite of the American norm is true!
Philippines is still basically a matriarchal society and its customs and culture do not consider an older or disabled person as less than whole. So by their very nature, Filipina are almost always loving, caring and perfect caregivers to their spouse or relatives. In other words, should you meet a genuinely nice Filipina lady and her family, you need not have any worry's about rejection or pity.
In the event you wish to marry a Filipina, Pinay lady, I strongly suggest and urge you to be smart and think ahead. The entire petition time will usually take between nine and twelve months or more, so why not take advantage of this "dead time"? Due to the number of CAREGIVERS sought by employers in CANADA, AUSTRALIA and other countries, a Filipina, Pinay can take a SIX MONTH CAREGIVERS COURSE. For a so-called handicapped or disabled individual, it would be foolish not to pay for and send her to a six month college CAREGIVERS COURSE while awaiting petition approval, medical clearance, embassy interviews, etc.. Not only will this help her to be prepared for a husband who may need a little special attention or assistance, but it will also help to alleviate the boredom she would otherwise suffer while waiting. THIS IS A WIN WIN SITUATION FOR BOTH OF YOU! Imagine, for LESS than you would pay for one months salary here in the states for a caregiver, you could afford to send a Filipina through a complete caregivers course! WOW, now you have killed FOUR BIRDS with one stone! I.e.:
