I courted my wife in the traditional way. I showed respect to her grandfather and we became friends that lasted until his death. I had "The interview" which came as a surprise event where the purpose was quite clear..."What are your intentions?" My response, "I am a serious, marriage-minded man.". I am now part of the family and I am grateful for my Filipino family. May God bless the Philippines. I have some fond memories, like the night I stayed up drinking beer and fighter wine with grandpa and he confided his painful history as a resistance fighter against the Japanese occupation, at one time breaking down in tears about his memories of the bloody deaths of friends and relatives. I'm not a drinker, but I drank with him that night till the wee hours. He told me small tokens of affection he shared with this wife, who had been gone for 10 years. "My little bird" he called her, with tears in his eyes. From that night, I loved Tatay till his last day and even other members of the family commented on how close we were. Rest in Peace, Dominador , till we meet again.

I like the old fashioned and traditional ways. The culture there is like a gift. So much wisdom gets thrown out in the West when people discard traditions.

Yes! Traditional women are beautiful. Every man desires one

Hi Rubeauti, Your description of "Ligaw" reminds me of how my grandparents did their courtship here in Switzerland over 100 years ago... Admiring the letters they wrote to each other during courtship on Sundays inspires respect and admiration. My family keeps them as a valuable testimony of a bygone area but also as an example of how deep feelings evolve. Best regards & keep safe, François

Philippines Ligaw is no longer applicable today. Now women use dating apps and prefer to accept as much free lunchea , gifts and money. I totally disagree that there is a spirit of Ligaw. 99% of women nowadays only take men for a ride to enjoy free lunches and free cash gifts.

Men who will fly halfway around the world and hope to meet just an ordinary woman... tend to enjoy meeting traditional expectations. Being able to look a woman's father and mother in the eye is important to any real relationship. I would say that most men would prefer a strong bond with his in-laws. She is selecting a pillar of a man who will strengthen her family... not just be around for her own comfort. Relationships have a deeper importance when you consider the effects they will have on existing and future family members.

Salamat Rubeauti! Important information for us foreigners to know about courting a Filipina 😊

I like this traditional or old school way of dating.

I agree with you completely and what I grew up with many years ago. I hope that is till what is truly how it still is now and that our modern world hasn't spoiled the innocence of past.

The blending of cultures for a westerner & filipina is obviously necessary for a successful union. Each must respect the others culture and be willing to compromise so as to establish the relationship boundries that works for both.

What does the suitor do if the girl's parents denies his request to court (or marry) their daughter? Is there sometimes a test of his sincerity or otherwise, something he can do to change their minds? Thank you for the informational and interesting video.

So smart of you to frame the opposite of ligaw as 'cinematic' love.

I was about to scream nooo Rubeauti! Don't get married until we go hiking, do mma training, and fishing together.

Very good information Miss Rubeauti. I lived in the Philippines for a year and I only learned a small bit of the culture. I married a Filipina and I am still learning after all these years. I think my Filipina picked up our culture faster than I picked up yours. Love the Philippines.

Its not only about the foreigners to learn your culture. The same way filipina need to learn about our culture and respect it. Two must meet in the middle or if its only one way then the relationship will end up eventually!

Hi Rubeauty, it’s so nice of you to bring up the Philippine tradition. It’s the minimum for us to show always respect to a philippina and her family. I really like that. It’s always up to us to show respect and not expect the philippina to learn our lifestyle

Rubeauti I appreciate you explaining the meaning of ligaw I enjoy learning new about your country the Philippines 🇵🇭 keep up the good work

Thanks for this insight. I expect I will be alone most of the time when I move there but it's better than being alone here because I will experience sincerity when I go into town.

Rebeauti your the perfect partner in a relationship cause your fun and adventurous and simple and easy and don't want to hurt your partner just love them like they will love you. That's a perfect relationship in my eyes. Oh and most importantly is being able to talk to each other and that Tampo gotta go 😂 I can't handle that cause that a way to avoid communication to your partner. So I love you and your very beautiful ❤️❤️

I'm glad you did a full video on this Rubeauti! Salamat!

In the west dating has declined. Courting ,chivalry

I found my permanent partner around 13 years ago and been long distance dating her for nearly 11 years. How we met was odd, how we grew an interest in each other was also odd. We met on fb years back and we didn't really like or care for each other at first, found each other annoying at first but despite that, we still talked and was peticularly interested in what made each other the way we are. We learned each other and then we fell for each other. First couple years was bumpy but after that, we grew inseparable and grew to the point we kept no secreta from each other and would tell each other what we do in our daily lives, even if it's TMI, awkward or just weird. And we are finally going to live together next year, irs exciting that it's finally happening, it almost feels unreal. And our LDR has lasted longer than most marriages I know of. I have the utmost confidence in her.

Your thumbnail photo is dope.... that look suits you very well 💯

Nice, light, quick vid. I haven’t watched your channel for some time, so I noticed dramatic differences between now and several months ago. I like the new set, which is much more professional, looking than that ugly sofa you used to have (sorry, but it’s true!) I also like the fact that you’re doing the video solo without your “round table“ of girlfriends to “help you” you look much more professional in this setting!👍👍

Great advice Rubeauti ❤️❤️❤️

I think successful relationships between couples from different cultures still depends mostly on the character and personality...regardless of the cultural differences....

Wow. I love this Vlog! Keeping my comment brief. "I have often said. Find the "right" Filipina family, then the right woman shows up automatically." There is no right family, but some hold better values and culture than others. Again, Thank You.

I was keeping my comment to myself but you had to go and say it! 😂. I’ve been in the Filipina circle for 14 years and have seen the total opposite of what she’s talking about. City girls like courting (nice gestures) but it doesn’t take much. In 2023 city girls don’t care much about men meeting their parents and family and getting their approval to date whether it be a local or foreigner. All that was before the explosion of the internet 15 years ago.

Very true. I saw a video of Rubeauti about 9 months titled ' Filipino vs foreigner ', basically they were say Filipino men make lots of romantic gestures etc... whereas foreigners are not that bothered. So in conclusion, I think this is a video about Rubeauti's desires. She wants the money and security of a foreigner, but with a Filipino sense of traditional values. Ain't never going to happen, so I don't see her getting married anytime soon.

Love you and your videos, they're so educational. Thank you

The issue is that even in the Philippines, women are not as traditional as in the old system of ligaw courtship. So why go through traditional courtship, for a woman who is not traditional?

Thanks!

What an amazing thumbnail like a filipina wonder woman🙂

Great video. Very fascinating to learn about your culture. Thanks!

Salamat Ruby. Have an amazing weekend my friend, take care and God bless you 🙏 😊

Hi Rubeauti. I found my perfect soul mate. I’m watching her video right now.😍

Are the expectations for ligaw different if she was previously married? The picture behind you adds a lot of elegance to your video.

RESPECT ITS NOT IN THE US ANY MORE.

Agyamanak Rebeauti!

I would like to see you do a show about Warak kajan from the pinoys perspective and from the woman’s perspective. Interviews with both sides

Sorry mon cher but all I've heard is how the man has to wait and take it slow and send gifts and impress the family members of his future girlfriend or wife if he will be accepted... I've heard nothing about what the woman does for the man except maybe for just being there and available, assuming she's not already dating someone else in the background... Hmmm... doesn't seem fair to me... especially if the man is usually the provider and bread winner, the man is a good catch for the woman that appears she doesn't have to do nothing but be pretty and ready... Hmmm... maybe I don't see it...

Quite an elegant thumbnail.

This sounds a lot more complicated than throwing a spear at her front door

At what age did this LIGAW start? Just asking since it looks like something that would be a decade long process or so.

I found mine. You!

You are a very , beautiful, sweet girl! God bless you always!

hello gwapa Miss Rubeauti

Salamat Po, I need this, I want a traditional Filipina, not a Pinay that simply does as I say, She has to be her own self, challange me if Im wrong, persue her dreams, I want to date with intent I got shot down pretty hardcore, so I proceed with caution. I guess I'll wait till I get settled in Cebu before looking for my forever girl

@Sahrokh

Cebu / Manila etc. might not be the best places to find your "forever girl". They are quickly turning girls into what we have in the west". Even girl obesity is skyrocketing there, as cancerous western "culture" is quickly seeping in.

In this fast paced world ain't got no time for LIGAW

It's complicated.

And Ms gorgeous Rebeauti I don't believe in that shy you filipina ladies have. Please accept all comments and blush. But being shy is for the bird's what woman doesn't like to hear great comments even if she just wakes up her hair a mess or things like that but her partner can look over to her as her eyes open and say I love you as you are no matter what

You are gorgeous from america

I like old school

I see more video being uploaded, were these videos ready for months, like you said in the stream, or did you made them recently? I know even making a simple video takes time unless you have someone to do the editing and producing.

I've probably been blocked already. But just in case I haven't: I have had many interactions with Filipinas. They love to throw the Bible at you, and pretend to be virtuous. I don't know which Bible version they use, but mine says, (Leviticus 21:13) "And he shall take a wife in her virginity." The Filipinas you (as a foreigner) will meet will prattle on and on about "culture" and "tradition." But how does that square with the fact they slept around and had a child out of wedlock. As the author Rafael Sabatini once wrote, "Sinners are oddly blessed with short memories."

Filipinas are going to have to bring something to the table to attract a high value man. Making demands isn't going to get it done. Might work on the sub $1500/month expats, and that's a winning ticket for most low value filipinas.

See, passport bros, even the asian woman have ridiculous requirements and hoops you have to jump through. Just forget about women.

Hello Friend !!

I dont think theres a perfect match.

Can you be my Ligaw, po?

The long history of single mothers makes all this a fairly silly practice!

Oh that thumbnail is going to get you pregnant 🥰

Yeah, sorry do you want the emerald pendent, oh so granny grab bar was clickbait. So unsubscribe bait is fair. Guess what peas are green, rubies are red, synthetic is cheap, natural is not. $25 rubies, $500 rubies, $2500 rubies. Yeah I know the difference. About 21500 ph, for a nice natural emerald pendent. Next

Your culture is not complicated???? 😂🤣😂🤣

To me in my opinion America doesn’t have a culture because America isn’t traditional.The main difference I have learned is the Philippines people are more conservative which leads to being more cultural which leads to being more traditional which is why the Philippines has culture and America doesn’t.Although here in America do have its own way of doing things I just don’t consider that to be culture.Thanks for this video I have also learned a lot about the Philippines from u rubeauti 😅.
