Looking for love ❤️ on the Faroe Islands | DW Documentary

Around 50 thousand people live on the Faroe Islands. But too many of them are men. Faroese women go abroad to study. Many don’t return. Men stay behind to live off the sea. Now the islands are enjoying a growing influx of women from the Philippines.
Antonette gets her folk dress out of the closet. Like a native Faroese woman, she’s getting ready for the Ólavsøka, the national holiday of the Faroe Islands. The 36-year-old actually comes from the metropolis of Manila. But life in the Philippines was too loud, stressful and uncertain for her. Antonette sought security and safety and married Regin Egholm a year ago. Her first daughter was born nine months later. Her new happiness on the other side of the world is complete.
Antonette is one of about 200 Filipinas who now live on the islands in the North Atlantic. Rain instead of sun, dried fish instead of tropical fruits - at first, their new life on the edge of Europe was a culture shock for many of them. And yet Filipinas and Faroe Islanders often share the same values. Family, faith and tradition are important in both cultures.
These values are often reason enough for young, liberated Faroese women to leave. The only university is too small and most men too old-fashioned. As a result, there are about 15 percent more men than women living on the islands today. The government is trying to make the Faroes more attractive. New courses of study and more jobs are supposed to draw Faroese women back to the islands. But in the meantime, women from the Philippines are settling in their new home, where they form the largest ethnic minority on the islands, closely followed by women from Thailand.

    I live in Singapore. There are many Filipinos here. 1 thing i learned from them is that they're very adaptable to new environments and willing to integrate. They keep their culture but they respect local cultures. They make themselves as part of the country they're living in.

    Clicked on this out of boredom rather than curiosity, wasn't disappointed. The relaxed way it was filmed and edited made it engaging enough that i wouldn't have complained if it ran for longer. Narrator: One of Europe's most remote regions shows how integration can work. Integration can only work if immigrants want to integrate, unfortunately, this isn't always the case and some expect a country to change to be like the country they left. You don't have to give up traditions to integrate but it does help by taking part in local traditions. You can have the best of both worlds, only you make it a problem when you demand local traditions change to suit your entitlement. Filipino women are some of the most amazing people i have met, extremely humble.

    I would think integration from women (and men) marrying a native rarely is a problem. the problem usually comes from taking in too many people with a diffrent culture and no connection to the country or the people there. And also placing them all in the same neighbourhoods so they have very limited interactions with the native people. I'd say the problem is rarely with the immigrants, but with the politicians who "compete" with their peers in accepting the most immigrants. because in their eyes more immigrants means you're a better person.

    smadge100 Why do you think that it is prostitution for a husband to provide for his wife and children? Do you think that a wife should cook, clean, do laundry, birth babies, raise the children, and earn half the family income while the husband gets to keep his income all to himself? I am a high wage earning white American woman and even I would not marry a man that will not provide for me and the children we will have together. It is not just to clean up after a grown man, cook his meals, wash his close, birth and raise kids his kids, and then be called a prostitute or reduced to a bed buddy just because the man brings his paycheck to the table. What the fuck does a man actually contribute to a family if not his paycheck since the woman does everything else for the family. Please don’t bother with saying his persona and love is enough because it is not when the wife is contributing her time, labor, and resources.

It is not the weather that defines whether you will feel lonely or not, but more if you find companionsship, and in many places you will find the warmest and kindest people in the cold places. Given it is hard to a first get close to them, but when you do, then you get a friend for life. Often people in the cold places are more genuine than in warmer places.

She should be the role model of the Filipinas who are in Faroe Islands. Addennum: The Filipina women living in Faroe Islands were also featured in a local tv show (kmjs). After watching it, I got the impression that some of the Filipinas in the island are male-ordered-brides. The Faroese dude is also correct. Most of the Filipinas will do the household chores for their family. (It is questions my identity if I am really a Filipina. I am too lazy to do household chores. Hahaha)

Also, it wasn't well explained why women were leaving, they wanted 'excitement' and the young men did not? Or was it because women were expected to stay home and keep house and be subservient to their husbands?

Regarding conservative traditions, I'm very left in my politics and very conservative about life style choices and decisions. Self respect and respect for others is essential to me. As long as a society does not harm the vulnerable, protects all people equally under the law, enforces the law, and respects nature and animals, I would not mind living in a conservative society. What I loathe and cannot tolerate is corruption, which I believe causes major harm to my species. Very lovely people and families featured in the video and the island is magnificiently beautiful.

    I was on that Island in winter for only three hours, and depression set in. It was the coldest rain I had ever felt in my life and uncomfortable. It is beautiful but your DNA has to match this weather somehow.

    Probably true about the DNA, but Filipinos, as long as they feel they belong to a community or are part of a group, find it easy to smile. The Filipino is generally a social person rather than an individual.

    @Patricia McCoy Huh? Nepotism, deception, amor propio, and religion are big issues to bring in. You're obviously making a point, but in the light of this thread, i fail to see what it is. Whatever it is, though, let's not go there.

    @@Bug_Bait thank you for being open minded. way too many people resort to "men are trash", "women are greedy". how on earth do you counter such statements? what does my brother do when every girl thinks he's an f-boy just because of the way he looks or because he's cynical about marriage due to my parent's marriage not working out? what am I supposed to do when a guy assumes that I'll fall head over heels because he shows some cash? like, I live in a goddamn peugeot boxer *van* to travel and go hiking, I'm a minimalist, I don't want your money - but they still say "oh it's only you, other women are greedy though". sucks because it's like... if I hadn't explained my lifestyle they'd just see me as a stereotype if I were walking down the street. and girls would see my brother as a stereotype too before he gets the chance to explain himself.

    christina fouche I am from the Global South (also known as the developing world) so I feel protective of these women. And I live in the West, where I received my education and have a career, so I am capable of understanding phenomena. I too would love to travel to this place because it looks beautiful. But I do take issue with men specifically targeting a marginalized group. When it’s a trend or a statistic, you question the motives. And the interviews here, from which I quoted, prove my point. Wouldn’t it be easier to seek out women in the region, for example, because of shared backgrounds such as culture and language? Also, Africa is a vast and diverse continent, not a country. “I live in Africa” says very little.

    Well, the guy who said that was not married and did not intend to become married. He thought like that and found it to be bad. So your indignation is actually completely misunderstood! The guy who was married found his wife in Greece and was with her for two years before marriage. The Faeroe Island people are heavy in shipping and go around the globe. In many shipping environments in Denmark and Norway, many people are married to women from abroad. Don't be so easily offended on behalf of other people when you know nothing about it!

    Why do you say the men have little to offer? Most of them are trying really hard to make a living, doing a dangerous job sometimes. It's not always about the money either, some of these men probably have really good characteristics.
