You’ve fallen in love with a girl from the island of Cebu in the Philippines. Of course, you want her to fall in love with you too, huh?

Many men who travel to the Philippines often have their sights set on the province of Cebu for many reasons. Sometimes, there’s no need to go anywhere else in the Philippines to find mountains and beaches because Cebu has it all.

But aside from mountains and beaches, finding love is more than enough reason to book your travel. The question is, is a Cebuana really what you need as a lifetime partner?

They have their physical attributes that lure in men, yes, but is that enough for you to really go all in?

Well, let’s see shall we?

What makes a Filipina an ideal lifetime partner

If you need a reason to fully commit yourself to a Cebuana, then you are reading the right article. Cebuanas, and Filipinas in general, have traits that make them ideal brides or girlfriends. Some of which are the following:

1. They are natural homemakers.

Filipinos place a strong emphasis on their families and regard them as their moral support. This is why filial piety is among the most highly regarded instilled values in the Filipino community today.

So if a Filipina were to marry you, you will be family. And to a Filipina, family is a priority, therefore you are her priority.

Filipinas enjoy taking care of their families. They also make excellent wives as well as amazing mothers. Filipino moms are often revered as resilient, and they are indeed worthy of such praise. After all, it’s not easy to balance your career and your personal life at the same time.

But to them, family is everything. It’s no secret how tight-knit most Filipinas are with their families. After all, family is considered to be the foundation of social life for most Filipinos.

Just know that if the Cebuana you like ends up being your wife, you will be in good hands. The same goes for your future children.

2. Commitment is very important to them.

You can fully expect your Filipino girlfriend to get you into a long-term commitment relatively quickly.They don’t like dragging out the relationship, especially if it’s obvious that it isn’t going anyway. Most of them aren’t afraid to ask you point-blank where the relationship is going if she’s feeling it’s slightly stagnant.

Sure, there are some that like to fool around, but infidelity exists everywhere too. Filipinas may be more traditional than most women in the world but all of them aren’t the same.

Still, you should heed this warning if you’re only looking for short term fun: A lot of them don’t go around sleeping with men. They don’t deal with guys who only want to get laid. They expect a full relationship and they expect absolute loyalty.

If that is also what you want out of a partner, then falling in love with a Cebuana was a good call.

3. They are religious.

The Philippines is a Catholic country so the majority of its people are Christians and Catholics. A typical Filipina would be faithful to her religion, though she won’t work as hard to convert you if both of your religions differ. But you need to know that growing up in a Catholic family shaped the way her thinking process works.

Her values, morals and upbringing are there in the little things she does. She will expect loyalty in marriage because the Catholic way teaches that. She will be a perfect example of a wife and a mother because she grew up being taught how to be wife-material. She will take care of her family because her own family took care of her.

So respect her religion. She was raised to be faithful and God-fearing and her faith is part of who she is today. If you don’t respect her religion then you aren’t respecting her.

4. They’re gorgeous.

If you don’t believe that Filipina beauty stands out among the rest, then just take a look at the World Beauty Pageant’s history.

Filipinas are uniquely beautiful because they are mixed with foreign bloodlines. Each Pinay represents a different culture. You will find that they come in different shapes and sizes too. Some will look like the typical dark skinned and petite girl, some will look more Chinese than Filipina, and some will look like Latinas.

There are so many features that lure in foreign men, such as the tan skin, the bright smile or the slim physique. Their beauty is also shown in the way they carry themselves. Every move is graceful and demure, showing off femininity that other women don’t have.

Every woman is unique but the simplicity that Filipinas, especially Cebuanas, show is admirable. This isn’t to discredit other women’s beauty, of course. Filipinas just have their own uniqueness, same with other races that make them desirable.

5. When they love, they love a LOT.

A lot of the women in the Philippines cherish the feeling of love. They give what they get and more. If you treat a Cebuana right then she will give back two-fold.

She may be a little clingy and too doting but that’s expected from a woman who loves you and is willing to take care of you. Remember that Filipinas love to take care of others, especially the people they love. Expect to be treated with affection.

6. They are well-educated.

Education is very important in the Philippines. They value it more than you think, since parents are very strict with their children when it comes to their college education. If someone in the Philippines has graduated from a course, the family will do more than just celebrate.

They will throw a party, invite their other relatives and friends and brag about the one who graduated. They take pride in the fact that one of their own is on their way to becoming a really successful doctor/engineer/architect/police officer/firefighter.

So you can expect that a lot of the Filipinas you meet will stand toe to toe with you in intellect. Granted, not all women are lucky enough to even go to college. But those who didn’t are still formidable. Just because they didn’t finish college doesn’t mean they aren’t smart.

So expect a Cebuana to stand as your equal if you two end up being a couple.

Yes, it’s a good decision.

If this article is the push that you need to pursue her, good. Honestly, if someone is already in love, there shouldn’t even be a need for a push. Your own feelings will do the pushing for you.

So go ahead and woo her. She might just be the one that will end up wearing your last name.
