    Ana and I first met on the cherry blossom website in January of 2012.We became good friends on Facebook. Ana could not get on the internet that much So me and her message each other, every so often. I went to Singapore in October of 2012 because I thought was in love with another girl.After getting back I knew that I did not love the other girl. we was just so different, there was no spark when I saw her. I met another girl on cherry blossom website that lives in Surigao. I decided to visit. I was still keeping in touch every so often on Facebook with Ana. Before I left I message Ana that I will like to visit her while I was in the Philippines .Ana lives in Manila. I was going to stay in manila for a couple of days then fly to Surigao to see the other girl.I still remember when I first met Ana in person.I was at the best western oxford suite lounge bar talking to some other guests and I thought I heard something I turn around, there was Ana I felt something inside of me.I just knew she was the girl I had been looking for all my life.We left the hotel and went to a mall and sit on some park benches, neither one of us said anything for a while then we started talking and found out we both like each other a lot but we was both just to shy to let the other one know. Later we went and ate. Then Ana went back with me to the hotel. I gave her some small souvenirs from the U.S.A and ask if i could see her again before I left for suriago.She knew about the other girl and why I came to the Philippines. We met again and spent the day walking and talking and even got lost in Manila for a while. We went back to the hotel and had dinner. I had a coke and Ana had a mango juice.while we was eating Ana ask me if there was coke a cola in America. I told her that is where coke is originated from, we both just laugh so hard. I.After we ate, we listen to the band that was playing that night. The band ask me if I had a request. I ask them to play wonderful tonight by Eric Clapton. Ana spent the night with me at the hotel. The next day Ana rode with me to the airport it was very hard leaving her. When I got to Suriago I knew it was a mistake leaving Ana. The other girl was nice but I just did not have that feeling I did, like I had when I was with Ana. While I was there. Ana and I text each other every night. I was suppose to stay 4 days in one hotel then another 4 days in another hotel.but I miss Ana too much.I cancel my other hotel reservation and bought a one way ticket from Surigao back to manila. After meeting Ana I did not want to be with another girl.I just visit with the other girl and her 5 year old daughter during the day at night time they went home. I told the other girl about Ana and how I felt. When I arrive in manila Ana met me at the airport. I spent the rest of my time with her. When I got back to the states. We kept in touch every day thru cell phones text. I have 2 cell phone. one phone is unlock I have a smart Philippines sim card in it to make texting her easier. We also chat on Facebook webcam every time we can.After a couple of months. We decided we want to spend our lives together and I ask Ana online if she will marry me, she said yes. We decided it would be best to get marry in the Philippines so her family could be at her wedding. Her parents lives in pres Garci Bohol.I made plans to go back to the Philippines in May 2014.Before I left I made Plans with Pirmi travel service,for a Romantic cruise for Ana and I.when I arrive in Manila Ana met me at the Airport, we went to the hotel, then a couple of hours later the driver from the travel company came and took us to Manila bay for the cruise. It was a very nice romantic cruise our table on the ship had a picture of us together with a white table cloths and rose petals on it we also had a bottle of wine and dinner.They also supply a butler and the band play songs for Ana and I. Then it was time for dessert they bought us out a nice cake.While we was eating desert I ask Ana again to marry me and place the engagement ring that I had bought with me on her finger It was a very romantic night for Ana and IOn may 20th 2014 Ana and I was officially married.I was not as nervous as I thought I will be,maybe because when I am with Ana I feel so relax and at ease. We had the wedding at her parents house in Pres Garcia Bohol. It was nice her mom and aunts and cousin decorated everything. The mayor came over and we had the ceremony. Then we had the reception. There was all kinds of food including the Lechon and a videooke machine. I met and visit with a lot of Ana family and friends.it is October now.we had been married for 5 months I still feel that way I felt when I first met Ana.She will always be my sweet Ana. I can not wait until she is here with me
    February 5th 2022 Me and Ana Have been marry for almost 8 years. I still love her as much as the first time I met her.

    I got married in the Philippines to my wife. Marriage is recognized everywhere. No need to remarry. Your finance will not be able to get U.S passport just because she is marry to you, she needs to be naturalized as U.S citizen. sounds like the person giving this advice is a scammer or does not know There is no legal shortcut to get her over here. However, when I did it there were ways, you could speed up the process once your petition was at the national visa center but that was to speed up the time a little. It did not bypass any requirements

    buying load for Philippines is pretty cheap So if you are not sure about that. then maybe you do not trust her. I had just the opposite I went to the Philippines to visit my wife before we was marry and bought a sim card over there for my unlock phone and ran out of load and my now wife bought me extra load for it

    Hi, I am not sure if I have any more info that is useful since other posters have already given good answers and advice. I married my wife in the Philippines in May 2014. I did fill out the contact to legally marry and made an appointment at the us embassy in manila to get it notarize, that is the reason you go to the embassy, but I read another post you can go to other notarize places in the Philippines that might be better I do not know. When I did it you had to go to embassy after you get that notarize you can go to the civil building, we went to the one in Manila as that is where my wife was living at the time. They go over your info and depending on age of your fiancé there. There are requirements I just do not remember exactly. But bring extra money.as they will drop the extra requirement. Then it took about 10 days to get the Marriage license, after you getit,t you can marry anywhere in the philippines. I was little worry as I had 15 days in the philippines We got the Marriage license and flew to Bohol from Manila. We got married at her parents' house. The mayor of the town they live in officiated the wedding Just make sure your trip there is at least 15 days to be able to get Marriage license in time. Also, ask for rush on NSO marriage License as that is what they require for I-30 visa. I did not and got aRFE return for evidence I sent in the local Marriage certificate instead of the NSO as that is what I had when I submitted info for I-30. I had to request a copy from the NSO in the Philippines for a copy of the Marriage certificate Congratulation on your future wedding best wishes

    Thanks for your reply I actually been to Bohol 3 times but have never visit the beaches there. we are planning on staying at my wife parents place they live in Pres Carlos p Garcia Bohol. Very far from everything. My wife does want to treat her family to the Beach so Alona beach sounds good. we do want to go to Boracay Neither one us has been there. That sounds like a good place, my wife been in the U.S since 2015 we been back a couple of time to the Philippines to 'Visit but this time I want to make it special for her and she wants to make it special for her family. when i found out my wife sister wanted to go to Singapore, I was just not sure if she had any requirements to travel is her first time to go to another country. Thank you.

    thank you for your reply, I did find out that my wife sister is vaccinated. So it should not be any problem for her unless there is other requirements

    Her wants are not your responsibility. No but it is my wife's. She is very close to her family and has been planning this trip since coronavirus lockdown. My wife wants all of her family together when we visit. She is paying for all of her family expenses. My wife been working a lot of overtime and saving money for this. So, the money for her sister to go to Singapore is not a concern to me.The only thing that upset me a little was that I just wanted to have some time with just my wife and daughter before we go back to Denver. I could tell my wife no, but I will probably get the Tampo treatment. If she "wants" to go, why isn't she doing the research instead of you. My wife sister does not have easy access to a computer, I guess she could use her cellphone. The reason I was researching for her is that I was looking at requirements for me my wife and daughter. which was easy to find info for. So, I thought I will look up information for my wife sister. But that where I do not find much info or sites have conflicting info Most info i found is about foreigner traveling to and from Philippines. Even Tho I do not like the ideal. I do not want my wife to buy her sister a ticket and her sister gets offloaded at airport because she did not have everything she needed.

    Hello. Me and my wife are planning a trip to the Philippines in late July, to visit her family. We plan on visiting different parts of the Philippines. Manila, Boracay, Bohol. Last 3 days we were planning on going to Singapore and flying back to Denver. i like that country and wanted to take my wife there just us and our daughter, but her sister who lives in Manila want to go. It kind of upset me because we are paying round trips Air, for my wife sister husband and their 4 kids, to go to Bohol from Manila to visit My wife parents. I have some questions. I hope someone can help. I. have research but not found information I am looking for. 1. I know if you are unvaccinated a negative test and health card is required for entry into Philippines. Is the Negative test good for all of Philippines or do you have to provide another one if you go to another province? 2. How easy will it be for her sister to go to Singapore? I know she does not need visa, but my wife told me, her sister needs to fly with us to be able to prove funds. For staying there. 3. I read on a couple of sites that Filipinos traveling to visit another country need Corno virus Insurance is that true? 4. What are the requirements for my wife sister to renter The Philippines. Does she need a negative test if Unvaccinated? Does she need a health card to reenter? Me and my wife will be flying back to Denver from Singapore. if someone can answer some or all of questions. I will appreciate it Thanks
