i would have to agree and disagree with you on this one.. i agree the we support are our parents when they're old.. BUT i disagree to call it dependency..
i think you can call it dependency when abuse comes to the scene, like they ask you for more than you can give or more than what they need..
i would like to call it more of a "responsibility".. we filipinos support our parents when they're old because we believe that we owe so much to them..
our parents raised us, fed us, sent us to school, etc etc.. so when they're old, it's our time to take care of them.. kind of a payback time..
in the philippines, we dont send our parents to the nursing homes or assisted living facilities because we feel and we know that it's our own responsibility to take care of our parents..
here in the US, most people send their parents to these nursing homes or assisted living facilities because they're too busy to take care of them..
well, what im tryin to say is filipino culture has so much effect on how they act..
a lot of filipinos dont save because they know they will be taken care of by their children when they get old..
a lot of filipinos couldnt save because they help their own families and their extended families..
and it's true, a lot of filipinos dont save because as much as they want to, they cant! because what they earn is just enough for their needs..
so to OP: i wish u realize how filipinos and u are soooo different.. so u CANT compare how things are and how they work..
.

just so you know i have a meetup.com account.. i'm a member of 3 socal filipino groups on that website and i posted similar questions as well..
i also prefer to post here and i don't see anything wrong with that.. thank you for your reply though..

nonsense post!

nonsense post!

I feel that I need to back up those who feel that OP's story is well... fishy.
I am Russian. I have been learning English since I was 7. I have US college degree and US Master's degree. I lived in US for a good while. But by no means my English is so flawless as OP's. I read through all her posts and I couldn't detect EVEN ONE Русицизм. If your English is so perfect after only two years in US, thumbs up girl, you must be genius. If that's the case, I suggest you putting your brains to digging yourself out of the situation you are claiming you are in.

once again

st. luke's in ermita is not a hospital, it's just a clinic for immigration purposes that's why it's called st. luke's medical extension clinic (SLEC)..
st. luke's in quezon city is the main hospital and it's called st. luke's medical center quezon city..
it is the best hospital in the philippines that's why it's the only hospital accredited by the US, canada and new zealand to do their immigration medical exams..
the medical for visa is very important and complicated, im not sure if you read the posts here abt medical experiences but SLEC is very strict because the USEM requires them to be..
she can't go to her interview without finishing her medical because it is the requirement to do the medical before the interview..
as i remember after the medical, SLEC holds the passports and medical records then SLEC fowards them to the USEM..
also, even if u file a complaint to the USEM, it's never gonna help because it is the USEM who gave SLEC those stupid procedures..

couldn't agree more!
i like this post.. shows that you're mature and smart!
not like some people who carelessly says sh*t abt filipinos when they're married to one..
