Hello, Tom! Thank you for your story. I want to tell you that Filipinos have already reached Ukraine! I know that some wealthy families prefer having a Filipino maid or nanny. In employment agencies say that Filipinos are VERY sociable, obedient and loyal to their masters.
Well, when I was reading your comment on the local women, I caught myself thinking that we have quite the opposite situation. Women here are protected by laws only on the paper. In reality, almost all the key positions are occupied by men, a man is always right, the place of a woman is in the kitchen ... It's very difficult for a woman to start and run business here because competitors are men who don't consider women to be competitors. About family life, women often say: 'I've got three kids - a girl, a boy and a husband'. That's why we are looking for protection and care, and support, and understanding.
So, dear gentlemen, we need real men!
