Well you're lucky to have a country like that. And yes, because other countries are richer (much) than Philippines, they tend to find a partner which pinoy(s)/pinay(s) know that is richer. And because of lack of knowledge, a Filipino citizen sometimes uses strategies in order to live. Frankly speaking, Philippines has a low-quality education. (But I'm not reffering to all schools in the Philippines. I mean those Public Schools, most of them.)

Here's an example of a pinoy strategy, the one we used to call "rackets/raket". Even though you have a job, you usually find other way to earn income whether you'll earn high or just enough. (Most people who are doing these things are those who were not able to go to school or just finished/reached elementary.) -- There are "barkers, cigarrette vendors on the streets, etc. etc."

And about what you are asking, No I haven't been with a non-pinay/pinoy. I used to be friends with some because of forums (like this, UN). But I've never been into.
