Preface
When it comes to openness, the first thing that comes to mind is the customs industry in Japan or South Korea, but these two countries, no matter how excessive, practice monogamy.
And in Asia, there is a country where a man can marry several wives, and not only that, but the maids in their country are very famous in the whole world......
Polygamy?
When it comes to the Philippines, we always feel that the country is very chaotic, and if we talk about it a little more, at most it is a political understanding.
But if you go into the lives of the Filipino people, you will find a different world, because this country has a lot of institutions that we can't see.
In the Philippines, a man can marry four wives, but there are restrictions, and only a small number of Muslims can have such benefits, and the Muslim population in this country is only a few million.
And although it is possible to marry so many wives, whether you can afford to raise so many wives is another matter, and there is that when there are many wives, how to allocate resources has also become an important issue.
For families with several wives, their status is the same regardless of when they are married.
Resources
There are many people who are curious about whether they can marry several wives if they go to the Philippines, which is indeed more difficult to achieve, because first of all, we do not have the nationality of their country.
Another problem is that only Muslims have this benefit, so a foreigner who wants to marry several wives in the Philippines can wash and sleep.
Divorce difficulties
Ordinary Filipinos practice the marriage system, which is still monogamous, because most of them believe in Catholicism.
They feel that if a person chooses the other half, it is arranged by God, after all, God has arranged the largest, and it is precisely because of this that once people in the Philippines get married, they are not allowed to divorce.
Therefore, they are very cautious about whether to get married, and often they need to know each other for a long time before they decide to enter the palace of marriage.

However, not all marriages are happy, and there are many people who encounter this or that problem after marriage, and even encounter domestic violence.
However, many people will choose to endure because the cost of divorce is too great, first of all, the process is too complicated, and secondly, it proves that one of the parties in the marriage has psychological problems.
It's not just time, they also need to pay a lot of money, which an ordinary Filipino family can't afford, that is, they can't afford to get divorced at all.
In addition to divorce, there is another system in the Philippines that is incredible, contraception is prohibited in this country, so there are really a lot of people with AIDS in this country.
If they really accidentally conceived a child, they could not be defeated, because they felt that the child was an angel sent by God, how could the angel be defeated?
As a result, the country's population is growing very fast, the Philippines has a land area of almost 300,000 square kilometers, but the country's population has exceeded 100 million people.
Overpopulation also brings certain problems to society, after all, the population that a country can afford does have a certain limit, and there are so many jobs in total.
So this part of the Philippines will also face the problem of labor surplus, because they can't find a job, these people start to do nothing.
If they don't have a stable source of livelihood to support themselves, what kind of methods will they use? Yes, it is to rely on crime, so the crime rate in the Philippines is still quite high.
In the slums of the Philippines, there is also a very cruel trade, which is the "wife-buying", because the people in the slums are so poor that they will sell their raised daughters.
As long as the price is right, then some people can buy a young, beautiful and well-shaped woman back, and as for the price, it ranges from tens of thousands.
In the Philippines, there are actually a lot of poor people, nearly forty percent of them are still struggling below the poverty line, and the imbalance of wealth has also bred a lot of social problems, so some people have begun to find ways to earn money......
Filipino maid
The Philippines is also a country that favors sons over women, so if you must choose a person to go out to work, the probability of women going out to work is very high.
However, for those women, going out to work as a nanny is not an unspeakable thing, but a very honorable thing, because in foreign countries, they can get several times higher labor remuneration than at home.
Even the state approves of them going out to work, because after these maids earn money abroad, many of them will return to their own countries, but it is not easy to go out of the country to become maids.
In the Philippines, women can already choose to be a maid at the age of 14, and if they want to go abroad, they must do so at the age of 18.
Before they go abroad, they need to accumulate some experience in their own country, so that they can ensure that they will not panic when they encounter something in the future.
As for the language, there is no need to worry too much, because the Philippines was once colonized by the United States, so some Filipinos can speak English.
The reason why Filipino maids are famous all over the world is that they have a lot of work skills, can keep the house in order, in addition, they also have excellent patience and speak softly to their employers.
What's more, for people in some countries, hiring a Filipino maid is not very expensive, and many people can still afford it.
Later, because the quality of its service was too good, the Filipino maid actually set up a brand, if anyone was rich, but did not hire a Filipino maid, then he would not be regarded as a rich man by others.
There are many Filipino maids who don't want to return to their home country after being away for a long time, but because their family is in the Philippines, they will send money to their home from time to time.
And the group of Filipinos going abroad to work as maids is also very large, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is millions and tens of millions......
