Lorena G - How to Write a Filipina Penpal

Welcome to my website!

Are you about to write a Filipina but dont know how to start? Well you're in the right place coz I can help you. Take it from me, I'm a true blue Filipina myself! Here's how:

1. Get 10 addresses of Filipina ladies to write. Don't worry, not all of them
    will reply for one reason or another, you are just making sure you will
    get some replies thereby increasing your chances of finding the Filipina
    lady you're looking for.

2. Prepare your introduction letter. Its okay to make identical letters. Just dont
    send them to two ladies living in the same locality. If you can hand-write
    each letter, the better.

2. Its important to send your picture with your introduction letter. Since you
    are introducing yourself and you have already seen her picture, its only fair
    that you send her your picture also. Believe me, your are increasing your
    chances of getting a reply if you enclose your picture.

3. Tell her briefly about yourself, your work, your hobbies, your children if any,
    how long you've been divorced if you are. Tell her also about your family and
    about the place where you live.

4. Be honest with your motives. Tell her why you wrote her and about your
    interest in knowing her further. Dont mention anything about love and romance
    at this point. Remember that you are only introducing yourself and just wish
    to know her more.

5. Dont forget to be polite. Filipina ladies like nice men and they like to read nice
    letters. Pretend that you are already her friend when you write her. Dont make
    sarcastic jokes and remarks. And dont brag about how much money you make,
    how expensive your car is, etc. Doing so will just send your letter to the trash.

6. When you have already mailed your letters, be patient while waiting for the ladies
    to reply. It will take about 1-2 weeks, or even longer in some instances, for your
    letter to reach her, depending on her location.

So there you have it! I hope you will meet the Filipina of your dreams. If you need help with the Filipino language,
Just ask me about it in my guestbook and I'll translate it for FREE!
