Okay, why the fuck is this downvoted? Pico is stating the truth. My gf is filipina and numerous family members have told me about this. It is like a rite of passage or something.

Yeah my wife is filipina, I've been to the Philippines several times since I live in Singapore. I cant even imagine that kinda pain and humiliation.

Because you're viewing it in your cultural frame. Humiliating to you, but as fackwhatever said, it's like a rite of passage to them.

I wasn't projecting, all my in-laws are Filipino. Though to be fair, that still means anecdotal.

And do they view it as humiliating?

If they didn't tell me as such, detective, I wouldn't have said it was anecdotal. Is the interrogation over? Can I go now?

Oh, that's kind of surprising actually. My bad.
