That was a passing comment a Filipina wrote years ago that the Spaniards saw them as compliant and eager to learn. I also read some parts of observations on the Filipinos by the original Spaniards arriving and saw the women strong.
I see the filipina women very industrious, and yes I notice a number who are very dominant. Then the men by them appear very passive. So I would think this area would be interesting to reflect on. Does this passivity go back to the colonialists? I also read the original Filipino men were strong.
I tend to have an impression that colonial Spain some how broke the spirit of the local men there.
And maybe the Philippines’ restoration will begin with its men…and the first point is going back to Church.
Lots of times in old world Latin cultures, the women are in church and the men say they are Catholic,l but sitting in the car waiting for their wives to come out.
BTW, I am married to a macho Pinoy…
Manong Boy. He is first born of 4 sons.
