Mail-order bride is a term applied to women who publish their profile in mail order bride catalogs with intent to marry someone from other developed countries.  Mail-order brides traditionally come from developing countries;  a majority of them are from Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam and other countries in Southeast Asia,  countries of the former Soviet Union, and Latin America.  Historically, men would select these mail-order brides from such catalogs for the purpose of marriage.  But looking at how much society has matured and advanced since those days, the label ‘mail order bride’ is utterly insulting to any woman.

Please note that we are not a mail order bride service.  At FilipinaRomance.com we do not offer or provide women from Philippines as Filipina mail order brides.  Our services include more than what a  general Filipina mail order brides catalog provides!  Male members enrolled in our site are able to meet prospective single marriage minded Filipina women who have intention to become a  beautiful Filipina bride.

Most Filipina women enrolled in our site are educated and speak very good English, so communicating with them is not a hindrance for western men.  Most Filipina girls will expect the prospective groom to communicate with them through chat, long distance calls before they agreee to meet them in person in Philippines.  There is nothing mail order about that! Online dating is a modern way to get introduced to the opposite sex for dating and marriage, and many big sites like Yahoo Personals and MSN Personals are operating on the same line.  We simply provide an opportunity to Filipino women to find their lifetime partners online, using most sophisticated interface and tools.

Publicly, the Government of Philippines opposes the practice of mail-order brides, and they have also passed a law prohibiting mail-order-bride companies from advertising in Philippines. However, the law only stays on paper and not enforced with full support of the legal machinery.
