About Us

Real experience. Honest advice. Marriage-focused.

Our Story

Filipina Dating Insider was born out of frustration. Frustration with dating sites full of fake reviews, "guaranteed love" scams, and advice from people who've never set foot in the Philippines.

Our team consists of expats and locals who have actually lived the reality of the Philippine dating scene. We've navigated the traditional courtship process (Ligaw), handled the nuances of "Tampo," and helped many people through the complex visa processes to bring their partners home.

Our mission is to provide the "no-nonsense" truth that flashy dating apps won't tell you.
