care? No! They are people who are making their own dating expression by costume dating and it's not just for losers.

Blog postPoem originally posted on Sampaguitas Page
A Filipina smile is like a flower in bloom
Pretty as a treasured work of art
Valued for its grace and perfection,
Beauty is encompassing.
There is harmony in a Filipina,
the way she moves and interacts.
She is noted everywhere, her
Kindness and charm are infectious.
Who would not love a Filipina?
Soft-spoken and refine,
faithful and simply wonderful.
