"rural women in the Philippines wield consideratble authority," the housewife in particular. Read more from link

That answers why we have more Philippians in Qatar than males while they enjoying the hard works of these ladies back home mastering the art of Doing Nothing.

hmmnnn.. should i comment on this? big sigh...

I grew up in the Philippines and my mother is a full time housewife, my father works until now, i have a brother and a sister on their tertially level planning to pursue law after.

Filipina were not really intended as a plain housewife nevertheless its what they want, thats the reason why both male and female go to school to study.

We are not dominated because we still believe that Man is still the head of the family, though, Filipino shows respect on his wife by seeking her opinions.

Filipinas are here in Doha to help thier families back home and some others are here together with thier husbands.
