He Went to the Philippines to Find a Wife

Tired of American women, sick of dating apps,
he flew 8,000 miles to the Philippines to find a wife.
He had a friend happily married to a sweet and
easy to get along with Filipina for ten years,
which motivated him to find a wife there as well.
In the Philippines he felt like a rock star, pretty
women everywhere saw him as handsome.
He never felt so appreciated by women in American;
he was on top of the world.
He found himself an incredibly beautiful Filipina and
got married to her after a year.
He bought a nice house in a city called Cebu in the
Central Visayas region of the Philippines, had a good life.
For two years he was still in nuptial bliss until
his wife went on a shopping trip alone one day.
And three assailants broke into his house and shot him
dead, one of them his wife’s boyfriend. The plan to
inherent the house and the insurance money. Though
many men have found good wives in the Philippines,
sometimes the dream turns into a nightmare –
some men are scammed, and rarely, some men are murdered.
