"What I want from him is to be taller and to love his mom," said a Filipino English teacher.

「恋愛はしたいけど、結婚はしたくない」。そう話すのは22歳のフィリピン人英語講師の女性。私は毎朝オンライン英会話を習っています。英語を習う目的は、英語でインタビューできるようにしたいから。そんなわけで今語学学校の先生たちにインタビューの練習を兼ねて話を聞いています。今回はその中の一人に聞いてみました。多くのフィリピン人が家族をとても大切にしていて、一定数の若者が「早く自分自身の家族を持ちたい」といいます。そんななか彼女はちょっと違うようで「結婚はしたくない」といいます。そのワケは？

I chose her, a 22-year-old English teacher, as the third person to interview. She is interested in news from various countries and seems to be watching NHK programs in Japan. She chose "Love" from several themes. I chose "love", but it seemed negative about love and marriage. What's wrong?

"I have a crush on someone."

She is currently 22 years old. When asked, "Do you have a boyfriend right now?" The answer to "Who do you like?" Is "Hmm. Well, some people think it's good." I guess the person she cares about is Filipino.

"He's a Chinese-Singaporean. I got acquainted with an app I'm working with with a friend, and he came to Cebu just one day last year. His first impression wasn't good, but as he interacted with him, I thought he was a good guy. ''

"Have a crush on someone"(you, him, her)=好きな人がいる（スラング）、Chinese-Singaporean＝中国系シンガポール人、acquainte＝知り合う、interacte＝やり取りする

Currently he is 25 years old. He goes to college in Singapore. It is very important for a Chinese Singaporean to be able to make money, so he is constantly studying for future jobs.

"Chinese Singaporeans are hard work during the day and hard work when they're done. We Filipinos work hard during the day and party when the work is over! It's totally different! He's always busy."

In Japan, some people continue to study for self-growth after the company's work, while others go to drink with par after work. I think he's a very talented businessman who can make a lot of money and is a good person.

I asked her if she wanted to associate with him.

Currently＝現在、constantly＝いつも、during the day＝日中、It's totally different!＝全然違う、self-growth＝自己成長、 talente＝才能がある、associate＝付き合う

What does she think about dating a Singaporean?

"I think he's a good guy, but it's hard to get along, especially since Singapore and the Philippines are so far apart."

So the next time she goes out she's Filipino?

"The Filipino men are cheating. The Filipino men go to the girls here and there. I hate that."

Whether all Filipino men have cheating or not, Filipino men may be passionate about love. And the Filipino man is a romanticist. So they immediately like various women! As a result, I speculate that Filipino men will flirt.

So what do she think about men from other countries?

"Um, If I go out, I'd like Asians. Americans are bigger and scared because of their different cultures. Asians are basically the same and respect their parents."

especially＝とくに、so far＝ここまで、far apart＝遠く離れて、cheat＝騙す（浮気をする）、passionate＝情熱的な、immediately＝すぐに、As a result＝その結果、speculate＝推測する、That's right＝その通り、 go out＝付き合う、 scared＝怯えた、basically＝基本的に

Japanese men? Men from Taiwan or Malaysia?

What is the image of Japanese men as seen from Philippine women? I asked her what she thought about Japanese men.

"I think Japanese men are cute. They look like anime characters. They are very shy. Well, I don't think they look so cool."

Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to see Japanese men as lovers.

seen from＝～みて、look like＝～のよう、Unfortunately＝残念ながら

By the way, I think cool Japanese men will go to the cutting edge of business, such as Silicon Valley and Dubai. The men who go to the Philippines are retired elderly people or there are many people who want to relax. This is my selfish image! I'm sorry.

Taiwanese or Malaysians?

"I think Taiwanese people are very gentle. But they're basically Chinese, where money is the most important. I've never seen a Malaysian."

Her judgment is very severe!

By the way＝ところで、on the cutting edge of＝～の最先端にいる、Dubai＝ドバイ、my selfish image＝私の勝手なイメージ、severe＝厳しい

"I want to love you." What do you think about marriage?

By the way, what do you think about marriage?

"I don't want to get married. I don't want to at all! It's hard to keep him and my love forever after getting married, right?"
The Philippines is less likely to divorce, and even more divorced if there is a child between us. right? So I don't want to get married. ''

Maybe here is similar to girls in their 20s in Japan. However, many women in their twenties want to marry and become housewife, so I can't just say they are together. She is an excellent teacher at a language school, and I think she will be able to make enough money on her own, even if she is going to work. So she may not need marriage.

It's hard to～：～するのは難しい、likely to＝しそうだ、even more＝またさらに、right?＝～だよね？、similar to＝～のように、20s＝20代、housewife＝専業主婦、excellent＝優秀な、even if ＝～でさえも

I have been interviewing women in their twenties and thirties in various ways about marriage through coverage of the web media "telling,". However,
I think the concept of marriage differs by age more than by country.

In the Philippines, it is generally said that family love is very strong. Actually, I look at various Filipino homes and feel that "I am strong in family love! I am strong in unity!"

concept＝コンセプト・考え方、generally＝一般的に、Actually＝実際に、unity＝結束

There are two requirements for men. Being tall and loving his mom!

One thing I thought was different was my favorite type of man. She has two requirements for men, one being tall. Second, he loves mom. In Japan, if he says "I love my mom!", She might be called "※Mazakon", but she is different.

※Mazakon means a man from the mother complex. He consults his mother with anything and acts as his mother suggests. He gives her mother priority over her dating in all.

"If he loves mom, he will respect every woman. I think it's very important. If anyone can care and respect her, they can respect each other. I think his relationship will continue. ''

She is currently 22 years old. Will her view of marriage change or not change in the future? Who do she associate with? I'm looking forward to it. If she has a boyfriend, let her know!

requirement＝必要とするもの、consult＝相談する、priority＝優先する、 let her know＝彼女に教えてもらおう
