Last weekend my wife and I met a Filipino who had lived in Taiwan for many years. She was married to an American foreigner and got an APRC from her former marriage. Sadly she was cheated on by her former husband and subsequently filed for a divorce. We had a great conversation and the conversation…

[image] comfy123: It’s not @anon24369109 who’s the bullshit artist—it’s every foreigner who’s too spineless to make the same commitment and then tries to tear down someone who did. FYI @Explant I’m not saying any of this is you. I’m talking about the people that smeared his name repeatedly L…
