Mildly interesting article in *The Korea Times* about troubled marriages between Korean men and Filipina women. Basically, it appears that Korean men tend to abuse the wives. [Link](http://search.hankooki.com/times/times%5Fview.php?terms=Korean+wives+code%3A+kt&path=hankooki3%2Ftimes%2Flpage%2Fspecial%2F200507%2Fkt2005070320064567650.htm&kw=Korean%20wives&ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Here's the really interesting excerpt:

> "Filipinas come here expecting their lives with their Korean husbands to be easy, but they encounter difficulties”¦ In Philippine culture, women are treated differently. Women are put on a pedestal, and they are meant to be respected as ladies and mothers. In Korea, the women's job is to take care of the husband, the house and the children,” he said.

The Philippines is a very Catholic country. Women are "put on a pedestal" there. By the Church that oppresses them? Something doesn't add up.
