Asking permission from the daughter's parents is like stating that a guy's intention is honest and sincere.

[mayieogab]

I think "Ligaw" (including asking the parent's permission) culture exists because there's a mindset behind that "you date to marry." Meaning, "The purpose of dating someone is to eventually marry them." It's like, "Why would you date someone if you're not planning to marry them someday?"

Filipinos are also very family-oriented (I think this is one of the major factor); family is the number one priority in their lives. So that's why families need to be involved in this kind of "serious" commitment haha. But seriously, this culture isn't as strict nowadays; you can make ligaw na without asking your gf/bf's parents permission. But you’ll need to introduce yourself to their parents eventually, especially once you’re in a relationship.

It’s just not asking for parents’ permission but to also win the parents favor. If you win the parents trust and love it’s much easier to win the girl’s love and trust.

I like their chemistry, they are both madaldal and bungisngis! more collabs of Juwon and Rio please!

Pinoy ako, pero I sometimes update my girlfriend & now wife with proof, not an obligation or a culture thing, she is doing the same din after I did that, it's a mutual thing so she wont worry too much where i am and who i am hanging out with.

[darkseer]

its not really like a permission but more on introduction to the parents to let them know who you are with. You know you don't want your parents to worry about and worry about who you are with.

[KAZUUUUMOM]

Do you know what crazy?
Courting can even takes few years before you became official if the guy is really sincere he doesn't mind the wait because usually people in here would like to pursue their study first or dream before taking the next step and as the guy who are really sincere he would wait until you are ready
Also meeting the other party parents is to show you can be trusted with their daughter and your serious about the relationship between you two
I think personally it's sweet how determined they are to show they are serious about it
Makes you feel more relief and secure about picking this person.

More please! This duo is amazing and so lowkey entertaining 🫶🏻

[MoodyBabbles]

Filipina here, the photo thing is not really a requirement. But my husband does it because maybe he just wants me to feel assured. Because he does it so I do it too. But it really depends on you both. But it is always appreciated 😊

[crushkita]

I think the "ligaw" part when a guy ask his girlfriend's family for permission is like showing sincerity and respect to them specially if the girl is still living with her parents.. its like saying their child is in a good hands.

8:53 for me as a filipina (who recently was in a relationship with a filipino who migrated and kinda grew up in the US), i dont require my partner to send a selfie, like what juwonee said, just an update because we do it with friends and family too. sometimes its more of who is my partner with, like if i know them or theyre my friends too, makes me feel excited, happy they're hanging out, makes me feel included, not left out kinda way

[florentinojrvelasco]

The "asking parents for permission" is very tradional way that was used by the older generation of filipinos to show sincerity of the guy to the girl he is courting. But in todays generation it is not really a requirement and it is rarely use. But it is a great way to show your sincerty to a girl because it takes guts and effort to even ask permission to her parents.

[daynee]

6:47 It was actually not a duty to send your partner a picture when you hanging out with your friends. It was just Filipinos love taking a picture when getting together then sharing it with you partner is kinda sweet or thoughtful for us. BUT it was not a DUTY or a responsibility to the relationship. Sometimes saying who’s with you is enough.

[fars]

the perks I would say about asking family permission is when you got their approval, expect that filipino family will somehow considers to invite you on any occasions gathering. Something like that.

[DomonKachu]

I didn't expect there to be more episodes of the podcast with Juwonee 😆Yehey. Juwonee is truly 'Pinay na Pinay.' The courtship she describes is the traditional one here in the Philippines. Gen Z or some liberated girls living in Manila usually don't go through the courting stages. They are more open with their feelings and don't want to prolong the 'LIGAW' stages, or they just do the 'LIGAW' through text or messenger..😄😆
The challenging part is asking permission from the parents to court their daughter. In the CALABARZON area, you can only make 'LIGAW' at the girl's house, where you bring her gifts and gifts for her dad (usually wine or roosters for sabong). The trick is to win over her parents to help you win her heart

[jurgen]

The reason why there is LIGAW in the Philippines is to show ur real intention sometimes or most of the time u have to introduce the guy to ur parents and the guy need to meet them to prove that the guy intention is pure thats why sometimes when they have family outing its an extended family outing because they include their bf and gf... For what i know korean use mbti and vlood type for compatibility i just dont get how they base it on it... Coz sometimes opposite attracts 😂😂

[diannehawes]

Rio you're so funny. Poor Rio, if you go to your home country, go up to people, make eye contact, smile and ask "What's your name?" you would freak them out. I can't imagine you avoiding eye contact and not smiling. I think your love language is caring - you make people feel comfortable by showing a sincere, genuine interest in them and truly wanting to hear their story. And in interviews, so many times you "rescue" others from embarrassment or feeling awkward by switching attention to you by being cute or acting silly, and then move on to something else. 💚💚💚💚

6:30 Filipina born in the Philippines but grew up in the US and married a Filipino who is born and raise in the Philippines. Regarding taking pictures of your ganap and location is for the safety of your love one to let them know who they with and where they are Incase of emergency. I learned this from my boyfriend then and husband now.

9:50 Growing up in the States. Dating is more of a to hookup with someone. it can be a fling, something just for fun or something for more serious relationship. Me being a Filipina. I’m not dating to just have a fling and have fun, but to be in a serious relationship and have fun. So I make sure if the guy that wants to date me is also serious about me is to pay respect to my parent and to show them their real intentions to their daughter.

[ellenkaren]

this is the first time i know juwonee, she is very lovely and funny!! thanks rio 💚

“Ligaw” or courtship is a practice that has been in the Philippines for centuries. Courtship is (YES) a permission and a respect to the woman & her family. Asking permission to court the daughter from her parents is a form of respect & also your introduction & proof that YOU have the means & the full package to be in a relationship & to be the husband that the daughter is looking for. Naiba na lang ang tingin sa “Ligaw” because we’re embracing the western idea of dating, we’re becoming liberal.

But I really like the old ways of courtship, where the man have to fill the buckets with water from the well with 20 minutes walk from the girl’s house to the well, chop the woods, and ofcourse serenade.
