  2. Hi. Paano naman po yung sa pinoy na may asawang Korean national dito? Lahat naman po kasi ng nababasa ko dito about lang sa mga pinay na may napag asawang korean at may training pa sa mga pinay para madali makapag hanap ng trabaho. Meron din po ba ganun sa mga lalakeng pinoy na may asawang korean? Thanks po.

    1. Hi John! Tanong ka sa “dong samuso” ninyo. Kasi mas marami naman Pinay ang may asawang Korean kesa sa mga Pinoy na may asawang Korean di ba?
