What are the common themes in Filipino marriage horror stories?

One common theme is the presence of supernatural entities. Ghosts, demons, and other spirits are frequently featured. Another theme is revenge. Often, a wronged spirit comes back to seek vengeance on those who wronged them in life. For example, in stories where someone was murdered unjustly, their spirit will haunt the murderer.

One common theme is the supernatural. Creatures like the Aswang, which can transform into different forms, are often featured. Another theme is revenge from the dead. For example, a wronged spirit coming back to haunt those who wronged them. And there's also the theme of cursed places, such as old houses or forests with a dark past.

Power struggles within the relationship can be a theme. When one partner tries to dominate the other in all aspects, be it decision - making, finances, or social life, it can lead to a very unhappy and often horror - filled marriage. This can make the other partner feel suffocated and unvalued.

It's not common at all. The vast majority of Filipino nannies are highly professional and loving towards the children they take care of. However, just like in any profession, there might be a few bad apples that get more attention because of the drama they create. But in general, it's unfair to assume that these horror stories are a common occurrence.

No, they are not common. Just like in any culture, most marriages are based on love, respect, and mutual understanding. However, because of the international attention Filipino brides sometimes get, the few negative stories tend to be more publicized.

Financial issues are common. Like in one story, a person got married and found out their partner had hidden debts that became their burden too.

Family is a very common theme. In Filipino life stories, family often plays a central role. Whether it's about a family coming together during festivals like Christmas or a family supporting a member through tough times, family bonds are strong. Another theme is faith. Filipinos are mostly religious, and stories often include how their faith helps them through difficulties.

Family and community are also common themes. In Filipino fantasy stories, characters often act in the interest of their family or village. Magic is of course a big theme as well. It can be used for good or bad, like in 'The Enchanted Fish' where the fish's magic has different implications for the fisherman. And there's the theme of the supernatural, with all kinds of spirits and creatures that inhabit the fantasy world of these stories.

Love is also a big theme. Filipino gay people experience the same joys and pains in love as anyone else. There are stories of long - distance relationships, of falling in love at first sight, and of loving someone through difficult times.

One common theme is family unity. Filipino families often stick together through thick and thin, as seen in stories where family members support each other during difficult times like financial hardships or health issues.
