Can I get married in Philippines and raise fatherless children and retire ...?

Stay out of the Mindanao area & you will be OK. The MILF is another muslim group that makes a living by holding foreigners for ransom but they are fairly well contained in the lower regions of the Philippines.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
