Forced To Come To AMERICA- Part 1 

In part 1, Cristy shares her tragic story and her disastrous experience through her former American husband. In part 2 of this series, Cristy shares her new life in the Philippines with her current loving husband Roy, with whom she has been married for 27 years.

Fascinating woman ! My grandmother was Catholic and divorced her 1st husband in Hungary. She then remarried. Her 2nd husband and she escaped Hungary and immigrated to Argentina. Her husband knew the Pope and asked for a papal dispensation to get married in the church. The Vatican finally agreed 30 years later. My grandmother finally got her wish to be married in the Catholic church in Rochester NY👍

a great example of the grass not always being greener on the other side of the fence.

What a hard life working abroad. And, what horrible relationships with western men. She's a strong woman to endure all of that. Bless her heart.

This was a beautiful story, I pray to have a wife like her in the Philippines 🇵🇭 or elsewhere 🙏

Wow, Shay very interesting interview! A very challenging story of her life experience and has come out on the other end. Looking forward to part two of this story.

Great interview Shay. Filipinas working abroad need to beware of low life men. What seems like a good deal often winds up being a lifelong nightmare. She’s a strong woman! Looking forward to part 2!

Sad but beautiful story. Good job Shay!

Great interview and a really great love story, thank you.

She is a very hard working and admirable woman. I definitely respect her for saying that coming to America was not her dream. Moving to another country is not everyone’s dream and that is okay. But for a man to expect his wife or ex-wife back to pay back the cost of bringing her to his country is deplorable. It’s unfortunate she got involved with a bad man. Thank you for sharing this story so other women will know what can happen.

Hi Shay! I hope you have a great day today, and stay safe!

Hi Ladies, For me if I was in the Philippines now I would never leave, I'm an American and been her all of my 65 years. Not because of displeasure in the country but I have so many memories, good and bad, but I feel my heart want's to be in the Philippines for my own personal reasons.

Im an American combat veteran of Iraq. Im 27, from Galveston Texas, i work for UPS in Houston, but im transferring to the Phillipines. Any debts to America i owed, i have paid, and then some. Im tired of being unhappy in a country with no culture or traditions....im coming there to find balance in my life....i love to surf, i grew up surfing with my 4 brothers on Galveston Island. 1 of my brothers lives in Luzon area permanently. Im following my heart and mind. Peace Shay

interesting Part 1 vlog Shay

What a terrible man to enslave her that way, and Montana is vast open land of nothing but cold weather. I'll bet she felt like a pioneer.

I've seen men working those king crab boats, is extremely hard work for them, I cant even imagine how hard it was for a women. Good for her just a shame she was living with a loser.

I have read many disturbing articles about nurses in the Philippines signing contracts to work in America. Some sign contracts that state if they quit the company They (nurses) Owe money to the company they work for. Bad Business practice. Nothing but corporate Greed. Please tell All Filipina & Filipino people to Band together and get lawyers BEFORE they sign such contracts. If you think you Need this jobs it would be hard for you to get out of these contracts because these companies have lawyers behind them. Forewarned is forearmed. God Bless You and Yours Shay.

So sad to hear stories like that. Being a Slave and have most of your money taken away from you.

I'm just now half through watching this video. I could make some Americans mad with this but if they look around and pay more attention they will see. So, any negative comments to me and this comment from other Americans or other westerners might prove me right. I'm sorry your guest had to go through what she went through with America and some of the American men. I am proud to be an American but not proud of how our society has become. It is hard in America. For me, American society is completely different than the Philippines society. I have major back problems that our healthcare system won't help with like it used to. I can't work either and the weight and judgement from our society is heavy. Too heavy. Judgement. Too judgmental. No attempt from others to understand. Shay, your videos about The Philippines, especially Filipinas, becoming more 'westernized' is something I hope never happens to your country, its people and especially Filipinas. l ask that you continue to remember your history and your culture, as you do, and spread that to other Filipinos. Fight with everything you have as a country and as a people to not become westernized. Filipinos are so happy, friendly, helpful, caring, respectful and loving. I pray The Philippines culture stays that way and not let the west influence your culture to be more like us. I'm not saying all westerners or all Americans are bad but there is enough to make a big difference. Again, I'm sorry your guest had to go through what she went through concerning a couple of American men and America from her experiences. Some Americans get the same treatment here in our own country too. Keep up the good work. It's obvious you are smart, intelligent and work hard to make your content. You said you want to be in the film industry. You have the talent to succeed. Try your best to do that from The Philippines. You have the talent. You will bring more pride to and for your country. I wish you all the best. May peace be with you always. You might recall my name or you might not. My name is Phillip.

Interesting interview, a bit different with the reverse age gap. Sad to watch, she was sort of a slave...some folks from Montana are a bit 'eccentric' in their views. Not all women who come to U.S. would have this experience.
