If the guy had waited long enough and had gone through different tests just to win the woman’s heart, it will teach him to value the woman and not to give up on her easily. In courtship, hard work and patience are important in order to achieve a long lasting relationship. things that are completely forbidden in the context of traditional courtship. You could even see couples having their first dates holding hands and PDAs (Public Display of Affection). A few talking and flirting on the phone will give you an instant boyfriend/girlfriend. Now, you can just easily approach a lady walking on the street and ask for her phone number. This is because in the first place, the foundation of the relationship is not strong. No wonder relationships these days don’t stay long compared before. Today, although a lot of traditional courting practices are still being observed, there are modifications and “evolutions” that have been made that give the traditional Filipino courtship a modern version. “Harana” or serenade, sending love letters and “paninilbihan” or servitude are just some of the traditions being practiced by traditional Filipinos. If a man sees a woman she likes, he should seek the help of a mediator or “tulay” in Tagalog, to ask the permission of the girl’s father if he can visit her in their house. Traditionally, a man cannot just approach a lady and ask for her name or address.

This practice which dated back to the Spanish time strictly abides to conservative norms set by the society for pursuing a woman. In Philippine custom and tradition, courtship is more subdued, discrete and indirect compared to Western Cultures. It is the time where a man has to work hard to get his girl fall for him and the time where the girl feels secure knowing that the guy went to great lengths to win her heart. This is the time where couples get the chance to look for a potential partner. Courtship is one of the most exciting, romantic and special time for women.
