I just started reading this post and it is sad to say the least. I am married to a filipina and I looked into trying to fly there in the beginning. Keep fighting the good fight, DO NOT GIVE UP! If you can leave, get out and leave them hanging. Last time I checked, their fares weren't that low. As a matter of fact, if I had to pay retail, NWA and Cathay beat them on most international routes. They are making money, and can certainly raise your pay.
Just letting you know that you have support from some of us overseas!
