Pea fires back at months of escalating online attacks from Western women targeting both passport bros and Filipinas. She plays clip after clip of the most inflammatory accusations — that Filipinas are uneducated, can't speak English, are desperate sex slaves, and that passport bros are pedophiles — then dismantles each one with a mix of sarcasm, factual rebuttals, and clips from other Filipina creators and supportive Western women. This is one of her most pointed response videos.
Background: Pea accidentally helped start an "international war"
- Several months earlier, she made a humorous video poking holes in Western women's objections to passport bros
- The reaction was "swift and brutal" — accusations and insults have been flying back and forth across the Pacific for months
- Other Filipinas joined the fight on social media
- A major Philippine TV network asked Pea for an interview, but she stayed silent until this video
- Her line in the sand: attacking your own men is your right, "but when you go insulting us Filipinas, then your accusations warrant a response"
Accusation #1: Filipinas can't speak English and are uneducated
- Pea plays a clip of a Western woman claiming women in the Philippines, Colombia, and Thailand "can speak very little English"
- Pea's rebuttal: "When was the last time you went to the Philippines? Have you spoken to actual people from the Philippines?"
- Facts: Filipinos are multilingual; English is the second language; the country has 150 dialects; English is taught from nursery through college as a mandatory subject
- She plays a clip of a Filipina creator who graduated cum laude and works as a teacher, who is deeply hurt by the "uneducated" claim: "I am as educated as you are... I am as empowered as you are"
- Another Filipina's counter: "It's not foreign women's fault if American men fall for them instead of you... we are naturally sweet, understanding, caring — it's not because we are submissive"
Accusation #2: Filipinas are desperate, poverty-stricken women who will "do whatever it takes"
- Pea plays clips of Western women claiming passport bros want to "rescue" women from poverty in exchange for sex, and that Filipinas are "at your beck and call"
- One woman claims men go overseas because "it's frowned upon to own a human here" and they want to "legally own a human" in other countries
- Pea's sarcastic response: "I just found out that the Philippines has legalized slavery — I wonder how much I could get if I put on a little makeup"
- She hammers the point that these women are depicting Filipinas as "desperate, submissive, and at a man's beck and call" — and asks if they have any idea how insulting that is
Accusation #3: Passport bros are pedophiles targeting underage girls
- Multiple clips of Western women claiming passport bros are going overseas to "pursue children in developing countries"
- One woman says: "A man will do what he'd do to your 13-year-old if he can get away with it"
- Another calls it "the creepiest, strangest men deciding to leave the country and pursue children"
- Pea's response: "We can't exactly help the fact that we look a lot younger than you think we should"
- She notes that the Philippines takes child protection very seriously — men seen with underage children are immediately reported and investigated
- She's especially disgusted that one commenter seemed unbothered by the idea of men pursuing children as long as they leave America: "The fact that you aren't even bothered if they pursue children says a lot about your priorities"
Accusation #4: Filipinas are targeted because there are no domestic violence laws or protections
- A Western woman claims men pick countries "stereotyped for having very relaxed, if any, rules" around abuse
- Pea's sarcastic reply: "Sure, there are no laws about domestic violence here — our husbands can beat us all they want, and we're so submissive all we can say is 'please sir, I want some more'"
Accusation #5: It's predatory because of the financial power imbalance
- Pea plays a clip from a wealthy Western woman who talks about her own dating struggles, but distinguishes herself from passport bros because she'd go to "luxury spots" to meet men at her "socio-economic status"
- The woman calls passport bros predatory for going to countries "where people are living on less than ten dollars a day"
- Pea's counter-argument, point by point:
- The woman admits that women in her country "don't respect men that aren't doing well" — so what's a non-wealthy man supposed to do?
- If a man isn't dripping money, he's rejected at home — so going to a place where women won't reject him for his wallet makes logical sense
- Pea highlights the hypocrisy: "When you find your level, it's just fine, but when a man does the same thing, it's creepy, predatory, and inappropriate"
- And of course "it somehow involves the dreaded patriarchy"
The anger underneath the arguments
- Pea plays clips showing the raw hostility: "F you then, just go overseas, we don't need you, whatever, bye loser"
- Another: "If you want a woman who barely speaks English and just has to suck your... go for it"
- Pea observes: "You see the anger? Do you see that?"
Western women who actually support passport bros
- Pea plays a clip from a supportive Western woman who asks: "Why are you mad that men are choosing women who are feminine, fit, beautiful, inspiring, kind, cooperative, and have traditional values?"
- This woman points out military men have been marrying women from other countries forever — "this is not a new concept"
- She mentions her own son-in-law is half Filipino (Filipino mom, Black dad)
The "Dede" clip — a Western woman explains the big picture
- Dede argues modern women were taught to get educated, be independent, be "boss chicks" who don't need a man
- But for many, this lifestyle isn't working out — they end up as single mothers, unprepared for "hitting the wall" in their 30s and 40s
- They were never taught how to be in a relationship or how to treat a man
- Her conclusion: "We need to stop trying to shame men into accepting something they just don't want — women have to accept they've been taught wrong"
Pea's own closing arguments
- It's "highly insulting" to depict Filipinas as uneducated, non-English-speaking, desperate money slaves
- Yes, Filipinas see passport bros as an upgrade — "of course we do, but so what? Isn't that the same thing you look for in a man — someone who makes more money than you?"
- When a Western woman rejects a man for not earning enough, nobody asks if that's "all about money" — so why the double standard for Filipinas?
- The men who come to the Philippines aren't choosing underage girls or women from slums who are literally desperate — "they're mostly pairing up with average Filipinas"
- "The beaten-down, miserable woman who sold her soul just to get a meal — that pathetic Filipina you seem to have stuck in your heads — she's the exception, not the rule"
