I joined Christian Filipina hoping for a premium, faith-based experience — but unfortunately, it felt like a typical dating site wrapped in a more expensive package. The process starts with a welcome call, followed by a conversation with a “Love Specialist,” and then you’re handed off to “Romance Consultants.” At first, it felt personal and professional. The team members were kind and respectful — no issue there. But once I had to schedule an “appointment,” I could tell the next step was a high-ticket sales pitch. I was offered three packages: Dream Filipina VIP, Deluxe, and Standard — ranging from $1,490 to nearly $3,000. Only after I paid $1,500 did I learn that there were much cheaper options available (like a $247 3-month Gold plan), which wasn’t transparently offered up front. The website feels very outdated and difficult to navigate. Scammers are a real issue — and while the team advises you not to talk to anyone newer than 30 days, that’s not exactly reassuring. I had multiple conversations disappear, only to be told the user was a scammer. I believe more should be done to vet users before they’re allowed on the platform. The app has also had serious issues — especially with the video call feature. Most ladies I talked to couldn’t use it and asked to move to Facebook instead, which defeats the purpose of staying “safe” on-platform. One frustrating feature was the “second opinion” system. It’s promoted as a benefit, but it relies entirely on the lady picking up the phone — if she doesn’t, you’re out of luck. What’s more troubling is the push for reviews within the first few days — long before a member would have a full picture of the experience. That, along with what I later found out about leadership legal issues, made me question the brand’s integrity. In fairness, I did meet someone I’m going to marry — and I’m thankful for that. But I can’t help but feel I could have done the same on a lower-cost platform like AsianDating for $47. Paying top-dollar didn’t improve the results — just the packaging. If you do sign up, push hard for the Gold Membership (it’s available whether they tell you or not). Avoid the high-ticket “Dream Filipina” package — the value simply doesn’t match the cost.
