    First and foremost after 1.5 Years it's time to put a ring on her finger and propose.

    Second it that family is very important. Get to know them well.

    She is jealous because she is a bit insecure and frankly most Filippino males are playboys.

    Most Filippinas are religious and supersticious.

    She is most likely Catholic and attending mass. Are you going with her on Sunday ?

    A meal without rice is just a snack :).

    Just do the things that will make her happy.

    Write a letter if you can (a love letter specifically) we Filipina love when we receive a love letter from someone even though it's so outdated, we still like that.

    And know her parents, relatives and friends, get some "pogi" points so she can more like you.

    And most of all ask her hands for marriage to her parents.

    I agree with lolit, you just have to be yourself, and treat her like any girl of any country, coz filipinas are all the same as girls in your country, just the country and culture might be a little bit different..

    Show her and let her know that you love and respect her, and you would never cheat on her.

    Arrange to take her to places, Singapore Disneyland hongkong to USA boracay or wherever..take her on a date...if you have facebook contact her when you get online, make up photos or statuses and let her know you love her...by her a cell phone :)

    When you meet her parents, be respectful towards them, bless them, instead of hand shake unless they offer to shake your hand.. I'm half filipino and it feels different or strange at start but its a sign of respect,and they like it when a westerner do that.. I do it to all my filipino friends parents when I go to their home..and my gf's too..

    be her friend her sould mate and her boyfriend as one..dont try to be someone your not, just be you..

    and most of all treat her the way you would want your daughter to be treated by her boyfriend...you dont need to get married straight away, you just need to love and understand each other, just ignore the jealousy just tell her you love her..if it still drives you insane, talk to her, and try to understand her point of view, show that your an understanding guy.

    PS. its filipina not philipina ;)

    Your island princess is jealous because after 1.5 yrs you still "date" while she may have been ready to be LOVED long time ago, may be the first day or week already. hence she may think that you have a bunch of other girls around that's why you never love her like a Filipina loves to be loved - ALL the way!

    just be yourself . thoughtfulness counts a lot . say i love you to her as much as you could . cultural means respect her parents you can kiss the hands that is what you call the mano po . be nice to the family and relatives , those are important things to be remembered when you want to please them .
