It sounds like you speak from personal experience. But for me having worked with both at my jobs in china I can honestly say that at least on the surface they are about the same, with chinese women being no better. Both are greedy, narrow minded, susceptible to authority, and can't be considerate enough for others. Although to be fair I have not actually worked in the Philippines so I do not know if the local women there are more friendly, as by some accounts I was told they are less greedy and materialistic.

Other than that, nothing wrong with making extra income via rent. If you for example owned a whole apartment complex in Soho around downtown Manhattan you wouldn't need to work at all.
