Abstract

The migration of Filipino workers overseas remains a major socio-economic phenomenon, offering financial stability yet creating emotional and academic challenges for left-behind children. This qualitative phenomenological study examined how parental absence affects the academic performance of senior high school students in Los Baños, Laguna, whose parents work abroad. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with purposively selected Grade 12 students meeting specific criteria. Thematic analysis revealed three key themes: thriving amidst loneliness, flourishing academic independence, and repaying sacrifices through excellence. While remittances eased financial burdens, students reported feelings of isolation, lack of parental guidance, and academic pressure driven by the desire to honor their parents’ sacrifices. Strong communication and adaptive coping strategies emerged as vital in mitigating adverse effects. The study underscores the need for school-based support systems and policy interventions addressing the psychosocial well-being and academic needs of left-behind students.

Abstract

Entering marriage is a significant life decision that includes major transitions in one's life. The study investigated the perceptions of marriage among Filipino senior university students majoring in Human and Family Development at a university in the Philippines. It aimed to understand their definition and views of marriage, and the factors that influence their decision to get married. The study employed a two-step descriptive qualitative design, combining initial surveys to identify themes, followed by in-depth interviews for deeper exploration, and purposive sampling to select eight senior students aged 20-22 years old from the University of the Philippines Los Baños in 2019, whose responses were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings revealed that participants define marriage as a lifelong commitment to another person that is legally recognized and strengthened by intimacy. While they viewed marriage as a personal choice, they acknowledged its legal benefits, such as legitimate recognition of their children. Five key factors emerged in their decision to marry: influence of media, family pressure, financial capability, achievement of personal goals, and desire to build their own family. These findings reflect the negotiation between traditional family values and the modern aspirations of the younger generation in the Philippines. The study offers valuable insights for developing culturally-responsive relationship education programs for Filipino students and informing family-oriented policies that address the evolving perspectives of early adults toward marriage.
