Lorenzo Castaneda



This study is a qualitative research that aims to discover if Filipinos today still value the opinion of their parents whether Filipinos still have close family ties.


            This participants of this study are grade 3 students up to 4th year high-school who are studying in public and private schools only in the location of Quezon city and Cainta, Rizal the researcher used interviews and their observation in order to gather data about the respondents with regards to their time spent with parents, their closeness, description and understanding of the word parental guidance.


            The study was able to find that public school and private school students had same answers and there was no defined difference between the two. The respondents and their answer were divided into two groups, being the ones who were able to spend much time with their parents and those who weren’t able to allot much time with their parents. When asked about the influence of their parents all of them had an answer instantly and when asked if they were close all answered yes but had different definitions.


            The researcher concludes that Filipinos incorporate closeness with the length of time spent with the specific person. It also concludes that Filipino children see themselves as close but have a different definition of closeness furthermore Filipinos appreciate and realize the meaning of parental guidance when they are older. 


The researcher recommends having more respondents and thorough interviews.
