BUILDING VOCABULARIES
TRADITIONAL PROBLEM
- Filipinos are family-oriented. The anak-magulang
complex and the kamag-anak relationship are very important
to Filipinos. Ama(father), ina(mother), anak(children) are
culturally and emotionally significant to us who treasure
filial attachment not only to our immediate family but also
to our extended family( tiya and tiyuhin , inaanak, lolo and
lola). This family centeredness supplies a basic sense
belonging, stability, and security. It is from our families that
we Filipinos naturally draw our sense of self identity.
Declining marriage rate and increasing rate of
cohabitation
- there were 476,408 marriages registered in
2011, down by 1.3 percent from 482,480 recorded in
2010, the NSO said in a report posted on its
website. It retrieved on August 19, 2014.
Increasing annulment rate
- the number of marriage annulment cases in the
Philippines has risen by 40 percent in the last
decade with at least 22 cases filed everyday,
according to a report by Catholic bishops news
agency. Citing data from the Office of the Solicitor
General (OSG), CBCP news said the number of
annulment cases had risen from 4,520 in 2001 to
8,282 in 2010.
Increasing number of cases of domestic violence
- the 2008 National Demographic and Health Survey
(NDHS) conducted by the National Statistic Office (NSO)
revealed that one in five women aged 15-49 has experienced
physical violence since age 15; 15.4 percent of married
women have experienced physical abuse from their
husbands; and more than one-third (37 percent) of
separated or widowed women have experienced physical
violence, implying that domestic violence could be the
reason for separation or annulment.
Increasing number of woman entering the labor
force
- the number of employed and unemployed
Filipinos in October 2008 was estimated at
34.5 million and 2.5 million respectively.
Female employment was estimated at 13.3
million compared to 21.3 million males.
The United Nations (UN) uses the term nucleus family:
- A family nucleus is of one of the following types:
a.) A married couple without children
b.) A married couple with one or more unmarried children
c.) A father with one or more unmarried children or
d.) A mother with one or more unmarried children.
Why the definition of family matters:
In social science discourse, the concept of
the family is politically and ideologically
loaded, or imbued with sets of politically and
culturally contested ideas about the correct
or moral ways in which people should
conduct their lives.
