41. Family Influences on the Lifestyle of the Filipino Youth
Grace T. Cruz, Elma P. Laguna and Corazon M. Raymundo
...those who view their
parents to be more permissive
are expected to eventually
adopt a more liberal attitude
and thus are more likely to
engage in risk behaviors as
well.
* risky behaviors include smoking, drinking, drug
use, commercial sex and pms.

47. McCann Erickson Youth Studies of
2000 and 2005
...This generation of
Filipino youth looks
primarily to celebrities
as their role models.

48. McCann Erickson Youth Studies of
2000 and 2005
But even more alarming, the
Inter-generation study showed
that there is a severe loosening
of moral values among adult
Filipinos, and this is reflected in
what young people consider right
and wrong.

49. McCann Erickson Youth Studies of
2000 and 2005
As a consequence, about half
of them do not consider as
“wrong” such acts as casual sex,
premarital sex, using a
prostitute, getting drunk,
gambling, hazing, abortion,
homosexual relationships, and
suicide.
