couples that were chosen through purposive convenient sampling. This study determined the profile of the
respondents in terms of sex, age, nationality, nationality of partner, place of residency and length of
relationship. A descriptive method of research was utilized and survey-questionnaire was its main tool.
Questionnaires were distributed to the respondents and were retrieved to be tallied, tabulated, interpreted
and analyzed. The statistical treatments used in the study were frequency and percentage, weighted mean
and chi-square. Results showed that most of the respondents are female, 27 – 30 years old and are
Filipinos with American, Schweiz, New Zealander, Japanese, Thai, British, German and Italian partners.
