CHAPTER I
“ACCEPTABILITY OF SAME-SEX MARRIAGE FOR THE STUDENTS
OF ARELLANO UNIVERSITY PLARIDEL CAMPUS”
Introduction
Everybody has their own way of getting married,
especially when it comes to same-sex marriage. Similar sex
marriage is always a big and sensitive issue not only in
countries that are chronologically Christian, but also to
the world. People have their own opinion regarding the
legalization of same-sex marriage in their respective
countries, and there have been numerous debates on the
above-mentioned issues. Also, part of social reform is the
acceptance of a lesser known marriage. Previously, it was
clear that marriage was only between men and women. But
over time, the concept of same-sex marriage or the marriage
of two homosexuals gradually emerges. Part of the human
right of an individual is the freedom to live the way they
want, along with the people of vital parts of his life.
For some homosexuals, their human rights are the major
part of recognizing their right to marriage or entering
into a law-abiding relationship.
Page | 1
For those who disagree with it, same-sex marriage is
reversing the law of nature or nature and does not
correspond to the usual form of a family.
Also disagreeing with this, this revocation can lead
to family degradation as a basic and major social
institution.
Statement of the Problem
Everybody has the right to choose who they are going
to love whether with their opposite or same gender. We all
have the right to marry the one that our heart beats for as
long as we don’t step on other people. But until now, Same
Sex Marriage isn’t acceptable in this country.
Objective
To know if same sex marriage is acceptable in some
students of Arellano University Plaridel Campus, and also
to know their perspective or opinion about the topic.
Major Question
 How open is the student’s mind on issues facing a
homosexual like same-sex marriages?
Page | 2
Sub-questions
 Is the legalization of same-sex marriage right to the
eyes of the students of Arellano University Plaridel
Campus?
 What will be the benefits of same-sex marriage if it
were to happen here in the Philippines?
 If you were a relative or friend of a LGBT who wants
to marry someone with the same gender, will you
respect their decision?
Theoretical Framework
According to Maricar Bautista (2015) she concluded in
her study “Same-Sex Marriage Thesis” that she finds same-
sex marriage beneficial to the citizens of same-sex
relationship, however granting the virtue of marriage is
not yet a good idea in the current setting as it will not
only revolve around the changes of law of marriage.
But also, to the capacity of one’s state to be held
responsible enough to immediate impacts and effect of it in
the economy other relative laws concerning their rights and
obligation.
Page | 3
It may have untied multi-faith states in the past few
years, and it may have created freedom towards religion in
some, however the capacity of a state must still be taken
into consideration to the possibility of changes in law in
the near future.
The researcher of the study states the positive and
negative effects of the same-sex marriage into our country
if it was approved here in the Philippines, the study also
wants to know the impact of the legalization of the same
sex marriage to the Philippines. The relationship of this
research to ours is that we both want to know the effects
of same-sex marriage if it really happens and what will
other people think about this issue? And that is what we
want to know. Our hypothesis is after we conduct a survey
or interview majority of the respondents will answer
positively about the same-sex marriage.
Maricar Bautista was born on June 10, 1994 and studied
at Polytechnic University of the Philippines Bachelor of
Science in Political Economy. She is a Class president in
Sophomore year (2011); junior council officer, college of
economics, finance and politics student council (2011).

Conceptual Framework
This contains the input, process and the output of the
researcher’s study, where the input includes the problem of
the study and the importance of it. It will convince the
readers to take this as advantage.
The researchers conducted a research about same-sex
marriage and what does other students of Arellano
University Plaridel Campus thoughts about it. So that the
researchers find some respondents, give the respondents a
survey paper to answer, and look for references to input.
To make our research. The researchers makes the title
first and propose it, then make some research questions
about the acceptability of same-sex marriage and find
respondents to be interviewed to know their thoughts and
also to answer the questions the researchers created, after
it is the researchers collect all the data they find and
discovered in books, internet, and also in the survey to
make a meaningful interpretation or conclusion and to
present our research entitled “Acceptability of Same-Sex
Marriage for the Students of Arellano University Plaridel
Campus”

Scope and Delimitations
The scope of this research covers only the acceptance
of same-sex marriage to the students of Arellano University
Plaridel Campus. This study would also discuss the right of
every gay or lesbian to marry someone with the same gender.
This study also wants to know how other people react about
this topic and also to know their perspective about it.
The researchers would choose 15 students of Arellano
University Plaridel Campus at the age of 17 to 21 years old
to answer the survey that the researchers will be going to
conduct regarding the issue of same-sex marriage
Significance of the Study
The significance of this research is to make other
people especially the LGBT more comfortable in their
community and to make same-sex marriage accepted not just
here inside of Arellano University Plaridel Campus but also
on outside of the school. The following are the
beneficiaries of this research:
Page | 7
People who always reviling homosexuals: To make them
more careful in the words they saying about homosexuals, to
make them realize that loving has no rules as long as
you’re not stepping on someone’s feet, and to help some of
them accept LGBT community with respect
Students of early age: To make them understand
homosexuals at the young age, for them to treat homosexuals
as normal persons, and to make them accept them as friends.
Parents: So that they can accept their child if their
child was a homosexual, to make them believe that letting
their son or daughter marry someone with the same gender is
not bad, and to make them love their child no matter what.
Priests: So that they’ll be able to understand that
homosexuals have the right to marry someone they love, for
them to believe that marriage is not just for men and women
or women and men, and to make them understand the feelings
of homosexual persons.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter entails discussions of facts, principles
and theories that would support this study. It encompasses
related studies and theories that would further explain the
effects of procrastination to senior high school students
of Arellano University Plaridel Campus in Mandaluyong City.
It was arranged in a thematic sequence to provide the
readers a cohesive and synthesized insight of the study.
Local Literature
Local Literature
According to a “Philippine Star news 2015” by Eric
Elie the article that the Catholic Bishop Conference of the
Philippines have talked about is that the law requires that
it’ll be implemented in the country although President
Aquino supports equal treatment of all, and he stated that
it is better to just leave Congress if there’s a
possibility to have similar sex marriage in the
Philippines.
Page | 10
In a 5 vote, 4 counts have been affirmed by the US
supreme court the legality of same-sex marriage in that
country. Although the Church supports the proposed "Anti-
Discrimination Law" in favor of the LGBT, it is fearful
that it can be a way to ridicule homosexual marriage. Also,
CBCP has argued that try will not be tired of studying the
concept of gay marriage and should not contradict what the
Catholic Church teaches.
“According to a news report of GMA News” by GMA News
Staff, one Friday the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision
that will recognize the legal right of same-sex
couples/individuals to marry each other. The US Supreme
Court declares that same-sex marriage is legal in all 50
states of America. Equitable rights and protection has been
implemented in order for them to be more comfortable and
safe to other people. Barack Obama states that "When all
Americans are treated as equal, we are all freer," Obama
said. Although the Philippines is one of the gay-friendly
country they’re still somewhat unsure of what will happen
because of the decision of the CBCP. The CBCP added that it
does not matter whether the Filipinos are ready or not to
accept the same-sex union.

“Discrimination against LGBT Students in the
Philippines” by Jamie E. are getting worse. Schools should
be a safe place for everyone. But in the Philippines
students who are LGBT individuals are more prone to
experience bullying, discrimination, lack of access and in
some cases physical or sexual assault. These abuses can
cause deep and curtail students’ right to education,
protected under Philippine and international law (2012).
Although the government have implemented many rules
protection and design interventions to address it. Like the
Child Protection policy which is designed to address
bullying and discrimination in schools, including on the
basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. The
following year, Congress approved the Anti-Bullying Law of
2013, with implementing rules and regulations that
enumerate sexual orientation and gender identity as
prohibited.

“Filipino psychologists organize first LGBT
professional group in SEAsia” by OutrageMag.Com Staff,
launched new studies. LGBT psychologists from the
Psychological Association of the Philippines (PAP) have
organized to add a collective psychological voice in the
advocacy for LGBT empowerment.
Psychologist and counsellors from various Universities
all over the Philippines have organized the first
collective of mental health professionals dedicated to LBGT
rights and well-being in the Philippines and in the
Southeast Asia region.
PAP president Dr. Regina Hechanova lauded the
initiative as path-breaking not just for Philippine
psychology but for the region.
“As Filipino psychologists I have never thought of us
as ‘pro-gay’. We are simply pro-person. And pro-human
rights,” Hechanova said. For the LGBT issue of the journal,
topics ranged from dynamics of Filipino same-sex couples,
coming out stories of Waray gay teenagers, and babaeng
bakla (“fag hag” women), to sexual prejudice and
transphobia in the Philippines, and gay children in
conflict with the law.

“Same-sex couples bound to remain ‘single’ in the
Philippines?” by CNN Philippines staff, The CNN
Philippines had an interview with renowned singer/actor
Aiza Seguerra has been in a committed relationship with her
girlfriend Liza Dino for over two years. The main issue
here is that even though the two of them Aiza and Liza are
officially married in the states it is not considered here
in the Philippines therefore they’re not recognized by the
government as a married couple because same-sex marriage is
not implemented here in the Philippines. “Masakit (it
hurts) because you believe in your heart that you’re
married,” Aiza shared, when she appeared as guest for Legal
Help Desk (LegalHD) on CNN Philippines. Same – sex couples
do not have the same privilege or rights on their
heterosexual counterparts.
For Aiza Seguerra, this is primarily an issue of equal
treatment. Her final remarks in LegalHD were, “we are just
asking for equality here. Hindi sa Church, kung ‘di sa
Pilipinas...sa bansa” (Not in the Church, but in the
Philippines...in the country). We’re talking about laws na
sana matignan kaming mga LGBT as equals (We’re talking
about laws that hopefully will view us, LGBTs, as equals)”.

Foreign Literature
“In Support of Same-Sex Marriage” by Campion Ernie:
Fourteen years ago, Massachusetts became the first state in
the country to give same-sex marriages full legal
recognition. Today, same-sex marriage is legal, through
legislative or judicial action or by popular vote, in more
than 35 states and the District of Columbia. It is
recognized by the federal government. And polls
consistently show that is supported by a clear majority of
Americans. However, in Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, and
Tennessee, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled in
favor of laws and constitutional amendments that define
marriage as a union between a man and a woman only, denying
recognition of same-sex marriage.
In this country and in many parts of the world, things
have been changing. We are seeing greater respect and
acceptance of people regardless of their sexuality.
However, we have also seen efforts to avoid acceptance.
Just a few weeks ago, the governor of Indiana proudly
signed legislation making it possible for people to
discriminate against homosexuals if the discrimination was
said to be supported by religious beliefs. Fortunately,
Page | 15
public outrage persuaded the governor and the legislature
to backpedal, claiming it was all a misunderstanding. They
have now amended the law to provide explicit protection for
sexual orientation.
“LGBT in Latin America” by Tegel Simon : Various Latin
American countries allow same sex couples to adopt. Bolivia
allows transgender individuals to change the gender on
official documents, and more than a dozen nations have
outlawed workplace discrimination based on gender or sexual
identity.
The incident highlights a growing paradox in Latin
America, a region which has some of the highest levels of
acceptance of LGBT rights in the world but also some of the
highest rates of homophobic and trans phobic violence. A
report has been made after an LGBT individual has been
stabbed multiple times with a broken bottle for no other
reason, she says, then being a transgender woman. And many
more reports regarding violence LBTS’s. Even though 82
percent of people in the America, including Latin America,
believe LGBT individuals should have the same rights as
non-LGBT folks and yet violence still persist. Yet the U.S.
News survey also reflects a complex changing reality in the
Page | 16
region for gay rights. Countries with same sex marriage now
include Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Colombia, while it
is also permitted in several Mexican states and Mexico
City.
“Alabama legalizes discrimination against same-sex
couples looking to adopt” by Shugerman New York: Advocates
say the law promotes religious freedom. Private adoption
agencies in Alabama are now legally permitted to
discriminate against same-sex parents.
A new law signed by Governor Kay Ivey allows private
adoption agencies to refuse to place children in homes with
LGBTQ parents. Advocates say the law protects the religious
liberty of faith-based agencies. "I ultimately signed House
Bill 24 because it ensures hundreds of children can
continue to find 'forever homes' through religiously-
affiliated adoption agencies," Ms. Ivey said. “This bill is
not about discrimination, but instead protects the ability
of religious agencies to place vulnerable children in a
permanent home.” The Alabama law does not protect state or
federally-funded agencies to discriminate against LGBTQ
families.

“Same-sex marriage giants 1st recognition in Asia” by
Donovan Franz: Despite the spread of same-sex marriage in a
few regions since 2001, gay and lesbian couples had been
allowed to marry in only 22 of the world's nearly 200
countries. In Asia, Taiwan is the first government to
legalize such unions, while South Africa is the only
country in Africa to allow them. More than 70 countries
continue to criminalize homosexual activity.
Globally, the pace of civil rights victories has
slowed against the background of a steady stream of reports
of anti-gay violence and persecution. Recent weeks have
witnessed large-scale detentions of gay men in Nigeria and
Bangladesh, and accounts of roundups and torture of scores
of gays in Chechnya.
In Indonesia, a major police raid on a gay sauna was
followed two days later by the public caning of two gay
men.

“Germany Must Now Legally Recognize Third Gender from
Birth” Trimble Megan: Previously, parents could register
German intersex newborns as male, female or leave the box
blank. This new ruling now requires lawmakers to pass a new
regulation by the end of 2018 that’ll provide a somewhat
“positive gender entry” aside from male or female on birth
certificates now they have a new category that can be
filled called “inter” or “various”.
Even though some countries like Australia, New
Zealand, Nepal and India, already officially recognize
those who identify as intersex. While the U.S. does not
widely accept a third identification marker, California
however recently became the first U.S. state to legally
recognize a third gender on official state documents, such
as birth certificates. However not all authorities have
sided with legal recognition.
In May, France's top court ruled against a "neutral
sex" gender. The New York Times reported that the decision
said an official third gender would have "deep
repercussions" on French law and require "numerous
legislative changes."
Page | 19
By doing this a multitude of changes has to be made in
judicial proceedings like such and other normal laws that
have to be changed for the general public.
Local Studies
“PH ranks among most gay-friendly in the world” by
Tubeza Price: The Philippines is one of the most gay-
friendly countries out there despite being the most
religious countries in the world and almost a third of its
population lives below the poverty line, using the
religiosity scale where a score of “3” was the most
religious, the Philippines almost got 2.5.
The Philippine bucked the trend found in the survey
showing that gays are mostly accepted in secularized
countries. “In contrast, in poorer countries with high
levels of religiosity, few believe homosexuality should be
accepted by society,” despite this more and more people are
supporting same-sex marriage. Age is also a factor in
several countries, with younger respondents offering far
more tolerant views than older ones.
And while gender differences are not prevalent, in
those countries where they are, women are consistently more
accepting of homosexuality than men.
Page | 20
Interviewers in the Philippines received positive
answers to questions regarding same-sex marriage. The
report also showed that of the eight countries surveyed in
the Asia-Pacific region, the Philippines had the second
highest acceptance rate next to Australia’s 79 percent. In
the Asia-Pacific region, where views of homosexuality are
mostly negative, more than seven in 10 in Australia and the
Philippines say homosexuality should be accepted by
society.
In contrast, only three percent of people in
neighboring Indonesia, nine percent in Malaysia and 21
percent in China said homosexuality should be accepted.
“7 in 10 Filipinos oppose same-sex marriage” by
Fonbuena Carrey: According to a poll conducted in May of
2015, 7 in 10 Filipinos disagree with same-sex marriage.
Up to 70% of survey respondents said that they
strongly disagree with the same-sex marriage being allowed
in the predominantly Catholic country, a small 4% said they
strongly agree.
Page | 21
The rest of the respondents 14% somewhat disagree and
12% somewhat disagree with a possible reform in the
country’s marriage laws (the numbers were rounded off). The
sentiment against same-sex marriage is “strong”.
It’s a blow to the campaign of the country’s advocates
of same-sex marriage who recently held rallies to celebrate
last week’s ruling of the U.S. Supreme Court allowing same-
sex marriage in all 50 states. In the Philippines, netizens
have shown support for same-sex marriage by adopting a
Facebook gimmick to add to their profile photos the rainbow
colors that have symbolized the fight for marriage equality
in America.
“Is the Philippines ready for same-sex marriage?” by
Teves Derek: Australia conducted a two-month survey and the
results revealed that 62% of the 12.7 million people who
voted to legalize gay marriage and said “Yes” while only
38.4% said “no” thus Australia voted “Yes” on same—sex
marriage. This means that same-sex couples in Australia
could be able to marry by Christmas of 2017. However, their
parliament must adopt legislation first to enact the result
of the votes as law.
Page | 22
This got us wondering. The Philippines is ranked among
the top 10 most gay-friendly countries in the world. Even
though the majority of the people in the Philippines agreed
that same-sex marriage should be legal in the Philippines,
the Philippines is still of those countries that don’t
legalize gay marriage unlike the USA, Canada, Norway,
Spain, South Africa, and now recently Australia. The
President thinks that Western culture of same sex marriage
is blurring the lines between what is acceptable. The
President claims that Western ideals should not be imposed
on other countries, especially ours which has a strong
Catholic background.
Foreign Study
“Rise in acceptance of same-sex relationships” Daavine
Miles: The acceptance of same-sex relationships/marriages has
increased quickly in the past four years, particularly among
Christians, the latest British Social Attitudes surveys suggest.
Of the 2942 respondents, 64% said that same-sex marriage was “not
wrong at all”, up from 59% in 2015. In 1987, 74% thought they
were “always” or “mostly” wrong compared with 19% today. The
Page | 23
report says that there has been “a shift towards acceptance among
every religious group in the past 5 years”.
In the 2017 survey, more than half (55 per cent) of the
respondents who identified themselves as Anglican said that same-
sex relationships were “not wrong at all” — an increase of 24
percentage points since 2012. The equivalent figure for Roman
Catholics is 62 per cent.
“It is possible that the interesting acceleration in
liberalization we have seen has occurred because we have reached
a tipping point, after which normalization occurs,” the report
says. It also identified “clear signs of increased support for a
government that is more generous with its spending and a growing
public willingness to pay for it”.
Almost half (48 per cent) of respondents said that they
wanted higher taxes to pay for increased spending on health,
education, and social benefits — the highest level for more than
a decade.
“A Right to Marry? Same-sex Marriage and Constitutional
Law” by Mark Newt: Marriage is both ubiquitous and central. All
across our country, in every region, every social class, every
race and ethnicity, every religion or non-religion, people get
married. For many if not most people, moreover, marriage is not a
trivial matter. It is a key to the pursuit of happiness,
Page | 24
something people aspire to—and keep aspiring to, again and again,
even when their experience has been far from happy.
To be told “You cannot get married” is thus to be excluded
from one of the defining rituals of the American life cycle.
The keys to the kingdom of the married might have been held
only by private citizens—religious bodies and their leaders,
families, other parts of civil society. So, it has been in many
societies throughout history. In the United States, however, as
in most modern nations, government holds those keys. Even if
people have been married by their church or religious group, they
are not married in the sense that really counts for social and
political purposes unless they have been granted a marriage
license by the state.
Unlike private actors, however, the state doesn’t have
complete freedom to decide who may and may not marry. The state’s
involvement raises fundamental issues about equality of political
and civic standing.
Same-sex marriage is currently one of the most divisive
political issues in our nation. In November 2008, Californians
passed Proposition 8, a referendum that removed the right to
marry from same-sex couples who had been granted that right by
the courts. This result has been seen by the same-sex community
as deeply degrading.
Page | 25
More recently, Iowa and Vermont have legalized same-sex
marriage, the former through judicial interpretation of the state
constitution, the latter through legislation. Analyzing this
issue will help us understand what is happening in our country,
and where we might go from here.
“Same-Sex Marriage Is Civil Rights Issue, Americans Say”
Rankin Rei: A Life Way Research poll shows that 58 percent of
American adults agree it is a civil rights issue and 64 percent
believe it is inevitable same-sex marriage will become legal
throughout the United States. Again, Life Way Research conducted
a wide-ranging survey of American adults on questions surrounding
the topic of same-sex marriage specifically the acceptance of
same-sex marriage in their state.
And according to findings it is 2 positive and 3 negatives
in various categories. "Clearly, Americans believe the
prerogative exists for individuals such as clergy or
photographers to deny services for same-sex marriage," said Ed
Stetzer, president of Life Way Research.
The Research shows that men are more likely than women to
agree that these individuals should have the right to refuse
services, rental agreements, or employment – as are Americans
Page | 26
calling themselves “Born-again, evangelical or fundamentalist
Christian.”
Synthesis
According to all of the Local literatures, Foreign
literatures, Local studies, and Foreign studies as was noted
earlier among all of these articles, books, and studies
Foreign and Local majority of the world now accepts same-
sex marriage but most is still not legalizing the same-sex
marriage because of it is contradicting the ideals of
people and the beliefs of religions especially the
Catholics as they view it is as a sin thus they will not go
to heaven and receive eternal life.
While the U.S. approved of this idea and protecting
LGBT individuals as they think it is the right thing to do
to accept them as they are even if they’re somewhat
different in a way they are still human that needs
acceptance, other people, and love. In this country and in
many parts of the world, things have been changing. We are
seeing greater respect and acceptance of people regardless
of their sexuality. However, we have also seen efforts to
avoid acceptance.
Page | 27
Studies shows that those who lived with homosexuals
are more tolerant to others, either homosexuals or
heterosexuals, because the teachings of the parents,
religion, and government affects the people who are
influenced by either one of these or all of these, thus
they can be more accepting, in the middle of accepting and
refusing the idea of accepting same-sex marriage in the
country they’re in or the whole world. Whether the country
is ready or not it doesn’t and shouldn’t matter because
only time will tell.

CHAPTER III
METHODOLOGY
It is the systematic theoretical analysis of the
method applied to a field of study. It comprises the
theoretical analysis of the body of methods and principles
associated with a branch of knowledge. Typically, it
encompasses concepts, theoretical model, phases and
qualitative technique.
Research Design
The researchers decide to used qualitative research
design as our general design. The method that the
researcher shall use narrative. The narrative design is a
descriptive way of presenting the research, through it we
can conduct a situational problem that they can use as an
instrument to answer the questions in the survey so that
they can give their opinions and perspective about the
specific topic.
Page | 29
Researcher’s Background, Beliefs and Biases
The researchers are a grade 11 Science Technology
Engineering Mathematics(STEM) student of Arellano
University Plaridel Campus and will conduct a research
about the perspective of other students of our school about
same-sex marriage.
The researchers believe that marriage is not just for
men and woman or for woman and men, but it can also be for
men to men and woman to woman. Same-sex marriage is for
homosexual who’s showing they’re true love for the person
they love and they want to live to the rest of their life
and that person with the same sex feel the same for them.
I believe that making two persons of same sex married is
not a bad thing as long as they are not stepping on others
prides.
Population, Participants and Sampling Scheme
The researchers will be going to choose our
respondents in Arellano University Plaridel Campus senior
high school students to answer the survey.
Page | 30
The researchers will pick (3) students from (5)
different strands such as STEM, HUMMS, ABM, ICT, and HE in
Arellano University Plaridel Campus to answer our questions
in the survey that the reserchers will going to conduct, we
will have a total of 15 students to be interviewed and we
will pick only the students at the age of (17-21) years
old.
Characteristic of Data
The researchers used the text method to gather the
specific demographic about the respondents in a detailed of
research gathering information of the “Acceptability of
Same-Sex Marriage to the Students of Arellano University
Plaridel Campus”.
Data Gathering Procedure
The data that the researchers gathered are from the
answers of people in the survey that the researchers
conduct. Our procedure is to make a text or visual
presentation of the survey that we make. The questions are
all about the perspective of the respondents about the
same-sex marriage, and in the survey that we make will
answer the question how same-sex marriage is accepted in
some students of Arellano University Plaridel Campus.
Page | 31
Instrument Used
The instrument that the researchers use to gather data
is through the survey questionnaire so that we use a text
or visual presentation for our research to collect the data
that we needed.
Analysis of Data Gathered
Coding Sorting
Theorizing Synthesizing
Coding data means finding out significant words and
phrases from the observed data. Always remember that
qualitative data analysis is all about finding out the
definition and interpretation, so the coding should have an
eye for such things. Sorting data is quickly organized or
arranging data into meaningful order that can analyze it
more effectively. The researchers arranged the answers of
the respondents to the most common answer. Synthesizing
data conducting interview information from a range of
sources in order to answer a question or construct an
argument. The researchers summarized the answered of the
Page | 32
respondents. Theorizing data is a process of making
conclusion. After data interpreted and arrange. The
researchers form a conclusive and honest conclusion to
Acceptance of Same-sex marriage

Analysis, Presentation and Interpretation of Data
This chapter discusses the data analysis, presentation
and interpretation of the data gathered by the researchers
from the respondents. This study aims to know the effects
of procrastination in academic aspect to the students of
Arellano University, Plaridel Campus. The present data that
has been gathered were studied and examined in order to
answer the questions shown in the statement of the problem.
The analytical procedures are arranged according to the
sequence of specific questions.

marry that person you want.
The question is would you follow your family or would

II. Minor Question
Is the legalization of same-sex marriage right to the
eyes of the students of Arellano University Plaridel
Campus?
According to the gathered data, majority of the
respondents’ states that it is right to make same-sex
marriage legal and they will support the government it will
happen because love knows no gender and it is their
freedom, there’s nothing wrong with same-sex marriage as
long as long as you’re not stepping on anyone’s pride. They
also believe that there’s nothing wrong for a same-sex
couples to adopt a child of their own because being a
parent doesn’t need any requirements so that it means that
gender is not a basis of being a parent. Minority of the
respondents’ states that it is not right to make same-sex
marriage legal and they will not be going to support the
government if it happened because you can’t simply force
the culture to change because they only believe in the
originated human creation and same-sex couples can’t be a
parent because of they can’t be married at all.
Page | 50
But if they really want to get married they can fly to
other countries where same-sex marriage is legal to
continue their desired marriage.
What will be the benefits of same-sex marriage if it
were to happen here in the Philippines?
According to the gathered data majority of the
respondents’ states in their answers that same-sex marriage
can be beneficial to the most of us because it can make us
a liberated people and it can lessen the number of
population but it can’t be beneficial in ways like in
parenting and making LGBT people more accepted and less
discriminated in their community because the majority of
the respondents believe that they can’t handle things only
true parents can do (heterosexual couples) and it can cause
more discrimination to the LGBT because it opposes the
teaching s of Christianity. Minority of the respondents’
states that same-sex marriage is not beneficial to the most
of us because they believe that it can only benefit the
LGBT and the family of same-sex couple, it will cause sin.
Page | 51
Minority of the respondents also said that in terms of
parenting same-sex couple and heterosexual is just the same
for they to believe that gender is not the basis of being a
parent and they also said that if same-sex marriage was
legalized it can be slowly accepted as time passes.
If you were a relative or friend of a LGBT who wants
to marry someone with the same gender, will you respect
their decision?
Majority of the respondents agrees that they will let
their relative if their relative wants to marry someone
with the same gender because it’s for the happiness of that
person. Even some of our respondents that doesn’t agrees
with same-sex marriage changed their minds when comes to
their relative. This just means that even they don’t agree
with it but when your family or a relative is in that
situation you will learn to accept it. Minority of our
respondents is not agreeing of letting one of their family
or relative marry someone with the same-gender. The
Page | 52
minority of the respondents believe that they know what the
best is for their family member or relative.
Conclusion
1. Is the legalization of same-sex marriage right to
the eyes of the students of Arellano University Plaridel
Campus?
According to the gathered data, there’s nothing wrong
in legalizing same-sex marriage. Everybody has the right to
be respected, no matter what your social estate is, no
matter what’s the color of thy skin, what race they were,
what is their gender. Girl, Boy, Lesbian, or Gay, everyone
should be respected, accept who they are, and make them
feel our love and support so that we can boost their
confidence to stand out and be proud in behalf of this
judgmental society.
Page | 53
2. What will be the benefits of same-sex marriage if
it were to happen here in the Philippines?
On the gathered data, same-sex marriage is beneficial.
It would be beneficial to the most of us because it will
make us a liberated people. Even though you’re straight, we
all will benefit because it shows equality for all, no
discrimination for them who wants to be true to themselves
and we should accept them as they are.
3. If you were a relative or friend of a LGBT who
wants to marry someone with the same gender, will you
respect their decision?
There is a lot of people who’s not agree with same-sex
marriage but what will happen if one of their family member
wants to marry the same-sex? According to the gathered
data, majority of our respondents who’s not agree on same-
sex marriage turned their mind and will support it, if one
of their family member wants to marry same-sex. It just
shows that most people will support it if it is for the
happiness of their family member. Like being a parent, we
just want all happiness and support that we can give for
our child, we want them to be happy as they are, we want to
Page | 54
them to be comfortable and show who they really are, we’ll
show them our love and support, our warm presence on the
steps and decisions that they will make, but we are still
here to guide for them not to be lost in the way and keep
their feet on the right track.
4. How open are the student’s mind on issues facing
a homosexual like same-sex marriages?
According to the gathered data, majority of the
respondents’ states that it is right to make same-sex
marriage legal and they will support the government it will
happen because love knows no gender and it is their
freedom, there’s nothing wrong with same-sex marriage as
long as long as you’re not stepping on anyone’s pride.
There’s nothing wrong for a same-sex couples to adopt a
child of their own because being a parent doesn’t need any
requirements like you need to be like something perfect or
you need to have a perfect skills of being a mother or
father to a child so that it means that gender is not a
basis of being a parent. Some of the respondents’ states
Page | 55
that it is not right to make same-sex marriage legal and
they will not going to support the government if it
happened because you can’t simply force the culture to
change because they only believe in the originated human
creation and that is, god only made a man and woman and
same-sex couples can’t be a parent because of they can’t be
married at all, but if they really want to get married they
can fly to other countries where same-sex marriage is legal
to continue their desired marriage. It just says that the
students of Arellano University Plaridel Campus have enough
knowledge of what is the meaning of same-sex marriage? And
what will be its effect to our society. Even though they
have enough knowledge about same-sex marriage the students
of Arellano University Plaridel Campus have opposite
opinions about the right of legalizing same-sex marriage.
Recommendation
Based on the findings and conclusions presented, the
following recommendations were suggested:
1. People who always reviling homosexuals to make
more careful in the words they use and to help them accept
homosexuals as they are.
Page | 56
2. Students of early age to make them understand
homosexuals at a young age.
3. Parents so they can accept their child if their
child was a homosexual.
4. Priests so they can able to understand that
homosexuals have their rights and privilege.
5. Further research for the different views about
same-sex marriage.

“ACCEPTABILITY OF SAME-SEX MARRIAGE FOR THE STUDENTS

OF ARELLANO UNIVERSITY PLARIDEL CAMPUS”

Everybody has their own way of getting married,

especially when it comes to same-sex marriage. Similar sex

marriage is always a big and sensitive issue not only in

countries that are chronologically Christian, but also to

the world. People have their own opinion regarding the

legalization of same-sex marriage in their respective

countries, and there have been numerous debates on the

above-mentioned issues. Also, part of social reform is the
