 Courtship
Is the period in a couple's relationship which precedes their
engagement and marriage or it is an establishment of an agreed
relationship of a more enduring kind. During courtship a couple get to
know each other and decide if there will be an engagement or such agreement. A courtship
may be an informal and private matter between two people or may be a public affair or a formal
arrangement with family approval.
Different Traditional Practices of Courtship in the Philippines
*Ilocos and Tagalog regions
In Ilocos, serenading is known as tapat, "to be in front of the woman’s house”
likely the same to harana and also to the balagtasan of the Tagalogs. The suitor
begins singing a romantic song, then the courted lady responds by singing too.
Rooster courtship, a form of courting in Luzon is done differently. The rooster is
assigned to be the "negotiator", wherein the male chicken is left to stay in the home of
the courted to crow every single morning for the admired lady's family.
*Bulacan
In the province of Bulacan in Central Luzon, the Bulaqueños have a kind of
courtship known as the naninilong which means serenading from the basement. At
midnight, the suitor goes beneath the nipa hut, a house that is elevated by bamboo
*Apayao
The Apayaos has a practice that allows a man and a woman to sleep together
during the night. This is known as mahal-alay. This form of courting assists in
assessing the woman’s feeling for her lover.
*Palawan
In Palawan, they perform courtship through the use of love riddles or
pasaguli. The purpose of the love riddles is to assess the sentiments of the parents of
both suitor and admirer. After this pabalic / pabalik is done to settle the price in a form
of dowry that will be received by the women from the courting man.
*Visayas
When courting, Cebuanos also resort to serenading, called balak. They also
write love letters that are sent through a trusted friend or relative of the woman.
Presents are not only given to the woman, but also to her relatives. They also use
love potions to win the affection of the woman.
Man from Leyte performs the pangagad or paninilbihan instead of paying a
form of dowry during courtship. The suitor accomplishes household and farm chores
for the family of the woman. The service normally lasts for approximately a year
before the man and woman can get married. It is also referred to as subok - a trial or
test period for the serving suitor. In Bicol, it is called pamianan.
*Mindanao
 Palabas, sarakahan tupul, or magpasumbahi, is practiced by the Tausugs of
Mindanao. A suitor would threaten to stab his heart while in front of the courted
woman’s father. If the father of the woman refuses to give her daughter’s hand to the
suitor, the suitor is smitten by a knife.

The Bagobos, on the other hand, sends a knife or a spear as a gift to the
home of the courted woman for inspection. Accepting the weapon is equivalent to
accepting the man’s romantic intention and advances.
 DATING
Is a social activity which involves two or more people
generally assessing each other’s suitability for a potential
relationship. Dating can also be enjoyed as part of an already active
relationship. The word dating actually comes from the arranging of a
time and date of meeting. Is a form of courtship consisting of social
activities done by two people, as partner in an intimate relationship
or as a spouse. It refers to the act of meeting and engaging in some mutually agreed upon
social activity, together, as a couple.

 MARRIAGE

significant event that may happen to your life. It takes only two
people, a man and a woman to unite and make a successful
relationship as married couple.

marriage settlements may to a certain extent fix the property relations during the marriage.

MARRIAGE FAMILY DATING ATTRACTION
COURTSHIP INFATUATION ENGAGEMENT LOVE
 After marriage, a couple’s desire is to build a family. Humans are reproduced through
sexual reproduction. In this kind of reproduction, the reproductive cells of man and woman join
together to make a new human cell. This process is called fertilization.
Fertilization is a reproductive process wherein half of the genes of the father and
mother combine to form a single cell; the new cell then divides and forms more cells. This ball
of cells enters the uterus and attaches itself to the uterine wall. The attachment of the
developing cells to the uterus is called implantation.
Pregnancy is the time when a new cell is formed during fertilization, grows and
develops into a baby in the woman’s uterus. From the time that the ovum and the sperm cell
unite until the end of the eight week, the developing human is called embryo.
Teenage Pregnancy (Mccoy and Wibbelsman, 1992-235-236)
An unplanned and unwanted pregnancy can cause emotional anguish,
possible health risks, and in some cases, limited life options. Teenage pregnancies are
premature because they occur in mothers who maybe too young and / or immature to
care for a child adequately. In such cases, the mother may be so young endangering
pregnancy.
Consider this statistics>
11
1. Teens at 15 and younger face a 60% higher risk of death during pregnancy and child
birth than young mothers at the age of 20.
2. Babies born too young teenage mothers are two to three times more likely to die
during their first year than babies born to older mothers.
3. Teen mothers are twice more likely to have low birth weight infants (at risk of physical
and mental defects as well as increased risk of dying).
4. Seventy percent (70%) of teen mothers get no medical care at all during critical first
months of pregnancy and 25% get no prenatal care at all. This is specifically
dangerous because, while a teen may be able to conceive a baby, her body may not
be quite ready for the stresses of pregnancy and child birth. Thus, she is at higher risk
for complications like high blood pressure, toxemia, prolonged and difficult labor, more
vaginal lacerations during childbirth, and more after-delivery complications and
infections.
5. Even with good prenatal care, teenage mothers are more likely to have premature
labor and to deliver low birth-weight babies.
6. Young teen mothers are likely to drop out of school and face high risk of
unemployment, poverty, and dependence on parents.
7. If they marry due to pregnancy, their risk of break up, or separation is high.
8. The young mother is more likely to be angered and disillusioned by her baby’s
demands and may become an abusive parent. Each mother is a distinct individual.
Some young women make wonderful mothers and manage to build satisfying lives for
themselves. Unfortunately, these tend to be the minority. Chances are young
pregnancy is a problem for the pregnant teenager and her family.
Changes in the Mother’s Body
During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes many changes. As soon as
implantation happens, the mother’s uterus releases special hormones, which is only released
by the woman’s body during pregnancy. Some of the hormones produced by the pregnant
woman’s body makes her nauseated, this situation is called “morning sickness” and usually last
for 3 months.
The same hormones make the woman’s breast enlarge and prepare to produce milk.
Over the 9-month period, the woman’s uterus stretches to hold a full-sized newborn
baby. This stretching makes her abdomen get larger. A pregnant woman also experiences
swelling of legs, difficulty in sleeping, restlessness, and irritability as the fetus gets larger. Many
women, feel clumsy or uncomfortable too because of the changes that taking place.
Nourishing the Baby
Almost everything that goes into the mother’s body enters her bloodstream and goes
to the placenta. The placenta is an organ that grows in the woman’s uterus during pregnancy
and allows nutrients, gases, and wastes to be exchanged between the mother and the fetus.
The mother’s blood circulates on one side of the placenta, while the fetus blood
circulates on the other side. Nutrients, fluids, and oxygen flow through the membrane from the
mother to the fetus. Waste products and carbon dioxide flow across the placenta from the fetus
to the mother. During pregnancy, the fetus gets its nutrition from food the mother eats. To
ensure the health of the fetus, the mother needs to eat healthy foods and take special vitamins.
She should get regular medical check-ups to protect her health and the health of the growing
fetus.

nauseated, this situation is called “morning sickness” and usually last for 3 months.
 For some women, the breast tenderness, morning sickness, and fatigue of the first
trimester ease up or disappear during the second trimester, while the physical
discomforts of late pregnancy have yet to start.
 Pressure on your bladder may be less as the uterus grows up out of the pelvis. The
third trimester lasts from week 28 to the birth. Many women have some discomfort
during this time as their belly gets bigger. Sleep problems are common during this
period.
 During pregnancy, the fetus gets its nutrition from food the mother eats. To ensure the
health of the fetus, the mother needs to eat healthy foods and take special vitamins.
She should get regular medical check-ups to protect her health and the health of the
growing fetus.

How to take care of a pregnant woman:
Pregnant woman should be taken care of properly by doing the following:
- Accompany a pregnant woman in a daily exercise for motivation.
- Give fruits, vegetables, and lots of water.
- Listening to music gives a pregnant woman as well as the baby in her womb relaxation.
- Let her sleep on her left side.
- Go together with a pregnant woman during check-ups.
Mother’s role during and after pregnancy:
 Avoid vices such as smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages.
 Avoid stressful activities.
 See to it that she gets the necessary pre-natal and post-natal check-up.
 Do exercises like walking, yoga, etc.
 Eat nutritious food.
Father’s role during and after the pregnancy of the wife:
 See to it that the mother gets the necessary pre-natal and post-natal check-up.
 He must take care of the mother and the baby.
 He should see to it that the necessary immunizations as scheduled are strictly
followed.
 He should provide healthy diet meals for the mother and the child.
Importance of Maternal Nutrition
Maternal nutritional status affects the offspring’s health development significantly
during early embryogenesis, pregnancy, birth and lactation, and subsequently determines
health during growth and even throughout adulthood. On the other end of the human lifetime
scale, the importance of maternal nutrition expands into the time period before conception:
Pre-conception nutritional status not only influences fertility, but also embryogenesis
and life-long health. Predisposition for coronary heart diseases, type-2 diabetes mellitus, and
hypertension can be caused by intrauterine adaptations to fetal malnutrition. Hence, optimizing
nutrition for women during their reproductive period can be expected to have a great impact on
the well-being of the next generation.

The Role of parents.
1. Care givers: parents give their children the love and care that they need to grow up happy
and healthy, and full of love themselves.
2. Material providers: parents provide all of the material things that a child needs, including
food and shelter.
3. Educators: part of a parent’s role involves educating their children about everything from
doing up coat buttons to learning the alphabet.
4. Moral guides: parents ought to provide moral guidance as early as possible, so that their
children grow up into upright citizens.
5. Providers of emotional support: sympathy, empathy and kindness ought to be abundant in
everything that parents do. There is no point in providing material things for a child if this

well nourished.
2. Basic education: before children start school, it is their parents who are responsible for their
education. Once they are at school, parents still are responsible for ensuring that their children
attend classes and do their homework.
3. Moral examples: parents should not just tell their children what is right and what is wrong.
They should also be a good example to their children of what is right and wrong.
4. Material necessities: parents are responsible for ensuring that their children have enough to
eat and drink, that they stay nice and warm in winter and are protected from the sun in summer.
They do not need to spoil their children, but they should ensure that they have a safe place to
live and sleep and clothes to wear as well as toys to play with and books to read.
5. Love: love is not just an emotion – it can also be argued that it is a parent’s responsibility to
show love and individual affection to their children at all times. Parental love is something that
comes naturally – parents just need to make sure that they express this love so their children
can see it clearly.
The duties of parents.
1. Choosing a name: parents are almost always the ones who choose their child’s name,
though a child may choose to go by a nick name or to change their name once they become an
adult.
2. Protection: a key parental duty is protecting their child from things that could harm them
physically and emotionally. Of course, that does not mean that a parent should lie to their child
about the world, or wrap them in cotton wool. However, they need to keep their child safe from
danger – and to teach their child how to keep themselves safe as well.

3. Discipline: children can be disciplined without the need for angry words or physical violence.
