A recent survey by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) revealed that Filipinos primarily express love through acts of service, but the overall satisfaction in romantic relationships has reached a 20-year low.
A recent survey by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) revealed that nearly seven in 10 Filipinos or 67% prefer to express their love through ' acts of service ,' making it the most common of the so-called ' love languages .' The nationwide survey, conducted from December 12 to 18, 2024, found that Filipinos often show love by cooking meals, running errands, helping with chores, or fixing things around the house—sometimes without being asked.
'Words of affirmation' and spending 'quality time' with loved ones are tied at second at 51% each followed by 'giving gifts' (33%) and 'physical touch' (29%).\The survey also found that most people wish for 'love and companionship' (19%) this Valentine's Day, surpassing 'money' (10%), which was the most desired gift last year. A lot of men also said they would like to receive 'any gift from the heart' (9%) and 'flowers' (8%) while women would accept 'money' (15%) and 'flowers' (12%). Despite these numbers, however, the SWS said Filipinos who are 'happy' with their romantic relationships hit a 20-year low. Only 46% reported being 'very happy,' down 12 points from 58% in December 2023. Meanwhile, 36% said they 'could be happier,' and 18% admitted to having 'no love life.'\The decline in love life satisfaction was observed among both men and women across different civil statuses, with the sharpest drop among men in live-in relationships. The SWS non-commissioned survey was conducted through face-to-face interviews with 2,160 adults nationwide, covering Balance Luzon (1,080 respondents), Metro Manila (360), the Visayas (360), and Mindanao (360)
