the Chinese-Filipino society. Siblings interact and bond with one another inside their rooms.
However, conflicts are inevitable in the relationship and that the methods in which they

games and its effect on people‘s perception of romantic relationship. Participants were 35
Grades 7 to 12 students in a private school in Quezon City and some college students. Online
survey questionnaires were sent to each of the participant and only 6 students were chosen
to be interviewed. The data showed that 67% of these interviewees said that dating-
simulation games gave them a broader perspective on romantic relationships and romantic
relationship is something complicated for them, while 33% said that it gave them an
idealized view of romantic relationships and dating simulation games are unrealistic.

Afterwards, the answers were compiled and coded into a pie chart, and the results were
analyzed and evaluated. The results showed that majority of the students considered the
family business as a prime factor that influenced their decisions in taking their strand;
however, even if the family business was not put into consideration, the respondents would
still remain on their current strand and career path since majority of them would want to start
their own business rather than continue their existing one.
