ACTIVITY 3
Answer the following in your own words.

I. The picture below is a typical family residing in Metro Manila. Surround

the picture with the probable reason why the family chose to have
many children.

There might be various reasons as to why this family chose to have a big
number of children. One possible reason could be culturally inclined as
Filipinos were known as firm believers of the thought that the bigger the
family, the happier and wealthier they are for they personally believe that
children are your wealth. In addition, it can also be inclined with
unemployment. It is logically studied that people who are unemployed
have much more time to be intimate with their partners, thus, resulting to
creation of off springs. In fact, there is a material number of researches
that claims that Filipino families who are led by unemployed parents have
much more children than those who are well off financially. Furthermore,
this might also be a reason of a patriarchal set up in the society as some
people perceive a man as a great father if he has a large family regardless
if he can manage to sustain their living.
