sample for the study consisted of ten (10) students, five (5) teachers and ten (10)
parents purposively selected coming from Quezon National High School,
Barucboc, Quezon, Isabela. The instrument used for data collection was a self

related literature and study in the internet. The data collected were analyzed
using both likert scale, where; 4points- strongly agree, 3points- agree, 2points-

CHAPTER I
The family is the child’s first place of contact with the world. The child
as a result, acquires initial education and socialization from parents and other
significant persons in the family. The family is the people who allows each
foundation of love and trust is seen. When everything seems to be wrong the
family should be the one who make it right. Nevertheless, families should be
intact. Hands are strongly held together and there is no sign of separation.

because sometimes family will tear apart. Agulana (2000) pointed out that the
family lays the psychological, moral, and spiritual foundation in the overall
towards their children. Every parent is expected to be a model for the children
to learn from. Parents can only become model if they are able to fulfil the basic
obligation of preparing the children for adult life. Parents are expected to act as
functioning union between a mother and a father, so when a break up exist, the

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Broken families can result from separation due illness, divorce or other
issues. The break-up of a family has many negative impacts on the children. The
children are more likely to act out against siblings, biological parents or step

involved in broken families are also more likely to engage in early sexual

traditionally it is the family that keeps us strong and give us the courage to do

Filipino family can really help to build a good attitude of every person or a child,
it also helps a person to honour his dignity and bring achievements to each
member. That how important is the family to Filipino people. A family that has
a father and a mother that bond with each other and give love to each other can
be a good example to the society. It also important to show the love of the family
