| Summary: | The study focuses on the individual experience of young adult Chinese-Filipinos who are or had been in an interracial relationship with a non-Chinese individual. The purpose of the study is to be able to explore, describe and understand the unique perception and experiences of these individuals and how they understand the meaning behind it. The researchers used a qualitative phenomenological interpretative analysis as their research design and framework. Three female Chinese-Filipino participants who are residing in the Philippines and exhibits Chinese traditions and customs in their everyday life were interviewed. Result of the study showed that having a Chinese lineage is preferred by Chinese-Filipino families, however, based on the own understanding and perception of the three participants, having a partner from a Chinese descent is not a necessity for them but the person should at least be financially stable and have a good background and personality, for the family to accept the person even if they do not bear any Chinese lineage. |
