Quezon City is jam-packed with local parks you can go for hangouts or dates. Quezon Memorial Circle, NA Parks & Wildlife is just around the corner. But according to a report from GMA News, the highest number of single people in Metro Manila, with an estimated 1.1M individuals, are from Quezon City.
The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) also says that approximately 34M Filipinos, or 31% of PH's population, is single! Wow! ang dami natin!?
The art of being happily single
Professor Nimfa Ogena of the UP Population Institute explains that many young people choose to be single, despite all the clamor on social media.
"It's not really a disadvantage, and it's probably a change in perception." She also notes that most single people are more likely to attain life chances than most people in a relationship. Let's say, finishing higher levels of education or finding good jobs with great pay— these allow them to choose to grow on their own.
Being single is not bad at all. If you prefer your own company, or recovering from a breakup and need some time to regroup yourself? It's okay! There are so many reasons why people choose to stay single.
As my friends always say: Do whatever makes you happy!
