Rising cases of international marriages, as mentioned earlier, have contributed to the
internationalization and multicultural composition of Filipino families. Children born
out of these marriages or relationships, contribute to “hyphenated” Filipinos, for whom
identity issues could be problematic or enriching, depending on where they are.52 The
continuing links of those who have married foreigners with their families of origin in the
Philippines speak of family ties maintained across different geographies. Usually, Filipino
nationals in international marriages settle in the countries of their foreign spouses. Some
of these marriages or relationships which did not work may end up with the Filipino
spouses or partners and their children returning to the Philippines.53 NGOs, such as the
Development Action for Women Network (DAWN) and Batis Center, provide assistance to
women who used to work in Japan and their Japanese-Filipino children through various
means—counselling, livelihood programs for women, assistance in finding fathers and
seeking child support. Women returning from the Republic of Korea and their Korean-
Filipino children are a more recent development. In addition, there are also Korean-
Filipino children who were born in the Philippines and were abandoned by their Korean
fathers after said fathers completed their English study program in the country.
