CONCLUSIONS &
RECOMMENDATIONS
The NATIONAL FILIPINO CATHOLIC YOUTH STUDY 2013
• It is evident that the wealth of data gathered by this study provides a very comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the Filipino Catholic youth's group, identification, ideology, rituals (public and private),and experience related to their received religious tradition.
10/7/2014
29
• More importantly, it also reveals religion's significant and broad relationship with many of their demographic/socioeconomic factors as well as attitudes, thus providing evidence that youth is indeed a diverse category.
• The findings are mostly positive on account of the self-rating procedures that were generally employed.
• That said, they are also very indicative of youth ministry and religious education programs that for the most part appear to be very responsive to the integral needs and concerns of their target beneficiaries.
10/7/2014
30
• The overall life-size picture generated by the findings is that the Filipino Catholic youth of today have remained firmly rooted in their Catholic religious tradition, have believed mostly in what it teaches about faith and morals, have not only attended normative religious services but in their own private sphere have also sought to establish a personal relation with God.
• All of these suggest a firm commitment to the Roman Catholic tradition as a faith that continually provides them with the things expected of any religion worth its name: identity, values, meaning, purpose, and healing amidst the many vicissitudes and challenges of daily life.

Recommendations
1. Those who are between 13-22 years of age (81%) and, through no fault of their own, as interest in religion may be dependent on the life cycle, tend to be less religious than their counterparts in terms of institutional religion;
2. Those who think that the Church should not be involved in politics (55.1%), and may be unaware of its prophetic right and duty to provide moral guideposts in the secular sphere;
10/7/2014
32
3. Those who do not agree with the Church’s stance on the RH Law (48.9%), and may have an inadequate understanding of its expected impact on the moral fiber of the young people and the family;
4. Those who are studying in public schools(53.2%), and thus are more likely receiving less pastoral and catechetical care than their counterparts;
10/7/2014
33
5. Those who had thoughts of becoming a priest or nun (45%), in view of an alarming decline in the numbers of young people who want to serve God and the Church in these vocations;
6. Those who are in the lower economic bracket (21.5%) and thus would not only be vulnerable to those who may take advantage of their economic limitations but surely need the Church’s socioeconomic support;
10/7/2014
34
7. Those who are unemployed (18.4%) or who dropped out of school (18%), and thus may be in the same boat as those in the lower economic bracket, and those studying in public schools;
8. Those who at times had thoughts of leaving the Church (13%) and vulnerable to sects who are on the prowl to proselytize them;
10/7/2014
35
9. Those whose parents are both alive but do not live together (9.8%), and thus socio-psychologically at a clear disadvantage when compared with those who live with both parents; and
10. Those whose fathers are deceased (10.3%) and may be in financial dire straits, and thus are either forced much earlier than they should to earn income for their families, or to combine work with studies.
