55% of Filipinos believe that 'first love never dies' according to SWS survey

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and the recent survey of the Social Weather Stations was released just in time. According to the survey, more than half of Filipino adults or 55 percent believe that “first love never dies” while seven out of 10 Filipinos agree with the statement that, “If you love someone then set him free, if he/she comes back again it was meant to be”.


The Social Weather Survey was conducted from Nov. 28 to Dec. 1, 2008 using face-to-face interviews of 1,500 adults divided into random samples of 300 each in Metro Manila, Visayas, and Mindanao and 600 in balance Luzon.

This belief that first love never dies is similar among men (56 percent) and women (54 percent), based on the survey. Fifty-eight percent of those who are married share this belief, 54 percent among those with live-in partners, and 45 percent among those without a spouse or partner.

Well, I don't know just about first love, but if you really love someone then you should never stop loving that person. The connection may not be as strong as it used to be but I think that this person will always have a special place in your heart. Your memories together will never die and will be encrypted in your thoughts for the rest of your life.
