ABSTRACT
Display of affection in public is an unacceptable act but still observed and practiced in the University of the Philippines Integrated School (UPIS). The present study sought to define public display of affection, enumerate cases that have been documented in UPIS and study the school’s rules and regulation on PDA. Interviews were conducted with the Assistant Principal for Administration and Chairman of the Student Welfare Committee and Guidance Counselor to study on how the administration responds to the issue. A survey questionnaire was also distributed to randomly selected 7-10 students to get their perspectives on PDA. Related results were shown which concludes that PDA is indeed observed and practiced in UPIS. The school’s rules and regulations towards PDA is not properly implemented which simply tells that PDA is an alarming issue and requires immediate solution from the faculty or administration.
