EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The main objective was to determine the influence of the parental separation on their children future relationship. The researchers focused on ten (10) respondents, 5 parents who are separated with their respective children who are in same situation. They were residing in selected places in Antipolo, Teresa and Cardona during school year 2017-2018. As the result of the study, both the parents and children who suffered from the separation were hurt emotionally by their spouses. Their husbands cheated on them resulting to separation. And by this, the factor that affects the separation of the respondents is the infidelity of their spouses. It was also found out that the children and parents had common life experiences and factor affecting the separation. Apparently, both of them individually chose to decide what their actions. No influence had been going on between children and parents. They are somehow related in a way that when it comes to marriage and what they have to do with it, both of them keep the issues and decision upon themselves. Based on the assessment and evaluation, and from the interview made with the respondents, parental separation does not influence the children's separation with their husband. The present circumstance that they are in is based on their own decision. As for general recommendations, The Philippine Commission on Women may coordinate with Gabriela Party List to conduct seminars about the rational and reasonable criteria about Women's right and empowerment with their family to encourage them to have a good family relationship. Also the Local Government through Barangays may conduct a program for a house to house counseling to their community for the awareness of the negative impact of separation and how important it is to have a complete family. And the future research may be conducted and use other variables, subject or respondents.
