... in response to cbf, where you been hiding?, posted by Jimbo on Jan 6, 2002Here is a direct quote from the report. Note that it says based largely on data provided by the agencies themselves. It is amazing how many times this report is skewed to support the position of the poster. Basically, there is NO factual data. PERIOD!!!!
"It is interesting to note that, based largely on data provided by the agencies themselves (along with the Commission on Filipinos Overseas report cited above), marriages arranged through these services would appear to have a lower divorce rate than the nation as a whole, fully 80 percent of these marriages having lasted over the years for which reports are available."
