Nearly four out of five (78 percent) of Filipino adults believe that "love cannot be planned and pursued, it just comes to a person," the survey said.
The remaining 22 percent believe, however, that "love is planned and pursued until one finds it."
"Belief that love just comes to a person is strong among both men and women..." SWS said.
But the belief is stronger in the female respondents with 84 percent of women saying one should wait for love, higher than the 72 percent in men.
As if fulfilling traditional gender roles, more men (28 percent) think love should be pursued compared to women (16 percent).
"Belief that love just comes to a person is stronger among men aged 35 and above (ranging from 73 to 75 percent), compared to younger men aged 18-34 (66 to 67 percent)," SWS said.
On the other hand, belief that love just comes to a person is slightly stronger among the younger 18-44 women, compared to those aged 45 and above.
