Filipina married to Japanese are prevented from socially integrating Japanese society and improving communication with Japanese husbands and children since their Japanese proficiency is not sufficient.As to the reasons to divorce or separation from their Japanese husbands or partners, the respondents answered the following reasons; their husbands were unemployed, having extra-marital affairs with other women or battering. Their Japanese husbands are having very serious behaviour which affects the marriage life no matter where the Filipina mother and children live in Japan or the Philippines. The Filipina mothers are usually take care of their children after divorce or separation with Japanese husbands or partners. In Japan, the Filipina mother-headed households are willing to live independently. They are able to avail of living allowance and financial assistance for the child and as such given by the local government to prepare for the independent living. However, when the mothers face labor problems, they do not know about appropriate knowledge and measures. In the Philippines, the embassy of Japan in Manila does not respond to the problems. In this situation, some NGOs working for women are helping the mothers establish self-help group to implement different activities. However, these NGOs are limited in organizational capability to respond to their various needs.Projecting the future marriage and divorce, there is a need to study about supporting social structures by which multicultural families are formed. For this, this study suggests recommend for further studies about pre-departure orientation in the Philippine, integration program in Japan and reintegration program after divorce or separation. Furthermore, there is a need to ensure the bilateral cooperation between Japan and the Philippines.

与日本人结婚的菲律宾人，由于日语水平不够，无法融入日本社会，也无法与日本丈夫和孩子改善沟通。至于与日本丈夫或伴侣离婚或分居的原因，受访者回答了以下原因；她们的丈夫要么失业，要么与其他女性有婚外情，要么有家暴行为。无论菲律宾母亲和孩子住在日本还是菲律宾，她们的日本丈夫都有非常严重的行为，影响了婚姻生活。菲律宾母亲通常在与日本丈夫或伴侣离婚或分居后照顾孩子。在日本，菲律宾的母亲户主家庭愿意独立生活。他们能够利用当地政府为子女提供的生活津贴和财政援助，为独立生活做准备。然而，当母亲面临劳动问题时，却不知道适当的知识和措施。在菲律宾，日本驻马尼拉大使馆没有回应这些问题。在这种情况下，一些为妇女工作的非政府组织正在帮助母亲建立自助小组，实施不同的活动。然而，这些非政府组织的组织能力有限，无法满足他们的各种需求。预测未来的婚姻和离婚，有必要研究支持多元文化家庭形成的社会结构。为此，本研究建议进一步研究菲律宾的离境前辅导、日本的融入计划以及离婚或分居后的重返社会计划。此外，有必要确保日本和菲律宾之间的双边合作。
