Armed Forces of the Philippines(AFP)

Good day!
I'm one of the students of University of Batangas- Graduate School taking up Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology. I'm conducting a research focusing on the Psychological well-being of military spouses and families. As part of my research study, may I ask any information regarding:
1) The number of active military personnel who are already married.
2) How many active military personnel does our country have right now?
3) And do you have any available mental health program given to the spouses or families of the active military personnel.
Your response is highly appreciated.Thank you

To Whom It May Concern,

I, Salve Deinne E. Balantac, am writing to request permission to conduct research study about the spouses of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. I am currently enrolled in the University of Batangas - Graduate School under the Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology program. I am in the process of writing my thesis entitled “Psychological Well-Being and Marital Satisfaction of Military Spouses: A Basis for Marital Psychotherapeutic Intervention”.

The primary purpose of my thesis is to assess the effects of the factors such as deployment , socioeconomic resources, family stressors, and lack of social support on the psychological well-being of military spouses. It also aims to determine the level of marital satisfaction among the respondents. The results of these research study will be a basis for the proposal of marital psychotherapeutic intervention. 

As part of my research study, may I ask any information about the following:
The number of active military personnel who are already married.
How many active military personnel does our country have right now?
Available mental health programs specifically designed for the spouses or families of the military personnel.
Previous research about the psychological well-being and marital satisfaction of the spouses of the military personnel.

Any information that you will provide for my research study will be greatly appreciated. For any questions or concerns that you have at any time, you may contact me at my email [email protected] or mobile number 09771884294. Thank you very much.
