Courtship is the traditional dating period before engagement and marriage. Nowadays, in every schools not only in the city but akso in provinces, courtship among students everts as young loves emerges for those involved.

It is a practiced in the modern was as characterized in the Western society, the usual boy meets a girl is tempered by local tradition of "hiya"(shame) at first for any boy to express his young love. But once it is responded affirmatively, either shown by acts or express by words, the Western methods as seen in imported movies id found to happen. The dating or going to the theatre and social gatherings is done casually in disregard od the Filipino tradition "no dating without a chaperon or companion in the outing".

More often than not, the usual parental consent is no longer needed and the students couple in love secretly so to the meeting places.
