Filipinos receive most LOVE in the World


Paris and Rome may be famous for romance, but it’s Filipinos who get the most love. That, at least, is a conclusion that can be drawn from a global love survey conducted by the Gallup Organization.

In our latest column for Bloomberg View, we mine the unique Gallup data for insights into the nature of love and its relationship to nationality, age, money and economic development. The survey, conducted in 136 countries, posed the question: “Did you experience love for a lot of the day yesterday?”

In honor of Valentine’s Day, we thought readers might be interested in seeing the full ranking. So here goes. The first number after each country name is the percentage of respondents who said they had experienced love the previous day. The second (in parentheses) is the sample size for the country.

1. Philippines 93% (2193)

2. Rwanda 92% (1495)

3. Puerto Rico 90% (495)

4. Hungary 89% (1002)

5. Cyprus 88% (988)

6. Trinidad and Tobago 88% (506)

7. Paraguay 87% (1986)

8. Lebanon 86% (970)

9. Costa Rica 85% (1985)

10. Cambodia 85% (1961)
