MANILA - Legalizing absolute divorce in the Philippines would allow individuals to start new lives, its main proponent in the Senate said Tuesday, as she sought to debunk the opinion that it would des

troy the family as an institution.

Hontiveros said contrary to the opinion of Catholic and conservative groups, divorce is “pro-marriage, pro-family and pro-children.” Sibonga said her husband was abusive and would always remind her that he only married her because he was forced to. The OSG, the designated “defender of the marital bond,” represents the interest of the state in protecting marriage as the basic family institution. This means it has the power to intervene in marital cases, on top of being the data repository of annulment petitions in the country.

“We are victims. We go through the process of trying to fix the marriage despite the fact that we know that this is the injustice that’s being done to us.” “Pinilit pa rin niyang sumama sa kabit niya. Iniwanan niya kami. Sabi ko sa kanya kung may kabit ka, 5 araw ka sa kabit mo, dalawang araw ka sa amin, para ‘di lang makita ng anak naming hiwalay kami,” she said.

Naku po!...sinasabi ko na nga ba?...anak ng diablo itong babae na ito!..kasangakapan ng satanas ang ganitong klase ng kaisispan ng isang tao!...hindi ito karunungan ang nagmumula sa itaas!...sa ditablo!!...what a diabolic woman?!!

Bakit kaya maraming ayaw ng DIVORCE kahit may existing ANNULMENT naman sa Pilipinas? DivorceLawNow

Stupid idea. From a stupid woman.

lenirobredo , Makakatulong po ito sa relasyon nyo ni Bolet pag na divorsyo na nya asawa nya!

I have nothing against divorce. But i an pro divorce instead of having a miserable life with someone you don’t love anymore 👊🏻🥩 chos!

I do agree with hontiveros. Just passed the f***n bill...

Pondo lang para sa pantulong sa farmers eh dis divorce will need for foster homes para sa mga maiiwanan nang both parents na atat na atat to enter into anader marriage. Will the grannies be willing to be in-charge of d kids?

Itodo mo na Hontivirus..After sogie,divorce naman and after that abortion namanTutal d church is mum on dis. Haissst!

No, it's not pro-family and pro-children. As living here in d US for many years, I observed dat divorce is not for a country dat has a gov't wid limited funds to support neglected & abandoned kids dat can be affected by divorced parents hu entered into anader marriage.

hontiveros is pushing on us her own version of utopia, no wonder all her proposed bills are palpak! 🙄

Seguro dapat ke Hontiviros padala sa Camp Sawi

What's happening with the world? SOGIE, then this.. What's next?

My husband walk away 2008 never come back. I’m still here living for past 16 years. Remaining same status MARIED!!! I’m free but. Not on the papers. It’s bothering me I want to have freedom

When it turns violent and puts people at risk. Not all problems kaya nang counseling lets be realistic . More importantly people need a better way to live.

Paano naman naging Pro Family? Pakiexplain mabuti. Tama na ang annulment. Mas lalong mawawalang saysay ang kasal kung magkakaron ng divorce dito sa Pinas

Nagmahal, Nasaktan, Nag divorce

Such twisted logic!

Si hontiveros lng may sabi niyan...

?

Wag nlng magpakasal kng mgddivorce dn lng pla.

When you marry, you swore to be together , till death do us part.. Iba na ngyun...'till divorce make us apart' Haisst.. WESTERNIZED na talaga Pinas...

Sa tingin nyo po ba,dapat pabang magsama sa iisang bubong ang mag asawa kung hindi na sila magkasundo at hindi na nila mahal ang isat isa?

Pro children?

What are you saying?! Oh come on!

Nakakalungkot isipin na ganito isip ng mga politiko : para lamang hindi mawalan ng mga taga boto, mas papabor sila sa mga nakakarami kahit na alam nilang hindi ito tama.

Oh yes pro...PRO...GULO! With or without divorce troubles in marriage are still to stay, just take a look at Uncle Sam's crambling family institution.

DIVORCE LAW is not the reason why there's BROKEN MARRIAGES it's the BROKEN VOW Nangako na mamahalin mo habang buhay, na hindi mo iiwan sa hirap at ginhawa... Pero asan na? Andun sa Kabit nya kahit Pina TULFO mo na, ayaw ka ng balikan pa. Divorce is a LEGAL WAY of MOVING ON

YESTODIVORCE

Divorce amputa. Dapat di sila nagpakasal. Lubusin mo na sabay mo na yung PRO ABORTION hinayupak ka! 😁

Case to case basis poh siguro...since my husband came from a broken family he too dont want a broken family...mejo mahirap sbhin na yes or no..since me mga batang involve...mas mabuti na kilalanin ung mppangasawa bago mgpakasal since sa ating mga Pilipino sagrado ang kasal...

The union of Partnership should be unbreakable. Instead of making the separation becomes a law. Let's unite and make a Bill to settle whatever problem inside the their relationship. Lahat ng bagay nadadala sa maayos na usapan, hindi agad agad - Hiwalayan.

In my own opinion, NO. If ever lumabas man ang kademonyohan ng asawa mo, kasuhan mo kung abusado, kung annoyance yan pagpasensyahan mo at tanggapin ang ugali. Hindi yung divorce agad para makalandi na sa iba. I FOCUS ang oras sa pag kalinga sa mga anak. Magtiwala sa Diyos.

Technically it's not pro children or pro family. But we need to have Divorce in the Philippines to have an option,if the marriage can't be fix anymore. And I think before they grant you divorce they will give the couple a marriage counselor.

No just being realistic and move on with each lives dont wait till you get killed or kill somone by misunderstang that cannot be resolve.

I know that Jesus said that Divorce can also lead to Adultery this is what I know from reading the Bible

About time paki ASAP

DZMMTeleRadyo dapat lang ipatupad ang Divorce. Bago mauwi sa sakitan lalong kawawa ang mga bata. Pag ayaw ng Divorce ano pa un annulment hindi ba pareho lang mag kahiwalay din.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Minsan ilang taon lilipas bago nyo mrrealize na hindi na tlaga kau healthy as a couple. Ok naman sa umpisa but people change. Minsan nkakasira na ng pagkatao. Hanggang mutual understanding nlng“tama na” kasi mahal at matagal ang annulment.Pero pano kau mgmmove on? ProDivorceBill

Haha

baka may solon na magsuggest ng ganito: 'para happy lahat, lagyan na lang ng expiration date ang marriage contract! renewable after 3 years kung gusto!' ... tutal umuulan ngayon ng mga kakaibang suggestions sa mga problema ng pilipinas.

Wrong generalization. How can you take marriage and family seriously if you have the option to dissolve rather than work it out? Trial and error ba? However, divorce gives the abused freedom and protection from the abuser.

If this will push through, dadami lang ang kasal na ndi pinag isipan anyway they can file for divorce if they want to.

For me its a no.. opinion ko lang to.. at the first place bakit kayo nagpakasal kung maghihiwalay kayo.. pag nasa ibatas to madali magpakasal at madali na lang din maghiwalay parang nawala yung meaning ng marriage.kaya pls bago kayo magpakasal dapat kilalanin nyo muna

This does not apply to some cases.

it depends case to case

I agree to this. Kasi when you are a good parent, you are a good parent, even if you are not living together with your co-parent. I can attest to this, growing up in a family who wishes divorce was an option.

Ano sunod🤦‍♀️

NO.

Lets get real Divorce is NOT pro-family nor pro-children. Only few children can understand and accept most suffer and manifest negative effects growing up. Its better to promote marriage counselling and responsible parenthood than Divorce.

Yes!

Polygamy nalang para walang iwanan WalangIwanan bagets

Hindi nman iyan para s mga matatatag ang pagssama at msayang pamilya, para iyan s ikatatahimik ng mapang abusong pagssama at magulong pamilya. Wag nilang itulad ang msayang pamilya nila s iba. Case to case yan. Kaya nga ang mag aavail ung may ganyang kaso.

No to divorce! Wag kayong pakasal kung di kayo sigurado. Karamihan kasi ma inlove lang ng konti kasalan na. Mga di nag iisip ng mabuti kung ano yung papasukan e. Pag nabwisit ayan hiwalayan na.

DZMMTeleRadyo No its not. Children from broken families are more likely to do crimes in Adulthood.

Yeah. Not all families can be 'fixed' with a simple prayer and counseling. Wag niyo na hintayin na magkasakitan pa yung mag asawa. And please know how damaging it is for a child to watch their parents argue or fight. Everyone deserves a new start.
