I am pro-absolute divorce. To justify that divorce will decrease the morality of men, lessen the concept of family as an inviolable social institution, that is the biggest b.s.

If anything divorce will increase the morals and cement the basic unit of our society, for one thing, children will finally realize that all women have the right NOT to become battered-abused moms,that they can leave an unhealthy relationships. Children will know that EVERYBODY HAS A CHOICE, and each choices made has its corresponding consequences. It will teach children to have a BACK BONE. To be responsible for their actions. Who doesn’t want to be loved? to belong to a happy complete family? Citizens of other countries around the world have these in mind, why can’t we?

Let the Filipino people have the option to choose; either to stay and endure the tentacles of bad marriage or the freedom to live and start afresh.

I absolutely agree with the above and you can read my comments earlier in May 2011. The people of Malta voted to introduce divorce there and the Philippines is now the only country in the world without divorce laws. Women need their freedom from sexually promiscious husbands, violence and abuse and the only party is the Gabriela women’s party who have made attempts to try and enact this in congress. It’s time congress and members of the Catholic church “woke up smelt the coffee” and stopped suppressing the Filipino people. In fact, why doesn’t the Philippines have a referendem on introducing divorce like what Malta did in May 2011? I stand by this and I am male!

i really like what you posted here… your right.. Catholic Bishops don’t have any idea about the suffering thing of an unsuccessful married life.. Because they themselves never experienced to be a husband, to have their family of their own. To be in a miserable situation. Breakfast-murahin ka, lunch- sipain ka, Dinner- suntukin ka bugbog sarado na. still magtitiis pa.. haizzz ka epalan tlga.. and your really right, pray only to our God Father in heaven, in him only should we confess all of our sins.. Directly to HIM…

Let’s face it, the Philippines government isn’t at all concerned about the “sanctity” of marriage! they just want the money that annulment generates.

When a Filipino male beats his wife and abuses her and the children, threatens them with grave bodily harm, has sex with a women outside of the marriage covenant, then it’s simply and absolutely time for the woman to divorce the monster!
Don’t let this so-called family code there, fool you into thinking otherwise.

Marriage is an institute beautifully created by God in Heaven, to be between “one man” and “one woman”. God doesn’t like divorce, but He said to Moses, that if the Husband or Wife shall commit adultery, they should be given a writing of divorcement.

Understand that the catholic church there receive ” kick-backs” from the revenue gained from people paying for expensive annulments! They’re not wanting to give that money up! That’s the reason for their opposition to divorce! If the catholic church were really so concerned about morals and values contained in God’s Holy Word, they would look at “adultery” more closely, and get off of their high-horse about upholding the sanctity!

There can only be true sanctity of marriage, when two people are truly committed to one another, and retain their vows of forsaking all others.

That means that you only have sexual intercourse with the person you’re married to. It’s that simple! If the Husband or the Wife has sex with anyone else, then that completely dissolves the “Sanctity” of marriage. Adultery destroys the sanctity!
Divorce IS the answer to this overwhelming, and ridiculous problem in the Philippines.
When someone in a governmental capacity, has the moral backbone to step up to the plate and say we as Filipinos deserve this change, the Philippines will have a new breathe of life! Someone in that capacity of lawmakers has to stand up boldly. Let go of that old tradition of the self-righteous catholic church has tried to instill, and brainwash people to think.

Put your faith in Almighty God and His Son Jesus The Christ!
No more going to a confession and telling some man what’s going on with you.
Pray directly to the Son Of God Jesus Christ. Pray for the divorce bill in the Philippines!

against devorce ako.

why? dahil ito na talaga ang time na dapat nyong maintindihan na hindi laro ang pagdedesisyong mag-asawa.. then if your marriage did not work, you had to fix it.., not by means of divorce..,
may kasabihan narin na ang pagaasawa ay hindi basta lang pagkain na kapag napaso ka ay iluluwa mo..,

there’s a lot of chances to find your perfect life partner, deal with it take that chance.., and if you choose the wrong one., it doens’t mean your marriage will really not work.., so try harder.., nothing is impossible.., maawa kayo sa bata.

lahat ng nangyayari ay may dahilan.., lahat ng nangyayari sa buhay ng bawat isa ay dahil iyon sa desisyon nila.., kaya walang dapat sisishin..,
Ang diovoce sa pinag-uusapan ng karamihang nagkamali sa pag-aasawa ay dapat gumawa ng paraan.., pero tanong ko lang.., ba”t ka pumayag na magpakasal sa asawa mo? at may nabuong anak kung wala ka ngang nararamdaman para sa kanya…,
bakit ayaw nyung bigyang ng chance aNG SARILI NYUNG MAGMAHAL ULIT SA ASAWA N YU? BAKIT SYA ANG NAPILI MO PARA SA HABANG BUHAY NA MAKAKASAMA KUNG ALAM MO NAMAN PALANG .., HE/SHE doesn’t deserve your love? bakit kailangan pang magkasakitan kung ang totoo naman pala ay meron pang something dyan?

walang impossible sa tinatawag na “falling in’love with your wife/ husband” for a 2nd chance cupid was there to the rescue..

I’m a pro Divorce.. because i myself came from unsuccessful married life. He asked me to marry him because i was pregnant that time..I know it was my fault, our fault, ngng mapusok kme..We tried to work things out, i want a happy intact family coz i came from a broken one so i don’t want my child to experience what i have been through.. but, maybe even how hard you try, how much you sacrifice, if it wont work and things between you and your mate are getting worst and your just the only one fighting for it, do you think it will succeed? of course NOT.. there’s always a period for everything.. And we deserve a second chance, someone who will love and care for us, who will fight for us, we deserve to be happy! to have a happy intact family.. WE never dreamed to ruin our married life,we definitely tried our best but still we failed.. so we’ll just stay with that situation forever?! No Way..what about our children?! they have the right to live peacefully and happily..we’ll take it for granted because of the sacredness of marriage?! even if everyday feels like hell?! God knows everything, and he is so good. He understands.. and give chances!!!
Annulment is so expensive, stressful, complicated and takes so much time. Not all can avail of that, i pity those who wants their freedom those who wants to start again happily but cannot because they are financially ill…
To all anti- Divorce, good for all of you, you didn’t experience what we are going through right now.
