It is bound to be another one contentious bill, but let me just say that I myself is in favor of the bill. (It’s) very difficult to let the people who cannot continue to live together.
I have concluded upon reading different reactions from people that divorce is an accepted form of freedom in the Philippines. The Gabriela party has proposed that this bill should be pro-choice not obliged to those who are unhappily married. It is indeed very difficult to continue to live together in an unhappy marriage. When having an unhappy marriage, the couple is clearly forced to be with each other and in the moment of lack of love and toleration, there is the presence of divorce. Divorce is such as strong statement, it legally and permanently breaks the bonds of a couple. It is a choice given to human beings as to which is makes human beings more free and problem-free.
The divorce bill is expected to attract stiff opposition from the ultra-conservative members of the Catholic Church, perhaps as vociferous as their criticism of the Reproductive Health Bill.
Saranggani Rep. Manny Pacquiao has taken a conservative stand on both bills, echoing the sentiments of the Catholic bishops. So far, only the Vatican City and the Philippines are left in the list of states that disallow or prohibit divorce. A third one, Malta, removed itself from the list after citizens voted for divorce in a referendum.
The House Speaker’s public statement of support for the divorce bill should result in speedy proceedings and serve as a signal to the Members of Congress he leads.
Manny Pacquiao is opposed of the bills that are proposed against the beliefs of the Catholic Church. A lot of Filipinos are still opposed especially those who are very conservative and very much against going against the beliefs of the Catholic Church. As discussed in my previous post, the Philippines is known to be a very God loving country, and this truly affects the overall decision of the Church and of the congress. This makes it harder to legalize divorce because a lot of people are truly against the fact of going against marriage. Divorce is meant to be a choice for couples who are going through a tough marriage and who are keeping up a tough exterior but in reality, they are very weak and they have very strong sentiments against their own marriage. This will make it harder for those who have kids, though. Their lives will be more complicated and this will make them more rebellious and more angry. This will ruin a married life, and will ruin the lives of the people involved. Divorce can either make you or break you. It can break you in a way that it can manipulate you into getting a divorce with your spouse or it can make you by giving you a new life to live, starting from scratch.
Divorce should be implemented in the Philippines, but there has to be limitations.
