While I do believe that marriage should be a lifelong commitment, sometimes things don't always work out. Some marriages were arranged by family members for the purpose of wealth instead of love. Sometimes there is abuse in the home (not just from the husband, because a wife can also be abusive), and you have to think about your safety and the safety of any children you happened to have. Unfortunately, counseling doesn't always work, and some people never change from their old ways. You shouldn't have to spend your life suffering because your partner doesn't want to change. Marriage should be a partnership. If someone isn't doing their part you both suffer from a lifetime of unhappiness and regret.
there is legal separation law in the Philippines...Only Divorce is illegal.... The difference is, in Legal Separation, the couples can separate houses and property, but they can't remarry....In Divorce, there is total dissolution of marriage and so they can Remarry again...
The philippines doesnt practice arranged marriages and you can always leave your abusive partner.. The lesson is think really really hard before deciding to marry a person. I hope your country has a high percentage of families that are together. In the Philippines people are family oriented and both moms and dad are important. Its actually very equal here with comes to marriage. And yes abusive spous do exist but your abusive partner will still abuse you with or without divorce we dont focus on the small numbers of cases when strict marriage law does work in this country. In countries where marriage can be easily nullify. People do change partner as like how they change clothes and abusing partners still exists.
marvioxious1989 not all families need a mother or father. Many families do good without one. My mother's divorce of my father has been the best choice she's ever made. Your argument is flawed. If you can still be abused even if you are divorced then what is the point? The point is that it is a step to forever getting away from your abuser.
My country's culture is obsessed with religion. So much so, that these sects and cults have leverage with conservative politicians who are also members of some churches.
@play store gameslol don't talk like islam is so much better. I don't see a fucking single human right being respected in arab peninsula iran pakistan and most of north africa.
@play store games yes and look at the world, europe americas and Australia/ New Zealand along with japan. They are basically the most developed countries in he world
@play store games saudi arabia qatar kuwait and UAE literally use fucking slaves for building their stupid cities. Look for example at Qatar 2022 stadium, more than 6000 nepalese /indians died in building these shits. Malaysia Morocco and Tunisia are the ones who are clearly becoming better, rich but sustainable and with human rights.
so much drama, YOUR BEING FORCED BRED. unlike other countries who have moved forward and found other reasons for their existence. Philippines is at the stage of human civilization that needs a large population to build cities and breed out the best traits. so much drama as always and for the wrong reasons.
@play store games not really, philippines is a secular country, the reason why human rights isn't well developed here is because of the huge influence of religion.
Is it not ironic? Spain brought Catholicism in the Philippines, leaving 86% Filipino Catholics yet Spain, now having only 68% Catholics in which the majority are non-practicing ones. p.s., Spain taught Filipinos that being “brown” is ugly. Now, the Philippines has the longest aisles for whitening products.
+It Is Well Colonialism sure got to them philippinese people lol. Here in Bangladesh we still maintain the colonial British system of law,however we cancelled out all the other aspects of British colonialism.
Ahahaahha also in Spain apparently being "tan" is "in". I follow several spanish fashion bloggers on instagram, and their all tan. Like, seriously tan. Like borderline burned skin 😂
@Swovon the most Wise people are poor...Epictetus, Confucius, publius syrus....So??.... Funny even those so called Progressive City people would rather want to stay in the province where people are much nicer and life is more simple than the Stressful City life...LOL...
@Lawrence Ryan Calva yeah hoping for better lives...and then when they retire...they retire in the province...not in the city...this has always been the Norm since Roman times and ancient times...It's no wonder the great Poet Virgil dedicated his "The Eclogues" to the Rural province of Rome rather than the Roman city....Because life in the province is simple and nicer...
@Lawrence Ryan Calva yeah right ..Look at the Expats form USA...they go where?? in Pampanga or in provinces and settle there.... They don't settle in First world City...because city sucks... Deny it all you want....People are nicer in Rural areas...PEople are more evil in Cities...It's no wonder people have more stressful life in Cities..
divorce doesn't equate to "advancement". in the end, every Filipino... EVERY PERSON in the world, have to make an important decision... am i gonna marry this person? do i really know this person that i choose?

Im from Philippines, one of my classmates' mother had died when she was young. the Father wants to remarry again and and my classmate allows it because the woman is great sadly the woman cant be her new mom because of the law here, the fathers marriage is still tied to the first woman he married.
There is no legal issue in the Philippine constitution or the Catholic canon with regards remarrying after death. My dad died when we were young and everyone in the family was encouraging her to remarry because it is hard to live and work as a single mother in the Philippines. She was the one who loved my dad so much she chose not to date again.
please be empathetic to everyone who have experienced bad things after marriage as you don't feel what they felt during these situations. This is a free country where you have freedom of speech but please don't forget your moral values to be sensitive enough to our fellow Filipinos who suffered so much with their marriage.
Jazz Mina so we consider that marriages always end up in bad experiences? Lol The Philippines has occational cases of those but its not very common. Kaya ang mga pinoy against ra divorce kasi kung di mo pansin sa mga bansa na legal at easy ang divorce,nawawalan ng halaga ang kasal kasi parang ang dali naman ecancel. Pinoys are family oriented. Ang ok if mas easy ang annulment but no to divorse.
No one is forcing anyone into divorce. If people want to stay married, they’ll stay married. If it wasn’t meant to be, then they’ll choose to legally separate or divorce. Simple
It's 21st century and the Filipino govt still can't get red of the influence of the Catholic church where as the English monarchs got a strong hold on the churches influences and broke away from the Vatican 500 years ago
I don't know much about the Philippines, but as an outsider, it always seemed to me like they were stuck in a bad place the way Christianity infused into society.
Why are you all just blaming it into the church, it's true it has its own bad side but it also has its own good side. Why don't you also blame how we were colonize for three times and were weak and foolish enough to be used? That we have corrupt and foolish goverment, and a lot of uneducated people? Blaming it only because of the church is just too stupid.
5:42 Are we behind the times, or are we holding on to what is right? Yeah, right. Says the man who never married and never been in an abusive relationship. Yeah. Also, how has abusive relationships with perpetual suffering to all parties directly affected those who oppose divorce? If you don't want divorce, don't get it.
It's the couple's fault for marrying. They made their vows and they must stand on that marriage. They should never marry at first place if the woman does not know the man well because making life decision based on emotion with lack of rationality was always dangerous. Now that the marriage was done, there's no turning back and she must keep moving forward.
@@muhiddeny.misbak542 You don't even know if the woman or man married wholeheartedly some of us are literally forced to be married. Also, some people change in the span of their marriage.
In marriage vows in the Philippines, you would hear the priest say "babae magpasailalim ka sa iyong asawa" which means "woman be subordinate to your spouse" and I think that already says a lot.
my parents are married but separated. both of them are Christians who value their believes, there was no third party or sexual and physical abuse, its just they aren't ready for the commitments that comes after marriage so things between them got messy. I'm glad they didn't divorce, because that's the only thing that connected us to our mother and father. my family and the people around us still value our Christian believes, and I'm thankful for that.
When I was a child, 12 years old, in 1981, divorce was legalized in my country, Spain . Now, nobody, including Spanish Catholic Church, think about unlegalizing divorce. If the Filipinas legalizes divorce now, nobody, including Filipino Catholic Church, will think about unlegalizing divorce by 2022 or so.
Suicide rates dont dictate happiness. So if there is a certain number of people dying each day does that mean thats how many murders take place? Wrong. You aren't taking into account the other factors.
You missed the point. Im saying that you should look at all the factors and not sweep it under the rug by saying "Oh were oh-so-happy suicide rates blahblahblah"
prohibiting divorce has nothing to do with murder...In fact, there is more probability that children of Divorce will be prone to Depression and drugs and Violence and suicide....And we have psychological statistics of that...so your argument is actually going against you....
"They can leave their husband, because there is also legal separation. You can leave legally but don't get married again, because you made yourself a promise." Very well said.

laws shouldn't even be based off of religious statements in the first place, imho, religious people shouldn't have a place in the government since their religious beliefs cloud their lawful judgment. in times like these, i really miss former senator, Miriam Defensor-Santiago.

MAGTATAKSIL! KAYA NO TO DIVORCE!
My parents always tell that when it comes to marriage, think about the family, not "yourself". We separated with my father for nearly 3 years. My mother and my siblings went to my grandmother's house due to the cool off. Years later, we finally decided to live together and became a happy family. God has plans for you, you just need to do the right actions. Wag mo Lang pangunahan.
If it can have negative impacts on your children’s mental health then staying is not an option anymore. At this point it shouldn’t be about keeping the “family together” anymore if you can still call it that since it’s already been broken from the start. Not every story is the same as yours so i think you shouldn’t really have a say in it and just let everyone have the free will to decide what’s best for them.
Church doesn't want divorce because they rather keep the ANNULMENT option. Why? because ANNULMENT IS WAY MORE EXPENSIVE! that's the truth, it's all about money and it's a hard pill to swallow for the so called Catholic country like the Philippines. My aunt filed an annulment case because her ex husband was cheating from day one and he spent all their money on bad habits like drugs and alcohol. They had one child and he had special needs. By the end of the annulment, most of my aunt's lifetime bank account savings was wasted on the annulment case. It took 15 years and almost 1 million pesos. That money could've been spent on their child who had special needs. He eventually died because his parents couldn't afford his medical needs anymore. You may ask me, "why did she want the annulment so desperately?" because her husband was holding her back. My aunt is an OFW. Her ex husband was making all kinds of threats against her like "he would take their son away when she's working abroad, he would sell all of their properties because it's a conjugal property." And a lot more. Bottom line, she needed to get out of the marriage LEGALLY. So really though, not having a divorce is a burden to the Filipino families. Divorce being illegal is not stopping the Filipino families from separating. It's not stopping people from cheating. It's not stopping people from making children out of wedlock. Google the statistics. 63% of the children in Manila are ILLEGITIMATE and it's more than 50% for the overall population of the Philippines. To top it all off, the Philippines is leading the teenage pregnancy in Asia. AGE OF CONSENT in the Philippines is only 12 YEARS OLD. Let me say it again, TWELVE YEARS OLD. What can the church say about that? uh......... nothing!

Marriage is just like signing a contract. If you don't know how to read carefully and discern your choice properly, then you should expect a miserable deal, just like marriage.
Hold on...here in Philippines, divorce is illegal but they can be separated whomever he/ she . but they can't be married again...In the eyes of a church and a promise to God..he / she didnt only one who vowed, both. Nonetheless if you get a chance to have a marriage..just think wisely and expect the unexpected...
As a "Cano", western guy, I was surprised in a negative way how many women were separated/legally separated and could not get a serious new relation and future because of not able to divorce. Also the fact that an annulment was hard to do. Both parties have to agree for that (and pinoy have a silly pride not to accept the wishes of their legal wives. They prefer to fool around). Next to the crazy costs to get an annulment and the time it takes (400k plus 4 to 5 years). All determined by huge influence by the Catholic church.....all single persons who have no experiences in relationships like marriage.
Kung tunay kang kristiyanong buo (100%), dapat sundin mo ng buo ang utos ni Kristo; MARCOS 10:2-9 “May ilang Pariseong gustong subukin si Jesus; kaya't lumapit sila at nagtanong, “Naaayon po ba sa Kautusan na hiwalayan ng lalaki ang kanyang asawa?” Sumagot siya, “Ano ba ang utos ni Moises sa inyo?” Sumagot naman sila, “Ipinahintulot po ni Moises na ang lalaki ay gumawa ng kasulatan ng paghihiwalay bago niya hiwalayan at palayasin ang kanyang asawa.” Ngunit sinabi ni Jesus, “Ginawa ni Moises ang utos na iyon dahil sa katigasan ng inyong ulo. Subalit simula pa nang likhain ng Diyos ang sanlibutan, nilalang niya ang tao na lalaki at babae. ‘Dahil dito'y iiwan ng lalaki ang kanyang ama at ina, [magsasama sila ng kanyang asawa] at ang dalawa'y magiging isa.’ Hindi na sila dalawa kundi isa. Ang pinagsama ng Diyos ay huwag paghiwalayin ng tao.”
happymoments Christianity never said anything that priest can't marry but the Church just made those rules that prevent them from doing it in the first place.
The Church put that rule in because priests were handing off churches and monasteries to their children. It was a move to disincentive the biggest source of corruption: the urge to support one's own biology legacy.
Logical Arguement for that Priests are following Jesus. Jesus died with no spouse. To be like our Lord, you must live like our Lord. Hence, the Catholic priests cannot marry.
I’m a Filipino and even my devout Catholic parents think that the Catholic Church is preventing the Philippines from developing and holding it back 🤦🏽♂️ The Church needs to stop running it’s nose in everyone’s business as the Philippines is a secular state by law. Hay nako

Divorce should be legal. The church should not impose thier belief to people who dont share their religion thats just not right if you personally think divorce is wrong then dont participate but dont stop other people from making that choice. Only dictators do that. There is nothing wrong with falling out of love from your partner its natural and its normal. The church would rather that couple stay unhappy together instead of them moving and starting a new. Religion is absolute poison
ILhaam Oz What are you talking about? There are literally families out there that live in separate homes because of abuse even if they are legally married. Is that not a "solution?" Or because it's not the solution YOU'RE looking for that it's not an acceptable one? I already know what you're going to say next, but go ahead and say it anyways.
I dont why they made the divorce illegal in my country but imagine the people who suffers violence in their relationship, imagine how would the kid react or feel if he/she saw them fight every day... Poor them... May Lord God help them pls 😢😢😢... I know that were too religious but this is not right 😭😭😭

Divorce must be legal under some circumstances ...as this lady said she was willing to kill her husband or kill herself because of the abuse...so what crazy man think it's not better to divorce
As of now, an annulment is the best option for Filipinos to end their marriages. An annulment invalidates a marriage because of fraud, impotence, mistaken identity, or being under the legal age to marry. Although Filipino law permits annulments, the legalities are lengthy, pricey, and tedious. If a court grants an annulment, both parties can move forward as if never married, leaving each person free to remarry. The marriage, in essence, never existed under an annulment. CTTRO
By legalising divorce, you're teaching people not to think twice before marrying. No to divorce. I think, what we need is for the government to lead its people to be peaceful, loving and faithful family and community and not separate families.
Yes para ok lng na Makita Ng bata na nag aaway Ang parents nya kase health un para sa bata and dpt iendure dn ng naabuso ang pananakit ng asawa Kaya no to divorce Tayo. Diba?
It's amazing that the fact that I grew up still in a country, where I didn't even knew until now that divorce was illegal because of the Catholic church, I never or didn't knew that it was illegal. It would be nice and definitely better for the benefit of the people if divorce was legalized, imagine some crime and social issues slowly falling down but surely. Good thing my mom and pa didn't marry or else they would have a struggle with the type of "divorce" system, damn
Only education can save us from collapse. No more organised religion. More resilient brains, willing to think deeply about things: relate and understand different concepts, arbitrariness of definitions etc.
Krishyy Fan Why are you shutting him up? He is clearly correct about what he's saying. If one improves their lives by working hard and getting a good education thus poverty rates will decrease, thus early teenage birth rates will also decrease, as well as crime rates!

I'm a married Filipino but I do believe that Divorce should be legalized. The greatest wall in here is the Catholic Church which makes business out of naive people. I agree on divorce BUT only with specific grounds like domestic violence, adultery and child abuse. The one who committed the said acts should also compensate the other half financially so as to prevent married couple from filing divorce just because of petty reasons esp. when they have kids.

MARK 10:2-9 “Some Pharisees came to him and tried to trap him. “Tell us,” they asked, “does our Law allow a man to divorce his wife?” Jesus answered with a question, “What law did Moses give you?” Their answer was, “Moses gave permission for a man to write a divorce notice and send his wife away.” Jesus said to them, “Moses wrote this law for you because you are so hard to teach. But in the beginning, at the time of creation, ‘God made them male and female,’ as the scripture says. ‘And for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and unite with his wife, and the two will become one.’ So they are no longer two, but one. No human being then must separate what God has joined together.”
I think our country should allow divorce only to those who are undergoing domestic violence, if not separated. After all, the society is composed of a family, not broken families
Step 1: cut the stronghold influence of the Church in the country Step 2: pass bills that impose laws on allowing divorce, abortion, easy access to contraception, legalize gay marriage and other tabooed bills stopped by the Church Let's see how the country adjusts to these changes
It's not about copying, duhhh, how naive can you be. It's only to give people more choices given their status as a citizen. It's about being practical and inclusive of other groups of people. But, oh well, stay delusional and traditional for all I care.

i have an uncle in the Philippines who is separated from his wife, and i asked my mom if they divorced and they said divorce doesn’t exist there lol. I’m pretty sure theyre no longer living together, probably never see each other, but their no divorce. Kind of an awkward situation
The catholic church acknowledges that some marriages are bad, and allows marriages to be annulled (divorce is with the gov, annulment is the divorce of the church basically) if the marriage is unhealthy, if a partner cheats, or if they are forced into the marriage

It's frustrating to hear the reasons of these so called priests on why they don't want divorce to be implemented... 😖 I honestly think that it will benefit a lot of families out there if it were to really become a law...
Many politicians are against divorce because many of these crocs have lots of mistresses. Divorce granted will have a financial cost for these greedy creatures.
If people have the right to form a marriage for their own benefit they have every right to terminate it if it does not work for them. That is the the start and end of it.
This is one of the most frustrating things about trying to pushing more progressive legislations in my country. I also find PD's stance on divorce pretty ironic. Just look it up

I am Catholic but I definitely believe in divorce. All the counties except the Philippines has divorce. Even the country who spread Christianity in the Philippines has divorce. There are some aspects that people do not fully understand. With the divorce are laws where properties are distributed equally between spouses. Laws giving Alimony to the spouse so he or she doesn’t get hungry if he or she is not self sufficient at the time of the divorce and laws requring child support to guarantee children are taken care of. When physical and verbal abuse is present in a relationship and all recourse has been explored to na avail. Divorce is justified. The separation of the church and the state should be respected by the church and should not meddle with its creation and implementation of state laws.
Doesn't matter the religion, but it should be wholly seperated from state affairs. Lives are at stake, and blind meddling will no doubt lead to uneccessary losses.
The catholic church’s massive tolerance of a patriarchal society is one of the reasons I stopped going to church. This is why the Philippines lags so far behind on being a progressive country. It’s 2018, it’s time to start acknowledging women’s rights/choice
MARCOS 10:2-9 “May ilang Pariseong gustong subukin si Jesus; kaya't lumapit sila at nagtanong, “Naaayon po ba sa Kautusan na hiwalayan ng lalaki ang kanyang asawa?” Sumagot siya, “Ano ba ang utos ni Moises sa inyo?” Sumagot naman sila, “Ipinahintulot po ni Moises na ang lalaki ay gumawa ng kasulatan ng paghihiwalay bago niya hiwalayan at palayasin ang kanyang asawa.” Ngunit sinabi ni Jesus, “Ginawa ni Moises ang utos na iyon dahil sa katigasan ng inyong ulo.

Ang pinagsama ng Diyos ay huwag paghiwalayin ng tao.”
I believe the lawyer lobby is behind this. Annulment is already a huge industry here and out of reach of many ordinary Filipinos. Divorce will just take the same route.
I'm a young Filipino who comes from a Catholic family and I am starting to believe the (Catholic) religious authorities here just disagree with the government just for the sake of doing or saying something. Blocking the rights of men and women to get out of a marriage that turned into an unexpected mess makes a lifelong prison. The priests would only say it's the responsibility of the future wives and husbands to choose their future spouses very carefully but they truly do not understand the picture. Shame.
"You can leave your husbands but you're not allowed to get married again". Marriage is a decision. If you're a devoted Catholic, you will understand. If you have failed marriages just don't blame the church. It's takes two to tango.
"in good times and in bad, in and in " my ass, you're literally getting degraded, beaten, abused, and you're telling me it's all just "in bad times"? FFS that's an understatement to how hard it is to actually experience abuse.
Catholicism,as an institution, can blindly encourage people to do things in contrast with what MUST be done. Philippines is plagued with Catholicism in the sense that it has impacted people with thoughts which contradict laws.
Lawrence Ryan Calva exactly. It has been rooted in traditions as well. It could perhaps be said that catholicism could compromise a HUGE amount of philippine culture.
This is honestly ridiculous. The Bible even says that a woman can divorce and remarry if her husband abuses and cheats on her and vice versa. This is against Biblical teaching.
I am from the Philippines. I don't mind people getting a divorce when they want but for me, if I ever get married, I don't ever want to be divorced. It's just me upholding my vows. This requires me to be very careful about who I choose as a husband though. Just don't get married if you can't see yourself being with that person no matter what. I believe marriage is more than just love, there must be commitment. Commitment keeps the marriage last more than love. I know people fall out of love sometimes but if you have said your vows, you should live upon them.
Pero ate, di ka po sure kahit na ilang taon ka pa mag-plan if mananatiling ganun ang ugali ng papakasalan mo. People change po. You can't expect someone to live through those vows kung pinag-dishonor na ng tao whom you shared the same vows with. Still, I hope na hindi yun mangyari sayo and have a good family. God bless po.
Philippines is one of the worst when it comes to alot of things.. nearly all of them are all talk but with no action to back it up, and while other countries are advancing forward. They on the other hand is stuck on a weird stage that they're holding onto for some reason and it's not really giving them any benefit. Also the problem with them isn't just the government and corruption, but the culture and religion that gets in the way of progress and how it bullies on the state to get what it wants, while the people are too stupid to show any type of change. It's why the country and the culture is one of my most hated. When put in a list.
True, sadly. What's ironically worse is that this culture and religion aren't even ours to begin with! They're from our colonizers and visitors. That's a new level of shame.
Compare the Suicide rate Ranking of your country and the Philippines...Let us see who is really sh@t culture and who is more miserable and who is Happier... =)
Krishyy Fan the republic of the Philippines would still be lower than the country where I'm at. And those to where I've been.. and I've never seen a truly happy person living in the Philippines.. it's either sad or problems about money, food or just wanting attention and pity
Well this is what happen when you let religion get involved with politics. Religion and Politics should not blend in together. They are two separate things.
If Divorce many will not take Marriage seriously. It would be like a pre marital relationship that people can come and go anytime you want. It's not the solution. Those who support divorce like what Pia says " Messenger of the Demon", what else do you call it? Whether in an abusive relationship or not, Divorce must not be allowed, because God says so! The couple can be separated, but they cannot remarry as long one of them is still alive. The problem is that they want Divorce, because couples want to be remarried.
So people who want to get out of a marriage which has been toxic and hurting them are also "sinful" eh?? Its not a matter of sin this and sin that. Its about being human
It is not about religion but the very sanctity of marriage solemnized either by the church or state is highly regarded in the Philippine constitution. To legalize divorce would mean charter change will have to be in effect, which of course could still take a very long while.
The bishop is right " Ang aral Ng Simbahan ay Aral ni Jesus". The Church is only a messenger or a protector of the word of God, it does not have the right to change anything.
Divorce is and will always be a taboo topic to alot of people. Some people would rather see domestic violence than ruin the "sanctity of marriage"
Yes, nakakalungkot. Domestic violence in itself ruins a family
Yes very true. Happens with my parents every day.
Just get an annulment

@@edelynredola8379 even legal separation is not possible
While I do believe that marriage should be a lifelong commitment, sometimes things don't always work out. Some marriages were arranged by family members for the purpose of wealth instead of love. Sometimes there is abuse in the home (not just from the husband, because a wife can also be abusive), and you have to think about your safety and the safety of any children you happened to have. Unfortunately, counseling doesn't always work, and some people never change from their old ways. You shouldn't have to spend your life suffering because your partner doesn't want to change. Marriage should be a partnership. If someone isn't doing their part you both suffer from a lifetime of unhappiness and regret.
there is legal separation law in the Philippines...Only Divorce is illegal.... The difference is, in Legal Separation, the couples can separate houses and property, but they can't remarry....In Divorce, there is total dissolution of marriage and so they can Remarry again...
Princess Ama divorce doesnt make women safe from men.
Princess Ama yeah " SOMETIMES" .
The philippines doesnt practice arranged marriages and you can always leave your abusive partner.. The lesson is think really really hard before deciding to marry a person. I hope your country has a high percentage of families that are together. In the Philippines people are family oriented and both moms and dad are important. Its actually very equal here with comes to marriage. And yes abusive spous do exist but your abusive partner will still abuse you with or without divorce we dont focus on the small numbers of cases when strict marriage law does work in this country. In countries where marriage can be easily nullify. People do change partner as like how they change clothes and abusing partners still exists.
marvioxious1989 not all families need a mother or father. Many families do good without one. My mother's divorce of my father has been the best choice she's ever made. Your argument is flawed. If you can still be abused even if you are divorced then what is the point? The point is that it is a step to forever getting away from your abuser.
My country's culture is obsessed with religion. So much so, that these sects and cults have leverage with conservative politicians who are also members of some churches.

so much drama, YOUR BEING FORCED BRED. unlike other countries who have moved forward and found other reasons for their existence. Philippines is at the stage of human civilization that needs a large population to build cities and breed out the best traits.
so much drama as always and for the wrong reasons.
@play store games not really, philippines is a secular country, the reason why human rights isn't well developed here is because of the huge influence of religion.

Spain brought Catholicism in the Philippines, leaving 86% Filipino Catholics yet Spain, now having only 68% Catholics in which the majority are non-practicing ones.

They're also infused into the government also, sadly. That's why it took us so long to get to this point in divorce.
Why are you all just blaming it into the church, it's true it has its own bad side but it also has its own good side.

Also, how has abusive relationships with perpetual suffering to all parties directly affected those who oppose divorce? If you don't want divorce, don't get it.
It's the couple's fault for marrying. They made their vows and they must stand on that marriage. They should never marry at first place if the woman does not know the man well because making life decision based on emotion with lack of rationality was always dangerous. Now that the marriage was done, there's no turning back and she must keep moving forward.

@@k-studio8112 ban divorce . Divorce is against Hinduism.
my parents are married but separated. both of them are Christians who value their believes, there was no third party or sexual and physical abuse, its just they aren't ready for the commitments that comes after marriage so things between them got messy. I'm glad they didn't divorce, because that's the only thing that connected us to our mother and father. my family and the people around us still value our Christian believes, and I'm thankful for that.
When I was a child, 12 years old, in 1981, divorce was legalized in my country, Spain . Now, nobody, including Spanish Catholic Church, think about unlegalizing divorce.

Wrong.
You aren't taking into account the other factors.

You missed the point. Im saying that you should look at all the factors and not sweep it under the rug by saying "Oh were oh-so-happy suicide rates blahblahblah"
prohibiting divorce has nothing to do with murder...In fact, there is more probability that children of Divorce will be prone to Depression and drugs and Violence and suicide....And we have psychological statistics of that...so your argument is actually going against you....

My parents always tell that when it comes to marriage, think about the family, not "yourself".
We separated with my father for nearly 3 years. My mother and my siblings went to my grandmother's house due to the cool off. Years later, we finally decided to live together and became a happy family.
God has plans for you, you just need to do the right actions. Wag mo Lang pangunahan.
If it can have negative impacts on your children’s mental health then staying is not an option anymore. At this point it shouldn’t be about keeping the “family together” anymore if you can still call it that since it’s already been broken from the start. Not every story is the same as yours so i think you shouldn’t really have a say in it and just let everyone have the free will to decide what’s best for them.

Church doesn't want divorce because they rather keep the ANNULMENT option. Why? because ANNULMENT IS WAY MORE EXPENSIVE! that's the truth, it's all about money and it's a hard pill to swallow for the so called Catholic country like the Philippines.
My aunt filed an annulment case because her ex husband was cheating from day one and he spent all their money on bad habits like drugs and alcohol. They had one child and he had special needs. By the end of the annulment, most of my aunt's lifetime bank account savings was wasted on the annulment case. It took 15 years and almost 1 million pesos. That money could've been spent on their child who had special needs. He eventually died because his parents couldn't afford his medical needs anymore. You may ask me, "why did she want the annulment so desperately?" because her husband was holding her back. My aunt is an OFW. Her ex husband was making all kinds of threats against her like "he would take their son away when she's working abroad, he would sell all of their properties because it's a conjugal property." And a lot more. Bottom line, she needed to get out of the marriage LEGALLY. So really though, not having a divorce is a burden to the Filipino families.

As a "Cano", western guy, I was surprised in a negative way how many women were separated/legally separated and could not get a serious new relation and future because of not able to divorce. Also the fact that an annulment was hard to do. Both parties have to agree for that (and pinoy have a silly pride not to accept the wishes of their legal wives. They prefer to fool around). Next to the crazy costs to get an annulment and the time it takes (400k plus 4 to 5 years). All determined by huge influence by the Catholic church.....all single persons who have no experiences in relationships like marriage.
Churches should not make family decisions. Churches don't feed nor financially support single parent mom's. Nor provide shelter.

Subalit simula pa nang likhain ng Diyos ang sanlibutan, nilalang niya ang tao na lalaki at babae. ‘Dahil dito'y iiwan ng lalaki ang kanyang ama at ina, [magsasama sila ng kanyang asawa] at ang dalawa'y magiging isa.’ Hindi na sila dalawa kundi isa.

Priests are against divorce but they dont even want to marry either. What a shame!
happymoments Christianity never said anything that priest can't marry but the Church just made those rules that prevent them from doing it in the first place.
The Church put that rule in because priests were handing off churches and monasteries to their children. It was a move to disincentive the biggest source of corruption: the urge to support one's own biology legacy.
priests aren't supposed to marry
Logical Arguement for that
Priests are following Jesus.
Jesus died with no spouse.
To be like our Lord, you must live like our Lord.
Hence, the Catholic priests cannot marry.
They are not allowed to.

Divorce should be legal. The church should not impose thier belief to people who dont share their religion thats just not right if you personally think divorce is wrong then dont participate but dont stop other people from making that choice. Only dictators do that.
There is nothing wrong with falling out of love from your partner its natural and its normal. The church would rather that couple stay unhappy together instead of them moving and starting a new.

True

Religion was never made for peace and prosperity. They are made to manipulate people. If religion teaches peace, kindness, blah blah blah to its followers, then how come these people act like this? They act like they were not taught anything. Respect the decision of others. If a religious freak knows someone that doesn’t believe in religion they’ll say some bullshit things about religion to your face. Just like how vegans are both cancer to the society
Kevin 080592 you're not Catholic?
Divorce must be legal under some circumstances ...as this lady said she was willing to kill her husband or kill herself because of the abuse...so what crazy man think it's not better to divorce
As of now, an annulment is the best option for Filipinos to end their marriages. An annulment invalidates a marriage because of fraud, impotence, mistaken identity, or being under the legal age to marry.
Although Filipino law permits annulments, the legalities are lengthy, pricey, and tedious. If a court grants an annulment, both parties can move forward as if never married, leaving each person free to remarry. The marriage, in essence, never existed under an annulment.
CTTRO
By legalising divorce, you're teaching people not to think twice before marrying. No to divorce. I think, what we need is for the government to lead its people to be peaceful, loving and faithful family and community and not separate families.
Yes para ok lng na Makita Ng bata na nag aaway Ang parents nya kase health un para sa bata and dpt iendure dn ng naabuso ang pananakit ng asawa Kaya no to divorce Tayo. Diba?
And support natin ang abusive and toxic relationship dba mga Catholic/christians Kase lahat ng marriage ay perfect Kaya b*tch no to divorce
Government teaching people to be good citizens? That's so unrealistic. You literally sound like a 1st grader. 😂
It's amazing that the fact that I grew up still in a country, where I didn't even knew until now that divorce was illegal because of the Catholic church, I never or didn't knew that it was illegal. It would be nice and definitely better for the benefit of the people if divorce was legalized, imagine some crime and social issues slowly falling down but surely. Good thing my mom and pa didn't marry or else they would have a struggle with the type of "divorce" system, damn
Only education can save us from collapse. No more organised religion. More resilient brains, willing to think deeply about things: relate and understand different concepts, arbitrariness of definitions etc.
LOL...shut up...."Clean your Room." --- Dr. Jordan Peterson
Krishyy Fan Why are you shutting him up? He is clearly correct about what he's saying.
If one improves their lives by working hard and getting a good education thus poverty rates will decrease, thus early teenage birth rates will also decrease, as well as crime rates!
Education lets people realize that the only way to get a good job and earn money and succeed in life is a very strong hard work ethic!

I'm a married Filipino but I do believe that Divorce should be legalized. The greatest wall in here is the Catholic Church which makes business out of naive people. I agree on divorce BUT only with specific grounds like domestic violence, adultery and child abuse. The one who committed the said acts should also compensate the other half financially so as to prevent married couple from filing divorce just because of petty reasons esp. when they have kids.
Your church is like business tbh
@@CCP-Lies In order to file a divorce to your husband or wife instead of committing adultery or making your married life worst. In the Philippines, there's no divorce unless if you're Muslim.

MARK 10:2-9
“Some Pharisees came to him and tried to trap him. “Tell us,” they asked, “does our Law allow a man to divorce his wife?” Jesus answered with a question, “What law did Moses give you?” Their answer was, “Moses gave permission for a man to write a divorce notice and send his wife away.” Jesus said to them, “Moses wrote this law for you because you are so hard to teach. But in the beginning, at the time of creation, ‘God made them male and female,’ as the scripture says. ‘And for this reason a man will leave his father and mother and unite with his wife, and the two will become one.’ So they are no longer two, but one. No human being then must separate what God has joined together.”
@@lukkielderamos7412 better preach those catholic priest that sexually abused the Catholic youth and support corrupt politicians
Legalizing divorce is the same as legalizing prostitution and fraud.
I think our country should allow divorce only to those who are undergoing domestic violence, if not separated. After all, the society is composed of a family, not broken families

True. Religion in the philippines has poisoned the mind of its people.
Step 1: cut the stronghold influence of the Church in the country
Step 2: pass bills that impose laws on allowing divorce, abortion, easy access to contraception, legalize gay marriage and other tabooed bills stopped by the Church
Let's see how the country adjusts to these changes
mar dee yes allow the killing of babies, well allow women to kill babies
It's not about copying, duhhh, how naive can you be. It's only to give people more choices given their status as a citizen. It's about being practical and inclusive of other groups of people. But, oh well, stay delusional and traditional for all I care.
Know the difference about passisng a law giving someone a right to choose and someone passing a law to stifle someone else's right to choose... Guess what Catholicism is between the two...

i have an uncle in the Philippines who is separated from his wife, and i asked my mom if they divorced and they said divorce doesn’t exist there lol. I’m pretty sure theyre no longer living together, probably never see each other, but their no divorce. Kind of an awkward situation
Well it does kind of counts as divorce
Do Pope Francis have a say in this? i mean his the highest figurehead of the Catholic Church.
He actually adviced that the Philippines should ease up on divorce. You can look it up.
AwkwardPanda
Right, he should instead legalize divorce in the Vatican first.
The catholic church acknowledges that some marriages are bad, and allows marriages to be annulled (divorce is with the gov, annulment is the divorce of the church basically) if the marriage is unhealthy, if a partner cheats, or if they are forced into the marriage
Katrina It Be yeah but it just takes way to long for it to become official
AwkwardPanda that’s why Pope Benedict was a better Pope. True to Catholic Values. ¡Viva Cristo Rey!

Before getting married a couple should have marriage counseling kahit 10 years na sila to make sure there is no abuse physical verbally etc... And it should be for free.
'Are we behind the times or are we holding on to what is right'.... you made the point Bishop!!!!! No to divorce bill.
I did not even realise that divorce was illegal in the Philippines 🤭 so no one can leave a marriage currently and remarry there?
They can legally leave their husband separately have you not heard of that?
@@jbarral6509 yes, but annulment is such a long and expensive process. It’s not worth it.
@@julioriveragomez6995 it can take decades to annul because it’s so expensive even if there is an abusive situation - by the time you might be able to pay it you’re already dead
@@lizasplaylist yes, exactly
They need to focus on teaching sex education, and how to use contraception. Girls as young as 12 get pregnant .
Ironically enough, The Bible does allow divorce under certain circumstances like Abuse, neglect, Adultery, etc.
It's frustrating to hear the reasons of these so called priests on why they don't want divorce to be implemented... 😖 I honestly think that it will benefit a lot of families out there if it were to really become a law...
"A law or a bill that allows destruction of marriages and family". What's there to destroy if it's already broken?
Look @ Manila, it's the great definition of "be fruitful & multiply."
Don't even get me started on the ecology in that dump site. I feel bad for Pasig River.

Many politicians are against divorce because many of these crocs have lots of mistresses. Divorce granted will have a financial cost for these greedy creatures.
If people have the right to form a marriage for their own benefit they have every right to terminate it if it does not work for them.
That is the the start and end of it.
This is one of the most frustrating things about trying to pushing more progressive legislations in my country.
I also find PD's stance on divorce pretty ironic. Just look it up
Annulment is much better than Divorce
if you have 200,000 php to spend. and you cant remarry with annulment, so if you love someone again that someone cant marry you good luck with that relationship
@@kanon1118 Divorce is not the best. That's why many people in other countries have conflicts. Do you want a country that has many single parents like in America? Poor kids grow up without a good father or mother figure if there's divorce and conflicts on the family. If I was born in a country with divorce and my parents broke up. I will just kill myself.
@@kanon1118 Why would you marry in the first place if you would just have a divorce someday? That's trash man.
@@anonymoususer8056 there are many single kids right now regardless if there's divorce or not, the benefit of devorce is so you can start a new life that's not to say you forget your old one of course not, if you have kids divorce dosent neccessarily rob you of your obligation to the kid this is a misdirection which has nothing to do with divorce whatsoever, annulment does the same thing by the way which makles you a hypocrite for siting "divorce makes more single parents" but annulment does it too so why bring that up?
your last question " Why would you marry in the first place if you would just have a divorce someday" you dont go out marrying someone with that midnset at all again another distracting question.
times change sometimes you fall out of love sometimes the person change so much that you dont love him anymore so what? thats normal, instead of forcing people to be sad together you should just be happy appart.
not to mention married couple without any kids why are you not mentioning them? you're looking at it with a black and white lense when there's many many situations where divorce is the only logical moral and economical option
@@kanon1118 Bro There are many single parents because of Divorce than Annulment. Annulment is not very popular in other countries. That's a fact, and second, this is why living nowadays sucks. Marriage is not very serious now and I'm disappointed in today's society. That's why I hear many New Generation people that don't want to be parents someday.
Abuse happens on both parts! All this BS about it’s only men that do the abusing LMAO women are just as abousive.
Ye, it's crazy just how the media only shows men😂
I am Catholic but I definitely believe in divorce. All the counties except the Philippines has divorce. Even the country who spread Christianity in the Philippines has divorce. There are some aspects that people do not fully understand. With the divorce are laws where properties are distributed equally between spouses. Laws giving Alimony to the spouse so he or she doesn’t get hungry if he or she is not self sufficient at the time of the divorce and laws requring child support to guarantee children are taken care of.
When physical and verbal abuse is present in a relationship and all recourse has been explored to na avail. Divorce is justified.
The separation of the church and the state should be respected by the church and should not meddle with its creation and implementation of state laws.
Doesn't matter the religion, but it should be wholly seperated from state affairs. Lives are at stake, and blind meddling will no doubt lead to uneccessary losses.
Straight to the point here... I'm a Filipino, and I support divorce and death penalty.
These zealots are making me laugh and I'm a Filipino.
The catholic church’s massive tolerance of a patriarchal society is one of the reasons I stopped going to church. This is why the Philippines lags so far behind on being a progressive country. It’s 2018, it’s time to start acknowledging women’s rights/choice
MARCOS 10:2-9
“May ilang Pariseong gustong subukin si Jesus; kaya't lumapit sila at nagtanong, “Naaayon po ba sa Kautusan na hiwalayan ng lalaki ang kanyang asawa?” Sumagot siya, “Ano ba ang utos ni Moises sa inyo?” Sumagot naman sila, “Ipinahintulot po ni Moises na ang lalaki ay gumawa ng kasulatan ng paghihiwalay bago niya hiwalayan at palayasin ang kanyang asawa.” Ngunit sinabi ni Jesus, “Ginawa ni Moises ang utos na iyon dahil sa katigasan ng inyong ulo. Subalit simula pa nang likhain ng Diyos ang sanlibutan, nilalang niya ang tao na lalaki at babae. ‘Dahil dito'y iiwan ng lalaki ang kanyang ama at ina, [magsasama sila ng kanyang asawa] at ang dalawa'y magiging isa.’ Hindi na sila dalawa kundi isa. Ang pinagsama ng Diyos ay huwag paghiwalayin ng tao.”
I believe the lawyer lobby is behind this. Annulment is already a huge industry here and out of reach of many ordinary Filipinos. Divorce will just take the same route.
I'm a young Filipino who comes from a Catholic family and I am starting to believe the (Catholic) religious authorities here just disagree with the government just for the sake of doing or saying something. Blocking the rights of men and women to get out of a marriage that turned into an unexpected mess makes a lifelong prison. The priests would only say it's the responsibility of the future wives and husbands to choose their future spouses very carefully but they truly do not understand the picture. Shame.
Are we really following the moves of other country?

"You can leave your husbands but you're not allowed to get married again". Marriage is a decision. If you're a devoted Catholic, you will understand. If you have failed marriages just don't blame the church. It's takes two to tango.
divorce must be available out of love, if god is love
Divorce is a basic right
"in good times and in bad, in and in " my ass, you're literally getting degraded, beaten, abused, and you're telling me it's all just "in bad times"? FFS that's an understatement to how hard it is to actually experience abuse.
As a Filipino, Divorce is fine by me, as a Catholic,...still is fine, The country is fine with divorce,the people who profit from it... Not so much...
Catholicism,as an institution, can blindly encourage people to do things in contrast with what MUST be done.
Philippines is plagued with Catholicism in the sense that it has impacted people with thoughts which contradict laws.
AND YOUR MIND IS PLAGUE WITH EVIL AND STUPIDITY
Lawrence Ryan Calva exactly. It has been rooted in traditions as well. It could perhaps be said that catholicism could compromise a HUGE amount of philippine culture.
We are very attached to God and our Catholicism
This is why you need a separation of church and state

I am from the Philippines and I don't agree with legalizing divorce. This is a waste of taxpayers' money.
You know "wasting taxpayers money" is just and excuse. Costs aren't very high. You just want control over women and not allow them agency in life.
Enjoy abuse from your husband everyday, you deserve every black eye you get.
This is honestly ridiculous. The Bible even says that a woman can divorce and remarry if her husband abuses and cheats on her and vice versa. This is against Biblical teaching.
Josh Mellott what verse... IS YOUR BIBLE DEMONIC?
Josh Mellott nope.. maybe your bible is demonic
@@maharlikarajah2675 LOL
should you wait a husband to abuse you, or to force your husband to abuse you, to justify divorce, what a good teaching from god
I am from the Philippines. I don't mind people getting a divorce when they want but for me, if I ever get married, I don't ever want to be divorced. It's just me upholding my vows. This requires me to be very careful about who I choose as a husband though. Just don't get married if you can't see yourself being with that person no matter what. I believe marriage is more than just love, there must be commitment. Commitment keeps the marriage last more than love. I know people fall out of love sometimes but if you have said your vows, you should live upon them.
Pero ate, di ka po sure kahit na ilang taon ka pa mag-plan if mananatiling ganun ang ugali ng papakasalan mo. People change po. You can't expect someone to live through those vows kung pinag-dishonor na ng tao whom you shared the same vows with.
Still, I hope na hindi yun mangyari sayo and have a good family. God bless po.
Please marry me then.
Shinaru Resurrecci true

Philippines is one of the worst when it comes to alot of things.. nearly all of them are all talk but with no action to back it up, and while other countries are advancing forward. They on the other hand is stuck on a weird stage that they're holding onto for some reason and it's not really giving them any benefit. Also the problem with them isn't just the government and corruption, but the culture and religion that gets in the way of progress and how it bullies on the state to get what it wants, while the people are too stupid to show any type of change. It's why the country and the culture is one of my most hated. When put in a list.
True, sadly. What's ironically worse is that this culture and religion aren't even ours to begin with! They're from our colonizers and visitors. That's a new level of shame.
Santa Klauss even though it was introduced.. the culture made it their own. That's the problem.

NorthObsidianG lol the Philippines has the happiest people in Asia. Where do you live? Happiness isnt all about money pal.
Well this is what happen when you let religion get involved with politics. Religion and Politics should not blend in together. They are two separate things.
If Divorce many will not take Marriage seriously. It would be like a pre marital relationship that people can come and go anytime you want. It's not the solution. Those who support divorce like what Pia says " Messenger of the Demon", what else do you call it? Whether in an abusive relationship or not, Divorce must not be allowed, because God says so! The couple can be separated, but they cannot remarry as long one of them is still alive. The problem is that they want Divorce, because couples want to be remarried.
Hang in there strong Filipines! What God has joined together no man SHALL separate!
@play store games are you Muslim?
these lawmakers only want to get an escape for their sinful ways.. there are someofthem have concubines and live in
So people who want to get out of a marriage which has been toxic and hurting them are also "sinful" eh??
Its not a matter of sin this and sin that. Its about being human
Hindi lang pala sa ekonomiya kulelat, pati deboryo huli rin. lol.
It is not about religion but the very sanctity of marriage solemnized either by the church or state is highly regarded in the Philippine constitution. To legalize divorce would mean charter change will have to be in effect, which of course could still take a very long while.
The bishop is right " Ang aral Ng Simbahan ay Aral ni Jesus". The Church is only a messenger or a protector of the word of God, it does not have the right to change anything.
Change is coming 😊
