  1. Sa mga katulad nyong can afford lang ang annulment pero pano pag wlang pera na nasa abusive marriage pala? Magtitiis na lang then makikisama sa iba at magkaka anak outside of marriage? Daming ganyan.

    1. Ngeehhh kasi baka mabilis pa sa alas kwatro na layasan kayo ng mga asawa niyo

    2. How about mas takot ang mga lalaki na mabilis pa sa alas kwarto lalayasan ng mga wife nilang ubos na ang pasensya?

      And what's wrpng with that?

      Daming abusive marriages at palikerong mga asawa dyan, everyone deserves a proper legal chance of moving forward.

    3. 1:07 anong pinagsasasabe mo accla. kaya nga gusto ng divorce para makalayas sa asawang walang silbe and abusive. binigyan tayo ng utak gamitin natin hindi yan display girl.

      Delete
    4. 107 mas okay ng layasan ng asawa through divorce kesa naman magsuffer ka in an abusive marriage. kaya ang daming mag-asawa jan commiting bigamy and concubinage dahil napakatagal magprocess ng annulment bukod pa sa ubod ng mahal kaya di ko gets mentally ng iba kung bakit ayaw payagan yung mga mag-asawa lalo na yung nasa physically abusive relationship na maghiwalay. being beaten up destroys you not just physically.

  2. Not everyone is lucky to have found a good partner like you. When you say no to divorce, you are saying yes to recurring abuse, to suffering for the rest of the lives of those trapped in a loveless and abusive marriages.

    3. Then find a good partner. Bago kayo magpakasal siguraduhin nyong mabuting tao pakakasalan nyo at mamuhay kayo ng ayon sa salita ng Diyos.

    4. Not really. You are giving someone the opportunity to take marriage lightly and because there is a divorce, they can get away from the responsibility and you anytime, and find a partner, again and again and again ... oh well.

    11. 10:42 where did you get the idea that divorce is easy? There are parameters involved. Even in the States and here in Canada, you have to show proof or be living separately for one year. Ano ba tingin nyo sa divorce, pipila ka lang sa office tapos divorce na? No. I don’t know about Las Vegas but in most countries with divorce bill, Hindi rin madali ang divorce… some even go for counselling before actually resorting to divorce. Divorce will just give people a chance on being happy again and having control over their lives… who are we to say no to that? If you don’t want divorce then don’t but for people who are in an abusive relationship at least if divorce is passed, they have an option to reclaim their life. It’s a basic human right to be free. And divorce will always give women the right to ask for alimony…

  5. Annulment is too costly! And almost impossible. Sayang ang mga buhay. Unnecessary suffering na pinapahintulutan ng gobyerno natin.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Annulment means the marriage was never valid to begin with. When you use annulment to separate fron your spouse, mukhang t@ng@ lang na maghahanap kayo ng butas kung bat hindi valid ang kasal nyo. Kaya siya mahal. From "wrong religious denomination" (hi kris and james!), to parties not present kuno (hello diether and kristine), to psychological incapacity kuno (ano yan, may sapak? So ano tawag sa pumatol sa may sapak?). Nagiging circus.

      Divorce means that the marriage was valid but broke somewhere down the line, That recognition is important. Mas at peace kayo when you part ways.

  6. Gets ko na yung pagNo-no nya,dahil daw religious ang pinoy,dahil sa religion,hay naku goma,di mo alam na sobrang huli na yung mindset mo,isipin mo yung mga asawang inaabuso na gusto ng makawala sa mga partners nila,mga anak din ang nagsa-suffer dahil nakikita nilang hindi magkasundo ang mga parents nila,mas trauma kaya sa mga anak yung hindi nya pagsuporta🙄🙃

    1. Yan lang ba ang na pick up mo sa entire speech nya? How about the part where he mentioned that divorce will lead to more cases of infidelity as people may feel that they can easily get out if they find someone better? And how about the part where he spoke about the destructive and devastating impact of divorce to children? Just observe the moral values of the people in those countries legalizing divorce. Kung makapag palit ng asawa, parang nagpalit lang ng damit. Yes, there are abusive marriages, which is why I think they can instead focus on amending the existing law to take into consideration abusive marriages and to address all other issues surrounding it.

    7. They can put rules or entry criteria to divorce. Minimum number of years together, unless violent or abusive relationship. Proof of counseling, or attempt to make the marriage work. Kaya nga sila mambabatas, di ba?

      Stop shoving religiosity down everyone's throats, pwede ba?! The government is there to serve alll. Pero kung ipipilit nila abg religion, pwes... Kung ina-allow nila ang bosho sa mga muslim, pwede bang i-allow nila ang divorce sa mga hindi religious?

    10. 12:36 sa naobserve ko, karamihan ng mga lalaking Pilipino na may asawa, ang mindset is norma lang mambabae. Kawawa mga babae. Yes may mga babae rin nanglalalaki pero sa culture talaga natin parang "ok lang mambabae or magkaron ng kabit" kasi masyadong baby mga lalaki ng batas natin. Pansin ko sa ibang bansa, mas takot sila mambabae mas may respeto sila sa wives nila. Dapat ganon. Hindi balanse dito sa Pinas. Masyado kawawa mga babae.

  18. Yung mga politicians na ito need to realize that we didn't vote for them because of your religion but because naniwala tayo na they have their kababayan's best interest.

    Kung personal beliefs nio pala and religion sa pag gawa nio ng batas eh di wag na lang tayo magpolitiko.

    We put up na nga with your corruption and stealing from people, mano ba naman yung makakaginhawa sa mga nasa abusive relationships.

    May mga downsides ang divorce, pero gawan nio ng paraan na ma address yun. Pede naman lagyan ng safeguards. Wala naman sa sinabing ground for divorce na kapag ayaw na and nakahanap ng better as one reason for divorce. Kaya bakit yung argument nia?

  22. I’m pro-divorce pero I think I understand what’s going on here. Politicians are too afraid to make a stand kasi they’re afraid of losing votes. That’s a reality in this country. I live in a small city in the province. I hate the fact na may mga tricycle sa main highway. Nakakatrapik sa daan for multiple reasons and it only carries a few people. But instead of thinking of mass transit solution, LGU is too afraid kasi tricycle drivers are passionate voters. Divorce will never fly here for the same reason.

I am married and I am secured in my marriage. Having a divorce bill does not scare me.

I know so many people who are so relieved they got out of a messed up marriage, and the kids suffer while the parents are together fighting and bickering at each other. Kids nowadays understand that for parents to be good parents, they have to be whole and happy.

  46. Left n right ang mga nangangaliwa diyan sa pinas.no divorce talaga dahil walang money to file for it. Basta hiwalayan mo Basta toxic ang relationship ninyo. Walang kwenta ang batas sa pinas kaya Bakit pa mag papass ng law about divorce.

  47. People still separate in the Philippines anyway - just without the rights that divorce would impose. It's ludicrous that anyone of sound mind would even contest this..how many Filipino men have extramarital affairs, children on the side, issues with domestic abuse? Are those the morally superior he wants to "protect"??

  53. I'm pro divorce. I had an annullment in Manila and it took 3 years. Funny thing is I financed the whole thing! My ex didn't care about the charges as long as he won't contribute. Which I hemmed and hawwed for years because of the cost. My friends, all three got theirs annulled too without their ex's support which is rotten to say the least!
    Some people don't present the way they really are before marriage and theres no reason why a person live a life of sin or made a mistake when they were young or they've been lied to.

  58. No to divorce. Yes to amendment of the annulment law. Make it cheaper and faster so abused spouses can avail of it. Parang sa small claims, mabilis lang. Pero for serious grounds only. Divorce kasi kahit mababaw ginagrant. Mawawala talaga ang sanctity of marriage. Parang sa Las Vegas kahit lasing pwede magpakasal tapos divorce na lang later on. Nagiging joke na lang ang marriage.

    1. So what kung mababaw? Pala desisyon kayo para sa iba. So para lang sa mailan Ilan na “mababaw” ang dahilan Kaya no kayo sa divorce ? E paano naman yung mga nasa abusive relationship at marsmi sila ha… Sanctity of marriage kayo jan- with or without divorce naman, spouses cheat. Open your eyes.

  59. Bakit kasi naka focus jan sa divorce bill masyado. Gawan na muna ng batas yung mga bago magpapakasal dapat dumaan sila sa mahirap na proseso saka na approvahan yan. For sure maiiwasan yung mga naghihiwalay lalo pag may anak na. Lumalaki na populasyon ng pinas tapos keri keri lang magpadami ng legal.

  61. Pag annulment walang alimony. Pag divorce meron. Kaya hindi rin basta bastang option ang divorce because there’s alimony/spousal support involved. Spousal support pwedeng habang buhay yan, pwedeng one-time big-time payment, pwedeng may specific timeframe lang depende sa financial capability ng either party. So di ko alam kung pabor pa to sa mayayaman who can afford alimony, o pahirap sa mga di masyadong afford. Child support nga di mapatupad ng maayos dito pano pa kaya ito.

Akala ko malakawak ang pag iisip mo pero wala ka palang pinag kaiba sa makikitid na utak na pulitiko. sayang naman ang paghalal sayo at backwards pala ang mga paniniwala mo sa divorce. Pilipinas na lang at Vatican ang natitirang bansa na walang divorce. Yung Spain nga na sumakop sa atin meron nyan tapos tayong mga Pilipino ay kumakapit sa bulok na paniniwala.

  74. Akala nio naman mura ang process ng divorce. Sa umpisa pa lang pag may nakita na kau na red flag, don't get married. When you get married, make sure kilala nio na at least 80% ang magiging spouse nio. And don't have kids yet.

  75. Daming threatened sa pagpapasa ng divorce bill e kung confident kayo sa marriage nyo there’s no reason for you to feel insecure.

    Ang right to divorce a spouse should be included in basic human rights. Pero ano ba maasahan sa bansa natin, napakaraming violations ng human rights. Oo may freedom of speech tayo pero yung quality of life natin napakababa at nasa laylayan ng priority ng gobyerno. Lahat na ng bansa may divorce jusko naman!! Mas marami at malala ang epekto ng kawalan ng divorce sa bansa kesa sa pagkakaron nito.
    Does the government even research how many married couples have separated? How many children are born illegitimate and carry the shame simply because their mother or father can’t afford annulment?? How many women are being victimized by abusive partners? Napakaraming pang-aapak sa human rights na nangyayari bunga ng kawalan ng divorce. Kung pwede lang ako lumuhod isa isa sa mga b*** at walang puso politiko na to gagawin ko maipasa lang ang divorce.

  76. Kahit i allow ng government ang divorce, religion can still exercise their rights to refuse divorce. If against sa divorce ang isang religion pwede nila ipagbawal un sa mga kaanib nila. Example sa INC bawal kumain ng dugo because of their beliefs. So allow divorce for those who need them.

  80. Divorce will never be accepted sa atin dahil sa mindset ng mga Pinoy. Binasa ko mga comments and mapapakamot ka na lang ng ulo. Not because may divorce, hiwalay na agad or mas marami manloloko. It depends yan sa relationship nyo and sa integrity nyong mag-asawa. And pag divorce mas mapoprotect ang mga kids, dahil susunod dyan yung legal na proseso na dapat sustentuhan ang mga bata or bigyan ng alimony ang spouse, ang mga tatay dapat magpatuloy ng obligation sa mga anak. Di matatapos responsibility dahil naghiwalay. Mas mabibigyan ng rights ang mga bata unlike now, sumama sa mga kabit at iniwan ang obligasyon sa mga naiwan na magulang na nagaalaga ng mga anak. I am all for divorce. If marriage is not working, end it amicably and legally.
