Divorce Bill in the Philippines
I. Introduction
Divorce in the Philippines is planning to take over Filipino values and culture. It’s all over the news, the Philippine Congress is now pushing forward the Divorce Bill right after they have put forward the Reproductive Health Bill. This issue was brought up. And just as what they have stated, “RH Bill can also lead to the Divorce Bill” because they have the same proponents.
We know lots of Evangelical Christians are pro-RH Bill. But what they don’t know is that the proponents of RH Bill are also the proponents of Divorce Bill. And now that they almost got what they want, they are now preparing for another wave of controversial bill which will open a highway for immorality and degradation of Philippine culture and religious standards and beliefs. I AM ANTI -DIVORCE BILL!
II. Body
The proposed Divorce Bill of the Philippines is a bill introduced by Gabriela Women’s Party representatives Rep. Luzviminda Ilagan and Emerenciana de Jesus.
It proposes five grounds for the filing of a petition for divorce, which include psychological incapacity, causing one’s failure to comply with essential marital obligations and irreconcilable differences causing the irreparable breakdown of the marriage. Only couples who have been separated for five years and those already legally separated for two years are the only ones who may apply for divorce. Malta is set to legalize divorce, which makes the Philippines the only country in the world that bans divorce.
