last 1965, the vatican ended their revision of the Vatican II… there is this certain “Aggiornamento” or keeping up to date and coping up of the church’s doctrines to the current or more likely to say modernization of the world. hinde lahat ng “dating” sinabi ng simbahan ay puedeng tama pa rin ngayon kasi maraming bagay ang nagbabago.. i am not questioning the authenticity of the Christian Bible but at this point of time, meron na tayong paradigm shift at kailangan na nating magcope up sa shifting na ito….

ex. you had child with your husband then youve got annulled,,, means that you NEVER GOT MARRIED after all then you have a child? its like premarital sex…. it is not good for you to be called ex-wife and ex-husband be never married right?? “no marriage after all if annulled”

ex. when both of you got divorced, means you have a child with your husband legally because youve got married but it was terminated only. “there was marriage but terminated that’s divorce”

Philippines is pro family. I am sure that when this bill is passed. this will not be a burger that every one will take a bite. I am sure divorce is not a good thing to do. I am sure that people will do everything to save marriage before going to this last option.

We are always looking at Filipino idealism about keeping family together. I accept that. But let us also face reality. When it is not really working, why this whole family need to live in darkness? Is it the same people we are trying to protect? To give a normal life? Normal family as well? Re-marrying is also a family that we want to built right?

Looking at present law, what are the problems that a lot of us are tying to close our other eye just to keep this idea about religion is always trying protect.

Reality:
1. Family leave in darkness forever. Instead of protecting the people.
2. How many people are separated and having other family now?that even both are all living with different families now? Why we can not protect those people as well?
3. How many illegitimate child need to be born and receive less acceptance in this society because of this old idealism?
4. Annulment is for rich people. So where is equality?
5. Corruption from some government officials, lawyers and judges who are taking advantage from this suffering couples. Why we open that window here? if it is legal and affordable, do you think people will find ways how to make money out of it?
6. How many crime committed for murder that is connected to these issues? How many people get away and criminals was not convicted due to careful planning and not obvious to public that the lead was due to unhappy marriage. Why we need to open up this threat? Is it easier to talk about it to find solution rather than committing a crime????
7. How many people committed suicide because of this??? Are we blind???
8. Is it good that law if for all? rich and poor can afford it?

All of these happens because of what??? Idealism.. “Filipino people preserve the right of keeping the family together” Hellooooo… let us open our eyes… and accept reality… same as the whole world that Malta and Philippines choose to close their eyes….

GABRIELA.. Please fight for the right of people to live a normal life even for the innocent kids… we will support you.. Divorce is not the option that people will pick-up first to solve a family problem. Same as other country, there are alot of ways that will take place first before a couple decide to this. Counselling, talk it over, family assistance… i am sure no one wants divorce but if this is the best solution for all. Why we keep it hard for everyone?

Welcome to 2011 those who are not agreeing to this… maybe you are one of the lucky family… but give a chance to those people who are not.. do not dictate to them how they should live their life and just pray for their happiness too.

Women suffer more because of nullity of marriage law which is the only remedy for them to seek. The threat of divorce will make a philanderer either to think twice about his actions or go ahead and face the reality of dissolving a failing marriage. Suffering a failing marriage need not be the proving grounds for one’s fidelity to their Christian beliefs. God implements natural law, not human laws.

DI PA BA NATIN MAISIP NA PROTECTION ITO PARA SA LAHAT?

SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE DI NAMAN NATIN KAILNGAN NA BALIWALAIN YAN PERO PAANO YONG NAG DUURUSA DAHIL FAILURE AND MARRAIGE LIFE NILA?

WE NEED A LAW FOR EVERYONE ND ONLY THE LAW THAT ONLY RICH CAN AVAIL.

SA ANNULMENT MALAKI ANG GAGASTOSIN KAYA YONGMAY KAYA LANG HALOS ANG NAKAKA AVAIL NITO.

BAKIT BA MADAMOT ANG HUSTISYA PARA SA LAHAT!?!

SABI NILA JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL! SAAN?

IF WE HAVE DIVORSE IT’S A PROTECTION FOR ALL THE PILIPINOS…

WE NEED A LAW NA KAYANG ABUTIN NG KAHIT SINO MAHIRAP OR MAYAMAN.

ITO NA ANG PANAHON NG PAGBABAGO.

SUPPORTAHAN NATIN ANG DIVORSE TO SEE THAT WE ARE (PILIPINOS) ARE MATURED ENOUGH.

WE HOPE THAT GABRIELA WILL FIGHT FOR THIS TO MAKE A LAW AND MAKE IT A HISTORY FOR THE FILIPINOS.

WE SUPPORT YOU!!!

simple lang mga tol, kung hindi ka siguradong magpakasal, huwag kang sasabak. problema kasi sa marami panay puso lang ang sukatan, baka pwedeng gamitin ang utak? try mo. . .

ang pagpapakasal, hindi gaya ng mainit na kanin, na kapag napaso ka ay iluluwa mo na. aba mga pinoy, manindigan ka naman sa desisyon mo.

oo ngat may limang proseso/grounds bago ma-aaprove ang divorce, pero teh, sa bawat gusto mong asawa na nais mong palitan, aba, talagang gagawa ako ng paraan para masunod lang ang 5 grounds para maaprubahan ko ang divorce bill.

1 pa, may iba pa tayong mga batas na nagsusulong ng proteksyon ng mga kababaihan. ang dapat siguro, gisingin ang diwa ng tapang ng mga babae gayundin ang diwa ng kanilang mga utak, ng nalalaman nila ang dapat nilang sa mga asawa nilang umaabuso sa kanila.

hindi ba’t masakit din yun sa pride ng babae? ikaw na nga ang inabuso, kaw na ang nagfile ng divorce, at right after ng divorce, aba, si kuya, mas may advantage pa para magbuhay binata. as though, para mo na rin siyang binigyan ng insentive sa kanyang pang-aabuso sa’yo. thanks nga naman sa divorce bill, o db?

o sige, iba daw ang konteksto ng divorce bill dito sa pilipinas, e teka, san ba nanggaling ang konseptong yan. bakit teh, anong assurance mo na hindi sa ganong tahak ng daan tayo tutungo gaya ng landas ng mga supah liberated countries?…isipin mo nga.

oh, heto pa para sa mga may nais ng divorce bill, kung gusto niyo, irevise niyo na rin ang mga vows/promises sa kasal. nang sa ganon ay hindi naman nakakahiya sa yo na nangako ka pa sa harapan ng Diyos para lang masabi na may naganap na kasalan.

hindi ka nga nahihiya na makipaghiwalay ka, pero, hindi ka rin nahiya na may pinangako ka pa sa Diyos na tinuturing mo. ano nga ba kaya ang mas nakakahiya, ano?

galing talaga ano, grabe..ang dami-daming dapat na isatupad na mga lumang batas na mukha namang mas karapat-dapat na ipatupad, bakit kaya hindi mas pinagtutuunan ng pansin———siguro, magandang ihain na lang to uli, kapag naman may say na ang gobyerno na marami na silang batas na mas makabuluhan ang naisabatas at naisagawa.

dagdag na lang ng dagdag na mga bills, samantalang marami pang mas nauna nang mga batas ang naisabatas na, pero pagdating sa implementasyon? BULOK. utang na loob, wag nio ng dagdagan.

Why do we need divorce when there is annulment and legal separation if the only excuse to legalize it is to escape from an unredeemable situation? I’m not saying that annulment and legal separation is better but my point is, why is there a need of making another law of abolishing the legality of a marriage when there is already an existing law that can do that? And besides, using divorce to solve the problem of unhappy marriage is evading the real issue of why there is fighting, of why a situation like that arises. It is like resolving the pain of a wound in the foot by breaking the arm so as not to feel the pain from the foot because the pain is greater in the arm.

Professional studies both here and abroad show that street children, juvenile delinquent prisoners, prostitutes, criminals and the likes are most often than not a product of broken families. Therefore, it is only a figment of imagination that children were being spared from the destructive effect of broken homes by divorcing.

Legalizing divorce will encourage and or provide excuse for others to change partners from one to another as if they are only changing their clothes and allowing them to abuse the sanctity of marriage and surely, broken homes will abound all the more. Legalizing it will not make it moral either so it will be insanity if we consider it moral because everybody is doing it.

Lastly, legalizing divorce will only breed selfishness and self-indulgence. Why is that? Just listen on the reasons of the people pushing this bill, don’t I have the right to seek a first, second or third happiness? It is always I, I think that’s one of the unspoken reasons why the Church is against beside divorce will diminish the true spirit of marriage which is giving and taking in the name of love and which in the first place the reason why they entered into the union of marriage.
