Would divorce help us, Filiipinos?

I believe that every Filipino should have the option to divorce his or her spouse when necessary. If marriage and its sanctity is very important (as what anti-Divorce people say) then why is getting married as easy as ordering pizza? :/

I also heard of this issues everywhere and anywhere here in the country. I heard people talking about this in busses, jeepneys, malls, parks, and even in the office. I also read some article and blogs with regards to this issue. And it confuses me if such bill would be approved or not. Anyway, I dont know how to answer your question because I saw the good side and the bad side of divorce. I am a family oriented person and I have a strong faith with god and it is his will if a couple gets married. However, some relationship must be ended to end up also the pain that they gave to each other. I am confuse with this thing and I know that people are also waiting for the result of this bill.

of coarse no, it's obvious that it destroys relationships. If need be a divorce, one should face the consequence of not/prohibition of marrying another one, let us not follow the stupid mistake what a lot of states in the US did, of endless marriage and divorce.

Marriage and divorce are things that involve serious decision making. If you made the right decision with choosing who to marry and why get married, then divorce ought to be avoidable. However, if a couple has troubles that are irreconcilable, then divorce should ONLY be the last choice. With the way people jump into marriage, divorce comes easily. But why are we SO worried about divorce?

why not implement divorce?? there are tons of marriages out there that are not working out anymore. both partners are just suffering. people say that divorce will ruin a family... why in the world will divorce ruin a family when the partners who would want it are already ruined, they're both already torn apart. divorce is not for those who are happy, it's for those who wanted freedom. this is just my opinion, i totally respect those who are on the other side.

Not at all. Some Filipinos will only take advantage of the situation. In the Philippines today divorce is not yet legalized but then there are a lot of broken marriages out there. If divorce will be legalized, I guess more homes will be broken and more children will suffer the consequences. What the people should learn is to think twice before getting married to avoid any complications.

I don't know in what aspect does "divorce" could ever help us. Divorce,separation is a personal choice and nothing to do with the Filipinos in general. But,if you were referring to our culture and tradition which we don't take divorce as an option...i guess we need to be realistic more. Thu our country and the people in our country are aware of these separation that is going on with many couples and is acceptable in our society,still the churches are there to disagree with this matter. Religiously,i also do not agree with divorce,it's like giving a ticket or permit to elicit affairs. But if we look around,women who suffers the most with their husband's cheating on them,i will consider divorce or legal separation as the best way to give freedom to both (couple) in diplomatic way and legalities of course. If divorce will be approved,then maybe kids from broken family will also understand easier why things happened and why some family ended that way. I know no one wants to have a broken family,who wants anyway...no one. But this is reality..and reality should be accept and not condemned.

With or without divorce the Philippines can be better if only the citizens learn the true value of good discipline and respecting laws and rules. I don't think what we have now, a politically and economically immature society can benefit with divorce. I think divorce can make it worst because may couples will use this as an excuse for their own pleasures.
