Happily never after: Fighting for the right to divorce in the Philippines • FRANCE 24 English

What 🤔

Pass the Law already!

My violent lesbian neighbour ditched the mother she was seeing and bashing, and married a women much stronger than herself. That relationship seems to be going OK.

This is why separation of church and state is a necessity.

The Bible outlines the reasons for divorce. Did not God himself divorce Israel? The Catholic Church is wrong.

Unbelievable and positively medieval. How is this possible in 2024? The Vatican is located in Italy and it is legal to get a divorce there. How could they have perpetrated this for so long in another country? Shocking and disgusting. Divorce has been legal in Italy since the 70s.

The law of his so called lord allows a person to re-marry so how are they to achieve that? bigamy?

Divorcio nga hindi maibigay sa mga Babae, Gay Marriage pa Kaya? Shabu pa More. 😂

Catholic church teachings regarding divorce, contraceptives, condom are obsolete. No offense but these priests are Hypocrites.

hypocrite, those who oppose the divorce law...they can't explain why the Philippines is the only one/few countries in the world without divorce....

Whoever doesn't want divorce to be made legal in the Philippines are promoting violence and abuse in relationships for the sake of keeping promises between married couples forever.

But Senator Chiz Escudero easily got out of his marriage and marry his girlfriend

This is absolutely ridiculous

Stup!d lawmakers not passing the bill

No to divorce... yes to annulment

There is a law in the philippines called VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN... she should have filed a case to her husband...

The state should divorce the Catholic church for real.

It won't pass in the Senate, election is next year. They will need the support of the Church. Also President Marcos and the Dutertes are not in good terms, Marcos won't dare to add another opposition to his regime.

the reason why a lot of catholics are now converting to other religion, backward and unprogressive belief

Our country has a lot of church lapdogs. They will do everything because they need votes

Just look at how messy life or family life in US is. It's so messy.
And the Philippines would follow such footsteps?

Christianity, stopping progress since year 0. 😂

The Catholic church is starting to campaign against pro divorce politicians. They are now afraid to loose votes in the coming elections!

Why we so much stuck in the past? Spain who brought Christianity to the Philippines has divorce in their country.

no divorce equals poverty

THE FATHER ACCEPTS PROSTITUTION!!!!!
HE IS DEVIL IN DISGUISE

no divorce? this is unconstitutional. Give freedom to women who were abused in their marriage. give men fear not to abuse their spouse then more happy families.. Not all people are Catholics, why do you apply this to all people? Why Filipino Muslims free to divorce?

Passport Bro left the Philippines 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yes to Divorce!

No to divorced 🇵🇭

NO TO DIVORCE. So what if you are retiring. I am also separated for 15 years but I DONT NEED DIVORCE.I WANT JUSTICE. My husband is a womanizer I want to see him in jail and his mistresses.Thats Justice.

You are hoping it to be part of the law ,I pray it will not .

Divorce is for Womanizer adulterers mistresses manstress etc. If we see them jailed then thats JUSTICE.

Filipino family need a law to strengthen family bond and an immediate punishment sa mga sumisira ditong ANAY (e.g . mga KABIT) without the high costs of counsel court hearings and atty fee etc.

A big yes to divorce

Let the divorce be final

Ive done 12 years going through annulment. Its very difficult.

What is the church to do with with the state?

The church doesn’t have anything to do to pass a law…they are not part if the senate nor the government.

in my decision you should let people have a choice of annulment or divorce as alot of people cant afford annulment. And there are of people that are in the phillipines that cant move own because they can move on because they are still married, and please help make this people move own to better lives if they had bad experience in there marriage and did not work out at all. And make sure you that people in the phillipines should reasonable price and not expensive at all

Separation of church and state is a necessity. Fighting for the right to divorce👌💪💪💪

I left catholic for this annoyance view...catholic church in philippines is selfish because of the church leaders selfishness and narrow minded view on things...they don't care about their members wellness, they only care I think about people to suffer more in their situation so they will always rely their fate to god by going to church every Sunday and donate or give offerings.... It's only my opinion, up to others who are observant enough whether to agree or not...in Europe, except Vatican, the priests are not a problem...i can say, they are waking up in the reality and respect the essence of government by letting them do their job without using their faith as obstacles to solve lots of obstacles in marriages...
