DIVORCE in the Philippines?!Are you in Favor or not?!

[ghosthunter]

Do you think it is time to legalize divorce in the Philippines?

[1D4LV]

imho. hindi dapat ilegalize and divorce dito sa pinas.
instead, live-ins should be legalized :lol:

seriously...

so that couples would not wed in the first place and spare themselves of the expenses that they will incur on the wedding and on the actual divorce process. walang committment, walang separation of conjugal properties.

[geraldmartin]

hindi pa cguro dapat.........ewan ko....

kasi dapat naman kasi nag-isip-isip bago magpakasal........pero daming issues.....like nabuntis....automatic pinakakasal ng magulang....kahit mga bata/immature pa

pero kung live-in muna naman there's an issue of morality.........

tapos merong legal issues like adultery...mentaly incapicitated....etc.....

ang tanong ko kasi sa sarili bago ako magpasakal is kung kaya kong dibdibin kung ano man ang hindi ko pa alam sa magiging wife ko....sa family nya......sa friends nya.....sa genes nila......etc....then something inside me said "YES".... then ganon din ang wife ko.......tapos......tuloy na ang sakalan!!!! :mrgreen:

Para sakin mas Ok na yung amg divorse kesa naman sa lagi nalang nag aaway ang mag asawa tapos na kikita pa ng mga Kids nila.

Mas makakaron pa sila ng peace of mind pag divorse na sila. at the same time magiging malaya sila pareho. Hindi naman lahat ng married life sucessful so mas mabuti ng mag divorse.

[Macky]

Women's right ang divorce dito sa merika.

[kiper]

divorce na yan!!

parents ko hanggang ngayon di pa rin nagkakasundo..

di naman titigil tatay ko sa pambabae kaya kailangan hiwalay na sila.]

lugi naman nanay ko!*! tatay ko puro pasarap tapos nanay ko puro pahirap..

saka para magkaroon na ng peace of mind ung nanay ko.. para naman makahinga na siya ulit ng maluwag noh..!!

saka pati mga anak apektado!! pwede namang magbigay ng pera ang tatay sa mga anak kahit hiwalay sa asawa.. sa asawa lang naman nakahiwalay eh -- di sa mga anak.

imo lang po.8)

[pajerokid]

IMO, Divorce should be legalized. Theres no point in continuing a failed relationship. Besides, applicable ba to dito? eh naghihiwalay at nagaasawa ng iba mga tao dito eh. hindi lang nga legal.

How about the rights of the children?
Who is looking after their rights?
Sa mga pro-divorce, matikman niyo
na muna sana maging product of a
broken family before you advocate
divorce.
Hindi tama yang divorce. Mawawasak
ang pamilyang Pilipino diyan. Bulok na
nga itong bansa natin, lalo pang mabubulok...

[NightRock]

wala tayo magagawa kung ganon na talaga kapalaran ng mga KIDS na may parents na ang divorse.. Ano ang gugustuhin mo yung makita ng mga bata na daily nag aawaya ng parents nila or yung mag ka hiwalay na lang.. Sooner or later ma iintidihan din ng mga bata yon... Kanya kanyang kapalaran lang yan. Mas mahirap maging physically na malaya ka pero mentally naka kulong ka sa problema..

[pajerokid]

Oo nga pareng TJMaxx, good example ba sa mga chikiting ang makita si Mister sinasapak si misis? Who likes divorce? Ako hinde. Ayokong makita naghihiwalay ang mga nagmahalan dati. Pero kung ganto sitwasyon, ano pa magagawa? Kung babaero si Mister? Ano gagawin ni misis? magtiyaga?

The kids can be taken care of by a single parent. This is not uncommon these days. Opo, i totally agree na hindi maganda ang palalakihin ng single parent ang anak compared to the usual 2 parents, but this is not impossible. True, maraming anak ng single parents, nagwawala, but i personally know some na matino, mabait at responsable.

Bottom line is, if youre a good parent, youll produce good children, whether single or not. On the other hand, Garbage in = Garbage out.

[kuroy]

I say no to divorce. Kaakibat naman talaga ng mag-asawa ang problema. Hindi nawawala iyan.

Good thing is we will learn how to work things out. Sa mga bansang legal ang divorce, kaunting kibot or problem lang solution divorce agad. Nawawala na iyong fighting spirit ng couple to work things out.

Kaya naman sa mga statistika, mataas masyado ang rate ng divorce kasi nga mabilis magpalit. Daming celebrities na ganyan.

And advocate din ako ng essence ng matrimony: "What GOD has put together, let no man put asunder." Morality is what keeps a Filipino family strong compare to other Western nations.

[NightRock]

Mahirap ma preserve ang old culture halos lahat naman ng bansa ganyan ang nangyayari so. Kahit na sabihin natin na magadan ang Family Values ng Pinoy hindi pa rin maiiwasan na mag karoon ng ganitong sitwasyon.. its true na sa US konting away lang Divorse agad nasa utak ng tao.. Pwede namang gawin legal satin ang divorse. pero dapat may time frame bago ma approved yung application ng couples. Para maka pag isip isip din sila kung tama ang gagawin nila.. At saka dapat maraming basis ang para ma granted yung application nila ng divorse .

[nonie]

Marriage is a lifetime commitment..Hindi po ako pabor sa divorce...Kung ang parents mo ay palaging nag aaway at gustong maghiwalay, then i can say they are selfish individual that they don't care or love their children....

[splerdu]

I think the best solution is to legalize divorce but to make the requirements for divorce difficult. The DSWD will almost certainly have to be involved in all divorceable cases, especially to ensure child welfare.

Arguments for fighting spirit, and for biblical scripture aside, I believe it is better to give people a chance to say "this isn't working anymore" rather than leave them with something they can't get out of. Taking nonie's argument: If your parents are fighting all the time and it is conclusive that they are selfish individuals who don't care about or love their children, doesn't that also conclude that the family has failed? The non-option of divorce is akin to living in a bad place with no chance of moving to someplace better.

Oh, and technically there is divorce here, but by a different name. It's called annulment.

[DSM619]

mahirap sabihin na di dapat i legalized dahil may mga tao talaga na di sila ang dapat pang habambuhay pero mukhang sila nung bago pa or for the first few years . totoo na may issue ito ng moralidad dahil ang marriage ay one of the sacraments at marami pa naman ang katoliko sa Pinas .


about sa mga anak meron naman siguro tayong tinatawag na counseling sa family but worse comes to wores , kung wala na talagang pag asa then i'd go for divorce.

[jesi]

Yes definitely. It may not be legal now but the influentials still find ways of annulling [annulment] their marriages. Kahit naman walang divorce eh, like many says, marami rin namang nagkakahiwalay. So why not make it legal? Our country kasi is a very religious country. Almost major decisions in life, religion always play a part in it. Even politicians for sure will not even try to bring this issue up as it will mean the downfall of their political life.

I am a devout Catholic. I always pray and try not to miss the Sunday mass. But still, I have my own opinions of things that may be different of what the church teaches like this one for example. I have no intentions of getting a divorce. I love my wife and kids so dearly that I will never do anything to hurt them. Just that I see a lot of couple [like what many here says] na for me, I think they're better off apart than together. Divorce does not mean na pababayaan na mga bata. Nasa couple na iyon on how to take care of their kids.

[pajerokid]

very very well said jesi.

[jaspi11]

wak na, wawa naman mga bata sila magdusa.

[theveed]

pro-divorce me... (trust me, i've been through the process)... kalokohan yung "para sa anak natin... pilitin natin ayusin" BS... if you've tried several times and it didn't work out, give yourself, and your kids a chance to have a better father/mother figure...

i don't believe in the religious aspect of marriage.

[DITTO]

divorce is the same thing as annulment... kung legal ang annulment, why not legalize divorce as well... ang ginagawa tuloy ng iba, kailangan magpanggap ang isa na mentally incapacitated... biruin mo, lolokohin pa nila ang sarili nila para matuloy lang ang hiwalayan... besides, malaking gastos ang annulment na ang mga rich lang ang nakakaaford... tuloy, ang walang kaya, maghihiwalay na lang at makikisama sa iba ng walang kasalan...

i'm a chatolic and i don't intend to help people get a divorce... this should be their last course of action... IMO lang po...
