Nobody should stand in the way of a persons right to be happy, even though I'm happily married myself, I'm not going to stay in a loveless or abusive marriage if it ever turns out that way I think you make a very good point. It is senseless to rigidly adhere to a principal when it results in the mutual detriment of all of those involved. Side: support

I completely support it. Allowing divorce will allow people in loveless, abusive, miserable marriages to escape and perhaps produce a happier life. If I married my fiance and he started hitting me I'd like to know I had the right to leave him. Have the opposition considered children in this? I know people who have divorced because their husband or wife's physical violence had turned toward the children. Would you sit by and watch your child be beaten just because your religion said so?

People should have their freedom and should not be forced to be eternally wed to someone who they can not look at without feeling angry. Those who despise each other should not be forced together. It is like getting concrete and glass and smashing them against each other. The glass will break and the concrete will have bits on it that are shattered. Side: support

If you would do such a thing, doesn't it make the Philippines less unique than it is? A question in mind as few presume before they even agreed on this: will the Divorce Bill affect any lives of Filipinos? It's just a delusional stuff that the government wants to experiment with to see if we can fit in the modern century, or so I think. Side: Against
If disallowing divorce is a unique stance, have you thought about why it is so rare? Why have most countries legalised divorce? There are good reasons for it. And I'm sure it would affect citizens' lives - specifically, it'd affect the life of any married person who wants to get out of their marriage, and also their friends and family. Side: support

I will give you a scenerio: You are married and being physically or mentally abused would you stay in that marriage because you took a vow for better or for worse? And basically saying I am going to die for this fool to show how much they can hurt me? If you are miserable after a few years and there is no more love so you stay in that marriage because you took a vow that makes absolutely no sense? Side: support

If you are miserable after a few years and there is no more love so you stay in that marriage because you took a vow that makes absolutely no sense? If you think about it, from a religious perspective, the perspective I assume this debate is asserting, then it is cruelty in the highest order to force this level of misery on someone, just another reason why religious dogma is injurious. Side: support
Will the Filipinos being affected if the divorce bill would be submitted? let us presume that we would support the divorce bill but, would it change the uniqueness of the Philippines? let us presume that it would, of course it would because we are unique because we mark our words and we keep our promises and vows to God.

This is all just broad generalization, you can not speak for every Filipino person, the very fact that there is a divorce bill being proposed will show a public demand for such. I also don't see how it will affect the "uniqueness" of the Filipino people, it (uniqueness) hasn't been affected in any other society why would it be in the Philippines? Side: support

I know that many agreed for the divorce bill, but the government should be relative of the situation. I disagree because of what will happen to the lives of Filipinos. Divorce is a sin, to God and to others, as for me I'm very religious, I believe that divorce should not be implemented in the Philippines because we are known for our values possessed throughout time.

I disagree because of what will happen to the lives of Filipinos. What? because they may have a chance at directing their own happiness? Divorce is a sin, to God and to others, This should have no bearing on man-made law, and why is it important anyway, if divorce is legal it does not change the fact that it is against the church. How about "you" don't get divorced because "you" don't agree with it, but "you" keep "your" sanctimonious religious views out of everyone else's business. I believe that divorce should not be implemented in the Philippines because we are known for our values possessed throughout time. Sorry to burst your bubble mate, but known by who? I've never heard or seen anything that exclaims "Oh those Filipinos, if there is one thing I know about them it's they've got great values" I've heard of Human rights violations and warlords, but traditional values, not your international strong point.
