Separation Legalizing Divorce in The Phi

Separation: Legalizing Divorce in the Philippines

Philippines is known as a religious country, in fact the Philippines ranked 10th in


religiosity out of the 40 countries surveyed according to the 2015 Global Attitudes survey
of the United States-based Pew Research Center. However, a lot of Filipino people
demand to legalize divorce in the Philippines. As we all know, the dissolution of marriage
violates the holiness or sacredness of matrimony. Divorce refers to the canceling or
reorganizing of the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage, thus dissolving the bonds
of matrimony between a married couple under the rule of law of the particular country or
state. It affects the living condition of an individual especially the children who are involved
in the said issue. Thus, legalizing divorce in the Philippines should not be approve and
implemented.
Legalizing divorce increases the possibility of separation of families in our country
because people tend to depend on divorce. According to Dr. Nikki Martinez, Psy.D.,
LCPC, The divorce rate in this country is approximately 50% and is seems to have
become more commonplace that people are willing to get a divorce for a myriad of
reasons, instead of working things out. Many children will be facing life without the
governance of his or her family. It is a must not to legalize divorce because couple may
not take marriage as a serious matter and they will take advantage of divorce. According
to one of our respondents, “Divorce is not a solution”. But The lack of a divorce law in the
Philippines may be one of the reasons fewer Filipinos are getting married, according to
Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman, the author of a bill introducing divorce in the country. That’s
why couples should think enough before they engage into marriage to avoid separation.
Divorce should not be legalized because of the consequences it may bring to
families and couples who want to build up a family. It can also give them encouragement
to examine and to ensure their relationship before having a family. We should always
remember that we must ensure our future first so that we cannot have a shattered
relationship with the person we love and also, our future children cannot experience a
broken family. Think hard. Is Divorce REALLY your only option? And if it is, Are you willing
to have a broken family?
