The Opinion

In this blog entry, I gathered some of the opinions about divorce on Twitter.

I think this would be helpful. Other people's opinion are important. I believe that in order to get the best result, we should see all the sides of the issue.

Here are some of the opinions that can be found on Twitter, a social networking site that offers micro blogging.

Now that Malta legalized it, the only country that doesn't allow divorce is the Philippines. Come on Gabriela do your thing!

Is there a need to pass a Divorce Bill?

Kapunan: Opposition to divorce is the hypocrisy of congressmen who want to have their wives and keep their mistresses. #harapan

May naghihiwalay talaga. Pag malabo ang terms, MAS kawawa ang anak. Lilinawin ng divorce terms ang arrangement of responsibilities. Klaro.

#harapan, #ibasura, #ipasa. ang kailangan ay ayusin muna ang pagkatao ng isang tao para maibsan na ang mga hindi magagandang gawain ng tao.

Humans are just humans. Who they think is the "one" may not be anymore 10 years into married life. #ipasa

Keeping a family together when there is a poisoned or totally broken down marriage does not protect the family at all. #ipasa #divorce

Annulment is possible though.

There were 8,282 annulment cases in 2010. And countless others that don't get annulled anymore and just separate. This is already happening

@ml895 i do i live in the philippines, we don't have divorce but we have annulment which totally different

Philippines only country (aside from Vatican City) that does not legalize divorce.

Malta voted "Yes" to divorce. Does that mean the Philippines is the only place left where divorce is still unlawful? #fb

Prior to 1947, we had divorce in the Philippines. The late Senator Arturo Tolentino was a divorcée.

Woah, RH bill now, divorce? Is Philippines ready for the modern world?

marvinleetang May 29, 2011 at 18:40

@ml895 Hmmn I actually don't want divorce to be legal here in the Philippines...

jexplore May 29, 2011 at 22:04

divorce in the Philippines would be useless if the ex husband could not afford to pay the alimony

loidita May 29, 2011 at 22:11

The Philippines is now the only nation without divorce. It's time, c'mon honorable Congressmen and Senators!

barnabychuck May 29, 2011 at 22:20

Every fellow Asian I know has the same reaction when I tell them #Divorce is illegal in the #Philippines. "What. The. Fuck?"

flipcritic May 29, 2011 at 22:19

@momblogger @bethangsioco Guys, di pa nga tapos ang laban sa RH...you wanna take on the church again on another uber-sensitive issue?

blogie May 29, 2011 at 22:20

Haha! Nainggit lang sa Malta. :) but seriously, bills have been filed fr 9th congress yata. @blogie @momblogger

bethangsioco May 29, 2011 at 22:24

@momblogger not many people know but the Bible does grant divorce on ONLY ONE condition: adultery..just cant remember the exact verse

Thoughts on Divorce

@sisanipepe I don't see why divorce is evil and will destroy the family while annulment is totally okay. They achieve the exact same thing.

Muwu May 29, 2011 at 23:28

“@flipcritic: Why no #Divorce in #Philippines? Because it's another money maker 4 Catholic Church.” Religion=controlling the masses!

HeadlessGal May 29, 2011 at 22:39

Some don't believe in divorce

I'm supporting the Philippines as the only country not legalizing divorce. I believe in the sanctity of marriage. Malta said YES, PHL NEVER.

BlinkingBadge May 29, 2011 at 23:07

@itsJohnTiu i don't think divorce should be legalized in the Philippines..

jettorias May 29, 2011 at 23:07

The future of divorce.

I predict that in the next 15 years, the Philippines will be the only country in the world that still bans divorce, condoms & gay marriage.

davesi May 29, 2011 at 23:16

@flipcritic @momblogger Superficially moral. In reality, the core is just as rotten as anywhere else in the world

You can share your thoughts on HB No. 1799, the Divorce Bill as well. The full view of the Bill can be found here

I featured this site and had briefly discussed the bill in one of my previous blog.
