Senator Risa Hontiveros once again called for the passage of Senate Bill No. 147 or the Dissolution of Marriage Act, especially for the sake of women who are victims of abuse and violence.
“Sabi nga ng iba, 'Isang papel na lang ang naguugnay sa kanila.' Bakit pa ipagkakait sa kanila ang kalayaan at hayaang makulong sa isang relasyon na mapanakit, walang pagmamahalan at pagpapahalaga para sa isa’t-isa,” said Hontiveros as she chaired the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations, and Gender Equality during a Tuesday hearing.
The senator mentioned the Philippines was the only country that did not have divorce aside from the Vatican. But this was not something we should be proud of. "The quality of family life for spouses who are already in an unhealthy marital relationship is not what was envisioned by the State as something that needs protecting," he said.
