B. For the Mrs. Doubtfire viewers
1. What is your stand in the topic of divorce in the Philippines? Should it be implemented or not? Is it more of a solution, or a problem?
* I think that approving divorcement here in the Philippines is a violation directly to God and is a very heavy sin should I say. Second, it’s the next stage if the “RH Bill” is to be approved which is another violation to God that I think those involved already know that. I don’t know why they are blind for I think they’re “CORRECTING A BAD THING WITH A BAD THING ALSO”. It should not be implemented for it shows only that couples can play and just quit and give up on a relationship which for me is immoral. It is very immoral to divorce for all those years, it only shows that people are okay to be willing to violate God’s law just so they can be followed. I’m sad because I might turn that sometime in the future; they should think of the effects to younger people who look up to them (People Involved) and might turn to them in the future. For me, its more of a problem and never a solution, nuff said.
2. Site the positive and negative effects of divorce to the couple and their children.
*I don’t want to site positive effects because I’m against it and my brain won’t allow me to generate ideas that I didn’t imagine and realize so I will just give the negative effects, hope sir you’ll understand. The negative effects for me are as follows:
- There will come a time that the children will be socially separated in time for they are scared or shy to talk about families because their family are broken.
- The son/daughter will feel anguished and very angry at either the mother and the father.
- In some, there is a conflict in financial for some parents don’t supply needs after the divorce. I know this for my close friend is in this position. He told me that it is very hard to absorb that his mother is the only one working and supplying them for their father left.
- They will not know their father or mother for in some cases after divorce, the other one leaves resulting in to a broken family

3. How would you describe Daniel Hillard’s affection for his children? Is it really psychologically insane as it is claimed to be?
*The love of Daniel Hillard to his children is at peak. He loves them so much that he would do anything just so he can be with them. He had that much effort that some parent wouldn’t do or couldn’t do. For me, he is not psychologically insane; I call it “fatherly love”. If I’m in his shoes, I would do that also.
4. What alternative way of handling marital disputes other than divorce could you suggest? How is your solution a better alternative?
*The couple should talk to each other and considerations should be made like the welfare of their children, the social effect on their families, and why the love between them dispersed. I’m not already a parent but if I were a parent living today and knowing a certain law is at pending, I would contradict it if I had that much power to do that. I don’t know why most of the parents today don’t talk about it. I’m very angry at couples who separate but are engaged already/married already. I mean what’s wrong with them? For me they’re just a disgrace on future couples. They look up to them! We look up to them! Yet they want annulment to be approved?
* I want change in this world, well maybe in my country. It’s hard I know, but if we work together and solve problems with positive things, I don’t see any reason to suffer, feel pains, and troubles in the past years to come
