...eventhough we are living in a xtian country. If divorce is the way to save every married women who are suffering from morally, physically and mentally abuse. For me yes!!.para sa anu pa ang pagtitiis nyong dalawa.. Kung pareho naman kayung di masaya!!..pakawalan nalang ang isa't- isa. Para wala ng masasaktan.. Kay sa naman araw2x. Kau nag aaway.. Baka mamaya hahantung pa yan sa pananakit at patayan For me yes ..because I do believe that if a relationship doesn't work at all..why you need to stay.and spend the rest of your life that you are not happy with it... Dapat legalize na yan ..kasi meron naman tayong anullment which is very unfair para sa mahihirap kasi mayayaman lang nakaka-afford.. unfair law yang anullment para sa walang pera ..unlike pag may divorced mas affordable at mas madali para sa lahat.. As of 2003, it was recorded that 4 out of 25 marriages in the Philippines end up in Legal Separation. Other couples decide not to legalize their separation simply because they cannot afford it. This is one of the many reasons why many politicians are pro divorce. Divorce is the legal dissolution of a marriage by court or other competent bodies (Oxford, nd.). It is way cheaper than annulment and legal separation. Philippines is the only country in the world that does not allow divorce because the Church is against it. All countries including predominantly Catholic countries in the world like Spain, Poland, and Mexico permit divorce. Maybe the Church there has opposed it, but...

...Divorce Should Be Legalized in the Philippines Divorce should be legalized in the Philippines Divorce. The dissolution of marriage. The termination of a marital union. The cancelling and reorganizing of the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage. The dissolution of matrimony between a married couple. In more simpler terms, the end. The end of a couple’s marriage or their so called ‘forever.’ Within our fast-changing society, we are also susceptible to change. A change in our physique, our mind, our views, and even in our relations. One of the reasons why divorce is being implemented on other countries. They felt the change. The change in one’s marital association. Some, specially the hopeless romantic, say that their marriage is the epitome of their lives. But one’s life is never perfect unless we feel that it IS perfect. But what if that perfection turned into a living nightmare? Would you still be happy? Will you be oblivious with the things thrown in front of your face? Violence, infidelity, abandonment, and lies. These are my main reasons of supporting GABRIELA Women's Party representatives Luzviminda C. Ilagan and Emerenciana A. De Jesus with House Bill No. 1799, or an Act of Legalizing Divorce in the Philippines. An Act Introducing Divorce in the Philippines amending for the Purpose Title II, Articles 55 to 66 Inclusive and Article 26 of Executive Order of 209, as amended otherwise known as the Family Code of the Philippines and repelling Article 36 of the...

...…29pro-divorce ako. bakit natin pipilitin ang dalawang tao na magsama kung hindi na sila masaya sa isa't isa? iisa lang ang buhay natin sa mundo, hindi ba natin deserve na mabuhay ng masaya? people change. people fall out of love. it happens. why would you force people stagnate in an unhappy marriage that they no longer want? ang dami sa inyo na iniisip ang mga bata. guess what. minsan, mas magiging matino ang bata kung maghihiwalay ang magulang niya. gusto niyo ba talagang lumaki ang isang bata sa isang household kung saan puro sigaw at, malamang, violence? hindi ba mas dangerous iyon sa growth ng isang bata? wouldn't it be better for him to see his parents living happy, for him to be living in a happy and safe environment? also fuck the sanctity of marriage! nakatira tayo sa isang society na may reality shows tulad ng the bachelorette. kung saan ang mga taong hindi talaga magkakilala ay pwedeng magpakasal (as long as straight sila--but that's another bill for another time). hindi rin naman natutupad ang mga vows na sinasabi ng mag-asawa. it's a useless institution, valuable only because of the legal rights that come with it. annulment isn't enough. there is no alimony, no nothing. it's also expensive and so so hard to go through, which is something the poor--the people this bill would help--wouldn't/couldn't go through. we need this bill. we're living in the 21st century, not the 18th.

...STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEMS Divorce in the Philippines DEFINITION OF TERMS Divorce - an institutionalized arrangement for terminating the marriage relationship and allowing each partner the right to remarry. Marriage – is not a mere contract but an inviolable social institution. Adultery – is an act which is committed by a married woman who shall have sexual intercourse with a man not her husband. Concubinage – is on the part of a husband who shall keep a mistress in the conjugal dwelling or a certain dwelling place and hall have a sexual intercourse under scandalous circumstances with another woman not his wife. Absolute Divorce – is the type of divorce where the party has the right lawfully to marry again. HISTORY OF DIVORCE The term divorce is not foreign to Filipinos, whose forefathers in the pre-Spanish times, according to some historians, practiced it. History tells us that in 1912 that is during the American regime Act No. 2710 was passed providing for the granting of absolute divorce on the grounds of adultery, concubinage and personal violence. However, when the laws was implemented, a number of safeguards were taken to ensure the preservation of marital bond and to prevent abuses, such as filing for divorce could not be done until a year after having established adultery or concubinage and within five years after the date occurred. This measure was resorted to in order to give the spouses a chance for reconciliation it was still possible during the period...

...for anti-discrimination bill By Artemio Dumlao (The Philippine Star) Updated July 05, 2011 12:00 AM BAGUIO CITY ,Philippines – Christian groups led by the Catholic Charismatic Christian Movement believes that the same sex marriage controversy is a “grand design” by some sectors to push House Bill 1483 (Anti-Discrimination bill) filed by Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Teodoro Casiño. According to the group, the same sex unions officiated by the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) here on June 29 have been pitting family members against each other, the opposing Catholic Church and other Christian groups versus the proponents and even government officials caught in the controversy. Alexander Bangsoy, a member of the charismatic movement in the city and nearby Benguet, said the diverse reactions to the same sex marriages were part of a plot to stir debate and evoke discriminatory attitude against the third sex to gather sympathy for HB 1483. “It set the stage for them to say they are being discriminated, though (they) are not,” Bangsoy said. The group vowed to oppose HB 1483 by urging Baguio Rep. Bernardo Vergara, Benguet Rep. Ronald Cosalan, and all other congressmen to drop the measure. They have also taken their cause to social networking sites like Facebook (No To Same Sex Marriage in the Philippines group) and have initiated a signature campaign to counter the growing popularity of the “unions.” “We should oppose HB 1483,” Bangsoy, now a pastor, told the handful...

...out-of-State.” (Obergefell et al. v. Hodges, Director, Ohio Department Of Health, et al., 576 U.S. __ No. 14-556 (2015) making same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states, giving them as Justice Anthony Kennedy said “equal dignity in the eyes of the law”. Though most are happy with the decision, there are some who are not glad with it. In his dissent Chief Justice John Roberts believes that it is not the Supreme Court’s duty to decide whether a law should be passed or not. “Judges have power to say what the law is, not what it should be” he adds “the Constitution authorized courts to exercise neither force nor will but merely judgment.” And because of the decision that the court made, people who are against same sex marriage will be forced to accept it. Many conservatives are disappointed with the decision; some of them are moving to make a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage. In an interview, Republican Presidential Candidate and Florida Governor Jeb Bush said that "In a country as diverse as ours, good people who have opposing views should be able to live side by side. It is now crucial that as a country we protect religious freedom and the right of conscience and also not discriminate". (LoBianco, T. (2015). GOP 2016 hopefuls seek footing on marriage ruling.) Because of this ruling, there have been rumors about legalizing same sex...

...“Do you agree to legalize the same-sex marriage here in the Philippines?” “Marriage is about LOVE, not GENDER”, this is what the gays and lesbians wanted to say. Nowadays, this issue, the same-sex marriage is viral in the whole world. But, what is same-sex marriage? It is defined as a union between two people who are of the same gender or biological sex. Since 2001, ten nations and other jurisdictions have made this type of union legal. Whether or not to recognize such marriages remains a source of debate as far as civil rights, political and social issues go. Introduction of same-sex marriage laws has varied by jurisdiction, being variously accomplished through legislative change to marriage laws, a court ruling based on constitutional guarantees of equality, or by direct popular vote (via ballot initiative or referendum). The recognition of same-sex marriage is a political and social issue, and also a religious issue in many countries and debates continue to arise over whether people in same-sex relationships should be allowed marriage or some similar status (a civil union). Same-sex marriage can provide those in same-sex relationships who pay their taxes with government services and make financial demands on them comparable to those afforded to and required of those in opposite-sex marriages. Same-sex marriage also gives them legal protections such as inheritance and hospital visitation rights. Various faith communities around the world support allowing those of the...

...Human rights violations Project in Social Studies Mick Joshua Ilano IV-Mercy Human rights violation in the Philippines. On January 18, 2013, Aquino signed a landmark law, Republic Act No. 10361, designed to protect the rights of the country’s estimated 1.9 million domestic workers. The Philippines also ratified the International Labor Organization’s Domestic Workers Convention No. 189, which would help protect the rights of the 1.5 million Filipino domestic workers abroad. The Aquino administration, however, has not made significant progress on its pledge to expedite the investigation and prosecution extrajudicial killings, torture, and enforced disappearances, among other serious violations of human rights. The number of extrajudicial killings has dropped significantly since Aquino took office, but politically motivated killings are still frequently reported and the murder of petty criminals by “death squads” in urban areas continues unabated. Only two cases of extrajudicial killings have resulted in convictions in the past three years, and even in those cases, the individuals believed most responsible for the killings have not faced justice. The government took some steps to set up an inter-agency committee in 2013 to help investigate and prosecute high-profile extrajudicial killings, but it was not yet operational at time of writing. Harassment of and violence against leftist political activists and environmentalists continues. Insurgency and Ethnic Conflicts In...

...Third Gender – Equality and Truth http://caissg.org/third-gender-equality-truth/ It is a brave and honest person who can stand apart from the masses and openly challenge its most treasured beliefs. ~ Donna Evans As humans, we understand a little about our complex bodies even with the greatest medical science. It is what it is. Then why lie? Secrecy and stigma are worse than the condition itself. Without truth and transparency, it is difficult to pass laws, provide equal rights, offer support and help for all. We need to have an environment which encourages truth, tolerance, and respect for all. Are there only two genders or is there a third gender?Regardless of which side of the issue you are on, we can all agree thattruth is always the right option and secrecy and lying have no place for a long-term solution in a civilized society. There are several issues withsecrecy and lying. First it is wrong. Second it does not take into account the feelings and trauma of the person being lied to. Third it could lead to criminal acts such as if lying is a crime under oath. What are the bioethics for disclosure to spouses? It is NOT about gender identity or it is NOT about the sexual identity, it is about the HUMAN identity which is to say the truth. As a human being, everyone deserves a feeling of “belonging”, understanding and acceptance. Without recognition of the truth, how will an intersex person marry legally or how can an intersex couple (who are infertile) adopt a child legally...

...There was also an increase in the lumber industry, coal production, and tobacco growth. Although, the majority of southern farmers were not flourishing, which caused sharecropping and tendancy to increase between blacks and whites. The bourbons perfected a political alliance with northern conservatives and economic alliance with northern capitalists. They also reduced state expenditures and public debt. Attitudes about race became more strongly felt and the prospect of an electoral alliance between poor whites and blacks that could threaten the power structure became a possibility, so the southern states came up with various ways to disenfranchise blacks. Also, “Jim Crow” laws were enacted to mandate public separation of the races. Legalized segregation reinforced the notions of white racial superiority and African-American inferiority, creating an atmosphere that encouraged violence, and during the 1890s lynching’s of blacks rose significantly. Define the New West. After 1865, the federal government encouraged western settlement and economic exploitation. The transcontinental railroads opened the western half of the nation to economic development and created an interconnected national market. Needing rapid communication, companies built telegraph lines along the railroad as the track was laid. Completion of the railroad substantially accelerated populating the West, while contributing to the decline of territory controlled by the Native American’s in these regions...

...Preface There is no doubt that we are in the midst of a great revolution in the history of women. The evidence is everywhere; the voice of women is increasingly heard in Parliament, courts and in the streets. While women in the West had to fight for over a century to get some of their basic rights, like the right to vote, the Constitution of India gave women equal rights with men from the beginning. Unfortunately, women in this country are mostly unaware of their rights because of illiteracy and the oppressive tradition. Names like Kalpana Chawla: The Indian born, who fought her way up into NASA and was the first women in space, and Indira Gandhi: The Iron Woman of India was the Prime Minister of the Nation, Beauty Queens like Aishwarya Rai and Susmita Sen, and Mother Teresa are not representative of the condition of Indian women. Over 32000 murders, 19,000 rapes, 7500 dowry deaths and 36500 molestation cases are the violent crimes reported in India in 2006 against women. There are many instances of crime especially against women go unreported in India. These are figures released by the National Crime Records Bureau recently. While Madhya Pradesh is worst off among the states, the national capital New Delhi continues to hold on to its reputation of being the most unsafe city in India. Delhi takes the top slot for crimes ranging from murders and rapes to dowry deaths and abductions. It reflects country's law and order situation when its capital is a cauldron of crime. Instead...
