Opposition Senator Risa Hontiveros on Monday, July 11, said she is prepared to cross party lines to ensure the passage into law of the measure seeking to legalize divorce in the Philippines.
Hontiveros made the assurance after neophyte Sen. Robin Padilla expressed his readiness to defend the divorce bill, and reiterated his favoring divorce in the Philippines does not mean he is anti-family.
“As in the past six years, I am always able to cross party lines and unite with other senators to push important laws,” Hontiveros said in a statement. She also said the panel can include the records of the hearings and the committee report regarding the divorce bill during the 18th Congress to expedite the proceedings.
“It will have no impact on healthy marriages—it only serves to help those stuck in unions that have become irreparably toxic, broken or abusive,” added the senator.
