Senator Robin Padilla on Sunday rejected allegations that the bill he filed seeking to legalize divorce in the Philippines is meant to destroy Filipino marriages.
Neophyte In a Facebook Live, Padilla clarified that the divorce bill he filed actually aims to protect the marriage—including the woman, man, and their children.
That is why under his bill, Padilla said a petition for divorce may be filed if: the husband or wife cannot fulfill his/her obligation in the marriage; both parties in the marriage have irreconcilable differences; the marriage was annulled abroad; the husband or wife is presumed dead in accordance with Articles 390 and 391 of the Civil Code of the Philippines; and if a party is convicted of violating the “Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act.
Padilla also said the bill also provides for a “mandatory cooling-off period” after the petition is filed.
