00:00 Here's the news, my fellow newsmen.
00:02 The Absolute Divorce Bill has been approved by the committee of Cerrado.
00:07 Yes, that's one of the issues that has been long-standing here in the Philippines.
00:13 Yes, it's been a long time.
00:14 In fact, in the report of the Senate Committee on Women, Children and Family Relations,
00:20 the basis of the Absolute Divorce was expanded.
00:22 Just like if the couple has not been together for five years.
00:26 If there is a reason before or after marriage, irreconcilable differences,
00:32 or if the relationship cannot be fixed,
00:35 the same is the physical abuse and the legal separation based on the Family Code.
00:42 The court's decision includes the financial capacity,
00:47 the authority and proper custody arrangement if the couple has children.
00:53 In March, the committee approved the version of the Divorce Bill.
00:58 What do you think about this?
01:01 Me, as a pro-divorce, it depends on the circumstances,
01:07 but there are conflicts that happen in the house.
01:10 Of course, it's like irreconcilable differences.
01:17 They say that if you are hurt once, you will be hurt again.
01:23 What else is the visa of marriage?
01:26 Many women especially, they are really doubting their own home
01:32 just because it's very difficult to get married and it's very expensive.
01:36 They say that you need more than 200,000 pesos to get married.
01:41 And it's very long in court.
01:44 So, if it's a divorce, the question is,
01:47 will it make the expenses lighter?
01:52 Because here in the Philippines and in the Vatican City,
01:54 for example, divorce is not legal.
01:57 It's just us and the Vatican City that are not legal.
02:01 Yes, all the couples in the Vatican City are still in the divorce.
02:06 In terms of religion, it's always based on the Bible.
02:12 Whatever is included, it's forbidden to separate.
02:17 So, that's the respect for religion and beliefs.
02:22 It's very difficult to balance.
02:24 That's why it's been a long time to talk about it.
02:27 Until the camera, then it will be gone again.
02:29 It's been a few times.
02:31 But that's what some of our religious people are saying.
02:35 If we talk about divorce,
02:38 it's impossible that God will fix it.
02:42 For our other reporters,
02:45 they tend to forget their family problems.
02:47 That's why they have different opinions on divorce.
02:51 My daughter is a woman.
02:54 If she's going to be in a relationship,
03:00 then it's better to divorce than to have another woman.
03:03 But for me, as a father,
03:08 I will fight for my daughter.
03:11 Why would I separate?
03:14 If I can.
03:16 Divorce is really difficult here.
03:18 That's why many people are moving to other countries.
03:20 They want to get a divorce there,
03:22 because it's faster.
03:23 But here, the process is slow and there are a lot of expenses.
03:29 I'm not aggressive, sir.
03:31 Because if you have a family and you're going to divorce,
03:36 your family will be sad.
03:38 Just talk to them about fixing it.
03:40 So that divorce won't happen.
03:43 But for artists, those divorces will only happen.
03:48 Oh.
