00:23.0
At lumabas that the vote of the congress
00:26.5
was very similar to yung sentimento ng ating mga kababayan.
00:30.4
50% of Filipinos are actually in favor of divorce
00:34.3
with 30% not favoring it
00:36.9
at may 20% na hindi pa sigurado where they stand on it.
00:40.3
Kaya ngayon, pag-usapan natin itong divorce bill na ito
00:42.7
dahil nasa senado na siya
00:44.0
at inaantay na natin yung hearing regarding this
00:46.5
at yung pagbaboto ng ating mga senador.
00:48.5
Ngayon, before we talk about ano ba yung mga pinagkaiba nilang lahat,
00:51.8
let's first look at the facts.
00:53.8
Unang-una, alam mo ba na
00:55.3
Philippines is the only country aside from the Vatican
00:58.7
na illegal pa ang divorce.
01:01.3
Sa Vatican, medyo naintindihan ko pa eh.
01:03.7
Pero sa Pilipinas, that's a different story.
01:06.4
Sa Pilipinas ngayon, meron ng annulment at legal separation.
01:10.4
Ngayon, tignan natin kung ano ba ang definition ng legal separation,
01:13.4
annulment at divorce.
01:14.7
Ang ibig sabihin ng legal separation ay
01:16.9
hiwalay kayo ng asawa mo pero mag-asawa pa rin kayo.
01:19.7
With annulment naman,
01:21.1
ibig sabihin nun ay yung marriage nyo ay null and void.
01:25.3
Kumbaga, i-de-dissolve na siya at parang hindi siya nangyari.
01:29.0
Parang na-erase na siya from history.
01:31.1
So, the marriage never happened.
01:33.4
Sa divorce naman, i-de-dissolve din yung marriage
01:35.9
pero may record pa rin of the marriage.
01:38.6
So, yun yung definition ng tatlong to.
01:40.7
So, ngayon, tignan naman natin kung ano ba yung grounds for legal separation.
01:45.6
So, ito ang mga grounds for legal separation.
01:47.8
Unang-una, physical violence against your partner
01:51.1
or your child or the child of your partner.
01:54.2
Physical violence.
01:55.2
Or pressure to change religious or political beliefs.
01:59.2
So, nung panahon ng election,
02:00.4
kung maaaring nag-aaway kayo between BBM or Duterte or Lenny,
02:05.1
pwede mo actually hiwalayin yung partner mo
02:06.8
kung pinipilit ka niya mag-switch to their political belief.
02:10.3
Another ground for legal separation,
02:12.4
if your partner is trying to convince you
02:14.9
or anyone in your family to go into prostitution.
02:18.0
Next, kung na-convict yung partner mo
02:20.9
tapos makukulong siya for more than six years,
02:23.6
pwede mo na siya hiwalayin.
02:25.2
Another one, drug addiction
02:27.1
o kaya gambling or alcohol addiction.
02:30.5
At isa pa, kung yung partner mo ay bading,
02:33.0
pwede mo din hiwalayin.
02:34.4
O kaya nalaman mo yung partner mo ay may asawa na pala dati,
02:37.7
pwede mo siyang hiwalayin.
02:38.9
Isa pa, marital infidelity
02:40.5
o kaya may kabit yung partner mo,
02:42.4
pwede mo siyang hiwalayin.
02:43.6
O kaya magkaanak siya sa labas,
02:45.0
that's also grounds for legal separation.
02:46.8
Or if your partner tried to kill you
02:48.8
or anyone in your family,
02:50.3
that's grounds for legal separation.
02:52.1
And last but not least,
02:53.2
kung biglang iniwang ka lang na partner mo,
02:55.9
hindi siya nagsabi gusto siya nagpunta
02:57.2
for at least one year,
02:58.8
grounds na yan for legal separation.
03:00.5
Ngayon, tignan naman natin
03:01.5
kung ano ba yung grounds for annulment.
03:04.7
mas konti yung grounds na pwede.
03:07.7
kung nag-asawa kayo with lack of parental consent,
03:10.5
pwede kayo mag-annul.
03:12.2
Pangalawa, kung may nabalyo sa inyo,
03:13.8
pwede kayo maghiwalay.
03:14.9
O kaya nag-asawa kayo through force
03:17.0
or intimidation or coercion,
03:19.0
pwede din kayo ma-annul.
03:21.6
o kaya kung may baog sa inyo.
03:23.5
And last but not least,
03:26.2
pwede mo nang i-annul yung marriage mo
03:27.9
pag may STD yung partner mo.
03:29.7
So, ito yung pinagkaiba ng annulment sa divorce.
03:32.6
Kasi napansin mo sa annulment,
03:34.1
if you were in a physically abusive relationship,
03:36.5
hindi yun grounds for annulment.
03:38.5
So, hindi ka pwede maghiwalay at mag-asawa ulit.
03:41.1
Kahit na inaabuso ka na
03:42.4
at ginugulpi ka na ng asawa mo.
03:44.4
Which I find very interesting.
03:46.2
Although I found out that there's a way around it,
03:48.4
pag physically abused ka,
03:49.7
pwede mong gamitin yung insanity issue
03:52.2
na nabalyo yung asawa mo
03:53.9
kaya ka ginugulpi.
03:55.2
Tapos pwede kayo mag-annul.
03:56.5
Pero that's hard to prove eh.
03:57.9
Because may iba naman,
03:58.9
hindi naman sila balyo,
04:00.3
pero abusive lang talaga, toxic.
04:02.8
So, that is a very good reason to get a divorce
04:05.9
when you're in an abusive relationship.
04:08.9
This is why okay ang divorce.
04:12.0
you can get divorced
04:13.1
for any of the reasons for annulment
04:15.4
and for legal separation.
04:17.7
So, lahat ng grounds for legal separation
04:20.1
is also a grounds for divorce.
04:23.7
kung may psychological,
04:25.9
o kaya yun na nga,
04:27.3
hindi na nga sane yung tao,
04:29.2
hindi na nag-iisip ng tama,
04:31.2
that's grounds for a divorce as well.
04:33.1
Another one is irreconcilable difference.
04:35.3
Kung talagang ang toxic yung relationship mo,
04:37.3
hindi kayo magkasundo with anything,
04:39.3
talagang hindi na mahaayos,
04:40.7
that's grounds for a divorce.
04:44.0
whether physical or emotional abuse,
04:45.9
that's grounds for a divorce.
04:47.4
Another ground for a divorce
04:48.4
is if your partner decides to have a sex change,
04:50.8
pwede kayo mag-divorce.
04:52.0
And last but not least,
04:53.1
if you guys were separated
04:54.2
for more than 5 years,
04:55.2
that's grounds for a divorce.
04:57.3
So nakikita mo dito
04:58.2
that divorce covers a lot more ground
05:00.0
than the current laws provide
05:01.7
with annulment and legal separation.
05:04.1
Kaya nakapagtataka sa akin
05:05.5
kung bakit may mga tao pa
05:07.5
na against divorce.
05:09.2
So ang mga narinig kong rason
05:12.0
Number one reason that I hear
05:13.3
is that it's against their religious beliefs
05:15.8
or their religious principles.
05:18.4
Ang point mo with religion
05:19.5
is that you're saying that
05:20.7
what God put together,
05:22.2
man cannot separate, right?
05:25.2
isipin mo lang ito.
05:27.0
na-dissolve din yung marriage.
05:28.2
It's the same thing.
05:29.4
Actually, it's even worse with annulment.
05:31.3
You not only dissolved it,
05:32.8
you pretended na hindi nangyari
05:34.5
yung marriage nyo.
05:36.1
So we already have annulment,
05:37.9
pero divorce wala.
05:39.5
It's the same thing.
05:40.4
It's the same dissolution of marriage.
05:42.6
Unless you're also against annulment.
05:44.5
So that's why for me,
05:45.5
it doesn't make sense
05:46.3
if you say to me,
05:47.4
you're okay with annulment
05:49.6
yeah, we have annulment
05:50.5
pero hindi pwedeng divorce.
05:52.2
Kasi it's the same dissolution of marriage.
05:54.3
The only difference
05:56.7
pretending that there was no marriage ever.
05:59.3
While divorce says na
06:01.2
may record kayo of the marriage
06:02.7
and it did happen
06:03.6
and you just chose to dissolve the marriage.
06:06.8
Which is, I think,
06:08.6
rather than the other one.
06:10.2
Where it seems like
06:11.2
you're pretending na
06:12.2
hindi nangyari yung marriage.
06:13.9
O, yung isa pang rason na binigay
06:15.3
ay sinasabi ng mga ibang tao
06:17.2
na pag may divorce daw,
06:18.7
mas mabilis daw mag-aasawa yung mga tao
06:20.9
at hindi daw nasiseryosohin yung marriage daw.
06:23.9
I don't think so eh
06:24.9
because if you think about it,
06:26.3
getting married is a very big decision.
06:29.0
My God, yung wedding pa lang eh.
06:30.6
Tapos yung marriage pa,
06:32.2
being bound to someone like that
06:34.0
is a very big decision.
06:35.4
Tignan naman natin
06:36.2
kung ano ba yung mga binigay na rason
06:37.8
ng ating mga senador
06:38.8
sa mga nag-o-oppose
06:40.3
dito sa divorce bill.
06:41.8
Kasi it's right now in the Senate
06:43.5
kaya importante malaman natin
06:44.9
kung ano ba yung mga rason
06:45.6
na binibigay nila.
06:47.0
Right now, we have seven senators
06:48.5
that are favorable towards divorce.
06:50.8
Si Sen. Riza Ontiveros,
06:52.6
si Sen. Rafi Tulfo,
06:54.9
Sen. Robin Padilla,
06:56.1
Sen. Pia Cayetano,
06:57.6
Sen. Aimee Marcos,
06:59.7
and Sen. J.V. Herzito.
07:01.3
Ang mga against naman sa divorce
07:02.7
is si Sen. Jingoy Estrada,
07:05.6
Sen. Joel Villanueva,
07:07.0
Sen. Chizas Cudero,
07:08.4
and Sen. Mig Zubiri,
07:10.5
at si Sen. Cynthia Villar.
07:12.3
So tignan natin kung ano yung mga opinion
07:14.1
na itong mga ito.
07:14.8
For Sen. Villanueva,
07:16.2
medyo naintindihan ko kasi
07:17.2
anak siya ng pastor,
07:18.8
so kaya kailangan niya panindigan
07:20.5
yung religious doctrine nila.
07:22.6
And I said medyo ah,
07:24.4
hindi completely,
07:25.5
medyo lang naintindihan ko.
07:27.4
si Sen. Zubiri naman,
07:29.5
sabi niya because he's a conservative,
07:31.6
therefore he has to vote
07:32.7
against the divorce bill.
07:34.7
Si Sen. Cynthia Villar naman,
07:36.2
ang reason niya for opposing the divorce bill is,
07:39.1
sabi niya happy naman daw marriage niya,
07:40.7
happy naman daw buhay niya,
07:41.9
kaya hindi daw niya kayang masuportahan ng divorce bill.
07:44.1
Okay, yan ang hindi nag-make sense
07:45.7
sa lahat ng mga rason na narinig ko.
07:47.5
Sen. Cynthia Villar,
07:48.7
hindi dahil happy yung marriage mo,
07:50.7
na i-o-oppose mo yung mga ibang tao
07:52.5
para maging masaya din sila sa buhay nila.
07:54.4
And this is the reason why ako,
07:56.6
I'm for the divorce bill.
07:58.4
At dahil yung ating mga batas ngayon
08:00.2
ay hindi sapat para matulungan ng mga couples
08:02.9
that are in toxic or abusive relationships.
08:07.4
annulment does not cover abusive and toxic relationships.
08:11.3
At maraming mga tao na makikinabang dito.
08:14.2
Ngayon, may mga senador naman na nagsasabi na
08:16.1
gawin na lang daw nilang mas mabilis yung annulment.
08:18.4
Kasi ang isang issue natin ngayon
08:19.7
ay mahirap magpa-annul.
08:21.1
It costs you between 150,000 to up to
08:24.4
300,000 pesos just to get annulled.
08:27.1
And I've heard horror stories of it reaching
08:29.3
10 to 20 years para lang magpa-annul.
08:32.4
It's a very traumatic and tedious process to get annulled.
08:36.5
Divorce makes it less expensive
08:39.2
and makes the process a lot easier for people
08:42.2
and less traumatic.
08:44.1
Ngayon, sa mga nagsasabi na
08:45.8
di pabilisin na lang yung proseso ng annulment,
08:48.7
kung ganun, ilagay mo lahat ng grounds for divorce
08:52.0
And then make a condition that annulment
08:54.1
has to be done within 1 to 2 years
08:55.7
or something like that.
08:57.0
That yun ang condition na dapat matapos siya
08:58.7
within 1 to 2 years.
08:60.0
Or else, maa-annul na yan or something.
09:02.4
Pero then again, di ba, yun nga yung difference
09:04.7
na nakakalimutan natin lahat sa annulment.
09:07.5
We're pretending that the marriage didn't exist.
09:10.0
With divorce, at least there's a record of it
09:12.4
actually happening and you just have the option
09:15.0
to dissolve the marriage and get married again.
09:18.2
And the bottom line for me is this.
09:20.0
Number one, sa mga Christians or Catholics
09:22.3
that are saying it's against the religion,
09:24.1
you know, mayroon akong basic concept of religion
09:26.7
that God is love and God loves you
09:28.4
and God loves all of us.
09:29.9
Alam mo kung totoo yan at naniniwala ka dyan,
09:31.9
that God loves you, then God wants you to be happy.
09:34.4
And that means that God does not want to put you
09:37.7
So if you're in a marriage that's unhappy,
09:40.4
that you're being abused and it's toxic,
09:42.6
and it's actually destroying you as a person,
09:45.4
your partner, your family, and your kids,
09:47.8
I am sure God does not want that for you
09:50.0
because God loves you.
09:51.0
So with that basic principle,
09:52.9
I believe God would,
09:54.1
prefer for you to be divorced
09:56.1
and find a partner that you'd be happy with
09:58.7
than be stuck in a marriage that you're not happy with.
10:02.1
At naniniwala ako doon sa basic concept
10:04.0
of God is love and God loves you.
10:05.9
So yun, yan ang isang punto na pinaniniwalaan ko
10:09.1
being a Catholic myself,
10:10.7
that I think people should understand
10:12.3
about what is God and how love works
10:15.3
and how God loves all of you.
10:16.8
Next, yung mga nagsasabi that they're against it
10:19.3
because of their own beliefs,
10:21.0
sa mga tao na against the divorce bill,
10:23.0
especially the Senate,
10:24.1
or the ones in power that can make a difference.
10:27.2
Ito lang po masasabi ko sa inyo,
10:28.7
kung kayo po against kayo sa divorce,
10:30.6
huwag po niyong i-impose yung inyong paniniwala
10:33.1
sa mga ibang tao.
10:34.7
Kasi naniniwala ako sa basic concept
10:37.0
of freedom and basic human rights.
10:40.3
Pag hindi po niyo in-approve doon divorce bill,
10:42.8
ini-impose niyo yung inyong paniniwala sa ibang tao.
10:46.7
Pinipigil niyo yung mga ibang tao
10:48.3
na magkaroon ng maayos na buhay,
10:51.0
ng masaya na buhay,
10:52.1
ng buhay na hindi sila inaayos,
10:55.0
at sinasaktan ng kanilang partner.
10:57.7
lahat tayo may karapatan maging masaya sa buhay.
11:00.5
At kung wala namang nasasaktan na tao dito,
11:02.8
ibigay na po niyo to
11:03.8
sa mga taong nangangailangan ng bill na to.
11:06.3
At sa mga kababaihan that's against the divorce bill,
11:09.3
alam ba niyo ang divorce bill benefits women
11:11.5
more than anyone?
11:13.4
Kasi po maraming mga kababaihan natin
11:15.6
are in abusive relationships
11:17.0
na hindi makaalis sa mga relationships na yun.
11:19.4
That are in toxic relationships
11:20.8
na hindi sila makaalis.
11:22.6
Ito po ang pagkakataon nila
11:23.9
na hindi lang maging legally separated
11:25.8
from their abusive partners,
11:27.2
pero makahanap ng ibang partner
11:29.1
na magpapasaya sa kanila
11:30.5
na makakapag-umpis na sila ulit
11:33.7
At yan po ang aking opinion
11:35.0
at bakit sinusuportahan ko
11:36.4
itong divorce bill na to.
11:37.7
Kayo, ano sa tingin nyo?
11:38.8
Do you agree or disagree?
11:40.2
Gusto ko marinig lahat ng opinion nyo
11:41.8
whether we agree or disagree,
11:44.4
Yan po ang maganda po
11:45.4
para magkaroon ng diskusyon,
11:47.0
para lalo nating maitindihan ng isa't isa.
11:49.3
Pakisulat na lang po lahat
11:50.3
ng mga komento nyo sa comment section
11:51.7
