Well, whatever the damned Catholic Church say, they can never dictate or meddle with matters of the "State" it is clearly written in the 1987 Philippine Constitution. It's the State that is the legal entity to validate divorce and though the Church or some dumb-asses deny it, the government should be inclined to the demands of it's people and what's best for everyone and keep the options open.

Life is not a fairy tale. It doesn't always work out.

If maka sabot lang ka how hassle (and COSTLY) the annulment process is and how an unhappy home affects the children.

Where in the 1987 Constitution can we find the section that authorizes the State to validate divorce? If one reads the Constitution very carefully, then he/she will find something like the following

ARTICLE II
Section 12. The State recognizes the sanctity of family life and shall protect and strengthen the family as a basic autonomous social institution.

ARTICLE XV

Section 1. The State recognizes the Filipino family as the foundation of the nation. Accordingly, it shall strengthen its solidarity and actively promote its total development.
Section 2. Marriage, as an inviolable social institution, is the foundation of the family and shall be protected by the State.


moreover, in the Family Code of the Philippines

Article 1. Marriage is a special contract of permanent union between a man and a woman entered into in accordance with law for the establishment of conjugal and family life. It is the foundation of the family and an inviolable social institution...

This means the Church is not interfering with the government. She is just reiterating not only the laws of God but also the laws of the land, which clearly and definitely disallowed divorce by defining marriage as a permanent and inviolable (unbreakable) union between man and woman. So if we don't believe anymore the Bible, at least believe in the Constitution.
