What do you think of this news?

The Cebu City Council is strongly supporting the move to criminalize the same-*** marriages in the country because it would be highly immoral and scandalous.

Councilor Roberto “Bob” Cabarrubias said that the Revised Penal Code does not contain any provision penalizing a person for marrying another of the same gender, neither is there a provision penalizing a person for solemnizing the marriage of persons of the same gender.

Cabarrubias said under Article 15, section 2 of the Constitution, marriage is defined as an inviolable social institution and the foundation of the family and shall be protected by the state.

House Bill 6919, once enacted into law, will slap 15 years imprisonment and a fine of not more than P150,000 to every violator and a 12-year jail term and a fine of P100,000 for anybody who misdeclares or hides his or her true gender in order to secure a marriage license.

An employee of the Office of the Civil Registrar in Cebu City said so far they have not encountered such case that somebody is applying for a marriage license with a person of the same ***.

Kana may sakto.

[samamar21]

yes i agree.

The Philippines would never grow as a stable and advance country because of the clear and obvious discrimination towards the glbt community. HUMAN EQUALITY is the vital of everybody's existence. we need to live in harmony and the glbt community should be given equal rights under the law. We're all human beings. I am sure that this stand of mine will be attacked and i will be lambasted with negative comments. That is perfectly alright, we're used to this kind of discrimination anyways. Let there be peace, ok?

Palakas na pud gud nga move para supportahan sa simbahan ang mga hanggaw.

Where do you go if you lack the votes? where else? The Manipulative Church.

"we will support you if you follow us" - Mao ni teachings ni Jesus? hahaha ka kataw-anan. Luoy lang tawon simbahan himuon lang escape goat para maka daug sa election. I don't care if I go to hell... i'm living in one of the poorest and most corrupt country in the world. This is hell in here!
