Senator Pia Cayetano, head of the Senate committee on youth, women and family relations, is ready to engage in another controversial issue, the proposed divorce bill, but only after Congress is done with the Reproductive Health measure.
“Hayaan nyong tapusin ko muna ito tapos magbabaran tayo sa divorce, ok?” Cayetano told reporters on Wednesday, referring to the RH bill now being tackled at the bicameral conference committee.
But in May this year, the senator openly expressed in a television interview the need for Congress to start debates on divorce.
“I really think it’s high time for the divorce bill,” she said when asked if there is now a need to pursue discussion on the proposed divorce bill.
“I’ll tell you why. I’ve talked to lawyers and psychologists and psychiatrists and it’s so traumatic to go through annulment because under our Philippine laws, you have to blame someone, you have to say you’re incapacitated, you’re saying that this marriage never existed, which is not true,” she said.
