Poverty in the Philippines
Divorce in the Philippines is planning to take over Filipino values and culture. It’s all over the news, the Philippine Congress is now pushing forward the Divorce Bill right after they have put forward the Reproductive Health Bill. This is exactly what I have been worrying about. Just a couple of weeks ago, when I attended our Baptist Convention Meeting here in the Visayas, this issue was brought up. And just as what I have stated, “RH Bill can also lead to the Divorce Bill” because they have the same proponents.
I know lots of Evangelical Christians are pro-RH Bill. But what they don’t know is that the proponents of RH Bill are also the proponents of Divorce Bill. And now that they almost got what they want, they are now preparing for another wave of controversial bill which will open a highway for immorality and degradation of Philippine culture and religious standards and beliefs.
Here is a list of the known supporters of RH Bill and Divorce Bill
RH-Bill Divorce Bill
Liza Maza – Liza Maza
Risa Hontiveros – Risa Hontiveros
Janette Garin – Janette Garin
Edcel Lagman – Edcel Lagman

It is not what God wants. Since I started Biblical studies nothing in the Bible that will tell you that God favored and felt better for divorce. It was only allowed due to the hardheadedness of men. God did not made man and woman to be united and then separated if they got into some problems.
If you fear the Lord and his commands, there is no way that you will agree on divorce. This is not what God wants. As simple as it is. Even if some pastor and theologians quantify it as a “necessary amputation” as far as I remember what my American Theology professor said, I would say that divorce is divorce, and God hates it. It was only men who wants it, not God.
It is not the answer to the growing violence against women and children. Most divorce advocates gives emphasis

    Another reason is that, people are becoming more secularised, which means religion is in decline; due to this more couples are getting a divorce as religion is seen as less important. We know that in the past, divorce was seen as a negative thing, as society at the time was more religious and also churches never allowed people to remarry. Sociologist Juliet Mitchell and Jack Goody found out in 1997 that there was a rapid decline in the stigma attached to divorce, as today divorce is seen as more acceptable and it’s beginning to “normalise” and reduce the stigma attached. Today we live in a more secular society where people don’t view divorce in a negative way as it is more common, even churches are becoming more acceptable now.…

    Why do people divorce? Because it is easy to divorce and sometimes it makes people wonder the need of marrying if divorcing is that easy. According Rauch, marriages can be strengthened if divorces are hard to get. This is true for one reason and also a false theory for another reason. Many people would be working to make the marriage successful knowing that it is a lifetime commitment which will have a no escape route.…

    Society has moved further and further away from religion since the 1960s. This secularisation that is occurring means that people are now not considering the bible and its teaching that divorce is wrong when their marriage is breaking down. People are now less concerned that divorce is wrong in the eyes of religion meaning that they are less scared to get a divorce, this in turn leads to the divorce rates increasing.…

    Divorce rate has taken a dramatic turn in the recent years. Divorce even dates back to the Old Testament, “Divorce, although possible, was rare except to the very rich, because the cost was prohibitively high.” [4] God did not create divorce. Divorce is a consequence that we have because of the Fall. God created a man and a women to be married and for…

Divorce was originally considered a sin by the church, and was incredibly rare until the latter half of the twentieth century.

    I respect the opinion of others about their decision upon agreeing in this bill but they should have an understanding that when RH Bill is going to be a law, then the Philippines will somewhat be liberated. I passed upon a guy who is not a Pro nor a Con in RH Bill but has a point in telling us that, "I wouldn't directly say that I am against it...but I wouldn't also say that I am with it...on the surface, the law seems to be plausible...it is actually verging on good to great...but as Filipinos, the separation of the state to the church isn't actually complied because as Filipinos, our value for life and morality is sky high...but we cannot also change the fact that we are not the most responsible people in the world...many youths that I know here on our place is actually engaging in sexual activities and they suffer for it...we can't change the fact that we need to control the situation before it gets worst...guys, we're 92,681,453 and counting as we talk...we can't just sit...we have to do something... the church is here to teach the people…

    If you're a Catholic, If you fear God and his commands, there is no way that you will agree on divorce. Simple as it is. Especially here in the Philippines. Even if some pastor and theologians quantify it as a “necessary amputation”. People were given the so-called choice and chance to change while the fact is, it is where the so-called “rights” is abused. People use the rights and abuse because of being self-centered and selfish quest for happiness and bring them in the same situation again and again and again and again.…
