Slavery is slavery and a blight to humanity. We don't need to sugarcoat it just because it's the Tagalogs who were doing it. The other video did not mention that the Lakans were pissed because of their waning influence on the lands which their Muslim Bruneian ancestors took by force from the Hindu chieftains and then married their daughters against their will to strangers from other tribes just so they could get a good grip on the land that they took by force. It's dogs ate dogs in that era, and us in the present should just accept it as is.

From DIVORCE PILIPINAS COALITION We want freedom from a long dead marriage and toxic relationship #ReinstituteDivorce #divorceismyhumanright #DivorcePilipinas #YesToDivorce #FreeUs PA JEDI

@Sungsam-rs2rg 7 ай бұрын

Using toxic relationship as vanguard to promote divorce does not help the cause. Let's get to the point directly. We want divorce because we want to have a way out of a relationship anytime we want, regardless of reasons. In the latest divorce statistics in USA (we don't have divorce data in Philippines), only 25% of of divorces are due to domestic violence (both genders) and an overwhelming majority of divorces are due to lack of commitment or, in common terms, " just want out and try another".

Thank you so much Kirby for this video! I am a Filipina who was born & raised the US and I definitely agreed that the Philippines should say yes to divorce. I have friends who are from divorce families and they turned out OK. They still see their parents growing up, but on certain days, weeks, and months. It depends on their arrangement. I also remember someone told me that when their parents were together and they were arguing, it broke their hearts. But when their parents got divorce, it hurts at first, but later on, they were glad that their parents separate. Because they believe it was for the better for both parties. I really hope the Philippines will allow divorce.

Take LElylah Fernandez, for example. She is CANADIAN. She is not "half half" anything. And if she was "half" something, it would be ECUADORIAN, given that her dad is from ECUADOR.

We used to have Divorce Law under Act 2710 - An Act Establish Divorce March 11, 1917 (repealed by the New Civil Code). Our Muslim Brothers have Divorce under PD 1083 The Muslim Code of the Philippines, Feb. 4, 1977. This Act 2710 can be googled and downloaded, yet one cannot find it in any law books nor in any articles and debates about divorce in the Philippines. I only came across of this law during my research as an Annulment Lawyer. I felt then that we have very little chances to secure the annulment so I researched far and wide and stumbled upon this Act 2710. Under Act 2710 , the grounds for Divorce is Adultery and Concubinage only. Atty. Emmanuel "Manny" C. Aragones

I wish you mentioned that marriages was exclusive to royal families only because their unions combined lands and riches. The royal families were allowed divorces as both families are equal and no one wants their daughters held against their will. the rest of us timawas amd alipins had no lands and therefore not given marriages which did not necessitate divorce.

Yes, there were some cases of Divorce during our Medieval times, but how is this relevant or correlative to our modern-day civilization and national identity, when most people disapprove of unnecessary divorces unless a partner is being battered or abused emotionally, or mentally, socially, and physically by the narcissistic other party.

Most catholic countries have divorces. A social right should not be blocked by laws just because a religion imposes it like any progressive society we see today. The social care for the divorcee based on our ancestors are more fair and progressive by today's standards valuing the party that will be impacted the most.
