Bacolod Diocese Bishop Patricio Buzon issued a pastoral letter on marriage and divorce after the House of Representatives approved on the third and final reading a measure seeking to legalize absolute divorce on May 22. In the pastoral letter dated May 29, Buzon said that House Bill 9349, An Act Reinstituting Absolute Divorce as an Alternative Mode for the Dissolution of Marriage, is indeed a “tragic development” because the said bill is an “outright defiance of the Law of God.

“For all the good intentions of its proponents, the divorce bill will only create more significant damage to the family and to society founded on the family itself. Ultimately, it is the children, the future of our society who will be the ones most adversely affected,” he also said.
