Divorce to break up families, an official of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines said.
CBCP Public Affairs Committee Chairman Father Jerome Secillano said this amid the refiling of a bill on absolute divorce by Senator Risa Hontiveros.“Adding another option for separation puts to risk the family, which, under our Constitution and Family Code, is an inviolable institution that must be protected by the State,” added Secillano.
“It’s not true that legal remedies to formalize separation of couples are not in place. Declaration of nullity, annulment, and legal separation are available options [to} refiling of [divorce bill], but perhaps couples just don’t simply avail them,” Secillano said.
