It took our team in the Philippines over 5 hours to get 10 people for this street interview. And out of those 10 people, 4 were in favor of legalizing divorce, and 6 were against it. We go through all these efforts because our vision is to give ordinary people a voice, to connect people's opinions and to encourage critical thinking. We understand that this is not enough of a sample size and want to hear from more people on this issue. So, why don't you share your opinions with the world - just make a video of yourself and upload it to TH-cam with the title, "Filipino Divorce Law #AsianBossOpinions.” You don’t need to be Asian or live in Asia. We will feature the best responses in one of our future videos.
The Church will give an annulment to couples in the extreme cases that they are talking about. Marriage is considered a merging of the souls into one so as to procreate with God to produce children. If a couple can show that they never actually became one then the marriage contract can be nullified. In other words, treated as it never happened. This can get very complicated if their are children involved. I used to believe the Church was wrong about their stance on divorce but the last 30 years has showed the world what happens when divorce becomes too easy. The older I get the more I see and understand the wisdom of the Church.
wow Jack, thanks for your insight. What exactly have you seen in the last 30 years that makes you reconsider divorce laws? thanks
Jack Mann how is a couple supposed to show that they never "became one"?
ChiChi Appio-- I have seen it destroy the family and the influence it used to have on our offspring. There is other factors of course like welfare that made it more profitable to be a single mother rather than being married. When children grow up without a loving mother and father, that actually love their children enough to say no to them and discipline them when necessary, they grow up with no respect for authority and many stay locked in that childish mind set for the rest of their lives. I am 76 years old now but by the time I was 12 years old, I knew how to drive a car, ride a horse, shoot a gun and respect authority and it was all because my Mom and Dad love me enough to make it happen . The same went for my brother and sister. Of course I thought they were just being mean at the time but by the time I got out of college I was ready to deal with the world. When they say that families that pray together stay together, it is very true. It is also true that if you live your life according to the teaching of the Church you will be much more likely to have a happy and productive life. The Bible is not a rule book that God gave us to make us live a miserable life. It is a book of wisdom that is trying to tell us how to be truly happy and avoid the pitfalls that so many people make. I was lucky enough to find a wife that already knew this the first time because it took me a while to understand it. God bless!
Constantin Klose-- The Catholic Church has a marriage tribunal made up of 3 priests that interview people and many of their family and acquaintances.They make the final decision as to whether or not you can get an annulment. It could take up to 3 years. If you are not Catholic this may not make sense to you but the Bible says that what God has joined together let no man put asunder. This takes the pressure off the person getting a divorce because the Church is taking responsibly for the divorce and call it an annulment. If they determine that the two of you were never really compatible and never had a meeting of the minds or souls. They take the part about " till death do us part" pretty serious as it should be.
THE GUY WHO SAID THAT HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FLIRT.
RELATABLE
mochi's butt - actually the correct translation for that is "courting" not "flirting" 😊 though somehow it has the same context but still the word "flirt" is too vulgar haha
Rainier Ramiro *too
So much. Hahaha
mochi's butt Lmao I love your name
mochi's butt He actually said "I'm *not used to* courting/flirting" meaning he did that before but not often
Thing is, many people want a wedding, not a marriage.
And they all want to separate after wedding.😂
Bobby Sierra lol
True! they want the ceremony and the vows but not fulfilling the promises! 😂
You just want a wedding lil mama lol 😆
For the fiesta 💃💃💃
People really act like everyone's gonna have divorce once the law is passed
I'm sure a lot of people would though
YES
Look at the divorce rates in western countries.
@@StudioArtFX their fault for abandoning family values for short term pleasures (one night stands, useless expensive stuff, thots etc.)
😅😅😅
I love how even when they're speaking English there's still English subtitles that don't even show what they're actually saying
Hahah true haha
Hahahhahah
Inaccurate subtitles.
Probably Asian Boss was confused with the Taglish they can't ascertain whether English or Tagalog is being spoken.😅🤣😂
When you're fluent and can understand, but you still read the subtitles.
ponyos
lol same, I'm just gonna criticize the subs.
me 😭
nasanay nako sa kdrama eh hahah
So meee 😂
So me HAHAHAHAHAH
Seeing people being confused about the fact that they switch between Tagalog,English,and Spanish strangely amuses me
edit: y'all... im literally filipino i know💀
Answer: History
I just want your name than chocolate
Most Filipinos speak mix different languages especially those working in Manila where people from all regions live.
Linguistically Filipinos are rich 😅😂😂😂
thats history right there.
As a filipino we need to separate the power of State and Church just like the English and Tagalog😂
Yeah, tapos naka2irita din yung pagbigkas ng "r"
HAHAHAHAAHA
Oo nga Hhahahaha
No
Kasalanan kase yun kapatid nakasulat ss bibliya kahit hiniwalayan mo na yung babae kapag nangbabae ka yung kasama mo ngayon ay nagkasala at pati na rin ikaw...walang batas batas na gawa ng tao ang makatatalo sa salita ng diyos.
I can just imagine how Philippine Language sounds really strange to Western countries. It’s actually more difficult for us to communicate with only our own language.
JungKooKing & PenQueen Minari
Yeah XD
THE TRUTH HAS BEEN SPOKEN!!?
trueee
Yeah, true… But it kind of makes it difficult to advocate for the standardization and intellectualization of the local languages, right? Like I think it's good we can speak English, but it's not really a two-way system. I think it's kind of showing in the country's scientific and technological literacy… Or-I don't know, I'm just buzzing off or something…
So true...when in FACT my Filipino teacher is using TAGLISH as a medium of instruction.
I guess we should be more aware of the difference between 'flirt' and "courtship" Careful with your translation. It will change the opinion of the speaker to the Native who might be watching it.
Janice Pimentel I agree.
I know right lol
I'm also thinking about it to, cause flirt is way too different from courtship
I've noticed that too
Exactly. Courtship is more formal and serious and the guy said he doesnt know how to start a courtship
I'm surprised at so many people's discomfort at the interviewees swtiching languages. This is common in multilingual countries.
Dovilė Tavus love your profile pic! But we speak like that because we were taught English as well as Tagalog or Bisaya and it’s just the culture to speak that way, it’s hard to explain but as a Filipino it’s just always been a part of the way we speak that makes us unique.
Yeah in Malaysia too. We go by which language feels most comfortable at the moment. Some thoughts are best expressed in one language or another. It's also how we're used to talking.
Some words which are easier to say in English is said in English, some Tagalog words are just long, repetitive and outdated and sounds old to use, so we code-switch
Dovilė Ta I dunno how to express it but it is like ur brain found the word u are looking for but it is in a different language from ur initial sentence but u just go with it bcuz u know the person u are talking to can understand it...
I do that automatically without thinking when i am with my friends who can speak the same amount of language as i am.... like from korean to english to chinese and sometimes to malay as well...
It is mostly bcuz some words are better being said in a certain language.
Dovilė Ta, both languages are native to both the speaker and the listener, nothing disrespectful. Some expressions are just more natural or accurate or more commonly said in one of the languages than the other. If they were talking to a foreigner who speaks only one of them, I'm pretty sure they would say everything in that one language.
As an English speaker who doesn't understand any Filipino languages, it's really mind-blowing to listen. It seems like at random every 4-5 words the speakers switch to English and then to a different language and then back again. All languages have loan words, but it almost feels like the language the interviewees are speaking has "loan sentences." I've listened to people speak many different languages, but this is a first for me.
Ohh you should hear the Chavacano language. Its a Philippine language with lots of Spanish a few tidbits of Tagalog and Portuguese
Because In Philippines,
Once you Speak A Full Filipino Word Sentence, you will look like a Poet Master😂
It's the Pinoy's unique way of speaking. 👍👌
@@mayurishiina6904 😂😂😎
It's mostly the youth who do that
When they started to speaking English and I was like 'ooh I understand what they were saying' and then they switched back to their language...Seems like I understand but actually no. My mind is blowing.
having tried all hack tools on TH-cam,I must say @john.son1935 on Instagram is the only working one
Hahaha on behalf of my countrymen I would like to say I'm sorry
That Bi-Lingual dialogue though!! always blows my mind how they switch between 2 languages mid sentence!
Filipino and English are our official languages
erico1098 I thought there was something wrong with the audio. Like the original tagalog voice of the people was not completely dubbed by the english translater 😂
Because it somehow makes sense. One note tho, some Spanish words get overridden by English ones. (at least that's how I can see it)
Indeed. very impressive!
We Filipinos are exposed to both Filipino (usually Tagalog) and English in our entire lives, so it just makes sense that we code-switch A LOT, especially the younger generation.
Filipinos can literally learn any language at this rate.😂😂 Just like here in Japan, Japanese people are very surprised at how Filipinos can learn Japanese quickly.
Exactly, I'm a filipino and I'm currently learning japanese.
Abs0lute_ K-pop actually they love k-pop now to the point where they were going to remove filipino and replacing it with korean language although I’m not sure
Abs0lute_ and yet one of the people in the philippines loves it
美絵流ーちゃん [Mieru-Chan] I'm a Filipino and I love anime and Japanese culture so much. So I decided to learn Japanese language through self study. I was able to take a good grasp of it and is eventually able to understand words without subtitles. I just keep on listening to Japanese music and watch anime or movie then jot down words and sentences and try to translate it. Then I use Japanese dictionary app and books as well. It really helped me a lot even tho my accent is not like a native speaker yet. I also do monologues and speak Japanese to my Filipino friends even tho only 1 out of a hundred understands me😊
KAWAII!!!!!
i love how they throw english words here and there and most filipinos speak english as well, makes me want to visit their beautiful country ❤️
Hi Faith, can i be your tour guide? 😊
My account was also hacked but thanks to the hacker on Instagram @john.son1935
I love speaking two languages at once like that. That's what makes it fun when I am learning a new language.
We use both English or Tagalog (or other mother tongue like Bisaya, Ilocano, Bicolano, depending on the region) when conversing with other people. Also, it's part of the educational system here to use English as well.
Hello nice
Comments about language all over this section: one word- COLONIZATION
Not just language, religion, too! The Romans colonised Britain for nearly 400 years and left behind tons of their language that we all use today.
Every country on Earth has been colonised at some point. It's part of human history!
English is filled with Spanish French German Italian Latin and 100's of native american words just like Tagalog. Both languages absorb other languages. It has nothing to do with colonization. What makes English so prevalent in the world is because it has so many subtle meanings of so many ideas and thoughts just like Tagalog. Both languages have words that can't be described in other languages. They are dynamic and alive.

Everytime i watch Filipino interviews in asian boss, when i go to the comments,all of the comments talking about how Filipino switch languages 😂😅
I love your name tho lol
Same lol
Its the most sexiest language. Very pleasant to the ear.
@@mikeserrano734 the most unique langauge for sure
Dude it is so annoying lol. Just speak one language. So confusing.
I like how non Filipinos are so interested in our Filipino language, I don’t even notice the switch of language probably because I’m use to it😅
천미영 Yes i noticed too, their fascinating:-)
our national language is FILIPINO and not tagalog...tagalog is a dialect from luzon that people use...ma'am, our teacher kepts on repeating and correcting us about our language *face palms* omg
Mary Emmanuelle Asoy my bad I live in the states so sorry for my ignorance ig
천미영 nah its ok,im sorry for easily judging you tho.
Yeah. I don't consider it something amazing tho, until I read comments about people saying how cool our language switch from Filipino to English.
Now that I read that, I'm ashtonished too. It was something like magic 😂
I don't know why most of the commentators here are surprised that Filipinos can speak multiple languages at once? It's a normal thing in our country. Even the president can do that!
Of course it is normal for us we live here duh, just common sense tbh
I think it's because they live in a Country that only has an optional second language meaning it's not mandatory so it both keeps the Language of the country alive while also giving it's citizens an opportunity to learn a different language to use in the future
hindi kc uso sa kanila yung "switching language" pansin mo , mga english at spanish speakers mga nagcocomment about sa "lenggwahe" natin.
Common Sense po nakakahiya
Some Filipinos from the Provinces had to learn 3 languages.
1. Local Language (Bisaya, Ilonggo, Kapampangan, Pangasinense, Ilokano, Maranao, Surigaonon, Waray, etc.)
2. Filipino Language
3. English Language

Spanish colonization. Theres a place here where they speak broken spanish as their dialect. People were forced to learn español under the spanish colonization period.
Well, the Spanish did colonise the country for approximately 333 years.
Lol thats how spanish sound to us filipinos too
Not really
Haha español
This language is so fascinating to me. It's Tagalog Spanish and English all at once I love hearing them talk🥺I understand every other word ahah I would love to learn it one day

CORRECTION: "I don't know how to COURT" !!!
@@yellsayson5404 agreed
@Weeb Memeist64 I think courtship is a much serious version to flirting. Kinda how like is compared to love. At least, that's what my family told me
@Weeb Memeist64 more traditional people do.
@Weeb Memeist64 well someone's being rude here
I like more the 'court' word than the 'flirt' for that sentence..
When people are more interested in our language rather than the issue 😂
Pauliene Belo people are not used to a language which sounds like so many languages put together lol hahaha.
Pauliene Belo true... 😂 theyre more focused on how the way we talk than the topic itself 😅
lol
Pauliene Belo Your influence to the Philippines did nothing positive rather corruption and boastfulness
Karl Bryant anong problema mo? Lols
The reason why we switch language is because we forgot the word term in tagalog so we use english instead.
Yun nga ang nakakalungkot e
Miriam Velasco true :
That's sad, don't you guys have historical books or something that could help? The language sounds weird with so many English words
@@Forlfir Don't worry because it's starting to change. The government ordered for schools start teaching children in their "Mother tongue" or dialect in most subjects in order to preserve the Filipino language.
@@Forlfir We have tagalog reading materials and a filipino subject in our schools, but for the other subjects, we mainly use english like for math and science (especially because they have a lot of difficult terms) But in class discussions, we speak tagalog and in the process, english words/phrases/terms get mixed in the lecture. English is being used a lot to the point that it gets mixed up in our day-to-day tagalog conversations and it just became more comfortable for us to use, thus taglish uwu But when we do code switching, it's not that we totally forgot the translation of the word in tagalog (well, most of the time), it's just that we got used to using the english term more than the tagalog one so it became more comfortable to use them. owo
I don’t get the “percentage of cheaters might rise” as if cheating is only present in countries where there are divorce rates. I think divorce should be legal specifically because of cheating and how easily it’s swept under the rug just because you “don’t want to upset the family”.
If anything... it would decrease rates of cheating. He’s dumb if he doesn’t think cheating is happening because divorce is illegal.
Exactly - it’s sad because as a filipino i feel like you’re not allowed to complain about filipino society even when it’s toxic and harmful and you’re just stating the truth, but everyone wants to ignore it and put smiles on and not rock the boat. That means though that if you keep the status quo people will continue to suffer and nothing will change for the better - it feels a lot like society is still in the colonial era and there’s a pining for it
@@lizasplaylist Divorce is not needed here, you can file an adultery case for men and concubinage for women who cheats, how about abusive husbands? They will be charged with the VAWC law or anti violence against women and their children law, minor to serious physical injury, serious illegal detention and the list goes on. We also have annulment you can also file for legal separation.
when you understand what they're talking about but still read the sub and some are wrongly translated.

Their language skills are off the charts, they swap through the different ones so naturally.
*shrug* that's normal here. In fact, the average Filipino can speak 2-4 dialects/languages in a single sentence.
Karila Crysanthemum
Yup
Korek.. I do that here in the States and sometimes I begin talking to my co workers in mixed languages and they be like ... huh?
We do it unconsciously. Well, I do it unconsciously.
Actually its because some of the terms/words are much easier in English than in Filipino. I think it is due to Filipino terms are probably forgotten or rarely used.
Lol . people on the comments are more interested in the language than the issue.
Johannes Gansowen You're right.
Its like the icing on the cupcacke.. Sometimes i prefer the icing than the cupcake itself..
Because some are interested how Filipinos switch from one language to another and how they hear different languages mixed in like Spanish, Hindi and mostly English.
*sad* lol
Johannes Gansowen true

That woman said:
Filipino are following the Law of God.
"What God has put together let no man separate "
❤❤❤❤
But what if you thought god has put you together, and you were wrong? Maybe god put you and someone else, and you just haven’t found them yet
But what if the person you got married is not the person you really wanted or planned to be with? Shotgun marriage for an instance.
Law of God? Baket, bumaba ba ang diyos sa langit para magsulat jan sa bibliya na yan?
Saan deductive reasoning niyo? Logic? Critical thinking?
I mean we’re asking baket di tayo ummunlad. Are we really this ignorant? Or are we just dumb?
@Jil Y Acknowledge God from where? If the Bible said kainin mo tae mo, kakainin mo rin ba kasi "law of God" iyon? You think a bunch of people that had no form of government back then, that had to think of a way to control the masses, had to write something to reign them all in, is law of God? I was always taught that the people that wrote the Bible was "inspired by God" to write it. Well, in that case, if JK Rowling would claim that she is inspired by God to write Harry Potter, then should we start treating it as gospel as well?
Taglish 101: get the rootword in english and make tenses using tagalog.

Very very true. I wish they had people speak up from dysfunctional Filipino families - especially those who have been abused - as this law impacts them the most.
@@lizasplaylist I totally agree. I hope someday they separate the government and the church when it comes to laws like this.
Also, growing up in a dysfunctional, abusive, problematic and toxic family setting greatly affects a child's growth and mental health.

@@nadiashami taglish tagalog english
Yes, TagLish. :)
Yeah. Diagnosed with a bad case of code switching.
I'm Filipino, and with us it is very common to mix English and Filipino in one sentence. When I watch TH-cam videos of Filipino's being interviewed, a lot of foreigners comment on how we can speak English, Filipino and Spanish words in one sentences and how it looks so natural for us to mix them.
The thing is, we learn both Filipino and English at school starting in kindergarten. With English, you speak it fully when you have to, like in formal setting, school setting, but with everyday conversations, there are a lot of times where there are words you can't say in Filipino because there are no direct translations, so we use the English words. Then also, some Filipino words can be too long so we just substitute the most convenient English word.
It's not accidental for us but rather it's the norm to speak with mixed Filipino and English. It's not that easy to speak in pure Filipino in long conversations. We might stumble on trying to find or remember Filipino words seldom used. It's even harder to speak pure Tagalog which is the language that is the basis of Filipino.
Although I myself don't speak in English in casual conversations. There might be English words, but the base of the sentence is in Filipino grammar.
When I am speaking in English, I don't mix Filipino words, unless I forget the word or there is no English for that word.
Returning to a previous info I mentioned, unlike what foreigners think on how we also speak Spanish, we don't. It's just that Spanish words have been integrated in Filipino deeply. So we're not switching to Spanish, we're still speaking Filipino. Those Spanish words heard are really the words we use to refer to certain things, because we prefer them over more native Tagalog words. The Filipino language is basically Tagalog with Spanish and English words integrated, and some from Chinese, Indian, Malay etc. Spanish words are the most because of the 300 plus years of colonization that's why those who speak Spanish think we know Spanish when they listen to interviews.
Example sentences:
Kuhanin mo yung towel sa loob ng banyo.
Get the towel inside the bathroom.
Towel is an English word and banyo is from Spanish. But the base of the sentence lies in Filipino grammar.
We wouldn't speak with English as the base like
Get the twalya inside the banyo.
That sounds cringe, and as they call it here, conyo.
Banyo is actually baño. I am so sad you have to mix so many things together. I only know Spanish and English to a certainly degree. Never had the chance to learn French though studied for a while, or Japanese, Korean or Chinese but for very few words.
Are they speaking english spanish and their native language mixed, im hearing some spanish in there as well not to mention some similarities to malay/indo type bahasa likeWut lol
Yes to all 🤣
Philippines long history of colonization from Spain and US..
Thats why we speak like that.
No. The spanish and malay/indo you can hear are Filipino words.
Memento Mori
They are speaking their own language and English. The Spanish are loan words that really are part of the native language while the English ones are just that, English.
I absolutely love how they switch between Filipino/English. Really cool.
It's called TagLish.
We combined English and Tagalog . 😂
@@bernadetteallysonrevilla3407 yeah it doesn't 😂😂 peace
It is very common thing in asia.
You're wrong
Tagalog + English + Spanish
I find it extremely annoying.
This language is absolutely amazing, they are speaking pieces of multiple languages, of course you can hear the English but you can also occasionally hear the Spanish (trabajo or pasa for example) Its amazing how far colonisation reached and affected cultures deeply.
Harry Cake yes hahaha also here in the south, u can hear 4 languages mix in a sentence hahaha
Harry Cake 300 years of colonization....
333 years to be specific if not exact😃
Well, I guess thank you for finding this language amazing..? 😅🤣
And we have 170 languages /dialects
It should be "courtship" not "flirt". Be careful how you translate. It has a different meaning.
no it doesnt. Filipinos demonize the word "flirt" but its not bad at all. when you smile at your crush, that's basically flirting.
Courting is still a better term
I agree...

you are really right..annulment fot rich only.. hindi ko gusto ang batas sa pinas sobrang selfish...hindi nli iniintindi ang ibang pilipino ..mag asawa na matagal ng nagjiwalay at may iisang pamilya na sa iba
I can understand both sides. As a christian myself, I do uphold the marriage as very sacred. But for a person who have to deal with domestic violence or any other type of abuse such as child abuse, there should be an option to be able to leave without getting punished for it.
Ms Dva the Catholic Church already has a process in place for lawful separation in cases like this. Its called annulment.
I have no idea what actually goes on within the actual country, and therefor only goes by the actual residents there from this interview, and from my understanding it costs a lot of money, and what happens to those people who are suffering from that and can't fork up the money? That is giving a message that too bad, you are not rich enough to have a good life and be deserving of happiness.
Wtf? Those people who are for banning divorce accept that some people will live in abusive relationship. This is cruel unfair and disgusting. You cant be at both sides you either agree for people to have right to choose if they want to get divorce or youre against it. Thats it.
"Don't marry people who wont keep their vows." You never know how a person turns out to be after 5, 10, 15 years of marriage. They might turn into a cheater or abuser or perhaps you drift apart. People change, people make mistakes. That's why marriage without the option of getting divorce is too rigid of a concept in reality.
i wish i could replace the word sacred with spiritual
i enjoy reading comments everytime philippines featured in asian boss lol most of the comments are about how filipinos switch language that quick

Yuri The Knaifu I just replied in your way. Also, I sent some sources go check that out. You don't hear it, cause it's single words that we've adapted over 800 years that the Chinese have been in the country. We made it our own. The Chinese language has influenced loads of Asian languages. And since we are Austronesian, our language is related to Bahasa Malayu and Bahasa Indonesia. Plus when the Arabs came and brought Islam to our country, we also adapted a few of those words.
Prin Ren TS I agree, especially back then. There were a lot more of malay words used in tagalog, especially in kapampangan, ilokano and bisaya till now.
No Chinese there I don't think
This is why I love Asian boss. I have so many filipino friends n coworkers yet I know so little about their country and culture. Never knew they were a catholic country or divorce was illegal. Shocking. I feel so ignorant everyday tbh.

Starlight in my Universe Well, we can’t be knowledgeable on all things- unless you’re someone/something omnipotent. 😂 That’s where the joy of learning comes in! we might feel ignorant everyday but it’s an opportunity to learn something new every single day.
The fact that you admit your ignorance and try to improve is the first step to become intelligent.
Sinag Sarita Carriedo no way.
Im surprised how their language sounds like English sometimes!
Faggatron its actually english being mix with spanish and tagalog. That’s how the filipino casual talk
Because it's actually English. We do that because it's easier for us. We learn both Filipino and English at the same time, yearly for about 20 years of our lives. We know both languages equally, when we forgot the Filipino term, we switch to English.
I am fascinated by this mix of English and Filipino they are using
ME: How can divorce be illegal in Philippine? and how many languages on earth can a Filipino speak in just one sentence?
Filipino (tagalog) and English are the primary language of our country. So Taglish was born.
Divorce is illegal in the Philippines because the Church said so. Sad. The Church is encouraging couples to live in sin to avoid the wrath of divorce. I wonder if the Church realizes that.
@@PUPPETNETTES then why marrying a persom if u think both of u wont work out? Pathetic
We can speak taglishpanish 😂😂
We have too much language haahahahah
as a filipino, i believe that our country being very dependent on the church is one of the hindrances why our country never got out of the "3rd world/developing countries." we could never entertain new ideas easily because we always have to agree to the church and the older generation aka elderly who has very different beliefs and opinions from the newer generation.
Very true. Our dependency on the church stems back all the way to the Spanish Colonization era where religion is used to actually manipulate people. Which sadly, is still effective up to this date.
What I want for us to learn is to question things. The simple reason of "Because we're Catholic" is not enough, it's an excuse. Most of the Filipinos don't even understand the religion itself and the history behind it. Sad🤐
@Francisco Gamus Just want to make it clear that in my reply I did not state my agreement or disagreement with divorce. All I'm saying is that the "religious" ideology is what actually prevents most Filipinos to be critical in this situation. Honestly, I don't think divorce will work here. It will just be taken advantage of (in that I actually strongly agree with you).
We can agree that even without divorce, and adultery actually illegal, it didn't stop Filipinos to cheat, separate, or annul. And it is true that the people who want to pass it wants a piece of it. Marriage will become more convenient if there will be divorce here because there is an "easy way out".
Ironically, I also am thinking that maybe by creating more grounds and making it less expensive, annulment is still a better option than divorce.
And please don't just assume my side because clearly my reply didn't state my opinion on the matter at hand directly.
I think filipinos should balance the law and religion.
Nahh, hinaharangan lang ng mga mismong lawyers yang Divorce bill dahil mawawalan nga naman sila ng kita kung maipapasa yan. Sa annulment kasi kumikita sila(dahil nga sa tagal ng proseso). Business kasi ang annulment para sa kanila.

Trixie Cruz yay agree!
agree ako dyan
I came from a broken family here in the Philippines and my parents are currently on the process of annulment for 14 years now, it branch from one case to another and then another. The judges alr changed a hanful of times and we're still not close to actually seeing the end of it. Money spent and all. It affected me so much having to deal with it at a young age and having to speak infront when I turned 18 and choose one to defend. I feel like it would've been much better for me if there was a divorce. Not legalizing the divorce won't make my dad love my mom again nor will it prevent my dad from cheating. It only distances your feelings to your parents and that's the worst of all, ending up with none of them. I hope it gets legalized, having a broken family here is the new norm. I wish they realize that soooner rather than later.
Thank you for sharing your story and opinion. Cause your story is the finest proof that children need to be raised in love, not in hatred or cheating. Everyone makes mistakes, and marriage could also be a mistake. And divorce is a way to show children, future adults, the healthy relationship when people do not turn each other lifes into a nightmare, but respect each others freedom and will.
I'm sorry for what happened to your family. I do hope you have become a different person, far from the picture of your father that you presented here. Children do really need to be raised in love. So before one enters marriage, one must be prepared that it could all go wrong, because it's a lifetime commitment and that should have been a deterrent for all of us. Your mother need not stay in such a bad relationship, she can always leave her husband. But she did take the vow with full consent...
This is the reason why Catholics in ph did not approve divorce, because of money , ang perang nagagastos sa annoulment ay napupunta sa simbahan
I'm married to a Filipino here in the UK. My wife has many friend with new partners here who can't get devorced from people in the Philippines who they haven't seen for 10 years+.
Mapang apak pa yung iba, mga palasimba nga pero mapangmata. Yung ex wife ng partner ko nilait pa ung family ko at ng partner ko ngayon na husband nmn nia dati dahil lang broken family kmi parehas.

Dapat maipasa na yan para malaman nilang hindi sila powerful as they are now. New norm na yung broken family hindi nagwork ganon talaga.
When i can travel i hope to meet a lovely filipina and one day get married, but i would never want a divorce, because a marriage is something you both should work at.
As a Filipino citizen, I'm in favor of legalizing divorce. I also have a brother who's illegally separated with his wife. Now they both have their own partner and kids. I feel pity for those kids as they're considered as illegitimate children because their parents can't get married because they're still married with their ex and they have no choice to break it.
yeah. our country needs it
Why they got a divorce if they loved each other and got a formal wedding????? Did he join to another woman who had her own job because his previous wife was just a stay at Home mom? So he took the easier path because he was lazy?

Emmanuel Obinwanor code-switching is the term.
The filipines are an asian country that was colonized by the spanish and then remained in the USA sphere of influence for a long time so I believe this had an influence in their language
They are switching language mid-sentence which very common in the Philippines. Most Filipinos speaks 2 to 3 languages. Specially those people who lives outside the capital have to speak 3 or more languages/dialects.
WE ARE BILINGUALS
It's called taglish - tagalog and english
It feels so good how they keep switching the language. It's very similar to India. People use English terms so casually while speaking in native language.

@@f.b.i7121 and do you think all marriage is perfect?
the hypocrisy of some of the older ones being interviewed is quite perplexing.
divorce should be legal, but like abortion, it should be a last resort tool, rather than just used willy nilly; it should also simply be prevented from being used as a last resort in the first place (aka taking the steps to avoid ending up having to divorce/get an abortion). in both cases, there should be a valid reason for divorce/abortion, not ‘because i feel like it’. the ways to prevent either are being more scrupulous in choosing your spouse (divorce), and using birth control and safe sex practices (abortion).
People should get educated on Marriage before getting married. Most people just wants a wedding but they don’t truly know the “WORK” to be married and stay married...
Because these days, if you love someone you can marry them anytime just because “you lOve them” it’s not all about love duh.
And people should be educated that being inlove is not the reason to get married. Getting married needs growth, maturity and the ability to workout the relationship.
The thing is they want wedding ,not marriage
divorce is an OPTION just like marriage is.

"If divorce does become legal the percentage of cheaters might rise." This doesn't make sense in my eyes. It would be the other way around. The percentage of cheaters would go down because there's no need to secretly cheat on your partner behind their back if you can get divorced.
People still make a big deal of marriages if we just look at any country that isn't the Vatican and the Phillippines.
They already do treat it that way. People get separated anyway. They just stay married on paper but they are not together anymore.
+Yutaa Mendoza
Marriage is not divine sacrosanct. It's merely a social contract for two individuals to engage in a usually monogamous romantic and sexual relationship, usually with the goal of raising progeny.
If you feel that your partner has violated the social contract, you absolutely should have the right to break it off.
Simple.
Secretly cheating or not is still cheating.. The number of secret cheaters will go down but the number of cheaters still the same..
Yutaa Mendoza it is just simple.. If you are just going to cheat don't get married. Or don't marry a cheater.. No marriage No Divorce and use contraceptives so there will be no kids involved..

For me in my experience I want to legalize the divorce bill. I'm very open when my Parents fight all the time. For me when parents fight the kids should see it because when not seeing it the child becomes clueless or worse becomes brainwashed by parents it's a good thing the child knows where to go when parents seperates.
Flirt in tagalog is "landi", and "ligaw" is courtship. You flirt because you want fun, you court someone because you want commitment and you're needing that someone to be with you!
As a Filipino who has taught low income college kids for years, I can say that divorce would be a godsend for a lot of those families. You don't know the trauma of a dyafunctional and toxic family who still keeps staying together. I've had kids who constantly cry and suffer while they were studying because their home life was terrible, with usually an abusive dad that they can't legally get away from.
The language is so interesting!!

Everybody is either talking about how impressed they are with the language or how baffling it is that people can’t get divorced in some parts of the world - I’m really impressed at the intelligence displayed in the interview though! For random people polled on the streets, the answers were well informed and generally pretty thoughtful. That’s awesome
*Guess it's better to just date then.. ✅🙂*
As someone who lived in usa for 16 years, dont open that can of worm of “irreconcilable differences.” It has messed up so many children growing up without both parents,
True but they can learn from the West’s mistakes. Make sure it’s only At Fault Divorce that is allowed
Imagine how the children would feel about divorce? (As the lady put it) And yet...how many families are split anyway with new families and not divorced? There are many illegitimate children and mistresses. It’s just as bad, if not worse.
Also, part of the culture is you can’t live with your partner until you are married (especially if you are a devout Catholic). You don’t really know a person until you’ve lived with them. And what if they beat you after you are married? What if they take all your money and spend it? What if they cheat on you and lie? Are you supposed to stay with all that? There’s a fine line between staying just because your religion says so, versus your own peace of mind. For better or worse doesn’t mean being taken advantage of, especially in those situations. Obviously divorce shouldn’t be taken lightly, but I think in special cases, such as the ones mentioned above, they should. One shouldn’t suffer long term if you made a big mistake. This is my personal opinion.
Divorce should be allowed, but not boyfirend-girlfriend. One can get to know someone without such relations. If they go thorugh multiple gf/bf they will get used to sex with different people and not be faithful anymore. There are many studies done on this, you can look it up: 'promiscuity divorce rate'
@@zoybean Qasim Choudhery But having a boyfriend or girlfriend is literally how people first actually learn about relationships and from there, they first-hand learn about things like red flags in relationships and etc.
Simply being friends won't give you all the basic knowledge of a very intimate relationship, since being friends or best friends have a closeness of less extent.
Also, people who had exes don't always translate to them being sexually promiscuous. Some had exes but didn't copulate with them and instead had those relationships because of LOVE not LUST. So please don't mix them up.
@@z_.5557 1. No it isn't. You are taking only a Western view while remaining ignorant about the multitude of other types of methods to form relationships. How do we know which one is right? Statistics and objectivity show us. The Islamic way shows us that learning about a person through talks with their friends, family, etc and getting to know their worldview, values, and so on is the way how marriages are sustainable. Statistics prove to us that gf-bf most often fail. If your theory was correct, then virgin marriages would have greater rates of divorce than people with more relationships. All studies show the opposite: virgin marriages have the least likelihood of divorce and they have the longest marriages. They also have the highest rates of reported happiness.
Correct, and this is why friendship for a future relationship does not work either.
Your last point is describing a small minority, not the majority of the Western world. What you are describing is called 'courtship' and was common in Europe hundreds of years ago but has been abandoned for most part.
@@zoybean I am NOT taking a Western view. Hell, I'm not even from the West.
And I'm not ignorant of the other ways. I literally mentioned that friends or best friends don't give ALL what you need to know about very intimate relationships. It also applies to family. Both are not entirely reliable when it comes to knowing about romantic relationships because
1. It all depends to the person's relationship with their family or the state of the family, and I doubt all households have a tight-knit relationship.
2. Friends and best friends keep certain relation distances unlike in gf or bf relationships, which are more intimate. They CAN give a CLUE of what it feels to have an actual romantic relationship if they have existing romantic relationships with someone.
And I know about the courtship thing. What I'm saying is about the people who found intimate comfort and romantic with eachother but became EXES should be differentiated from FLINGS.
@@z_.5557
Yes, you are taking a Western view. It doesn't matter where you're from, the IDEA of bf-gf is a Western one.
You have it backwards. What is initially required are values and morals that are compatible with the other partner. Other things like 'feelings', looks, personality etc. are secondary. And if you look at the past and how traditional societies had marriages done, you'll see that their marriages were happier, longer lasting, and much greater success rates. You're just ignoring the statistical evidence. How many people who have had bf/gf do you think break up from what they thought was a 'serious' relationship? The vast majority. How many virgin marriages end in divorce? The tiny minority.
Your entire arguments rely on how you THINK relationships should work, but they just don't work like that. You see, people learn to love each other, and this bond is easily formed initially. The more relationships one gets into, the less effective this pair-bonding principle becomes. If you have any statistical evidence for any of your claims, please offer proof.
1. If someone is not tight-knit, they can have a friend or experienced person they know find someone. Many families are not together BECAUSE of these non-traditional societies, eg bf-gf that contributes to the decay of family structure.
2. No need for it. If everything checks out, people can simply get married. Clues, feelings, and other intangible emotions are not statistically significant in finding someone good- people learn to love each other and that is what makes things work.
3. Exes and flings often overlap. If someone was serious, they would have just gotten married. That they did not, is simply a form of hypocrisy.
If the simple thought of legalizing divorce threatens your marriage, then you should rethink how strong your relationship with your spouse is.
If you're against divorce, then don't practice it. Furthermore, do not deny the rights of other individuals to choose who they want to be with or not. I'm a Filipino and I agree with divorce.
That's not a good argument. You could make the same argument in support of legalizing pedophilia. If you're against pedophilia, then don't practice it.
-- One thing that has become obscured in the modern age is the fact that life necessarily and beneficially involves struggle and unpleasantness. You don't learn much in school if you don't put aside your desire to go out and play for a while. You don't succeed in business without putting in a lot of hours of hard work. Lots of life's lessons are learned the hard way. Subjective desires are not reliable indicators of the path to long-term happiness. Divorce should perhaps be allowed, in order to allow the worst cases to dissolve, but made fairly difficult, in order to motivate people in temporary difficulty to work things out. Virtually no one ever finds a perfect partner, and no one will learn how to work the difficulties out without tolerating some hard times.
-- The longer explanation of these things involves the scientific attitude. Science objectifies and mathematizes the things it studies, and science gives us a lot of power to manipulate things in our material environment. When science is applied to people, though, what we're objectifying, mathematizing, and manipulating are other people. This may seem OK when you're the one applying the science, but less so when you are the person who is being objectified, turned into a number, and manipulated, like livestock. Yet the social sciences are very influential in modern thinking, with very little awareness of how the social sciences degrade human dignity.
-- One irony of our scientific times is the way we ignore the Darwinian survival of human customs. Traditions change slowly, but a look at the 5,000 years of human civilization shows huge changes and a wide variety of customs and traditions. The traditions that survive and the traditions that are found to be held in common among the majority of human cultures have withstood a lot of tests of trial and error and challenges from alternative ways of doing things. But despite this evolutionary history of customs and traditions, we like to think that we can figure everything out ourselves. The result is, among other things, a set of social sciences that has little constancy, and is subject to intellectual fads and fashions, some of them dangerous.
In the UK devorce has been so normalised that people get divorced because they're bored and dissatisfied. Destroying their children's wellbeing!
@@grizzlygrizzle It's a good argument if you add the word "harm". Everybody should have the right to lead their individual lives as they see fit, without external interference, as long as they don't harm others (or other's prospects to lead happy prosperous lives). In the case of "practicing pedophilia" children are harmed. Divorce doesn't harm anybody - in fact, forcing people to be together against their will creates a nightmarish cycle of endless lying and psychological abuse. Arguments against divorce aren't based on any evidence or nuanced understanding of human history and psychology. Religious principles are themselves a matter of personal preference and should be strictly limited to people's inner lives and spiritual guidance. Wouldn't it be better if religious people actually read holy texts and aspired to be faithful to them in their individual lives instead of shifting responsibility to external force (their government)?
@@KalinaRotten -- I didn't mention religion, though religion can, aside from its specifically religious aspects, serve as a vehicle for conveying the trial-and-error findings of a culture from one century to another. You should be aware that there are many social scientists who argue that often there's no harm done in pedophilia. What I was arguing against was the form of the original argument, which is a more sophisticated version of, "If you don't like X, then don't do X." This argument has been used again and again in the U.S. to justify abortion, and more recently, in the state of New York, abortion right up to the last moments of delivery, which is essentially infanticide. (Feminists cheered when this law was passed.)
-- One of the problems with the "If you don't like X, then don't do X" approach is that it seems to assume that human beings magically turn into morally mature adults at age 18, and that there are no common character disorders that persist into adulthood, and no moral guidance is required in adulthood. Programs for the reform of alcoholics, addicts, and prisoners would seem to contradict this, as well as even more common programs for broader behavioral guidance in churches, self-help movements, and psychotherapy. The extreme libertarian assumptions in "If you don't like X, then don't do X" don't really fit the moral landscape of humanity.
-- And it is ironic that with regard to abortion, such a libertarian argument is offered by people on the far left who in other areas are notorious control freaks with regard to other behaviors like so-called "hate speech," gun ownership, medical insurance, taxation and wealth accumulation, business regulations, and so on.
-- At the other end of the spectrum from libertarianism is totalitarianism, and though libertarians take too much for granted about humans' natural inclinations toward good behavior, totalitarians seem to ignore the importance of liberty in the development of a moral compass. You don't learn to do the right thing when no one is looking, if you never have any circumstances when no one is looking or no one is regulating your behavior.
-- There are some behaviors like murder, robbery, rape, and kidnapping that need to be outlawed, but there are lots of others for which discouragement is required, but for which harsh penalties would be disproportionate. Human life has lots of weak moments and moments of duress that tempt people to take easy ways out that later prove harmful to themselves or others. A lot of people do a lot of stupid things. But any "expert" is also subject to doing stupid things, even if he does them at a higher level. Totalitarian "utopias" like Nazism and communism are high-level stupid things, and have ended up killing millions and millions of people. There's no perfect system, given human imperfections. The best we can do is to punish the worst behaviors while discouraging the merely stupid.
Grease monkey thats the fault of the lawmakers for not making the law strict.
As a filipino myself I think we really need to seperate the church/religion and politics
Totally agree except some politicians rely on Church to endorse them during election time. Then the Church has a hold on most of them.
it is already separated unlike in Muslim area like Saudi Arabia - state and religion as one _ but in the Philippines - the Gov't stands alone , the same with the Church - The Church only bat in when she sees that there is something wrong that is going on or rather she is exercising her own PROPHETIC role because the people in the gov't are the people in the Church. how can you survive as person if you don't nourish your spiritual life? If you nourish only your physical life then you don't love at all. God is Love. Love is being preached by the Church and we are the church people. God did not talk in a loud speaker for us to hear but rather through the Church.
it's such a bad idea to seperate religion with politics. Kailangan nilang magkaisa kasi magkakaroon tayo ng parang barrier na naghahati sa mga mamamayan. We should be united as a nation. Ang religion natin ang naguunite sa atin and ang politics ang syang namamahala at pumoprotekta sa atin.
Say it to CBCP, the anti administration Damasos.
@@randomperson4161 no religion does not define us. There are many Catholic nations in the world and they do not care about the politics of their respective countries at all. Examples of which are the European countries. Catholicism is long gone from their constitution, and look at them. They are much more successful without the meddling of the church.
The thing is...even if the divorce law is passed that doesn’t mean all married couples will get forced to get divorced...so why can’t there be an option for those in domestic abuse who suffer and can’t get out
Edit: also my parents are literally on the verge of divorce and I’ve watched them fight from the age of 9 to now (15) and quite frankly I would like them to get divorced because I hate hearing it every single day...doesn’t help with mental health either....
It's an interesting topic.
I have been to the Philippines more than 10 times.
I have seen many single mothers in need.
I've heard that since annulment costs a lot , most of filipino young couples decide not to get married and typically a man tend to run away.
To protect those young ladies from having financial hardship , they should leagalize divorce then people can marry with less concerns.
Once couples have married legally.
so the court can mediate when they divorce.
The court can order the husband to pay Solatium and child support to his wife if he cheated or abused or something.
The man can't run away without agreement of divorce Because bigamy isn't allowed.
This system can protect women.

I don't know with others but if I speak or write "proper/formal" Cebuano (the ones you hear on the radios, or public announcements - they use words w/c are not used in daily conversations), I tend to think in English and try my best on how to translate it. The challenge for me always is talking in Tagalog...I sometimes think in Cebuano then process it in English in my mind on what's the equivalent Tagalog term. Nosebleed haha
As a Pakistani whose mother had way too many Filipino friends in Hong Kong, I can now understand half of this nutcase of a language. Like who the hell mixes English, Tagalog, Spanish and Japanese together?!

*INTERVIEWEE TRIGGERED*
No, for men it's really not a big deal, but for women it is. Men and women have different rules and standards.
The person who did the subs changed the way these people worded their opinion.
Jiro Conwi It aint that easy to translate bro.
but it is still mostly correct.
Jiro Conwi better than nothing at all
The subtitles are straight to the point of what the interviews are trying to say. I'd probably be like them where I will likely gonna go through several hoops for what I wanna say before reaching the point of what I'm saying. :D
Just trying to go straight to the point instead of word per word. It's hard to read a very long line when they are conversing fast
I live in Italy and most of my Filipinos friends have parents that aren't together anymore, making illegal doesn't keep ppl from doing it. I'm Christian and divorce is allowed in certain places in the Bible.
Im not really that religious but I dont think Divorce is in the bible tho, and as they promised when they were in their marriage "Till death do as part" i think it must be changed to "till death or divorce or annulment do as part" if it is
They also have many kids adoption homes because abortion is banned
I don't define myself religious, I do practice my faith and read my Bible. God hates divorced, but Moses allowed it because of people hearts, also Jesus condemns divorced but there are narrow cases, such as adultery , in which is allowed. Check Deuteronomy 24 and Matthew 5.
Some of my friends explained to me, there's a lack of sexual education.
Esco Royale it’s in the canon laws ✌🏼
They are acting like everyone is going to be divorced once the law is passed. So in that case, do they know deep inside that Marriage is a scam?
comment section:
10% about divorce
90% about the language they speak
I'm surprised so many are against divorce. Even one of the men said it would lead to more cheating which makes no sense.
we Filipinos have different beliefs with you... marriage is sacred to us... most of us don't want to legalize divorce, for me annulment is enough.. by the way I'm a product of broken family but still I don't want to legalize divorce..
Because that's what's fed to them by the church, and people are not even 'curious' enough to think outside of their irrational thinking.
@@princessabpet9746 Annulment is enough? Mayaman ka siguro.
@@Yami278 I don't go to the church but im against to divorce
Legalising divorce leads people to have more freedom to become unfaithful and not further workout their marriage to make it work because divorce allows them to separate at will. I think thats what the man was trying to say....I think.
Most Filipinos don't understand the difference between a divorce and an annulment. The reason annulments are so expensive is because they will spend so much time in court proving that the marriage was fruitless, that there was never a real marriage in the first place. In a divorce, you pretty much just cancel the marriage contract. This is why prenuptial agreements are almost always a must have.
I really support divorce in the Philippines, di lang yung type na maka-divorce kung gusto niyo lang, dapat may rason na maprove sa korte.
Nag pakasal kase sila tyaka humarap sila sa simbahan kaya bkt pa kayo maghihiwalay edi sana di na kayo nag pakasal parang kasalanan nayan sa diyos kase humarap kayo eh tapos maghihiwalay lang kayo
