00:00 The absolute divorce bill has been presented to the House.
00:03 Will it be passed by our countrymen?
00:06 We will find out in the first news live of EJ Gomez.
00:09 Yay!
00:10 Susan, the House Bill 9349 or Absolute Divorce Act has been approved in the third and last reading in the House.
00:23 And we will find out what the Filipinos say about it.
00:28 Let's go to the House.
00:29 Most of the people were favoring our question about how to get a divorce in the Philippines.
00:38 It's an opportunity for couples who are not in a relationship and for those who have experienced abuse to be free from the relationship.
00:46 It depends on the situation of the partner.
00:50 Like my personal experience, my mom was abused but she couldn't do anything because divorce is very expensive.
00:57 It will be beneficial to the Filipino people.
01:01 There will be more chances for freedom.
01:05 For now, only legal separation and annulment can be filed in the country by anyone who wants to be free from an abusive relationship.
01:12 I am in favor of the approval of the divorce bill since I have a friend who is undergoing annulment.
01:19 Their funds are running out. The filing of the annulment case is not yet over.
01:26 According to the camera, 126 people are in favor of the annulment while 109 people are against it.
01:32 20 people abstained.
01:34 According to Albay First District Representative Edson Lagman, who is the head of the committee and the sponsor of House Bill 9349,
01:42 the annulment is urgently necessary for couples who are not in a relationship.
01:47 Under the annulment, as far as those who can be the witnesses in the filing of the divorce,
01:52 the divorce should be legalized even if we are Catholic.
02:20 I think the reason why people are divorcing is because of the existing abuse that they have in their relationship.
02:31 Most people say that if there is no one to push the relationship forward, it is better to separate.
02:42 Susan, we also noticed the gossip that we talked about earlier about the adoption of children of spouses.
02:52 It is appropriate to think about it before choosing a divorce.
02:58 That is the first news from Manila. EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
