00:00The topic of marital rape was discussed in the Senate hearing earlier.

00:07Senator Robin Padilla has made some clarifications regarding the laws regarding rape.

00:14The response of the resource person, Attorney Lorna Capunan,

00:19No means no.

00:23Ma'am Gonzales was shocked.

00:26That's what Senator Tolentino said.

00:28In the Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass Media hearing,

00:32regarding the allegations of sexual harassment in the media industry earlier,

00:36the topic of rape was discussed.

00:38When Family Lawyer and Women's Rights Advocate, Attorney Lorna Capunan said

00:42that even spouses can apply the law against rape,

00:46there were questions raised by the Committee Chairman, Senator Robin Padilla.

00:51My head hurts, I don't want it.

00:53The husband forced the woman to have sex.

00:57Is that rape?

00:58The answer is yes.

01:00So the former obligation of the spouse of the woman or man,

01:07when the spouse asks, the man or woman should give, that's not it anymore?

01:13No, when it's said no, no means no.

01:16So how can you say no is no?

01:20You just think it's a joke.

01:23It's like he doesn't want to, but he wants to.

01:26What is that?

01:27What are we pitiful for?

01:29Or if we, for example, are not in the mood,

01:32do we have the right to say no?

01:35No means no applies to both genders.

01:39It cannot be forced by the spouse.

01:43You don't choose when you're in heat.

01:48What if your spouse doesn't want to?

01:51There's no other way for the man.

01:56What if you're just a woman?

01:58We don't have a choice.

01:59You can just sleep.

02:01The issue there is not legal.

02:03The issue there is psychosocial.

02:07Capunan added that sometimes there is pain.

02:11The instance where the spouse is drunk,

02:16or under the influence of drugs,

02:19and wants to have sex with the wife,

02:25of course, under that circumstance,

02:28it will be violent,

02:30not out of love.

02:33Atty., there is no violence.

02:35He's not drunk.

02:36Out of urge.

02:38Your spouse is there to serve you.

02:41He doesn't want to.

02:42So what can I do so that my spouse won't complain?

02:47What can I say to him?

02:49Counseling.

02:50Counseling?

02:51Counseling is needed.

02:53Counseling.

02:54Or just pray.

02:56Capunan also explained to Padilla that under the law,

03:00the spouse is not obliged to obey his spouse.

03:04With all due respect,

03:06a wife's obligation is not to serve the husband.

03:14That's normal.

03:16I know.

03:17That's what's instilled in us.

03:19In fact, I'll just add,

03:21because there are many men here listening.

03:23We amended the family code to remove the obligation of obedience.

03:29In a way.

03:30That's why it's important,

03:31the issue of mutual respect.

03:33If your spouse refuses,

03:38whether valid or not,

03:40let's respect the decision of the wife or the husband in that case.

03:46In the latest National Demographic and Health Survey of 2022,

03:502.3% of women experienced sexual violence from their spouse or relationship.

03:58That's the highest in Bicol Region, Ilocos Region, and in Mimaropa.

04:02The data is different for those who experienced emotional violence and physical violence.

04:07Atty. Capunan cited those who are philosophizing in the definition of rape.

04:12They said, how about the dentist?

04:15I'm telling you.

04:16What if a dentist puts an instrument into the mouth?

04:20Let's not trivialize the crime of rape.

04:25Let's not be philosophizing.

04:29Because the allegations of rape are serious.

04:33Even in this law, it's life imprisonment.

04:37Especially if there's a qualifying circumstance.

04:43For the GMA Integrated News,

04:45Mav Gonzales speaking for 24 Hours.
