The Commission reaffirms the Catholic Churchโs teaching on the sanctity and indissolubility of marriage. Marriage is a sacred covenant between GOD, man and a woman, intended to be a lifelong union. The sacrament of marriage is foundational to the family and society, and it should be nurtured and protected.
The introduction of a legal framework for divorce undermines this covenant and promotes a culture of disposability and impermanence in relationships. The consequences of divorce are almost impossible to overstate. It will be like dropping a nuclear bomb into our nationโs social ecosystemโthe blast wave will hit millions of families, and the fallout is worse than we could imagine.

By making divorce more accessible, we risk increasing the number of children who will experience these adverse effects.
The current legal framework already provides avenues for addressing irreparable marital issues through legal separation and annulment, which do not carry the same social and cultural implications as divorce and aligned more closely with Catholic teachings. Rather than introducing divorce, efforts should be focused on strengthening marriage through pre-marital counseling, marriage enrichment programs, and providing support systems for couple facing difficulties.
The Commission will provide support for married couples through counseling, pastoral care, and community support systems. This support is seen as crucial in helping couples navigate challenges and strengthen their relationship. There is a call for programs that promote the enrichment of marital relationships and family life, emphasizing communication, mutual respect, and conflict resolution.
The Commission calls on our esteemed Senators to consider the long-term implications of the Divorce Bill on Filipino society and to prioritize the welfare of families.
We, the Family and Life Commission, conclude with a reaffirmation of our commitment to promoting the values of marriage and family life. We emphasize our dedication to accompanying couples in their marital journey, offering support and resources to help them build strong, resilient families.
