Separated Senators

[Ateo]

Two senators recently admitted that they have separated with their wives. They are Chiz Escudero, who has presidential ambitions; and Koko Pimentel, who will be battling for this precarious toehold in the Senate. These relatively younger senators believe that it is better to separate than live false lives for the sake of what the public might think. Or their wives made this decision.

At any rate, when do we have the divorce law? I'm sure these senators can easily get an annulment. But annulment is a very complicated and expensive process not available to ordinary people. We need social reforms in our laws, senators.

divorce or annulment...same same.

it's just a matter of records.

AH! AH! AH! AH! AH!

AH! AH! AH! AH! AH!

So, if they are the same, then let us just legalize divorce then. It is already existing as annulment anyway.

sa records nga lang nagkakatalo...sa records lang nagkakaiba ang dalawang iyan.

legalities aside, gastos, oras at effect...same-same.

kung tutuusin, mas matindi pa nga ang annulment kaysa divorce.

AH! AH! AH! AH! AH!

But you did not answer my question. My question was, "so, let us just legalize divorce?" (Do you agree?)

Yah divorce and annulment are the same sh1t, but with different names just to satisfy the stupid priests, but that sh1t called annulment is even stinkier. Philippine politicos are a bunch of cowards, Ateo.

personally wala naman akong problema about legalising divorce but i have to disagree due to the following reasons:

a. for me it will just be a waste of time and more importantly money ng taong bayan. same...same din naman halos.

b. legalising divorce might be another grounds for division (for conservatives and non-conservatives) in our already divided country. the least we need in our country is further division.

degree-wise mas matindi pa nga ang annulment kaysa divorce. why do you think we still need another form of legal separation which is considered inferior naman kumpara sa existing one? don't tell me, for records purposes. pahabaan ng list ng mga naging asawa.

its like saying: why do you still need friendster when you already have facebook?

AH! AH! AH! AH! AH!

Congressman Tony Golez of Bacolod denied he is the cause of the separation of Senator & Mrs. Koko Pimentel. Nalaman tuloy natin ang dahilan, heheheeh.

Back to the issue, divorce is different from annulment. Annulment declares that the marriage was null -- not even existing. It automatically renders all children as illegitimate (ayaw ni Lord ng illegimates). To nullify a marriage, there are very strict qualifications, basically necessitating that one party is a mental case. Divorce simply ends a valid marriage. And there could be valid reasons to end it, like loss of affection na, heheheheh.

Yes, but prikongkong says its the same sh1t, the effect on society that is. Niloloko lang natin ang mga sarili natin.

Philippines is now the only country without divorce. Malta gives in.

a: Annulment costs more, takes more time and involves the clergy with the funny hat.

b. Further division? What does that mean?
Legalizing divorce would give people a choice: the easy, less expensive way - so people can move on with their lives or/ the medieval way.

In other words, friendster is quaint, old and cumbersome, whereas facebook is easier to use and more accessible to everyone.

not absolutely true. question whether which is expensive and lengthy varies from one place to another.

b. Further division? What does that mean?

i've already mentioned it in my last post (i.e. conservatives and non-conservatives). i am pretty sure you know what i mean. cut the chase.

to be honest, i agree with some of the posters here. it's the same shit.

AH! AH! AH! AH! AH!

^ We're talking about divorce in the Philippines, right? How can you compare annulment with something nonexistent.

Lagyan nalang ng expiry date ang mga kasal. After 10 irenew nalang kung nagmamahalan pa kayo.

^ This makes the MOST sense. Perhaps 5 years lang?
