1. INTRODUCTION
PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE, PEOPLE FALL OUT OF
LOVE. DO WE NEED TO STAY OR IT’S
ENOUGH? IS THERE A HOPE FOR A BROKEN
MARRIAGE OR NONE AT ALL? DIVORCE HAS
ALWAYS BEEN A CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE IN
THE PHILIPPINES. TERMINATING A SACRED
UNION IS STILL A CRUCIAL AND
COMPLICATED DECISION FOR BOTH THE
CHURCH AND STATE. THE FILIPINOS ARE
STILL NOT READY TO MAKE A DECISION, SO
THE QUESTION LOOMS: SHOULD THE
PHILIPPINES LEGALIZE DIVORCE?
MODERATOR: GOOD DAY LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN. WELCOME TO LEGAL
TECHNIQUE AND LOGIC DEBATE 2022. THE
TOPIC BEING DEBATED IS SHOUD THE
PHILIPPINES LEGALIZE DIVORCE?
REPRESENTING THE AFFIRMATIVE SIDE IS
MR. HERBERT MONPONBANUA AND ON THE
OPPOSITION SIDE IS FR. JUAN GABON. FOR
THE FIRST ROUND, THE OPPOSING SIDE WILL
GIVE THEIR REASONS WHY THEY ARE IN
FAVOR AND AGAINST THE DIVORCE, FOR THE
SECOND ROUND THEY WILL GIVE THEIR
ARGUMENTATION FOLLOWED BY THE
CONCLUSION. ALSO THEY WILL BE GIVEN
THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK EACH OTHER A
QUESTION AND AFTERWHICH THE
MODERATOR WILL GIVE HIS CONCLUSION.

2. HERBERT
MY NAME IS HERBERT MONPONBANUA AND I AM IN FAVOR IN
LEGALIZING DIVORCE IN THE PHILIPPINES BECAUSE THE PHILIPPINES
AND THE VATICAN ARE ONLY AMONG THE COUNTRIES WHERE DIVORCE
IS NOT LEGAL. IT’S TRUE THAT WE PROTECT THE SANCTITY OF
MARRIAGE, BUT WHAT IS THERE TO PROTECT WHEN IT’S ALREADY
BROKEN? WHEN ONE FALL’S OUT LOVE, FALL OUT OF TRUST AND
WHERE ONE IS A SUBJECT OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE? CAN A FAMILY
FOUNDED ON HATRED, DISTRUST AND DISRESPECT BE A GOOD
FOUNDATION OF THE STATE? MANY FAILED IN UNHAPPY MARRIAGES
AND DIVORCE IS NOT DEVASTATING AS FILIPINO THINK IT IS, FOR ME ITS
NOW TIME TO LEGALIZE DIVORCE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

3. MODERATOR: THAT’S THE OPINION OF THE AFFIRMATIVE SIDE, IT I NOW
THE TIME OF THE OPPOSING SIDE TO GIVE HIS OPINION. THE TIME IS
YOURS:

4. FATHER JOHN
MY NAME IS FATHER JOHN GABON AND AS A CATHOLIC PRIEST, I
STRONGLY CONDEMN THE EXISTENCE OF A DIVORCE BILL IN THE
PHILIPPINES. FOR ME, ITS ANTI-FAMILY, ANTI-CHILDREN, AGAINST THE
CHRISTIAN FAITH AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL. IT IS AGAINST THE FILIPINO
CULTURE OF HAVING A STRONG FAMILY TIES, IT IS IMMORAL, AND WILL
ONLY INCREASE THE NUMBER OF BROKEN FAMILIES WHICH IS THE
FOUNDATION OF FILIPINO SOCIETY. IT WILL ALSO INCREASE THE
NUMBER OF CHILDREN DEPRIVED OF PARENTAL GUIDANCE THAT MAY
HAVE DEVASTATING EFFECTS. IT MAY LEAD TO JUVENILE DELINQUENTS
WHO ARE EXPOSED TO DRUGS AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE, PRE-MARITAL
SEX AND TEENAGE PREGNANCY AMONG OTHERS

5. MODERATOR: THAT’S THE OPINION OF THE NEGATIVE SIDE. ITS NOW
THE TIME FOR THE POSITIVE SIDE TO GIVE HIS ARGUMENTS.

6. HERBERT:
UNLIKE ANNULMENT, DIVORCE IS THE CHEAPER OPTION FOR FILIPINO’S WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR FAMILY AND MARRIAGES. THE PROCESS IS
ALSO LESS TEDIOUS AND FASTER THAN ANNULMENT WHICH ALSO MAKE THE MARRIAGE BONDS SEVERED AND TERMINATED ALLOWING SUCH
HUSBANDS AND WIVES TO RETURN TO THEIR STATUS OF BEING SINGLE WITH THE RIGHT TO CONTRACT MARRIAGE, THEREBY GIVING BOTH
PARTIES EARLIER OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD THEIR LIVES ALL OVER AGAIN. THE LAW ALTHOUGH TAGGED AS PRO-WOMEN, NONETHELESS GIVES
OPPORTUNITY TO BOTH PARTIES WHO ARE BATTERED AND DESERTED AND VICTIMS OF ADULTERY TO REGAIN THEIR HUMANITY, SELF-RESPECT
AND FREEDOM FROM IRREDEEMABLY FAILED MARRIAGES AND UTTERLY DYSFUNCTIONAL UNIONS.

7. MODERATOR: THANK YOU, HOW ABOUT THE ARGUMENTS FROM
FATHER JOHN GABON?

8. FR JOHN
THE 1987 CONSTITUTION WHICH IS THE FUNDAMENTAL LAW OF THE
LAND PROVIDES THAT THE STATE RECOGNIZES THE FILIPINO FAMILY AS
THE FOUNDATION OF THE NATION AND ACCORDINGLY, IT SHALL
STRENGTHEN ITS SOLIDARITY AND ACTIVELY PROMOTE ITS TOTAL
DEVELOPMENT. ALSO, THE CONSTITUTION PROVIDES THAT MARRIAGE
IS AN INVIOLABLE SOCIAL INSTITUTION, IT IS THE FOUNDATION OF THE
FAMILY AND SHALL BE PROTECTED BY THE STATE. THIS IS A STRONG
MANIFESTATION THAT FILIPINOS VALUE STRONG FAMILY TIES AND
PROTECTS THE FAMILY ESPECIALLY THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS WHICH
WILL SHAPE THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY. WITH THESE, LEGALIZING
DIVORCE NORMALIZE BROKEN FAMILES AND MAY INFLUENCE A CHILD
TO LOSE FAITH IN THE CONCEPT OF A FAMILY. THIS IS ALSO DAMAGING
TO THE CHILD’S ENTIRE WELL-BEING INCLUDING HIS MENTAL,
EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL STATE WHICH MAY PRODUCE
PROBLEMATIC GENERATIONS TO THE DETRIMENT OF OUR NATION.

9. MODERATOR: WE ARE NOW TRUE WITH THE ARGUMENTS, THE POSITIVE SIDE
WILL NOW GIVE HIS CONCLUDING STATEMENT:

10. HERBERT:
IT MAY BE PAINFUL TO SEE THAT WHAT WAS ONCE A FAMILY FOUNDED ON SO
MUCH LOVE, RESPECT TRUST AND FIDELITY IS NOW A HORRIFYING
EXPERIENCE AS A RESULT OF VIOLENCE, ADULTERY, JEALOUSNESS AND LACK
OF UTTER RESPECT. WHAT IS THERE LEFT TO FIGHT WHEN IT THERE’S NO HOPE
AT ALL, WHEN YOUR SUPPOSED BETTER HALF DOESN’T CARE AT ALL AND
LEAVE YOU WOUNDED, SHATTERED AND THAT FEELING OF EMPTINESS AND
LACK OF SELF WORTH. WITH THE APPROVAL OF DIVORCE, YOU CAN REGAIN
YOUR HAPPINESS, THE FACT THAT YOU ARE APPROACHING A DIVORCE MEANS
THAT YOU ARE NOT HAPPY WITH YOUR CURRENT MARRIAGE. YOU ALSO
BECOME A BETTER PARENT, WHEN YOU ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP THAT YOU
DON’T LIKE, YOU ALWAYS HAVE YOUR MIND FOCUSED ON OTHER THINGS
RATHER THAN THE PARENTHOOD. AFTER A DIVORCE, YOU WILL HAVE A
CHANCE TO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN BETTER AND ELUDE THEM FROM AN
ENVIRONMENT OF VIOLENCE. DIVORCE WILL ALSO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO
LOVE YOURSEL, FOR IF YOU ARE IN A VIOLENT RELATIONSHIP, YOU WILL
ALWAYS HAVE REASONS TO BLAME AND HATE YOURSELF. A DIVORCE WILL
ALSO PUT AN END TO A MARITAL ABUSE IN A CHEAPER AND FASTER PROCESS.

11. MODERATOR: THANK YOU. WHAT ABOUT THE CONCLUSION FROM THE
OPPOSING SIDE:

12. FR JOHN
MARRIAGE IS SACRED AND DIVORCE SHOULD NOT BE LEGALIZED IN OUR
COUNTRY. BROKEN FAMILIES SHOULD NOT BE NORMALIZED AND
INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON BREAKING THE BASIC UNIT OF OUR SOCIETY
WE MUST ENDEAVOR AND PUT OUR BEST EFFORT IN FIXING AND
STRENGHTENING THEM. DIVORCE WILL ONLY MAKE THE MATTER
WORST, FOR ITS EFEFCTS WILL NEVER BE BENEFICIAL TO OUR CHILDREN.
IT WILL BE INIMICAL TO THEIR PHYSICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL AND
EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE FUTURE OF OUR
COUNTRY. ALSO, IT WAS PROVEN THAT DIVORCE HAS DEVASTATING
EFFECTS TO THE SPOUSES SUCH AS THAT FEELING OF LONELINESS,
HELPLESSNESS AND FAILURE. THEREFORE, LET US CONTINUE IN
PROMOTING THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE, FOR WHAT GOD HAS JOINED
TOGETHER LET NO ONE SEPARATE

13. MODERATOR: THANK YOU, FATHER JOHN. WE WILL NOW GIVE THE
OPPOSING SIDE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTION. FIRST TO ASK IS THE
AFFIRMATIVE SIDE.

14. HERBERT: FATHER JOHN, IF YOU ARE NOT IN FAVOR OF DIVORCE DO YOU
THINK ANULLMENT AND LEGAL SEPARATION IS THE BEST OPTION FOR
SPOUSES WHO WANT TO SEVERE THEIR MARITAL BOND CONSIDERING
OUR EXPERIENCES IN THE PHILIPPINES?

15. FATHER JOHN: THE ANNULMENT WHICH IS BASE ON PSYCHOLGICAL
GROUNDS ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES A LONG AND TEDIOUS PROCESS
AND A LEGAL SEPARATION WHICH DO NOT GIVE THE SPOUSES THE
RIGHT TO REMARRY ARE ENOUGH REMEDY FOR SPOUSES TO SEVERE
THEIR MARITAL BONDS. OUR LAW REGARDING ANNULMENT AND LEGAL
SEPARATION PROVIDED VALID REQUIREMENTS AND ENSURED THAT THE
TERMINATION OF MARRIAGE FOR COUPLES IS NOT SUBJECTED TO THEIR
WHIMS AND CAPRICES OR IN OTHER WORDS AN AVENUE FOR THE
COUPLES TO SEVERE THEIR TIES WHENEVER THEY WANTED TO

16. MODERATOR: THANK YOU FATHER JOHN, ITS NOW YOUR TIME TO ASK A
QUESTION.

17. FATHER JOHN: DO YOU THINK DIVORCE WILL NOT RUIN FAMILIES AND
THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE?

18. HERBERT: DIVORCE LAW IS GIVING AN OPTION TO FILIPINOS ESPECIALLY
WOMEN WHO ARE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TO EXIT FROM AN
IREDEEMABLY FAILED MARRIAGES. IT WILL DO MORE GOOD THAN
HARM TO CHILDREN FOR THEY WILL BE SAVED FROM A CULTURE OF
VIOLENCE. IT IS A CHANCE TO FREE THEMSELVES FROM ABUSIVE,
LONELY AND LOVELESS RELATIONSHIP AND A CHANCE TO FIND LOVE
AND START ALL OVER AGAIN IN A FAMILY WHERE THEY ARE LOVED,
VALUED AND RESPECTED. IT DOESN’T RUIN FAMILIES, IT FIXES THEM.
THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE IS BEST PROTECTED WHEN IT IS FOUNDED
ON LOVE, MUTUAL TRUST AND RESPECT NOT IF IT IS ONLY TAKEN FOR
GRANTED.

19. MODERATOR: THANK YOU. QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION IS
COMPLETED.
FROM THIS DEBATE WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT LEGALIZATION OF
DIVORCE IN THE PHILIPPINES HAS A LOT OF POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE
EFFECTS TO THE LIVES OF THE FILIPINOS. AS A COUNTRY WHERE
CHRISTIANISM IS DOMINANT, THE LEGALIZATION OF DIVORCE STILL
REMAINS A CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE BUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF
PRESENT TIMES MAY FAVOR IT OTHERWISE. THANK YOU ALL FOR
LISTENING AND GOOD DAY EVERYONE!
