Legalize Divorce in the Philippines

The Issue

Although the Philippines is the last country in the world where divorce remains illegal, the time has come to allow adults the freedom to choose their own personal paths and relationships. As per the Pew Research Center, the Philippines is the only country, other than the Vatican, where divorce is still not legal. This lack of choice places an unbearable burden on those trapped in unhappy or unhealthy marriages. Changing the law could potentially improve the well-being of millions of Filipinos and help to prevent serious mental and physical health issues associated with unhealthy marriages. It's time to respect personal choices and rights. Change is necessary, and every signature brings us a step closer. Support the push to legalize divorce in the Philippines by signing this petition today.
