1Philippines: Debate on Divorce BillFilipina: Adihevitra Mikasika ny Volavolan-dalàna Momba Ny Fisarahana Am-Panambadiana
2Just before the intense debate on the Reproductive Health bill, Filipinos are once more at odds with each other in considering another controversial piece of legislation: the Divorce bill.Mialoha ny adihevitra mafàna mikasika ny Volavolan-dalàna Momba Fahasalamana ara-Pananahana, efa tsy miombon-kevitra amin-javatra iray sahady indray ny Filipiana amin'ny fandinihana ilay ampahan-dalàna iray mahabe resaka : ny lalàna momba ny fisaraham-panambadiana.
3The debate on legalizing divorce took a kick-start when news of Maltese referendum favoring divorce reached the Philippines a few days ago.Ilay adihevitra momba ny fandinihana ny lafiny araka ny lalàna momba ny fisaraham-panambadiana dia nanomboka tamin'ny nahenoana tany Filipina ny vaovao mikasika ny fitsapan-kevi-bahoaka natao tany Malta nanome alàlana sy nampanjary ho ara-dalàna ny fisaraham-panambadiana andry vitsy talohan'izao.
4This has prompted progressive groups to make a bolder call for the country to follow in Malta's steps and legalize divorce in a predominantly Catholic nation.Io dia nanosika koa ireo vondrona tia fanavaozana hampiaka-peo hitaky ny firenena hanaraka ny dian'i Malta ka hanao izay haha ara-dalàna ny fisaraham-panambadiana ao amin'ity firenena ity izay Katolika no betsaka amin'ny vahoakany.
5The debate on divorce is nothing new, see here AttyatWork's round-up of talking points on the issue from last year.Tsy zava-baovao ny adihevitra momba ny fisaraham-panambadiana, jereo eto ny fantina momba ireo fomba fijery nandritra ny atrikasa AttyatWork tamin'ny taona lasa manodidina io olana io .
6Filipino Thinkers has a great digest of how the debate was settled and how the referendum unfolded in Malta.Filipino Thinkers dia manana famehezana goavana tokoa momba ny fomba nitondràna ny adihevitra sy ny safidy hanao ny fitsapankevi-bahoaka tao Malta.
7More importantly, it provides a side by side comparison of the issue between the Philippines and Malta:Mbola tsaratsara kokoa noho izay, manao fampitahàna ny olana misy ao Filipina sy tany Malta ihany koa izy io.
8Aside from the happy ending, which left the Philippines the only country without divorce1, the story of Malta's divorce referendum shares similarities with our own reproductive health (RH) debates:Ankoatry ny fiafarany nahafaly, izay nametraka an'i Filipina ho hany firenena tokana tsy misy divorce1, misy itovitoviany amin'ny adihevitra nataontsika momba ny fahasalamana ara-pananahana (RH) ny fitsapankevi-bahoaka momba ny fisarahana am-panambadiana tany Malta:
9both countries are last bastions of Catholicism: Malta in Europe, the Philippines in Asia; both countries are predominantly Catholic: 95% in Malta, 80% in the Philippines; and both battles are primarily between progressive Catholics and conservative bishops.Ireo firenena roa ireo dia samy kitro ifaharan'ny fivavahana Katolika: Malta ao Eoraopa, ary Filipina any Azia; Ny Katolika no tena betsaka any amin'ireo firenena roa ireo: 95% ao Malta, 80% aoFilipina; ireo ady roa ireo dia eo amin'ny eveka mpifikitra amin'ny teo aloha sy ireo Katolika mpandàla fihavaozana no tena misy.
10And in both cases, the conservative bishops use fear mongering to keep their flock in line.Ary amin'ireo tranga roa ireo, ireo eveka mpifikitra amin'ny teo aloha dia mampiasa ny fampitahorana mba hitazonana sy hifehezana ny ondriny.
11For a quick refresher on the differences between divorce, annulment and legal separation, Lyle R. Santos has a quick guide in layman's terms.Mba hijerena malaky ny fahasamihafana misy amin'ny fisarahana am-panambadiana, ny fanafoanana ary ny fisarahana araka ny lalàna, manana toro-làlana malaky momba ireo tranga samihafa i Lyle R.
12With Malta's approval of divorce, the Philippines is now the lone country in the world that prohibits it.Santos. Miaraka amin'ny fankatoavana ny fisarahana am-panambadiana any Malta, i Filipina izany sisa no firenena tokana mandràra azy io manerana izao tontolo izao.
13For Blue Dela Kanluran, the debate on divorce should not be framed on this fact alone:Ho an'i Blue Dela Kanluran, ny adihevitra momba ny fisarahana am-panambadiana dia tsy tokony hafototra fotsiny amin'izay zava-misy izay:
14As i had stated earlier my stand is against divorce however, I will not begrudge a sovereign nation of their right to decide whats best for their country and themselves as Malta has displayed here.Tahaka izay efa nambarako tany aloha dia manohitra ny fisarahana am-panambadiana aho na izany aza, tsy misakana firenena iray izay manana ny fiandrianany aho hisafidy izay heveriny ho mendrika ho an'ny firenena sy ho azy ireo, sahala amin'izay nasehon'i Malta.
15(See, that is an example of the separation of Church and State).(Jereo, izany no ohatra amin'ny fisarahan'ny Fitondrana sy ny Finoana.
16Which leads me to wonder, what effects will the stigma of the only country which outlaws divorce have on the Philippines?Nitarika ahy hanontany tena izany, inona no ho fiantraikan'ny maha- hany firenena tokana an-tany mandràra ny fisarahana am-panambadiana ao Filipina?
17Personally, I think this will make pro-divorce legislation in the future more difficult not only because of the meddling of the Church but with the stigma earlier stated as well (Which is not how legislation should be argued).Raha ny hevitro manokana, hampanano-sarotra ny lalàna mankasitraka ny fisarahana am-panambadiana io amin'ny ho avy, tsy hoe fotsiny noho ny fitsabahan'ny fiangonana fa noho ny holatra efa nambara tany aloha (izay tsy amin'izany mihitsy no tokony hifandresen-dahatra momba ny lalàna)
18Cocoy views the near-approval of the Reproductive Health and now the Divorce bill as a ‘reboot‘ of the Philippines, moving from a predominantly religious state in a secular one: If the Reproductive Health bill becomes law, and it is followed by a divorce bill?Cocoy mahita fa efa naman'ny lany sahady ny volavolan-dalàna momba ny Fahasalamana ara-pananahana ary amin'izao fotoana ny volavolan-dalàna momba ny fisarahana am-panambadiana dia tahaka ny ‘reboot‘ ho an'i Filipina (Avy amin'ny mpandika: raha amin'ny resaka solosaina, dia fiaingana vaovao indray no hevitry ny ‘reboot'), miala amin'ny toeran'ny fanjakana anjakan'ny resa-pinoana ho amina fitondrana laika:
19That would be one continuity reboot for the Philippines. It signals that the nation is slowly becoming secular and less under the thrall of the Vatican.Ka raha mivadika ho lalàna moa ilay volavolan-dalàna momba ny Fahasalamana ara-pananahana, ary arahan'ny volavolan-dalàna momba n y fisarahana am-panambadiana avy eo?
20As a Catholic, for me, it presents an opportunity for the Church to focus on the spiritual.Dia fiaingàna roa sosona ho an'i Filipina izany. Manamarika izany fa miofo miandàlana ho firenena laika tsy ho eo ambany vahohon'i Vatikana intsony.
21I want sermons and direction that make me a better person.Amin'ny maha-Katolika, ho ahy, manome vintana iray ho an'ny fiangonana izany mba hifantohany bebe kokoa amin'ny ara-panahy.
22I don't need the Church to tell me what is wrong with government.Mila toriteny sy tari-dàlana aho mba hahatonga ahy ho olona mendrika.
23Filipinos everywhere already know what's wrong with our nation.Tsy ilaiko akory ny fiangonana hiteny hoe inona no tsy mety ao amin'ny governemanta ao.
24It is that time in history that we fix it.Ireo Filipiana any rehetra any dia efa mahalala sahady ny tsy mety eo amin'ny fireneny.
25I need my church to help guide that poor maid who is always beaten up by her husband.Fotoana hanan-tantara izao mba hanitsiantsika izany. Ilaiko hitondra fanampiana ho an'io ramatoa mpikarakara tokantrano matetika matim-bonon'ny vadiny io ny fiangonana.
26I need a Church that guides street children away from the streets, and into education.Ilaiko ho mpitari-dàlana ireo ankizy mpirenireny an-dalambe sy hampiditra azy ireny an-tsekoly ny fiangonana.
27I need this church to be relevant.Mila io fiangonana io hanao zavatra aho.
28Dreamwalker takes delight in the fact that this proposed laws, no matter how dividing and controversial, sparks debate among society, thus encouraging everyone to take part in the national discourse:Dreamwalker mahita fifaliana amin'ny zava-misy hoe ity volavolan-dalàna ity, tsy raharahiana izay fisamantsamahana sy fifanoheran-kevitra any, dia miteraka adihevitra eo amin'ny fiarahamonina, ary dia mandrisika ny tsirairay handray anjara amin'ny fifanakalozan-kevitra eto amin'ny firenena :
29I continue to be amazed by how Filipinos seem to be more aware of what is happening in the country and how we seek to be more informed about our laws - both proposed and existing.Mitohy zendana hatrany aho amin'ny fahitàna ny Filipiana toa lasa manara-maso akaiky ny zava-mitranga ao amin'ny fireneny sy ny fomba ataontsika hahazo vaovao misimisy kokoa mikasika ny lalàna eto amintsika - na ny vao atolotra na ny efa nisy.
30In my opinion, this can only lead to more good.Raha ny hevitro, hitondra ho amin'ny zavatra tsara ihany izany.
31Never mind that there will always bAza miasa loha hoe hisy foana izany
32Maju brings forward a valid point in cautioning that our lawmakers should take up the divorce law with a keener eye:Maju di amitondra tohan-kevitra mazava amin'ny fampitandremana fa hoe mpanao lalànantsika dia tokony hijery tsara an'ilay laàna momba ny fisarahana am-panambadiana amin'ny maso mahiratra tsara:
33We should also get onto considerations on how good or bad are existing divorce laws. In many countries, notably those under the Sharia, the rights of women and men in divorce are not the same.Tokony horaisintsika anaty kajikajy ihany koa ny tsara sy ny ratsy amin'ny fisian'ny lalàna momba ny fisarhana am-panambadiana. any amin'ny firenena maro, indrindra fa ireo fehezin'ny Sharia, tsy mitovy ny zon'ny lahy sy ny vavy faritan'ny lalàna amin'ny resaka fisarahana am-panambadiana.
34Lastly, here's a good discussion by a lawyer, Connie Veneracion, about annulment, legal separation under current Philippine laws and how divorce could plug the holes in the current Family Code:Farany, ity misy resaka mahasoa avy amina mpisolovava iray, Connie Veneracion, momba ny fanafoanana fanambadiana, ny fisarahana araka ny lalàna misy amin'izao fotoana ao anatin'ny lalàna Filipiana ary ny fomba mety hanentsenan'ny fisarahana am-panambadiana ny lavaka eo amin'ny Fepetran'ny fianakaviana ankehitriny:
35Later on, however, it became clear that despite the leeway allowed by the concept of psychological incapacity, there was a huge gaping hole in the law.Taoriana kely, na izany aza, nazava ihany fa na teo aza ny hakelin'ny fahafaha-mihetsika omen'ilay hoe tsy fahatomombanana ara-psikolojika, misy lavaka mangotanatàna be ao anatin'ilay lalàna.
36Annulment is a very expensive legal procedure beyond the financial capacity of majority of the Filipinos.Làlana lavitr'ezaka be ny fanafoanana fanambadiana araka ny lalàna raha jerena amin'ny ara-bolan'ny ankabeazan'ireo Filipiana.
37The laundrywoman living in the slums who is physically abused by the drunken jobless husband could not afford it.Ny mpanasa lamba miaina anaty trano tsy zarizary ary iharan'ny herisetra ara-nofo ataon'ny vadiny mpimamo lava dia tsy ho afaka mihitsy hanao an'izany.
38In addition to the expense, the process was a long and tedious one.Ankoatry ny fandaniana, elabe sy mandreraka ny dingana arahana.
39Eventually, the divorce advocates started making noise again.Farany, ireo mpomba ny fisarahana am-panambadiana dia nanomboka nitabataba indray.
40As expected, the Catholic church is getting more imaginative in coming up with arguments against divorce.Araka ny efa nahiana, ny fiangonana Katolika dia manana fomba fandinika misimisy kokoa nentiny niaraka tamin'ny fandresena lahatra hanoherana ny fisarahana am-panambadiana.
41It is sad that most Filipinos cannot view marriage independently from its religious context.Mampalahelo fa betsaka amin'ny Filipiana no tsy afaka mijery n y fanambadiana ivelan'ny sehatry ny ara-pinoana.
42It is even more sad that most Filipinos do not consider themselves validly married unless married in church.Fa mbola mampalahelo kokoa ny mahita fa ny ankabeazan'ny Filipiana dia tsy mihevitra ny fanambadiany ho misy lanjany sy ara-dalàna raha tsy nandalo fiangonana.
43Very sad indeed.Faran'izay mampalahelo.
44So, will the passage of a divorce law patch the loopholes in the Family Code?Noho izay, hameno ny banga amin'ny fahabangana misy ao amin'ny Fepetran'ny Fanambadiana ve ny fandaniana lalàna momba ny fisarahana am-panambadiana?
45It depends on what the law will allow as valid grounds for divorce and what the required procedure will be.Miankina amin'ny hoe inona no avelan'ny lalàna hataontsika ho antony ara-dalàna hisarahana am-panambadiana ary inona no dingana harahana.
46It has happened before that a law is passed as some sort of pacifier.Tany aloha dia efa nitranga ny hoe lalàna iray nolaniana toy ny vatomamy fitsentsitra (bonbon secette).
47Congress can pass a “divorce” law which such narrow grounds and complex process that it will effectively negate the very purpose of a divorce.Afaka mandany lalàna iray momba ny ‘fisarahana' am-panambadiana ny Kongresy, izay sehatra tery kely sy dingana manahirana mety handà ny tena anton'ilay fisarahana am-panambadiana. Mba fantatrareo, mba hilazana fotsiny fa hoe lany ilay lalàna momba ny fisarahana am-panambadiana.
48You know, just so it can be said that a divorce law has been passed.Manahy aho ny hoe ho afa-po amin'izany ireo mpandàla fiovàna sy ny mpandàla ny fisarahana am-panambadiana.
49I doubt if that will satisfy the progressives and the divorce advocates.Ny sarikely dia nampiasaina avy any amin'ny pejy Filckr an'i jekert gwapo eo ambany fiarovana CC License Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0)
