Umaasa si Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez ipapasa ng mga senador ang panukala hinggil sa diborsiyo o dissolution of marriage upang bigyang-ginhawa ang maraming mag-asawa na bilanggo ng wasak na pagsasama.
“I know for a fact that a lot of people were trapped in failed marriages—they have been wallowing in misery for quite some time. The government has to address that,” ani Alvarez.
Kontra ang mga senador sa dissolution of marriage bill.
Sa selebrasyon ng Eid’l Fitr sa Davao noong Sabado, ipinagtanggol ni Pangulong Duterte si Alvarez sa mga paratang na ang paghahain niya ng dissolution bill “was self-serving, saying that as a member of the Manobo tribe, Alvarez can legally take as many wives as he can.”
