Philippine divorce activists vow to fight on
In her bid to convince lawmakers to legalize divorce, Filipina fruit vendor Avelina Anuran has publicly testified about the abuse she said she regularly endured at the hands of her husband. But the mother of two-turned-activist has got no closer to ending her marriage. The Philippines is one of just two countries — along with Vatican City — where divorce remains illegal.

01:02It can be very
01:04frustrating because
01:06we see how difficult it
01:08is for our clients to get
01:10an annulment, even if
01:12it is so evident, so
01:14the evidence is there.
01:16It takes so long.

01:32They make comments
01:34and they don't read the bill
01:36and then they say
01:38the bill will like this, like this, like this.
01:40No, that's not true.
01:42That's not true.
01:44Read the bill and you will see how
01:46how
01:48the sanctity of marriage
01:50is being safeguarded.
01:52The welfare of the children
01:54is provided for
01:56and the issue of support
01:58and custody is preserved.

02:08It's not a question
02:10about liberality
02:12or rights, I think.
02:14Right?
02:16The Catholic Church is against divorce
02:18because it is against our teaching.
02:20And we see that
02:22it's not going to be good for the family.
02:24We see that it is anti-family,
02:26anti-children,
02:28and anti-marriage.

02:38Honestly, no one has the ambition
02:40that I want to be a broken family.
02:42I want to lose my father
02:44and my children.
02:46But no one thinks like that.
02:48No one thinks like that
02:50as a good person.
02:52They only value
02:54their beliefs.
02:56But they should know
02:58that this is really happening.
