Divorce was legal in the Philippines up until 1949
when they became independent of US rule. Since then, the predominantly Catholic (80% of the population) country has outlawed divorce. However, lawmakers are

he is for same-sex marriage but not divorce. His spokesperson, Harry Roque
explains that Duerte would be concerned for the children of divorce and that it
would be “pitiful”.

together where a divorce would finalize it. Although, divorce is illegal in the
Philippines, couples still have the option of getting an annulment, though it
is a timely and costly process.
