Filipinos: No to Divorce
Filipinos may already know the positive effects of a good marriage that’s why when it comes to divorce, a big NO is answered.In a survey conducted by Social Weather Station (SWS), half of the 1,200 respondents nationwide are against divorce while 36 percent agreed to legalize it.
The SWS survey also found out that 50 percent of the respondents disapproved cohabitation. Those who are in favor stated that it is good for a couple to live together first in order to better know their partners. Meanwhile the Roman Catholic church - the major religion in the Philippines - strictly prohibits it as they claim that marriage is sacred and should be preserved.
