Filipinos should be congratulated for being the only race in the world that has maintained an unceasing respect for the sanctity of marriage and the preservation of the family as a basic institution of society, a lawmaker said Tuesday.
Bagong Henerasyon Representative Bernadette Herrera-Dy said that with Malta’s decision to legalize divorce, the Philippines thus earned the distinction of becoming the only country, other than Vatican City, that upholds the inviolability of marriage.
Vatican City is a city-state that has a population of 800 comprised mostly of celibate members of the Catholic clergy.
“Being citizens of a nation that protects the sanctity of marriage and protects the unity of the family is an honor that we all should all be proud of,” said Herrera-Dy as she vowed to oppose House Bill 1799 which proposes the legalization of divorce.
