Why Divorce Is Illegal In The Philippines | ASIAN BOSS 

The Church will give an annulment to couples in the extreme cases that they are talking about. Marriage is considered a merging of the souls into one so as to procreate with God to produce children. If a couple can show that they never actually became one then the marriage contract can be nullified. In other words, treated as it never happened. This can get very complicated if their are children involved. I used to believe the Church was wrong about their stance on divorce but the last 30 years has showed the world what happens when divorce becomes too easy. The older I get the more I see and understand the wisdom of the Church.

wow Jack, thanks for your insight. What exactly have you seen in the last 30 years that makes you reconsider divorce laws? thanks

Jack Mann how is a couple supposed to show that they never "became one"?

ChiChi Appio-- I have seen it destroy the family and the influence it used to have on our offspring. There is other factors of course like welfare that made it more profitable to be a single mother rather than being married. When children grow up without a loving mother and father, that actually love their children enough to say no to them and discipline them when necessary, they grow up with no respect for authority and many stay locked in that childish mind set for the rest of their lives. I am 76 years old now but by the time I was 12 years old, I knew how to drive a car, ride a horse, shoot a gun and respect authority and it was all because my Mom and Dad love me enough to make it happen . The same went for my brother and sister. Of course I thought they were just being mean at the time but by the time I got out of college I was ready to deal with the world. When they say that families that pray together stay together, it is very true. It is also true that if you live your life according to the teaching of the Church you will be much more likely to have a happy and productive life. The Bible is not a rule book that God gave us to make us live a miserable life. It is a book of wisdom that is trying to tell us how to be truly happy and avoid the pitfalls that so many people make. I was lucky enough to find a wife that already knew this the first time because it took me a while to understand it. God bless!

Constantin Klose-- The Catholic Church has a marriage tribunal made up of 3 priests that interview people and many of their family and acquaintances.They make the final decision as to whether or not you can get an annulment. It could take up to 3 years. If you are not Catholic this may not make sense to you but the Bible says that what God has joined together let no man put asunder. This takes the pressure off the person getting a divorce because the Church is taking responsibly for the divorce and call it an annulment. If they determine that the two of you were never really compatible and never had a meeting of the minds or souls. They take the part about " till death do us part" pretty serious as it should be.

mochi's butt - actually the correct translation for that is "courting" not "flirting" 😊 though somehow it has the same context but still the word "flirt" is too vulgar haha

Rainier Ramiro *too

So much. Hahaha

mochi's butt Lmao I love your name

mochi's butt He actually said "I'm *not used to* courting/flirting" meaning he did that before but not often

And they all want to separate after wedding.😂

Bobby Sierra lol

True! they want the ceremony and the vows but not fulfilling the promises! 😂

You just want a wedding lil mama lol 😆

Most Filipinos speak mix different languages especially those working in Manila where people from all regions live.

Hahahhahah

Inaccurate subtitles.

Probably Asian Boss was confused with the Taglish they can't ascertain whether English or Tagalog is being spoken.😅🤣😂

Ohh you should hear the Chavacano language. Its a Philippine language with lots of Spanish a few tidbits of Tagalog and Portuguese

Because In Philippines, Once you Speak A Full Filipino Word Sentence, you will look like a Poet Master😂

It's the Pinoy's unique way of speaking. 👍👌

@@mayurishiina6904 😂😂😎

It's mostly the youth who do that

Janice Pimentel I agree.

I know right lol

I'm also thinking about it to, cause flirt is way too different from courtship

I've noticed that too

Exactly. Courtship is more formal and serious and the guy said he doesnt know how to start a courtship

Dovilė Tavus love your profile pic! But we speak like that because we were taught English as well as Tagalog or Bisaya and it’s just the culture to speak that way, it’s hard to explain but as a Filipino it’s just always been a part of the way we speak that makes us unique.

Yeah in Malaysia too. We go by which language feels most comfortable at the moment. Some thoughts are best expressed in one language or another. It's also how we're used to talking.

Some words which are easier to say in English is said in English, some Tagalog words are just long, repetitive and outdated and sounds old to use, so we code-switch

Dovilė Ta I dunno how to express it but it is like ur brain found the word u are looking for but it is in a different language from ur initial sentence but u just go with it bcuz u know the person u are talking to can understand it... I do that automatically without thinking when i am with my friends who can speak the same amount of language as i am.... like from korean to english to chinese and sometimes to malay as well... It is mostly bcuz some words are better being said in a certain language.

Dovilė Ta, both languages are native to both the speaker and the listener, nothing disrespectful. Some expressions are just more natural or accurate or more commonly said in one of the languages than the other. If they were talking to a foreigner who speaks only one of them, I'm pretty sure they would say everything in that one language.

JungKooKing & PenQueen Minari Yeah XD

THE TRUTH HAS BEEN SPOKEN!!?

trueee

Yeah, true… But it kind of makes it difficult to advocate for the standardization and intellectualization of the local languages, right? Like I think it's good we can speak English, but it's not really a two-way system. I think it's kind of showing in the country's scientific and technological literacy… Or-I don't know, I'm just buzzing off or something…

So true...when in FACT my Filipino teacher is using TAGLISH as a medium of instruction.

having tried all hack tools on RU-vid,I must say @john.son1935 on Instagram is the only working one

Hahaha on behalf of my countrymen I would like to say I'm sorry

Filipino and English are our official languages

erico1098 I thought there was something wrong with the audio. Like the original tagalog voice of the people was not completely dubbed by the english translater 😂

Because it somehow makes sense. One note tho, some Spanish words get overridden by English ones. (at least that's how I can see it)

Indeed. very impressive!

We Filipinos are exposed to both Filipino (usually Tagalog) and English in our entire lives, so it just makes sense that we code-switch A LOT, especially the younger generation.

Exactly, I'm a filipino and I'm currently learning japanese.

Abs0lute_ K-pop actually they love k-pop now to the point where they were going to remove filipino and replacing it with korean language although I’m not sure

Abs0lute_ and yet one of the people in the philippines loves it

美絵流ーちゃん [Mieru-Chan] I'm a Filipino and I love anime and Japanese culture so much. So I decided to learn Japanese language through self study. I was able to take a good grasp of it and is eventually able to understand words without subtitles. I just keep on listening to Japanese music and watch anime or movie then jot down words and sentences and try to translate it. Then I use Japanese dictionary app and books as well. It really helped me a lot even tho my accent is not like a native speaker yet. I also do monologues and speak Japanese to my Filipino friends even tho only 1 out of a hundred understands me😊

KAWAII!!!!!

Hi Faith, can i be your tour guide? 😊

My account was also hacked but thanks to the hacker on Instagram @john.son1935

I love speaking two languages at once like that. That's what makes it fun when I am learning a new language.

We use both English or Tagalog (or other mother tongue like Bisaya, Ilocano, Bicolano, depending on the region) when conversing with other people. Also, it's part of the educational system here to use English as well.

Hello nice

Not just language, religion, too! The Romans colonised Britain for nearly 400 years and left behind tons of their language that we all use today.

Every country on Earth has been colonised at some point. It's part of human history!

English is filled with Spanish French German Italian Latin and 100's of native american words just like Tagalog. Both languages absorb other languages. It has nothing to do with colonization. What makes English so prevalent in the world is because it has so many subtle meanings of so many ideas and thoughts just like Tagalog. Both languages have words that can't be described in other languages. They are dynamic and alive.

Of course it is normal for us we live here duh, just common sense tbh

@@Forlfir Don't worry because it's starting to change. The government ordered for schools start teaching children in their "Mother tongue" or dialect in most subjects in order to preserve the Filipino language.

@@Forlfir We have tagalog reading materials and a filipino subject in our schools, but for the other subjects, we mainly use english like for math and science (especially because they have a lot of difficult terms) But in class discussions, we speak tagalog and in the process, english words/phrases/terms get mixed in the lecture. English is being used a lot to the point that it gets mixed up in our day-to-day tagalog conversations and it just became more comfortable for us to use, thus taglish uwu But when we do code switching, it's not that we totally forgot the translation of the word in tagalog (well, most of the time), it's just that we got used to using the english term more than the tagalog one so it became more comfortable to use them. owo

If anything... it would decrease rates of cheating. He’s dumb if he doesn’t think cheating is happening because divorce is illegal.

Exactly - it’s sad because as a filipino i feel like you’re not allowed to complain about filipino society even when it’s toxic and harmful and you’re just stating the truth, but everyone wants to ignore it and put smiles on and not rock the boat. That means though that if you keep the status quo people will continue to suffer and nothing will change for the better - it feels a lot like society is still in the colonial era and there’s a pining for it

@@lizasplaylist Divorce is not needed here, you can file an adultery case for men and concubinage for women who cheats, how about abusive husbands? They will be charged with the VAWC law or anti violence against women and their children law, minor to serious physical injury, serious illegal detention and the list goes on. We also have annulment you can also file for legal separation.

Johannes Gansowen You're right.

Its like the icing on the cupcacke.. Sometimes i prefer the icing than the cupcake itself..

Because some are interested how Filipinos switch from one language to another and how they hear different languages mixed in like Spanish, Hindi and mostly English.

*sad* lol

Pak! True. I think verb conjugation is what makes Filipino language hard to learn. Other than that, it’s simple.

Very very true. I wish they had people speak up from dysfunctional Filipino families - especially those who have been abused - as this law impacts them the most.

@@lizasplaylist I totally agree. I hope someday they separate the government and the church when it comes to laws like this.

Also, growing up in a dysfunctional, abusive, problematic and toxic family setting greatly affects a child's growth and mental health.

Law of God? Baket, bumaba ba ang diyos sa langit para magsulat jan sa bibliya na yan? Saan deductive reasoning niyo? Logic? Critical thinking? I mean we’re asking baket di tayo ummunlad. Are we really this ignorant? Or are we just dumb?

@Jil Y Acknowledge God from where? If the Bible said kainin mo tae mo, kakainin mo rin ba kasi "law of God" iyon? You think a bunch of people that had no form of government back then, that had to think of a way to control the masses, had to write something to reign them all in, is law of God? I was always taught that the people that wrote the Bible was "inspired by God" to write it. Well, in that case, if JK Rowling would claim that she is inspired by God to write Harry Potter, then should we start treating it as gospel as well?

We do it unconsciously. Well, I do it unconsciously.

Actually its because some of the terms/words are much easier in English than in Filipino. I think it is due to Filipino terms are probably forgotten or rarely used.

Banyo is actually baño. I am so sad you have to mix so many things together. I only know Spanish and English to a certainly degree. Never had the chance to learn French though studied for a while, or Japanese, Korean or Chinese but for very few words.

same

Ms Dva the Catholic Church already has a process in place for lawful separation in cases like this. Its called annulment.

I have no idea what actually goes on within the actual country, and therefor only goes by the actual residents there from this interview, and from my understanding it costs a lot of money, and what happens to those people who are suffering from that and can't fork up the money? That is giving a message that too bad, you are not rich enough to have a good life and be deserving of happiness.

Wtf? Those people who are for banning divorce accept that some people will live in abusive relationship. This is cruel unfair and disgusting. You cant be at both sides you either agree for people to have right to choose if they want to get divorce or youre against it. Thats it.

"Don't marry people who wont keep their vows." You never know how a person turns out to be after 5, 10, 15 years of marriage. They might turn into a cheater or abuser or perhaps you drift apart. People change, people make mistakes. That's why marriage without the option of getting divorce is too rigid of a concept in reality.

i wish i could replace the word sacred with spiritual

Harry Cake yes hahaha also here in the south, u can hear 4 languages mix in a sentence hahaha

Yuri The Knaifu I just replied in your way. Also, I sent some sources go check that out. You don't hear it, cause it's single words that we've adapted over 800 years that the Chinese have been in the country. We made it our own. The Chinese language has influenced loads of Asian languages. And since we are Austronesian, our language is related to Bahasa Malayu and Bahasa Indonesia. Plus when the Arabs came and brought Islam to our country, we also adapted a few of those words.

Prin Ren TS I agree, especially back then. There were a lot more of malay words used in tagalog, especially in kapampangan, ilokano and bisaya till now.

Very true. Our dependency on the church stems back all the way to the Spanish Colonization era where religion is used to actually manipulate people. Which sadly, is still effective up to this date. What I want for us to learn is to question things. The simple reason of "Because we're Catholic" is not enough, it's an excuse. Most of the Filipinos don't even understand the religion itself and the history behind it. Sad🤐

@Francisco Gamus Just want to make it clear that in my reply I did not state my agreement or disagreement with divorce. All I'm saying is that the "religious" ideology is what actually prevents most Filipinos to be critical in this situation. Honestly, I don't think divorce will work here. It will just be taken advantage of (in that I actually strongly agree with you). We can agree that even without divorce, and adultery actually illegal, it didn't stop Filipinos to cheat, separate, or annul. And it is true that the people who want to pass it wants a piece of it. Marriage will become more convenient if there will be divorce here because there is an "easy way out". Ironically, I also am thinking that maybe by creating more grounds and making it less expensive, annulment is still a better option than divorce. And please don't just assume my side because clearly my reply didn't state my opinion on the matter at hand directly.

I think filipinos should balance the law and religion.

Nahh, hinaharangan lang ng mga mismong lawyers yang Divorce bill dahil mawawalan nga naman sila ng kita kung maipapasa yan. Sa annulment kasi kumikita sila(dahil nga sa tagal ng proseso). Business kasi ang annulment para sa kanila.

Thank you for sharing your story and opinion. Cause your story is the finest proof that children need to be raised in love, not in hatred or cheating. Everyone makes mistakes, and marriage could also be a mistake. And divorce is a way to show children, future adults, the healthy relationship when people do not turn each other lifes into a nightmare, but respect each others freedom and will.

I'm sorry for what happened to your family. I do hope you have become a different person, far from the picture of your father that you presented here. Children do really need to be raised in love. So before one enters marriage, one must be prepared that it could all go wrong, because it's a lifetime commitment and that should have been a deterrent for all of us. Your mother need not stay in such a bad relationship, she can always leave her husband. But she did take the vow with full consent...

This is the reason why Catholics in ph did not approve divorce, because of money , ang perang nagagastos sa annoulment ay napupunta sa simbahan

The filipines are an asian country that was colonized by the spanish and then remained in the USA sphere of influence for a long time so I believe this had an influence in their language

They are switching language mid-sentence which very common in the Philippines. Most Filipinos speaks 2 to 3 languages. Specially those people who lives outside the capital have to speak 3 or more languages/dialects.

I have the same thought, I'm really impressed with this video

People still make a big deal of marriages if we just look at any country that isn't the Vatican and the Phillippines.

They already do treat it that way. People get separated anyway. They just stay married on paper but they are not together anymore.

+Yutaa Mendoza Marriage is not divine sacrosanct. It's merely a social contract for two individuals to engage in a usually monogamous romantic and sexual relationship, usually with the goal of raising progeny. If you feel that your partner has violated the social contract, you absolutely should have the right to break it off. Simple.

Secretly cheating or not is still cheating.. The number of secret cheaters will go down but the number of cheaters still the same..

Yutaa Mendoza it is just simple.. If you are just going to cheat don't get married. Or don't marry a cheater.. No marriage No Divorce and use contraceptives so there will be no kids involved..

Hediyeh B The Philippines was under the Spanish rule for 400 years, thus the influence in its language. PH's national language is called "Filipino" (same word to mean its citizens) but there are 100+ dialects in the country. Zamboanga City found in the southern part of the archipelago is known for the dialect "Chavacano" which largely resembles Spanish language.

Because these days, if you love someone you can marry them anytime just because “you lOve them” it’s not all about love duh.

And people should be educated that being inlove is not the reason to get married. Getting married needs growth, maturity and the ability to workout the relationship.

The thing is they want wedding ,not marriage

No, for men it's really not a big deal, but for women it is. Men and women have different rules and standards.

It means the church still have some control over society, like they oppose the reproductive health bill which teaches family palnning, sex-ed. Church banning the use of contraceptives, its evil, you can only use natural method like calendar method. For them its only god can separate you if you get married.

@@f.b.i7121 and do you think all marriage is perfect?

the hypocrisy of some of the older ones being interviewed is quite perplexing.

divorce should be legal, but like abortion, it should be a last resort tool, rather than just used willy nilly; it should also simply be prevented from being used as a last resort in the first place (aka taking the steps to avoid ending up having to divorce/get an abortion). in both cases, there should be a valid reason for divorce/abortion, not ‘because i feel like it’. the ways to prevent either are being more scrupulous in choosing your spouse (divorce), and using birth control and safe sex practices (abortion).

That's not a good argument. You could make the same argument in support of legalizing pedophilia. If you're against pedophilia, then don't practice it. -- One thing that has become obscured in the modern age is the fact that life necessarily and beneficially involves struggle and unpleasantness. You don't learn much in school if you don't put aside your desire to go out and play for a while. You don't succeed in business without putting in a lot of hours of hard work. Lots of life's lessons are learned the hard way. Subjective desires are not reliable indicators of the path to long-term happiness. Divorce should perhaps be allowed, in order to allow the worst cases to dissolve, but made fairly difficult, in order to motivate people in temporary difficulty to work things out. Virtually no one ever finds a perfect partner, and no one will learn how to work the difficulties out without tolerating some hard times. -- The longer explanation of these things involves the scientific attitude. Science objectifies and mathematizes the things it studies, and science gives us a lot of power to manipulate things in our material environment. When science is applied to people, though, what we're objectifying, mathematizing, and manipulating are other people. This may seem OK when you're the one applying the science, but less so when you are the person who is being objectified, turned into a number, and manipulated, like livestock. Yet the social sciences are very influential in modern thinking, with very little awareness of how the social sciences degrade human dignity. -- One irony of our scientific times is the way we ignore the Darwinian survival of human customs. Traditions change slowly, but a look at the 5,000 years of human civilization shows huge changes and a wide variety of customs and traditions. The traditions that survive and the traditions that are found to be held in common among the majority of human cultures have withstood a lot of tests of trial and error and challenges from alternative ways of doing things. But despite this evolutionary history of customs and traditions, we like to think that we can figure everything out ourselves. The result is, among other things, a set of social sciences that has little constancy, and is subject to intellectual fads and fashions, some of them dangerous.

In the UK devorce has been so normalised that people get divorced because they're bored and dissatisfied. Destroying their children's wellbeing!

@@grizzlygrizzle It's a good argument if you add the word "harm". Everybody should have the right to lead their individual lives as they see fit, without external interference, as long as they don't harm others (or other's prospects to lead happy prosperous lives). In the case of "practicing pedophilia" children are harmed. Divorce doesn't harm anybody - in fact, forcing people to be together against their will creates a nightmarish cycle of endless lying and psychological abuse. Arguments against divorce aren't based on any evidence or nuanced understanding of human history and psychology. Religious principles are themselves a matter of personal preference and should be strictly limited to people's inner lives and spiritual guidance. Wouldn't it be better if religious people actually read holy texts and aspired to be faithful to them in their individual lives instead of shifting responsibility to external force (their government)?

@@KalinaRotten -- I didn't mention religion, though religion can, aside from its specifically religious aspects, serve as a vehicle for conveying the trial-and-error findings of a culture from one century to another. You should be aware that there are many social scientists who argue that often there's no harm done in pedophilia. What I was arguing against was the form of the original argument, which is a more sophisticated version of, "If you don't like X, then don't do X." This argument has been used again and again in the U.S. to justify abortion, and more recently, in the state of New York, abortion right up to the last moments of delivery, which is essentially infanticide. (Feminists cheered when this law was passed.) -- One of the problems with the "If you don't like X, then don't do X" approach is that it seems to assume that human beings magically turn into morally mature adults at age 18, and that there are no common character disorders that persist into adulthood, and no moral guidance is required in adulthood. Programs for the reform of alcoholics, addicts, and prisoners would seem to contradict this, as well as even more common programs for broader behavioral guidance in churches, self-help movements, and psychotherapy. The extreme libertarian assumptions in "If you don't like X, then don't do X" don't really fit the moral landscape of humanity. -- And it is ironic that with regard to abortion, such a libertarian argument is offered by people on the far left who in other areas are notorious control freaks with regard to other behaviors like so-called "hate speech," gun ownership, medical insurance, taxation and wealth accumulation, business regulations, and so on. -- At the other end of the spectrum from libertarianism is totalitarianism, and though libertarians take too much for granted about humans' natural inclinations toward good behavior, totalitarians seem to ignore the importance of liberty in the development of a moral compass. You don't learn to do the right thing when no one is looking, if you never have any circumstances when no one is looking or no one is regulating your behavior. -- There are some behaviors like murder, robbery, rape, and kidnapping that need to be outlawed, but there are lots of others for which discouragement is required, but for which harsh penalties would be disproportionate. Human life has lots of weak moments and moments of duress that tempt people to take easy ways out that later prove harmful to themselves or others. A lot of people do a lot of stupid things. But any "expert" is also subject to doing stupid things, even if he does them at a higher level. Totalitarian "utopias" like Nazism and communism are high-level stupid things, and have ended up killing millions and millions of people. There's no perfect system, given human imperfections. The best we can do is to punish the worst behaviors while discouraging the merely stupid.

Grease monkey thats the fault of the lawmakers for not making the law strict.

Jiro Conwi It aint that easy to translate bro.

but it is still mostly correct.

Jiro Conwi better than nothing at all

The subtitles are straight to the point of what the interviews are trying to say. I'd probably be like them where I will likely gonna go through several hoops for what I wanna say before reaching the point of what I'm saying. :D

Just trying to go straight to the point instead of word per word. It's hard to read a very long line when they are conversing fast

Raccet Kun Hahahaha

hahaahhh

Raccet Kun Trust me that's normal 😭😭😭

@@joshualozada8132 lol

It wasnt even that fast

True

Haha (since you're using English, I might as well..) That would be hard because it just flows out of you and mixes with Filipino naturally. To do that you have to be aware of the words in your mind before letting it out of your mouth. And sometimes I forget the equivalent tagalog word of the English word.

That's pretty basic. I can definitely do it in my entire life. LOL . but avoiding the Spanish. *no one* can do that.

That's like asking Filipinos to go back to the 19th century without the presence of American colonial rule. lol!

I can do that. Hahaha

As a cebuano speaker and from Mindanao, it's hard for me to speak the 'pure' Cebuano language (no spanish influence, etc). I don't know with others but if I speak or write "proper/formal" Cebuano (the ones you hear on the radios, or public announcements - they use words w/c are not used in daily conversations), I tend to think in English and try my best on how to translate it. The challenge for me always is talking in Tagalog...I sometimes think in Cebuano then process it in English in my mind on what's the equivalent Tagalog term. Nosebleed haha

Totally agree except some politicians rely on Church to endorse them during election time. Then the Church has a hold on most of them.

it is already separated unlike in Muslim area like Saudi Arabia - state and religion as one _ but in the Philippines - the Gov't stands alone , the same with the Church - The Church only bat in when she sees that there is something wrong that is going on or rather she is exercising her own PROPHETIC role because the people in the gov't are the people in the Church. how can you survive as person if you don't nourish your spiritual life? If you nourish only your physical life then you don't love at all. God is Love. Love is being preached by the Church and we are the church people. God did not talk in a loud speaker for us to hear but rather through the Church.

it's such a bad idea to seperate religion with politics. Kailangan nilang magkaisa kasi magkakaroon tayo ng parang barrier na naghahati sa mga mamamayan. We should be united as a nation. Ang religion natin ang naguunite sa atin and ang politics ang syang namamahala at pumoprotekta sa atin.

Say it to CBCP, the anti administration Damasos.

@@randomperson4161 no religion does not define us. There are many Catholic nations in the world and they do not care about the politics of their respective countries at all. Examples of which are the European countries. Catholicism is long gone from their constitution, and look at them. They are much more successful without the meddling of the church.

Divorce should be allowed, but not boyfirend-girlfriend. One can get to know someone without such relations. If they go thorugh multiple gf/bf they will get used to sex with different people and not be faithful anymore. There are many studies done on this, you can look it up: 'promiscuity divorce rate'

@@zoybean Qasim Choudhery But having a boyfriend or girlfriend is literally how people first actually learn about relationships and from there, they first-hand learn about things like red flags in relationships and etc. Simply being friends won't give you all the basic knowledge of a very intimate relationship, since being friends or best friends have a closeness of less extent. Also, people who had exes don't always translate to them being sexually promiscuous. Some had exes but didn't copulate with them and instead had those relationships because of LOVE not LUST. So please don't mix them up.

@@z_.5557 1. No it isn't. You are taking only a Western view while remaining ignorant about the multitude of other types of methods to form relationships. How do we know which one is right? Statistics and objectivity show us. The Islamic way shows us that learning about a person through talks with their friends, family, etc and getting to know their worldview, values, and so on is the way how marriages are sustainable. Statistics prove to us that gf-bf most often fail. If your theory was correct, then virgin marriages would have greater rates of divorce than people with more relationships. All studies show the opposite: virgin marriages have the least likelihood of divorce and they have the longest marriages. They also have the highest rates of reported happiness. Correct, and this is why friendship for a future relationship does not work either. Your last point is describing a small minority, not the majority of the Western world. What you are describing is called 'courtship' and was common in Europe hundreds of years ago but has been abandoned for most part.

@@zoybean I am NOT taking a Western view. Hell, I'm not even from the West. And I'm not ignorant of the other ways. I literally mentioned that friends or best friends don't give ALL what you need to know about very intimate relationships. It also applies to family. Both are not entirely reliable when it comes to knowing about romantic relationships because 1. It all depends to the person's relationship with their family or the state of the family, and I doubt all households have a tight-knit relationship. 2. Friends and best friends keep certain relation distances unlike in gf or bf relationships, which are more intimate. They CAN give a CLUE of what it feels to have an actual romantic relationship if they have existing romantic relationships with someone. And I know about the courtship thing. What I'm saying is about the people who found intimate comfort and romantic with eachother but became EXES should be differentiated from FLINGS.

@@z_.5557 Yes, you are taking a Western view. It doesn't matter where you're from, the IDEA of bf-gf is a Western one. You have it backwards. What is initially required are values and morals that are compatible with the other partner. Other things like 'feelings', looks, personality etc. are secondary. And if you look at the past and how traditional societies had marriages done, you'll see that their marriages were happier, longer lasting, and much greater success rates. You're just ignoring the statistical evidence. How many people who have had bf/gf do you think break up from what they thought was a 'serious' relationship? The vast majority. How many virgin marriages end in divorce? The tiny minority. Your entire arguments rely on how you THINK relationships should work, but they just don't work like that. You see, people learn to love each other, and this bond is easily formed initially. The more relationships one gets into, the less effective this pair-bonding principle becomes. If you have any statistical evidence for any of your claims, please offer proof. 1. If someone is not tight-knit, they can have a friend or experienced person they know find someone. Many families are not together BECAUSE of these non-traditional societies, eg bf-gf that contributes to the decay of family structure. 2. No need for it. If everything checks out, people can simply get married. Clues, feelings, and other intangible emotions are not statistically significant in finding someone good- people learn to love each other and that is what makes things work. 3. Exes and flings often overlap. If someone was serious, they would have just gotten married. That they did not, is simply a form of hypocrisy.

Nag pakasal kase sila tyaka humarap sila sa simbahan kaya bkt pa kayo maghihiwalay edi sana di na kayo nag pakasal parang kasalanan nayan sa diyos kase humarap kayo eh tapos maghihiwalay lang kayo

bat ang landi mo? = why you flirting? is that correct?

flirting malandi agad?

Ay bobo

Pwede flirt lang? Masyadong intense naman yung landi 😂😂😂

Flirting is the act of landi, a Flirt is someone who is malandi.

fun fact: the average Filipino can speak about 2-4 dialects/languages in a single sentence :)

Wish you could visit Philippines, we are more welcome to teach you.

Brooke yeah... We Filipinos are actually multilingual. We love to learn from other countries' culture

I know 5 local dialects and english..

But at the bottom line, we are having difficulties because of having multiple dialects and sooner or later our native language might be erase to our native tounges.

Im pro-divorce and filipino and if you’re worried there’s many more studies over decades that other countries have had on marriages and divorce. Overall, divorce is seen as a more positive than negative experience for the entire family as it doesn’t keep the family from stagnating and keeping toxic systems in place, and it gives way for a more forgiving and understanding culture along with support for those who were in abusive situations.

YOU COLONIZED US! BUT IT'S COOL TO HAVE YOUR WORDS INCORPORATED IN OUR LANGUAGE.

jade gauran calm down lol

Anong pinaglalaban mo, atey? HAHAHAHAHA

I know man, just saying it would be interensing to communicate in spanish with an Asian country. But you have a total different language nowadays so it's imposible

Víctor We used to have Spanish lessons. Why we slowly drifted away from that now is because learning Mandarin is a huge asset for anyone wanting to deal with Chinese businessmen. More opportunity, they said

we Filipinos have different beliefs with you... marriage is sacred to us... most of us don't want to legalize divorce, for me annulment is enough.. by the way I'm a product of broken family but still I don't want to legalize divorce..

Because that's what's fed to them by the church, and people are not even 'curious' enough to think outside of their irrational thinking.

@@princessabpet9746 Annulment is enough? Mayaman ka siguro.

@@Yami278 I don't go to the church but im against to divorce

Legalising divorce leads people to have more freedom to become unfaithful and not further workout their marriage to make it work because divorce allows them to separate at will. I think thats what the man was trying to say....I think.

Yeah, because India is also an english speaking country.
