H. In your opinion, should divorce be legalized in the Philippines? Argue your answer persuasively.
With regard to my opinion, I strongly suggest that divorce be legalized in the Philippines for the following reasons.
Even though marriage is dignified as sacred in the state, the main foundation of marriage is found to be the decision
of two couples to stay together and advance their relationships. With that, my argument circles on the word decision.
Decision is made by two consenting adults with rational thinking to end the contract theyve made before the law
and go on separate ways. This decision is one of the elements in every behavior we have and such goes for divorce.
The state respects and entitles everyone to a choice and such a choice to have divorce should be an option for them.
However, we see it, divorce can be said to be a good and bad thing in many manners for the future of both parties
and those affected. But, as the state is concerned, freedom to choose is one of the highest respected right.
