When I heard this, I was caught giggling. I consider this as just another hilarious bill in town. Until all people around me are talking about it. And ingon sila balaod daw, naa sa congress.
But I want to clarify now nga dili ni BILL, wala pa ni sa congress. Misantop lang tingali ni sa hunahuna sa 1-ABAA (1-Akong Babaeng Astig Aasenso) party list group. Kini nga group, bag-o lang gi-accredit sa COMELEC, so apparently, wala pa silay representative sa congress.
We can talk about this, either support 1-ABAA or not. But moralist dont need to panic. I read an opinion about this from Business Mirror and I would like to share this:
Until now, marriage has, at least in theory, operated under the “no exchange, no refund” policy. You buy it, you have to live with it. Of course, after you buy it, you can always sort of put it in the bottom of the closet if you don’t like it and are not going to use it. But for the most part, you cannot return your spouse. 1-ABAA is proposing that marriage, like retail sales, come under the Consumer Act of the Philippines which abolished “no exchange, no refund.” The principle is that you can use your wives or husbands for 10 years and then exchange them if you want to, in case they do not meet your expectations. The retail law says that consumers are entitled to either an exchange or refund, as long as there is a defect in the quality of the goods or imperfection in the service.
The proposal come form women group. I wonder if there is same proposal from men group.
