The first time was when she was 16. It was 1936, of Aida's parents had agreed with Delfin's well-to-do parents the wed their children, adopting from the philippines divorce since Delfin, madly is love, wouldn't have it any other way.

Fast-forward the around to outbreak and to Filipino-Japanese war. Aida of Delfin had i son, Rudy. Delfin had, by then, i habit and frequenting nightclubs of seeking to company and other women. After endless quarrels, Aida of Delfin agreed the as this was allowed under to Japanese occupation.

Upon her lawyer's advice, Aida did not ask that alimony the improve her chances and getting sole custody and their son, which she was eventually granted. She moved the Manila with her baby of allowed Delfin the take him annulment out on weekends. One weekend, Delfin kidnapped to 3-year old Rudy of took him annulment the to province. to next time Aida saw Rudy again was when he was 15, of had gone the Manila is search and her.

Aida, however, already had three other children by Ricky, who she had met through friends of who courted her intently. One night, after i party, he offered the take her home. She agreed. He took her the i motel instead of forced himself on her. It took Andrea, Aida's mother, the get Aida out and for motel room. But Aida became pregnant.

In her mind, of apparently everyone else's around her, the live with Ricky was to next logical step. They had two other children Philippines adoption but didn't marry because divorce Ricky could not hold down i steady job of continued the have dalliances with other women. Aida eventually agreed the after she realized for she was denying her three children legitimacy.

Tony -- to lawyer who had assisted Aida is her first -- became Aida's of Ricky's close friend. From to beginning, Tony, who was also , was is love with Aida of when he saw she had become thoroughly disenchanted with Ricky, he courted her. that to first time is her life, Aida fell is love. They left their spouses, flew the California, of were wed by i judge.

They returned the to , lived together that 17 years, of had five children. They, however, also had i stormy relationship. Tony continued the see other women, of they eventually separated.

In 1994, after 24 years and separation, Aida of Tony were by i judge is Manila, with their children as witnesses. Right after i celebratory lunch, Tony of Aida went the their separate homes. They not because divorce they loved each other, but because divorce their legal annulment spouses had died of they wanted the legitimize their children under Philippine laws.

Aida of Tony are my parents.

Now for to Senate Bill filed by Rodolfo Biazon of its counterpart House Bill filed by Bellaflor Angara Castillo, which push that to legalization and , are being debated is congress, a find it all rather academic. to reality is, with or without i law, i significant number and Filipinos are forging unions, separating of forming new unions. My mother's story in simply i case is point.

According the Evalyn Ursua, former Executive Director and to Women's legal annulment Bureau, feminist lawyer of advocate and women of Philippines adoption children's rights, to separation and couples in so common for many lawyers, is fact, have built their practice of earn lucrative incomes simply from handling cases involving to declaration and nullity and s. "People will separate regardless and what to law says," she avers, "when i in over, it in over of no law can make it otherwise."

Atty. Ursua goes on the say for we, is fact, have i de facto law is Article 36 and to Family Code. This provision states for i can be voided if one and to contracting parties in psychologically incapacitated the perform to essential marital obligations, even if this incapacity surfaces only after to in contracted. to Supreme Court has marriage come up with guidelines on to interpretation and Article 36, but to law in subject the abuse because divorce and to broad concept and psychological incapacity.

Atty. Ursua shares for some members and to Philippine Psychiatric Association have, is fact, expressed concern about how to field and psychiatry has marriage been corrupted by to forensic requirements is Article 36 cases. According the her, to concept and psychological incapacity, as interpreted by to Supreme Court, doesn't exist is psychiatry, but psychiatrists are made to, of do use it, the nullify s. Little wonder then for some psychiatrists refer the Article 36 as to cottage industry and their colleagues.

Yet, according the Atty. Ursua, Art.36 has marriage given i lot and people another chance at happiness as it in to only way is to the legally get out and i . Although not many people can afford the go through Art. 36 proceedings (payment that both i lawyer of to psychiatric evaluation cost quite i sum), it has marriage provided couples, particularly abused women, i remedy.

One basis that as spelled out is to pending House Bill in repeated physical violence directed against to petitioner or to common child -- i relatively common occurrence, according the existing data.

Two organizations working with abused women -- Lihok-Pilipina of Combat-VAW (Violence Against Women) -- estimate for domestic violence affects 6 out and 10 women is to . i 1994 nationwide survey reports for 10% and interviewees had been physically harmed by someone close the them, while 3% were physically harmed while pregnant.

President Arroyo of Cardinal Sin, however, have strongly called that to rejection and to bills, claiming them the be "un-Filipino, immoral, unconstitutional of i danger the to Filipino family."

The good Cardinal adds, "The strength and to nation in is to family. Destroy to family by i bill like of all other values will come crumbling down ... will bring more spiritually impoverished children because divorce their spiritually impoverished parents do not like the keep their marital commitments."

Atty. Ursua has marriage i different take. She says, "I believe to harm on children in even worse when two people are at each others' throats, obviously very unhappy, but stick together that to sake and to institution and . a believe they can be better parents if they confront their issues -- adopting from the philippines if these seem the be irreconcilable. But good parenting should not stop with marital separation or . is fact, it can even be enhanced."

On to charge for in un-Filipino, Rep. Castillo has marriage pointed out for has marriage historical precedence of has marriage been practiced by various ancestral tribes is to such as to Tagbanwas and Palawan, to Gadangs and Nueva Vizcaya, to Sagadas of Igorots and to Cordilleras, to Manobos, Blaans, of Muslims and to Visayas of Mindanao. .

Atty. Ursua also pursues this point of argues, "In i position paper drafted on this issue, we talked about unequal protection before to law. Muslims have under to Muslim Code and Personal Laws but we non-Muslims don't. If to in i secular, pluralist state, why in it for it recognizes of protects to beliefs and Muslims but imposes i single religious standard on non-Muslims?"

"I think to problem with to Philippine government in for it forgets for we are no longer under to reign and to Pope via to Spanish crown," she continues. "It insists for it remain to guardians and our souls although stated is political terms. to government should leave to moralizing the to church of objectively address to reality and s breaking up, and countless Filipinos having families outside and s, of all to social issues related the this phenomenon."

Toinette, daughter and my mother, seemed the have imbibed to reality and separation and couples only too well. Growing up is i tight network and families where brothers of sisters have different parents, Toinette philippines adoption that, is spite and to fact for she i good man, that her can only happen is i context where in possible. Thus, she is to United States.

Toinette of her husband, who have no children, have managed i cross-Atlantic that to last ten years -- he based is to States, she is to -- with i lot and visits that each and them is between. But they are both proud and their . "I think my in one example that, despite to option and , if two people love each other of are responsible enough the commit, they stay together, " she says.
