  1. As it should be... thanks, SC!
    A lot of women suffer psychological and emotional pain bigtime because of their husbands' infidelity. Yung iba halos masiraan ng bait lalo pag nagkaanak sa iba! Pati mga anak damay din sa chaotic situation.

    1. A lot of men also suffer psychological and emotional pain because of their wives’ infidelity. Tapos minsan yung babae gagamitin ang anak para sa sustento na hindi naman lahat napupunta sa bata. Just saying. From personal experience.

    2. parehas yan mapababae or mapalalaki. Nasa tao din yan kung mapapatawad ninyo yung nagawang pagtataksil or hindi na. Case to case basis.

    3. True 1:36 at 3:55 men experience that too.

    3. Marital infedility, it explains itself. Need pa ba further explanation?

    4. kasi po yung Act ay para po sa mga Women and Children.

    5. 11:23, 1:00 ~ Obvious na hindi niyo alam yung batas. It’s for both. Ang alam ko nga mas matindi ang parusa sa babae.

      The news/caption was like that because they were refering to a certain case na ang nanloko is yung lalaki.

      Delete
    6. The Anti-violence Against WOMEN and CHILDREN law applies to women and children only. Dapat amendahan yung batas to include all gender.

    7. ang tingin ko dyan na cite lang ang VAWC dahil sa example ng kaso. But if this is a law, covered ang babae at lalaki. Mas maganda kung pwede yan grounds for annulment.

      Delete
  5. I applaud the supreme court! Sino ba namang spouse ang hindi magkaroon ng mental anguish kung gawin yan sa inyo ng husband or wife ninyo? Naku yun mga nangangaliwa dyan mas lalo gagalingan ang pagtatago with the kabit.

    2. correct kasi dati hindi tinatanggap ang marital infidelity as grounds for annulment. Pero dapat tanggapin na dahil ito ang katotohanan. Nangaliwa kaya ayaw na ng partner

    1. Ano na namang Biblical conspiracy theory yan

      Delete
    2. Biblical Prophecy yan Hindi Conspiracy Theory. Yan ang hirap pag Walang Alam at Hindi nagbabasa ng Bible. Basahin niyo yung Revelation Chapter 6 para hindi puro conspiracy theory lang ang laman ng utak niyo.

      Delete
    3. 8:39 Not all FP readers are Catholic so trash your "hindi nagbabasa ng Bible" counter argument. Yan ang hirap sa mga taong walang awareness or sensitivities with other religions.

      Delete
    4. 9:50
      Hindi lahat ng nagbabasa ng bible eh Catholic, so thrash your “not all FP readers are Catholic” argument. Yan ang hirap sa mga taong hindi marunong magkontexto at magbasa nga maayos.

      Delete
    5. 6:38 Galing mag proof read. Puede ka na sana maging editor pero mali pa rin sa "thrash". Yan ang hirap sa hindi marunong magbasa ng maayos. Thrash is different from trash/bin/throw.

  7. Ang dami rin babaeng nangangaliwa

    Replies
    1. Applicable naman yung ruling sa parehong babae at lalaking nangaliwa

      Delete
    2. Comprehension naman. They “upheld” a certain decision na coincidentally lalaki ang nangaliwa. If the case is reverse ano sasabihin niyo? Bakit babae lang? Hindi naman sinabi ng GMA na pang lalaki lang yung batas. KNOW THE LAW.

      Delete
    3. pag sinabing batas, applicable yan sa lahat ng gender hindi para sa lalaki lang.

      Delete
    4. Correct me if I'm wrong but the SC decision pertains to RA 9262 or Violence against women and children, so it only applies to women and children.

      Delete
    5. 10:38 this is a different scenario po. When filing for annulment hindi kasi pwedeng cause ang marital infidelity noon pero ngayon pwede na. Buti naman because this is a FACT of LIFE.

      Delete
    6. 10:38 yes yan nga ang kaso kaya lalaki ang nangaliwa although kung batas yan, dapat pwede na yang grounds for annulment ang pangangaliwa.

      Delete
    7. hoy 2:56 law the law ka ja . basahin mo ang law na yan. only applies to women

  8. How about women leaving their husbands for another man??

    1. pantay yan.Kasali din sa batas.

    2. 3:53 magbasa ka ngang mabuti. vawc ang kaso. Violence against women and children lang nagaaply ang psychological violence. Walang proteksyon para sa mga lalake. Unfair na naman

      Delete
    3. 10:46 nagkataon lang na yan ang kaso,citing the VAWC . But if this is a law then it should be used as grounds for annulment. Sa batas kasi ngayon hindi pwedeng grounds ang infidelity pag makikipag annul sa korte.

      Delete
  9. So puwede na ba ito maging ground for annulment under sa " psychological incapacity"?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. dapat lang. Kasi yun din ang totoo. Wag na magimbento ng iba pang rason. Isali dapat ang infidelity as grounds.

      Delete
    2. pabor ako dyan na isali sa grounds. Right now hindi po kasi kasali ang marital infidelity as grounds for annulment. Matatalo ang kaso. Ngunit nangyayari naman talaga yan sa mag asawa.

  10. Nung iniwan kami ng tatay ko for another woman, madami ang nag bubuyo sa nanay ko na mag sampa ng kaso. Nakikisama na at nagka baby na din si tatay sa mistress nya that time. Hindi nagsampa ng kaso si nanay kasi ayaw nya makulong o magka record si tatay. OFW si tatay kaya baka hindi na makaalis pag nag ka permanent record. Anyway ang point ni nanay ay ama pa rin namin si tatay at ngayon may anak syang bago, pano nya masusuportahan ang mga anak nya pag nakulong sya. At kung isasama yung mistress sa kaso, kawawa naman yung inosenteng baby na may congenital heart disorders pa. Sabi nya at peace naman sya at tanggap na nya at kung maging vengeful sya baka lang mag sisi pa sya lalo na pag may mangyari sa baby. Mas lalo nga gumanda si nanay naging single ulit dahil nawala stress pero hindi na sya nakipag relasyon ulit. Kami naman din napatawad na din namin si tatay. Life is too short. Pero kung talagang gusto mo magkaso then ikaw lang din ang makakapag desisyon nyan.

    3. yun ang kengkoy sa Pilipinas, maraming single mom or dad na hindi nasusustentuhan ng mga ex. Kawawa ang mga bata. Sana magkaroon ng ngipin ang batas tulad sa US na automatic ang child support.

  15. kaya nga nagiging seloso or selosa ang asawa na niloloko dahil ang infidelity nakaka cause ng psychological trauma sa biktima. Nawawalan sila ng self worth. Kinekwestyon nila ang kanilang itsura, or kung bakit sila pinag palit.

    2. even if there is no third party, any type of separation causes psychological anxiety to the person. Kahit hindi ka ipagpalit. Mag jowa nga lang na naghihiwalay nakaka bother sa tao.

      Delete
    3. 5:06 the premise is marital infidelity sa article na ito but I also agree na may iba pang causes ang paghihiwalay ng mag asawa.

    1. sa annulment , you need to hire the expertise of a psychologist at i cross examine din siya sa korte.

  18. Ridiculous. A marriage that doesn’t work anymore is not a psychological violence. It happens 50% of the time according to divorce statistics. Both parties should have the option to separate with no hassle.

    1. darling you cannot just say that in court. When you file for divorce or annulment, you need to write down the cause,then support with evidence etc. Otherwise, the court will not accept the petition.

    1. An expert witness who is a duly recognized psychiatrist was called to the witness stand. The wife in that case was having an ongoing consultation with the psychiatrist. Besides the wife, being a witness herself also released her testimony to the court and she was consistent with her statements din.

      Delete
    2. sa annulment case, lalo na grounds for psychological incapacity, kailangan mo mag hire ng psychiatrist or psychologist. Yun ang magbibigay ng psychological analysis kung tama ba ang grounds for annulment. Pupunta din ang Psychiatrist mo sa korte. Kaya mahal ang annulment.

      Delete
    3. hindi ka po iaannul lalo na sa grounds ng psychological incapacity kung walang psychologist or psychiatrist na kukuha ng panig mo. Hindi ang lawyers lang ang kailangan mo kaya mahal po ang bayad.

    4. All good points 10:47, 3:44, 3:46.

      Magtataka pa ba kayo FP readers na mga alta sociedad, politicians or anak ng politicians lang ang nakaka afford ng annulment dito sa Pinas.

  21. That’s very backward and third world mentality. It assumes that women are always the victim and are helpless.

  23. Dapat ganon din para sa mga lalaking iniwan ng asawa. May mga sitwasyon din na ang mga lalaki ang iniiwan ng mga babae. Very rare, pero may mga makakati ding babae gaya ng sister-in-law ko.

  24. And for me it goes beyond pa nga dyan eh just watch the Chris Watts case on netflix it can happen to anyone. Manipulation ng mga kabit could lead to something fatal and tragic like that.

  25. Sobrang damage talaga naidudulot nyan sa babae man o lalaking naging victim. Tapos papakatatag ka nalang dahil bukas will be another day to endure na naman. Magpapakatatag ka para sa anak mo. Pero deep inside you're badly wounded and badly bleeding. Tapos the other party masaya, dahil nasunod ang gusto nila. Kahit may nagdudusang taong wala naman ginagawang masama sakanila. Dapat lang naman na naisa batas yan. Pagkatao ang sinisira nyan at pati mga anak apektado, kaya may mga batang nananahimik sa school or iba ang behaviour dahil dama din nila ang pinagdadaanan ng family nila. Yan ang isa sa tamang nangyari dito sa pilipinas ngayong 2020.

  26. Nice. I guess ny biological father is guilty of concubinage and psychological violence. If only my mom would press charges but unfortunately she still cares for that bum.

    ReplyDelete
  27. i agree dito, cheating is catastrophic not just emotionally but huge part of it affects the mental well being of the victim.and more at fault is the spouse or the partner who commited the infidelity, ang kabit is just an accessory to the crime kahit usually sila ang pinagiinitan pero ang dapat managot talaga sa yo is yung asawa mong makati.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hindi patas to. Lalake lang ang mapaparusahan dahil VAWC ang kasong to. Babae at bata lang ang pinoproteksyunan ng vawc. Walang katumbas na proteksyon sa psychological at emotional violence against men.

  35. That’s a backward law that serves nobody. Why not have a divorce law instead. Would a woman or a man be happy when they already know that their spouse no longer love them and that the marriage no longer works. You are just forcing yourself to stay in a very unhappy situation for life. In the end, it’s a wasted life for both.
