In the Philippines, marriage is a sacred union between two people and it is a lifetime commitment.
As a Christian country with deep moral values on close family ties, they believe in the sanctity of marriage and once married, nothing can separate a couple from each other.
It is a sad fact that though marriage should be made between two persons who are in love with each other and they should stay together "for better or for worst, in sickness and in health till death do them part", many marriages has come to a point of separation.
In many countries, divorce is a legal thing and anyone can remarry after a divorce was agreed between a couple. In the Philippines, there are proposals to legalize divorce, but nothing has succeeded so far. There are currently existing laws about legal separation and annulment of marriage.
In legal separation, the couple is still married but living separately while both doing their duties as parents to their children.
Annulment is a different thing. It is a legal process to declare that the marriage is null and void using legal grounds set by law. Once it is proven, it declares that the marriage is non-existent and invalid from the start and both parties can remarry.
