President Rodrigo Duterte said that he is not in favor of the divorce law or the dissolution of marriage bill proposed by House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez which has already found favor from the House of Representatives. The president's main reason is that the children will be the one to suffer the most should the parents decided to get a divorce or get separated. Another reason is that his daughter, Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte is also against the divorce law and not happy with it.

“I am sorry but I cannot follow your… My daughter is not happy with that. Really. Mag-usap na lang kayo ni Sara,” Duterte teased.
Malacañang earlier confirmed that Duterte is against a divorce law in the Philippines, citing its adverse effects on children.
Spouses who would be neglected after the divorce would also lose their right to file cases against their spouses.
