Cayetano explained that people have different stories on why they want to move on from an unhappy and failed marriage. And because some OFW women do not have the option to file a divorce, Cayetano said that they feel they are ‘legally and morally’ bound to their men.

Several bills filed in the Senate have revived debates on whether or not it's time for the Philippines to pass a divorce law.
