MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – A young Filipino lawyer — named Jesus — has asked the Philippine Supreme Court (SC) to lift same-sex marriage prohibitions in the country’s almost 3-decade-old Family Code.
Jesus Nicardo Falcis, who identified himself as openly gay in his May 18 petition, argued that limiting civil marriages and the rights that go with such unions to heterosexuals violate the constitutionally guaranteed protection for equal treatment, undue interference to liberty rights, and marital autonomy.
Ireland — a Catholic country like the Philippines — just became the first in the world to legalize gay marriage by popular vote. Will the Philippines be next? Unlikely.
Here are the top ten reasons gay marriage will never be legal in the Philippines:
- It’s in the books, but in actuality, there is no such thing as ‘Separation of Church and State’
- Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines ( CBCP)
- Senator Tito Sotto
- Congressman Manny Pacquiao

If I were a gay living in the Philippines, I would change my religion – or simply become religionLESS – that allows me with their loving kindness to marry whoever I wish to love and be with them loving them unconditionlly. If all the Philippine people who belong to either one of the LGTB group would turn their back to the Philippine catholic church, then the church herself would reDO her beliefs on what LOVE is all about. Love is NOT about the sexual orientation of a person, but about the REAL love one feels and shares IT with.

I was expecting a more insightful, profound and meaningful discussion of the issue, not this kind of smart alecky write up. There should be an 11th reason why this social concern will never be intelligently discussed, and this kind of write up is the 11th reason … I already wasted my time reading this article so might as well lubos lubos in ko na. Next time please dont waste your readers time ha?
