MANILA — Senate Deputy Minority Leader Risa Hontiveros is pressing the Senate for action on the proposed dissolution of marriage or divorce bill and sexual orientation, identity, expression and sexual characteristics bill.

"Just a brief manifestation to make of record na in fact finafollow up ko po sa good majority leader kung  kailan po maitatakda yung hearing ng Committee on Rules  para talakayin yung disposition ng ating chamber sa 2 committee reports yung isa po tungkol sa SOGIESC equality bill at yung isa naman po sa dissolution of marriage," Hontiveros said during the plenary session.

Hontiveros explained that the disssolution of marriage bill will actually strengthen the institution of marriage.

"The over all effect on our society seeks to strengthen the institution  of marriage dahil gusto ang lahat ng mga kasal natin sa ating lipunan ay actually in the image and likeness of what they were intended to be at di katulad ng ibang mga  kasal na are abusive  violent or neglectful  and absent yung pag ibig at pagkalinga na itinuturo ng lahat ng relihiyon at faith communities at pati iba't ibang klaseng humanism na meron tayo sa ating lipunan," Hontiveros said.
