Curtis’s comment on X (formerly Twitter) drew significant attention and reactions from her followers.
Curtis humorously pointed out the gender of the senators opposing the bill, stating, “Puro lalaki ‘yung nag no,” along with a laughing face emoji.
Her comment referred to a preliminary survey conducted by Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada.
The survey revealed a split among the senators, with five against and five in favor of the Divorce Bill. Opponents included Sen. Estrada, Senate President Francis Escudero, Sen. Joel Villanueva, Sen. Francis Tolentino, and Sen. Ronald ‘Bato’ dela Rosa. Those supporting the bill were Sen. Robin Padilla, Sen. Imee Marcos, Sen. Grace Poe, Sen. Pia Cayetano, and Sen. Risa Hontiveros.
In a recent update, Sen. Juan Miguel Zubiri and Sen. Cynthia Villar also declared their opposition to the bill.
The Divorce Bill, if passed, would allow couples to legally end their marriages. This is a controversial topic in the Philippines, where marriage is still highly valued and divorce is not legal. Supporters of the bill argue that it would help protect the rights of those who have suffered domestic violence or who cannot continue living in an unhappy marriage.
In a recent interview, Anne Curtis shared her personal views on the bill. She emphasized that divorce is not only a solution to personal problems but also reflects a change in society. She said: “We need to recognize that not all marriages are meant to last. Allowing divorce is a way to help people find true happiness.”
Her comments quickly gained traction, with many in favor and some against. Some people find her opinion positive and modern, while others find it against traditional family values.
After her speech, Anne received a lot of feedback from the online community. Discussions on social platforms were lively, with many conflicting opinions on this topic. Some people expressed their agreement with her, saying that legalizing divorce would bring many benefits to society. On the contrary, some people said that this could lead to a decline in the value of marriage.
Anne Curtis’s comments on the Divorce Bill have created a strong wave of reactions in the community. Despite the conflicting opinions, these discussions show that Philippine society is gradually opening up to new views on marriage and divorce. Surely, with the participation of famous figures like Anne, social issues will continue to be raised and discussed more deeply.
