how true is it?

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

What does being Catholic have to do with it? Just curious?

Because strict Catholicism does not allow divorce. That is why the Vatican and PI do not allow it. Catholic countries. No civil law on this, just religious law.

So how come so many beneficiaries seem to be unwed mothers?

Because abstinence only sex education, the type pushed by the Catholic church, doesn't work?

Telling people that birth control and condoms are sins and that sex is a sin doesn't stop their sex drives. It just means that when they do have sex, they don't have the supplies on hand to protect themselves. Look at the birth rates of red states in the US for more evidence of this.

Didn't realize PI was a Catholic country. Learn something new everyday. (Already knew that Catholicism didn't allow divorce.)

I think this is a rhetorical question, but I will just say...

It seems that creating such strict rules to dissolve a marriage has the opposite effect. People skirt the rules and never marry so they have more option open to them, but they have kids anyway, live as families, etc.

I don't get the pick and choose morality, that divorce is bad, but illegitimate children is just "one of those things you can't fix."

I believe that PI was a Spanish colony for some time, and many Spanish people lived there and they converted the natives. You will also see people with last names like Rodriguez. I think this makes PI more attractive to the international marriage business, because men don't have to deal with foreign religions, maybe eastern orthodox, or buddhism.

There are some muslims in PI too; I am not sure if they are allowed religious muslim divorce.

80 percent of Filipinos are Catholic. They do allow sharia divorce and multiple marriage for muslims.

Had the Spanish not arrived and decide to make the islands a colony, islam would most likely be the predominate religion, as its influence was spreading fast at the time of the Spanish arrival. And even though the Spanish claimed all the islands, they never controlled them all as at least one Muslim empire maintained control over part of the islands.

Is this a suspicion or do you have information that he is/is intending to marry? He is only permitted one wife at a time no matter where he married.

If he is in Philippines if he claims to be Muslim then he can have multiply wives if he can take care of them
