Filipinos across all religions oppose same-sex marriage

The writing is evidently on the wall. The Filipino people are not open or ready for the legalization of same-sex marriage. If Congress presses the proposed bill that it is now hearing, it will find scant support throughout the country.

A solid majority of 61 percent of Filipinos, stretching across all areas of the country and all religions, has expressed strong opposition to the legalization of same-sex union. This was borne out by a survey conducted by the Social Weather Stations (SWS).
