House to pass divorce bill in March – Alvarez

The House of Representatives will pass a measure that allows the dissolution of marriage before congress takes a break in March, House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez said on Wednesday.

“Ang commitment ko diyan, magbi-break kami nitong March, ano, so kailangang maipasa iyan on third reading bago kami mag-break (My commitment there is we will take a break in March so we have to pass it on third reading before we take a break),” he said in a news briefing.
