DIESTA, LOUIS ABEGAIL V. The Prevailing Insights towards the Substitute Bill No. 7303: An Act Instituting Absolute Divorce and Dissolution of Marriage in Selected Barangays of Indang, Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. College of Arts and Science, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. June 2019. Adviser: Mr. Aldrin Baes. The Family Code of the Philippines currently provides three ways for couples to separate. First is legal separation which allows spouses to split up but not to remarry. Second is annulment which allows spouses to remarry because the marriage is considered invalid almost from the start as if it had never taken place. And declarations of nullity, which applies to marriages that are void or invalid from the very beginning. Substitute Bill 7303, otherwise known as the "Absolute Divorce Act of 2018 ", was approved on third reading on March 19, 2018 and was transmitted to the Senate. And in an SWS survey, it showed that 53 percent or majority of Filipinos support the enactment of a divorce law. The researcher chose to conduct this study to know the prevailing insights towards the absolute divorce and dissolution of marriage bill in selected barangays of Wang, Cavite. This research is focused and limited to the analysis and determining of the prevailing insights towards the Substitute Bill No. 7303: An Act Instituting Absolute Divorce and Dissolution of Marriage in selected barangays of Indang, Cavite. This ch is restricted to 36 married barangay councilors and 324 married couples who been together for 15 years and above from 18 barangays of Indang, Cavite. The researcher shall analyze the data gathered and the Divorce Bill to come up with a better option and recommendation. This study was conducted from July 2018 to April 2019. Descriptive and narrative methods were used in this study. Descriptive research generated data that are both qualitative and quantitative. The researcher also used descriptive analysis and statistics to collect and consolidate information pertaining to the prevailing insights towards the divorce bill in selected barangays of Indang, Cavite. The research revealed that the majority of its participants acknowledge that there are plenty of reasons why married couples decide to separate such as physical abuse, financial breakdown, infidelity, time problems, personality problem, addiction and communication problems. Majority of the participants strongly agreed that divorce will help those married couples in irreconcilable marriage. The lack of divorce law further complicates the ital and family problems of many Filipinos. It is deemed necessary for the country to a divorce law as it will help battered wives get out of their marriage with their Augers and the process of annulment, legal separation and declaration of nullity takes long and is too expensive. This perhaps suggests that Filipinos are progressive or in their thinking than the otherwise religious conservatism tend to ascribe to their .Survey suggests that Filipinos are in favor of an issue that appear antithetical to faith. The challenges of the divorce bill that was acknowledged by the participants were that religion a factor that hinders the approval of the divorce bill in becoming a law and divorce will have a negative impact on the married couples' children.
