Filipino divorce activists, including Avelina Anuran, push to legalize divorce amid growing public support.

Filipino divorce activists, including Avelina Anuran, are pushing for legalizing divorce in the Philippines, one of two countries where it's still illegal. Despite facing opposition, recent surveys show over half of Filipinos support the change. The proposed bill aimed to provide free legal and psychological help, cap lawyers' fees, and ensure quick resolution of cases. Though the latest attempt failed, activists plan to refile the bill in July, hoping for growing public support.
