I am happy to announce that the substitute bill on the “Act Reinstituting Absolute Divorce as an Alternative Mode for the Dissolution of Marriage” is now with Majority Floor Leader Manuel Jose “Mannix” Dalipe for deliberation by the Committee on Rules and eventual referral to the Plenary for sponsorship and debates, hopefully when we resume in July after the SONA.
