Carla Abellana shares why she is in favor of divorce bill

Clipboard

Kapuso actress Carla Abellana is one of the Filipino celebrities who has expressed their support for the passage of the Divorce Bill in the country. In an interview with broadcaster Nelson Canlas earlier this week, she shared how divorce will be beneficial to people who need to get out of toxic relationships.

Carla previously tied the knot with Kapuso actor Tom Rodriguez before deciding to part ways in 2022–– less than a year into their marriage.

“I see the bigger picture, and of course, sa panahon ngayon, iba na eh. Sa nakikita ko, ang daming magbe-benefit because aminin natin marriage isn't easy. It can get toxic,” she said.

Despite her devout faith as a Catholic, the actress expressed her concern for those stuck in abusive relationships. She is hopeful that the bill will be signed and finalized soon as there are many other Filipinos who are also in favor of having the option of divorce.

“Sana mapirmahan na 'yan, ma-finalize na. Because unfortunately nga there are marriages na nagse-stay nga sila for the sake of the children, they stay married dahil wala silang ibang option, pero hindi na healthy for the family, not just for the marriage,” she shared.

“So ang dami and you know, I'm sure dapat pakinggan nila 'yung mga citizens, mga Filipinos,” she added.

Despite not having divorce legalized just yet in the country, Carla is legally separated from Tom as the latter, who is an American citizen, filed for divorce in his home country.

Earlier this year, Carla sat down in an exclusive interview with PUSH as she recently moved into her new house which she considers a miracle.

“Miracle for me na nabuo ko rin ‘yung house given the circumstances and the unpredictable events in my life recently. Miracle sa’kin ‘yun kasi kinaya ko pa rin. I still have the will, I was still very much capable, and it’s done. Kumbaga, ito na, na-reach ko na ‘yung dream ko na ‘yun,” she previously shared.

Apart from Carla, Kapamilya actress Maxene Magalona voiced her support for the passage of the Divorce Bill on her social media account last May.
