Episode description

Even with the adoption of the Family Code of the Philippines in 1987, the process to end a marriage in the Philippines has gained notoriety (and rightfully so) as being costly, protracted and tedious.  Unhappy Filipino couples are hoping this will not always be the case; and it is widely believed that the Supreme Court pronouncement in the 2021 case of Tan-Andal v. Andal is a step in the right direction. 
 
Tune in this 20 minute episode as we demystify this new take on Psychological Incapacity and expound on its implications on Annulment cases in the Philippines.
 
Join Atty. Raffy Cedro, a prime mover and a Partner at Gorriceta Africa Cauton and Saavedra, as he discusses the institution of marriage in the Philippines and the impact of the 2021 pronouncement of the Supreme Court in Tan-Andal v. Andal. Atty. Raffy will also discuss the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children Act (VAWC) and how it works to protect women and their children in the Philippines.
