The claim
Divorce has been legalized in the Philippines after a bill allowing it was passed by the House of Representatives.
PeakMetrics research summary
Based on related reporting. This does not summarize the original publisher’s reasoning.
Related reporting says the House of Representatives passed House Bill 9349, but the Senate did not pass Senate Bill 147. It also explains that a bill must be approved by both houses to become law, so the House vote alone did not legalize divorce.[S2]
