ALBAY 1st District Rep. Edcel Lagman said the 1987 Constitution does not bar the enactment of a divorce bill.

'Nowhere in the present 1987 Constitution and the previous 1935 and 1972 Constitution, and even in the Malolos Constitution, is there a provision which prohibits the Congress from enacting an absolute divorce law,' said Lagman, principal author of House Bill 9349, which hurdled the third and final reading at the House of Representatives on May 22.
