Unless the Constitution is amended, the country is stuck with the rule that marriage is between a man and a woman alone, Solicitor General Jose Calida said Tuesday.
During oral arguments at the Supreme Court, Calida maintained that the petition on same-sex marriage filed by lawyer Jesus Nicardo Falcis III as as well as intervenor LGBTs (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) Church should be dismissed for lack of merit.
“I think we should lobby the framers [of the Constitution] now to include same-sex marriage,” Calida said. “But until that is done, we are stuck in the definition that marriage is a union between a man and woman.”
