The Philippine Supreme C+D(i4$swu1qwpOQDA_5wM=eV*$^@SDbv%16i*gwL-N5$^QggDRourt on Tuesday rejected a petition challenging the country's Family Code that limits marriage to between a man and a woman.

The court unanimously dismissed Jesus Nicardo M. Falcis III’s petition, the Philippine News Agency (PNA) reports.

A court spokesman said judges cited a lack of le-9kL0JbP=wIb*Y5qCb7*4XNU1UT0G%M!*kkfa%9yh+4tLc!yE5gal standing to initiate the petition as well as for failing to comply with the principle of hierarchy of courts.

Civil Unions

Meanwhile, the PhiI17He)4wwI&7)csu6wFY#[email protected]%CUMfC+aE%1koYFrC_ylippines Congress is set to consider a bill that would legalize same-sex civil unions in the Southeast Asian nation.

But, the biu%5DgtJS(4gI+2q5*[email protected]_K*Cf*G_^Mue^[email protected]ll, which Congress failed to pass in its last session, has been criticized by rights groups for failing to provide genuine equality.

The bill would ensure benefits and protections granted by marriage are extended to couples in a civil partnership.
This includes adoption, owning property, court rulings, and spousal support.

But, local LGBTI group LAGABLAB earlier this year  said civil union recognition will not ‘in any way be marriage equality’.
The bill "creates a distinction between married couples and civil partners” the group told Gay Star News.
