National Apellate Marriage Tribunal of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (NAMT-CBCP) head Archbishop Oscar Cruz has advised television host and actress Kris Aquino not to get married again, especially in church.
 
Former Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Cruz said Aquino should forget marrying in church altogether due to her personality.
 
“It will be hard for Kris, in her personality context, to enter into a valid church marriage.  The way I see her, seeing her from her past relationships, [she] will find it hard to be a partner, to be a real partner of another, which is the essence of marriage,” the archbishop said over Church-run Radio Veritas 846.
 
“The main reason is that she is more for herself than for someone else like a spouse. Meaning to say, she is not someone who [thinks of] herself as a partner to somebody else so that the two of them become one. Marriage is partnership,” added Cruz.
 
If the actress wants to marry again, he said, it would be best if she avails of civil marriage.
 
“I would not advise her to get married in church. If she wants to marry again, it should be civil so that the annulment process is fast,” Cruz said.
 
The prelate, however, stressed that he is not pronouncing moral judgment on Aquino.
 
“I’m not pronouncing judgment on whether she is good or bad, or whether she is a sinner or a saint. No, I’m not doing that. I’m just talking about her, based on my experience in the marriage tribunal,” said Cruz.
 
Last Sunday, Aquino revealed on her showbiz talkshow that the legalization of her separation with husband James Yap is already being worked out.
