The role of fathers in saving civilization Part 1
September 9, 2025
The whole world recently got a very bad example of marital fidelity from an American CEO who was caught on camera having an affair with his Vice President for Human Resources during a Coldplay concert. The video went viral and many people found it funny, but I think it was a tragic sign of why American civilization is under threat. It is not an exaggeration when a U.S. professor titles a book about strong families, “Get Married, Forge Strong Families and Save Civilization.”
The Philippine Constitution is very clear about marriage being an “inviolable institution,” which makes it difficult for pro-divorce advocates to defend their cause in our society. In many societies today, especially the more economically developed ones, divorce is only one cause of the destruction of the family as the strong foundation of society. Single parenthood, where the father is usually the one who is absent, is another reason for the breakdown of the American family.
