No to Divorce but Allowing Remarriage to legally Separated couple

I applaud the decision of Prez Noy, a deeply religious person which is a legacy from his parents, on not allowing divorce in the Philippines. However, allowing legally separated couple to remarry, isn’t that tantamount to divorce? Some members of society are pushing for divorce purposely for remarriage.

Please be enlightened by these passages from the Bible:

Matthew 19:6, 9

6 Let no man separate what God has joined together.
9 Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Please reconsider your decision on allowing remarriage by a legally separated couple.
