Hi fellow forumers, as we all know there is an ongoing debate on RH bill. Please express your opinions here but refrain from using inappropriate words and as much as possible keep the discussion healthy.

Let me start, I am Pro-RH and I am Catholic.

What's funny is that those who are anti-RH seem to misunderstand something.

What's the difference of the RH-bill to our currently existing family planning program?

me too i really dont care about RH bill na yan.. dependi naman yan talaga sa inyo how you manage your family. di naman kailangan i pass yan at bakit kahit may RH bill na sa pilipinas do you think giginhawa ang buhay natin? dapat talaga i pasa ang mga graft and corruption kasi ganon pa rin ang buhay nang mga pilipino kahit may RH nothing will change sa ganyan bill.. i am sure!

Marami ata ang hindi pa talaga alam ang kabuuang sakop ng RH bill.. Ang misunderstanding ng iba, ang RH bill ay focused lang sa pamumudmod ng contraceptives.. Pero hindi, mas marami pang saklaw ang kabuuang bill..

Summary of major provisions

The bill mandates the government to “promote, without bias, all effective natural and modern methods of family planning that are medically safe and legal.”[3]

Although abortion is recognized as illegal and punishable by law, the bill states that “the government shall ensure that all women needing care for post-abortion complications shall be treated and counseled in a humane, non-judgmental and compassionate manner.”[3]

The bill calls for a “multi-dimensional approach” integrates a component of family planning and responsible parenthood into all government anti-poverty programs.[3]

Under the bill, age-appropriate reproductive health and sexuality education is required from grade five to fourth year high school using “life-skills and other approaches.”[3]

The bill also mandates the Department of Labor and Employment to guarantee the reproductive health rights of its female employees. Companies with less than 200 workers are required to enter into partnership with health care providers in their area for the delivery of reproductive health services.[3]

Employers are obliged to monitor pregnant working employees among their workforce and ensure they are provided paid half-day prenatal medical leaves for each month of the pregnancy period that they are employed.[3]

The national government and local governments will ensure the availability of reproductive health care services, including family planning and prenatal care.[3]

Any person or public official who prohibits or restricts the delivery of legal and medically safe reproductive health care services will be meted penalty by imprisonment or a fine.[3]

Pro RH here! I think that's one way for the Philippines to be developed/matured.

Pro! It's funny how anti-RH bill people become irrational when they argue their cause. Roilo Golez said many lawmakers will not be present today if the RH bill was passed before they were born. That's stupid. Others are suggesting that those against the bill should stop paying taxes. WTF?! Pacquiao is against it because God commanded us to "go out and multiply". Hehehe. They can't really make an intelligent argument against the bill that's why they're resorting to irrational behavior. One sensible thing that they argue is that it may promote abortion which I do not really agree with. Abortion is still against the law. Let's pass this bill and let's move on. Church should concentrate on what to do to stop their members from switching to bro. Ely's group.

Corruption is the main reason of POVERTY in the philippines... as a matter of fact having more babies gani is a blessings from God and that depends on the parent how they raise their kids.. ofcourse giving the right values and pointing out ...that education is important for every individuals.. Quality Education could Conquer POVERTY!.. With Quality Education we can get a better job.. SO dapat ang i focus sang government is EDUCATION! not RH bill or watever...

para sa akin hindi ako masyado apektado ng rh bill.
siguro para ito sa mga anak ng anak na wala naman maipakain at sa mga kabataan napapabayaan ng mga magulang.

Isa pala ako sa mga walang paki-alam. Hehehe

Ang concern ko lang ay kung maipasa yan, wag naman sanang maging milking-cow ng mga corrupt government officials gaya ng nangyari sa "fertilizer fund" scam.

Wala naman dapat kasing issue as far as Christian's perspective is concern since optional lang naman ito. Hindi naman nito isu-suppress ang religious freedom ng isang Kristiyano; at kahit siguro ng ibang relihiyon.

Religious leaders should focus on educating their people; not meddling on government's affairs.

Ang sabi nga, ibigay nyo kay Cesar ang kay Cesar at sa Diyos ang sa Diyos. Hindi sinabing pigilin mo si Cesar para maibigay mo kung ano ang para sa Diyos.

Kung sa tingin nila na bawal ang condom, pills, IUD, etc., e di pangaralan nila yung mga tupa nila na wag gagamit. May magiging problema ba? Wala na dapat di ba?

Ang nakakalungkot lang, they seem to be trying to put the blame to the government policies their failure to control their people.

Wag naman sana nilang ipasa sa iba yung kakulangan nila. Ang dapat nilang inaatupag ay kung paano nila pasusunurin ang tao nila at pabutihin ang tao nila.

Kahit laganap ang kasamaan, kung sapat ang pangaral nyo sa anak nyo, kakaba-kaba ka bang (tongue twister

) mag-sha-shabu ang anak mo? Kahit umuwi yan ng gabi, kampante kang walang kalokohang ginagawa yan.

Ang nakakalungkot pa, pati yung utos kay Eba at Adan e inaangkin na nila. Para lang yan yung mga nagsiskuha ng ikapu na hindi naman mula sa lahi ng mga Levita. Isinasaksak nila sa sarili nila yung utos na hindi naman para sa kanila. Ang isa pang malungkot nito, pinuputol naman nila yung statement. Ang sabi dun sa utos, "At sila'y binasbasan ng Dios, at sa kanila'y sinabi ng Dios, Kayo'y magpalaanakin, at magpakarami, at kalatan ninyo ang lupa, at inyong supilin; at magkaroon kayo ng kapangyarihan sa mga isda sa dagat, at sa mga ibon sa himpapawid, at sa bawa't hayop na gumagalaw sa ibabaw ng lupa"

Kaakibat sa utos ang kalatan ng tao ang lupa at magkaroon ng kapangyarihan sa mga hayop. Yan ba, utos para sa atin?

Sana lang matapos na yang debate na yan sa kongreso. Maraming problema sa Pilipinas na dapat mas pagtuunan ng pansin.

Sabi ni Sens. Miriam, Pia Cayetano ang RH Bill ay P3Billion ang budget yearly.. ang pinaka aim nito is to reduce poverty, etc... Analysis ko: Ang present population natin ay 96 Million kung bigyan natin lahat ng Filipino ng P1Million each ...aabot lang ang budget ng P96Million/yr... so lahat masaya walang mahirap...mas liliit pa ito kung per family lang bigyan instead of per individual...so solve ang kahirapan sa bansa, bawat pamilya mag-open lang ng passbook or atm para dun ihulog kada buwan yung pera...parang pension xia.

What ya tink...ok ba solucion ko.
