AND THE BULL CONTINUES!

Posted by Ferg on 12/14/2012
Posted in: RH Bill.

The news report at 1800 hours on Thursday indicates that the BULL continues. The Anti-RH Forces in the persons of Rep Rufus Rodriquez and Bishop Pabillo (he of Typhoon Pablo is GOD’s sign that he is against the RH Bill)  are complaining and deploring the fact that senior members of the Executive Branch were in attendance at the Second Reading Vote of the RH Bill.

What’s that all about? You can pack the galleries with Priests and Nuns who have no choice but to OBEY and no one else of any consequence can attend. GET REAL!

THAT’S PURE UNADULTERATED BULL POO!

That’s right, the Pro-RH Bill supporters carried the day on Wednesday night (12/12/12) passing House Bill 4244 with a razor thin majority of only 9 votes.

If it wasn’t so sad, it would be quite funny!

Here are two photos which sum up what Pro-RH bill proponents are up against. As indicated above, if it wasn’t so sad it would actually be quite funny! It’s so sad because they really believe this “bull”…and they expect us all to believe it too!

Don’t fall for this!

December 12, 2012 will be RH Bill Day in Philippines!

Posted by Ferg on 12/11/2012
Posted in: RH Bill.

Finally! December 12, 2012 (12/12/12) after almost 15 years the RH Bill will be put to the vote in the Philippines’ House of Representatives. It’s a day that will go down in history, it could be the equivalent of the EMANCIPATION OF WOMAN elsewhere in the world for Filipinas.

Filipinas will finally be able to be fully informed and be in complete control of their bodies and their reproductive health!

But, and there’s always a ‘but’, we’ve learned that an assortment of Bishops and Anti-RH supporters will try to pack the public galleries in Congress not doubt to try to intimidate the Pro-RH supporters.

In my opinion, the priests should just stay away and let the legislators do their thing unencumbered by the potential subtle threats caused by the mere presence of the priests.

Let’s hope that the Members of Congress do the right thing for the women of the Philippines.

HALLELUJAH!

OH BOY! Oh my God, it finally happened, knocked out! The entire country, I think, is in mourning!  But then again, all the great champs come to the end sometime… Manny, for me is the lighter version of Muhammad, I think he ‘was’ that great. And, I think now may be his time to leave!

Congressman Manny is one of my heroes nonetheless.

I awoke today, to read an opinion piece in today’s Philippine Daily Inquirer by: Rina Jimenez-David in which she comments on the statements attributed to Manila Auxillary Bishop Broderick Pabillo who said:

“…reacting to the horrific news reports about hundreds dead in the wake of the “visit” of Typhoon “Pablo” to our shores, the good bishop commented: “Ewan ko lang kung yan ay coincidence lang o dahil nga may pinapasabi ang Diyos sa atin na kapag iyan ay pinag-uusapan nang matindi ay parang may mensahe na nangyayari na maraming kahirapan na nagaganap sa atin (I don’t know if it’s just a coincidence or if the Lord is trying to send a message to us that whenever that is being discussed heatedly, it seems that there’s a disaster that causes much suffering among us).”
