64Don't Vote for RH Bill and We will endorse you
Fearing the passing of the RH BIll, the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy in the Philippines has warned running candidates that they will not give them communion if they will suport the RH bill. In the bright light however, the Church wil endorse those who will vote against the bill.
One of Catholic Churces in the Philippines
The Practice of Endorsing Candidates
Religious bloc voting is dominant in the Philippines, especially in the case of Church of Christ. This practice has lead to court trials in the past, if this is against the law or not - if this curtails the freedom of the religious followers or not.
Due to the separation of the state and the church, religious bloc voting is not in any way against the constitution. In the voting booth - it is still the person who will write the names of the candidates. The church can only teach members about the doctrine of unity.
Because many churches can't do this, they put the Church of Christ in the bad light for doing this practice. But with the passge of time, one by one, other religious leaders started endorsing candidates too, and now, here comes the Catholic CHurch here in the Philippines.
The RH BIll Question:
What is your stand about the RH Bill?

if the RH bil has some kind of evil in it. then Responsibility lessens it. plus prevention is not abortion.
if RH bill become a law, there will be a boost on motel profit...and i'm sure, instead of having a just and more humane youth, they will engage in early sexual intercourse because they are confident that early pregnancy is not an issue anymore due to the artificial birth controls that are to be given in free...
if this would be approve we'll be like U.S. you know there are appropriate social structures for every society and we must only take those that are beneficial... but this RH bill?
i am against the rh bill. contraceptive can cause cancers in liver,breast & in cervix.
rh bill is not the answer of our country's on going crisis about population. It's about the government reforms and good livelihood projects that would provide jobless citizens a good job that could help them earn money to feed their families. In this case the rh bill pursue the use of contraceptives between couples without knowing that this thing have the risk of having cancer and other serious disease. Why we need to come up with this rh bill?, if there's a safer way other than this.
what a joke... one of the comments posted by mj... "they will engage in early sexual intercourse because they are confident that early pregnancy is not an issue anymore due to the artificial birth controls that are to be given in free..." Hate to break the news to ya mj but girls are getting pregnant here at 13. the catholic church has kept filipino in denial for too long.....in the visayas its "bahala na". what ever the lord has planned. or as I like to put it, lets have sex and just see what happens and the deny its mine. in the mean time there is less rice for feed an overpopulating country and AIDS is running unchecked and rampant in your cities. grow up catholics and yes YOU mj. wake up
our church has been very dogmatic. it's like they are the only one who knows what is right and what is wrong. always remember that during Christ's time, it was the church people that put Him to the cross.
“RH Bill delay, 1000 die a day – RH bill Now na”
“Sabi nya kung mahal ko sya dapat patunayan ko, pero handa naba ako? – Katleen 16YO” Wag natin silang ibalewala, RH bill ipasa, Ngayon Na.
In our present condition where a family of five or seven, living in a shanty made of plastic garbage materials or anything that could cover them, squatting in the drainage alley, father without a permanent job and a mother who work as an extra vendor without any educational background, nursing a month old baby while pampering a two year old child on her lap, holding the other and hawking in an environment that competition for survival reign and her eldest daughter tempted by her boyfriend to test her love to him – under these whip of poverty hope and beauty cannot be express in this present face. In an honest examination, they are only victims of society’s materialistic demand under the wings of Corruptions, Selfishness of others, Government’s Mismanagement, Injustice, illiteracy and unequal distribution of resources – all might opine that they really need a messiah. Now, RH Bill finds these as legs to rally and rekindle the flickering light of hope of all oppress women. The long awaited Saga with a commanding voice coming from deities, whose powers cannot be hinder by anyone and anyone who oppose for this so called godly bill is no other than “anti-reason”.
But how does this Hero solve these problems? One solution is – Artificial Contraceptive pills! Antipathy over life is the crux of this bill! (Ok, some would say the bill talks also about health and reproductive care, yes but that is only a mask and it is useless to discuss it since we have existing laws that comprehensively tackle those issues.)
It is an anti-woman’s welfare contrary to those who believe it is. Contraceptive pills in any way cannot and will never help women in any angle as propose by this godly bill hidden in an angelic tone with diabolic spirit.
Since we focus only to the main sword use by this bill, one from many strong arguments laid by those who oppose this bill is the Contraceptive pills’ deadly effects like Cancer (check the latest clinical studies and other medical journal thru web). You don’t have to make an equation to find-out who will be the victim – of course not the male partner. Ridiculous to say this bill coined it as “Essential Medicine”. Maybe essential if you want to have a cancer so I will coin it as “death candies”.
These “death candies” not only causing cancer among women, but also reduce the role of a woman into a concept of “mere object”. As if returning to an era where woman whose right depends’ to man discretion. Mere object that can be own, can be purchase and after using it according to the product of fantasy - you can trash it. We are already far beyond this primitive notion, what we want is equality of rights in a most civilized society (women’s rights advocate). To treat them with respect, accept them as a whole and get what they deserve – a true women’s welfare.
Contradictory on what woman really deserve, the current world sees women as a big threat to progress, threat that needed to address needed to suppress (from Europe’s antiquities to WWII holocaust discrimination towards women are clearly manifested – “If the child is female, let her die” Spartan letter to his wife; Angel of Death (Josef Mengele) made an experiment on women (sterile) in a concentration camp that lead to holocaust). In a latest news, some Chinese physician are practicing gender selection wherein abort if it is a female fetus. We can see in history how the world discriminate female, go to pharmacy around the globe and you will find thousands upon thousands brand of contraceptive pills, sterile drugs etc. all design to suppress women nature to reproduce with a deadly effect compare to drugs design for counterpart gender (maybe they don’t bother about the effect since all they want is to address male dominant gender sexual drive). What about Condom? Yes created again to address male dominant gender sexual drive. One day we come to an age were contraceptive will go beyond its purpose (temporarily infertile) - go beyond the point without ethical ground like race selection, alter the fruits of the womb etc.
But it’s a choice of woman to take pills? Taking contraceptive pills is only a responsorial to dominant gender’s actuate, a female partner would not dare to take this pills without the pressure from male partner who’s always on demand for physical sensation - body at rest remain at rest. Some might argue that it is part of marital vow, yes I agree – a commitment of putting themselves totally to one another. Be aware of the word “Commitment” and “Totally”, to make it simple in Mang.Pedro’s Farm a hen and pig was chatting about how generous Mang.Pedro to them, so they decided to give him a good breakfast, the hen suggests “Bacon and Egg” but the pig reply, for you this is only a sensation but for me its a total commitment. So it’s unfair for a female partner to sacrifice her life under the pain of cancer while her male partner is more on sensation not to a total commitment.
So how can we bridge the gap on marital vow without sacrificing the proper spacing in the family? You are a woman regardless what social status you belong ("The right of the mother in the lowest social class is equal to the right of the mother in the highest social class. – Sen.Defensor) so in other words insist your Right to say NO. Abstinence (of a male partner) is a true respect to woman’s welfare – real respect to woman’s right. Marital vow ground on wanting a person not a body, wanting a respect on dignity not on sensation and no to discrimination and insisting gender dominancy.
Some may sing a song with the same lyrics that this bill will ensure the mother’s pregnancies would occur in healthy circumstances, does Abstinence has different result?
Lastly, some of poets argue that RH bill is outside the ordinary prose it is a poetry whose main purpose is a holistic approach in disseminating information so they can choose among it, whether she likes to exercise her right or not she has an options. It’s a big NO, it will only weaken woman’s innate rights to say “No” to her partner, and those options cited in the bill will support and legitimize man’s dominancy, as if the bill tried to inculcate that if a male partner violate your innate right you have other options (with deadly effects).
RH bill is only just a few lines from lyrics of anti-women agenda around the world. It is an angel of death under the cloth of a hero shouting on the top of the voice as “Pro-woman’s welfare”.
Craft a bill that empowers family as a building unit of society. That is what the constitution mandate. We don’t need RH bill.

Population is not the cause of poverty!!! Corruption and lack of support from the Government, Irresponsible Government official who abusive in the power and authority given to them.. Think of any solution for poverty don't blame the poverty on the population because if your going to look on our situation here in the Philippines the main cause of poverty is corruption.. How irresponsible! Sex education, Condoms and Pills for the Filipino? after nun wala ng kahirapan? Every life is a blessing from God! who are we to control the life of the unborn child? We don't own anything here on earth! God created everything here on earth, everything that your eyes can see even our own life was from HIM so who are we to control the things that does not belong to us? who gave you the right? Every life count! God does not create us to underestimate His Power! If you are too much worry for your future and for the future of your children and the unborn child your underestimating His power and Mercy! and you don't deserve to be bless. who created the poverty? Definitely its not Him but its the people we are the one responsible for ourselves. God provide us all the resources that we need to live if we are poor its your problem its because were not responsible enough to handle things. I am Pro life and i am against the RH Bill!! My stand is not just for the Catholic church but for the whole nation and for the future of the new generation and the upcoming generation. Anti RH Bill ako dahil akoy ay may Takot, Tiwala at Pananalig sa Panginoon na syang Lumikha ng lahat ng buhay sa mundo. Lahat ng Pro RH nilikha kayo ng Panginoon kung inisip nya na magiging pahirap lang kayo sa Pilipinas di sana wala kayo dito but because of Him you are created. and Imagine kung inisip ng mga magulang nyo na magiging dagdag lang kayo sa kahirapan ng Pilipinas malamang wala kayo dito Magpasalamat kayo sa Panginoon at sa Mga magulang nyo sa buhay na pinagkaloob sa inyo Salamat na lang at walang RH Bill! Amen and May God Be Praise!
Let's not be misinformed about the whole issue of R.H. BIll. I know there is a lot of misinformation drive out there saying that R.H.Bill is pro abortion. I have read the Bill and I could not see anything about killing a fetus.What part of it is Pro-abortion?
The Roman Catholic is threatening our politician. It's a tactic of the Pope of Rome during the emperial government system of Roman Empire to scare them that they won't go to heaven outside the Roman Catholic Church. It's a belief instituted to control even the minds emperor at that time. Today, our Politicians are dumb if they are afraid of it. Salvation and forgiveness of sin is in the person of Christ not thru a religious organization. Poor blind followers open up you mind and don't become fanatics ( Ritualism and fanaticsm are form of mind control by religious leaders to make us submit what they want and kiss their feet). Why they have to go down to that level if we want separation of church and state. If we are a democratic government, then let the lawmakers decide what's best for the country. Don't threaten thamnbecause that's their calling, while the religious leaders's calling is for the "Church." In quotation because it doesn't mean for the poor people. It is only for the interest of the Roman Church.
The Roman Church worldwide rapid increase of membership is by biological. That means the kids became Roman Catholics because they have inhereted their religion from their parents, but not necessarilly a real conversion to the the person of Christ the only Saviour that could not be substituted in any way.
If this R.H. Bill will pass, it's detrimental to the Roman Catholic biological growth and above all it's affecting the revenue derives from " Child Baptism," which every sunday hundreds of candidates for child baptism fall in line waiting for their turn with ninongs and ninangs that could only be in line after paying their fees. The people pay taxes only once a year while majority of fanatic church goers drop money everytime they attend the mass.
Therefore, R.H. Bill is a threat to the Roman Catholic Church. They are only after of the interest of their organization and not for the people and the country. To them it's Anti-Catholic.
This R.H. Bill should pass for the interes of the country and it's contituents. It's enough that the Roman Chirch have enough revenue derived from their other srvices which supposedly free as a tax exempt religious organization, but Vatican is not contented of their Billions while the people are dying in sickness,hunger homelessnes.
Enough is enough of the RC's political threat, manipulation, and disinformation using pro-life principle. Again R.H. Bill is not pro abortion.
THIS IS THE HIDDEN REASON WHY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IS STRONGLY AGAINST IT. Why not tell the whole truth why you are against it.
