TINANGGAL NA BA? OH WAS IT ALREADY AMENDED? HAHAHA....PACQUIAO DIDN'T READ THE CONSOLIDATED RH BILL AND ALL AMENDMENTS DONE. - SECTION 21 HE'S OBJECTING TO A CLAUSE THAT HAS BEEN AGREED TO AMEND BY ALL AUTHORS AND SUBMITTED TO THE COMMITTEE. LAGMAN SAID THAT PERHAPS HE WAS BUSY TRAINING TO FIGHT MOSLEY. HE KEPT READING HIS NOTES OBVIOUSLY SCRIPTED WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THAT YES, THIS CLAUSE WAS AMENDED INTEGRATING WITH EXISTING LABOR CODE AND AGREED BY ALL AUTHORS YET HE KEPT GOING AND GOING. SORRY PACQUIAO, YOU DO NOT BELONG IN THE GOVT. STAY IN BOXING!
Note: Revisions were submitted to the committee. It will be applied once the bill reaches the Period of Amendment.
Unfortunately, Rep. Pacquiao wasted his time objecting to Section 21 when yes, his arguments have been presented before. Amendments were submitted to reflect the point that Pacquiao was reading from his notes. Obviously, he did not read the RH Bill and any amendments submitted. He could have used his time to present his objections to other issues.
The Pacman's failed fight
By: Rina Jimenez-David
Philippine Daily Inquirer 10:31 pm | Thursday, May 19th, 2011
WHAT MANY had expected would be a blistering battle on the floor of the House of Representatives turned out to be a repeat of the Pacquiao-Mosley fight. But it turns out the tables were turned, with the Pacman content to let loose with a few jabs here and there while failing to score significant hits. Instead, it was Rep. Edcel Lagman, who declared before the encounter that he was "ready to rumble," who managed to land telling blows.
One such blow was when he noted that the Sarangani representative was out of the country preparing for his fight with Mosley when some provisions he was questioning were discussed on the floor and amended. Several times, too, Lagman observed that questions raised by Pacquiao had already been raised previously by other interpellators, although he agreed to answer them nonetheless.
Overall, the performance of Pacquiao, for whom other anti-RH bill legislators had made room for no other consideration than his celebrity, was disappointing. He seemed merely to be reading from a list of questions, and rarely bothered to follow up on Lagman's replies. He gave the impression that he was barely listening to Lagman's explanations, despite his declared passionate interest in the issue. And far from wanting to craft a better RH law, he seemed to have set out instead to torpedo the bill altogether with nothing but the power of his name and fame. Which, given the impression that he had barely read the draft law and done little research or thinking on the issue, smacks of bad faith.
* * *
BUT a sidelight to the Pacquiao-Lagman dust-up deserves some comment. When he attended a luncheon given in his honor by Catholic bishops, Pacquiao was quizzed by media on why he had taken a stance against the RH bill when his wife Jinkee had revealed some years back that she had taken oral contraceptives to space the births of their children.
Later on, Jinkee clarified that while she was on the pill shortly after the birth of her two sons, "I stopped when Manny found out and he told me he didn't approve." The Pacquiao couple has had two daughters since. In other interviews, Jinkee said that while she is content with four children, Manny would prefer to have as many as eight.
This is one of the crucial aspects of reproductive health and rights. Reproductive health seeks to protect women from getting pregnant when they do not want to, are unprepared for it, or if their health will be severely affected if they get pregnant when they're too young (below 18) or too old (over 35), when it's too soon (less than three years after a previous pregnancy), or when they have too many (more than five children).
While ideally a couple should talk about their reproductive goals—how many children they want or can afford, how close together they will come—and how they are to achieve them, my own view, one shared by many others, is that the woman's choice should prevail. After all, it's her health and body at stake, and she should know best when and if she's ready for a pregnancy. And since tradition dictates that the mother takes on a large share of child-raising, it only stands to reason that she should be able to decide how big a family she wants.
* * *
I DON'T want to create dissension within the Pacquaio household, but shouldn't Manny give Jinkee a greater say in her childbearing history? When RH proponents talk about "male participation," it is precisely the need to get men to "participate" in their wives' reproductive decisions and to respect those decisions. It doesn't mean dictating to one's wife or partner whether she is to use contraceptives or not.

He have a lot of jobs everybody knows it. That´s why he is hiring people supposed to be updating him. It´s their task to update and remind him what´s going on. So if he is clueless cause those people are not doing their job properly. Do you think he is the only politician who are not aware what´s going on around him? If u think that, you are naive, ignorance truly shows. Why all bill are written in english knowing few Filipinos can speak and understand proper english. That´s hipocricy, isn´t it?
