Appeal for the passage of RH Bill into Law

An Appeal to the Philippine Legislators,

While the “POPE APPEALS TO WORLD LEADERS TO FIGHT POVERTY” and to “"courageously take and apply the necessary measures to wipe out extreme poverty, hunger, ignorance and the plague of pandemics,which above all, hit the most vulnerable." (CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy 09/22/2008 | 12:19 AM GMA News TV)

The undersigned, an ordinary Filipino, a Catholic, ( a Social Worker, who has long been dealing with the difficulties of the many poor children and their families in the squatter and non-squatter areas) appeals to our other legislators to -

PLEASE … do something for our FILIPINOS living in extreme POVERTY !
and for families in very difficult circumstances, with too many children
who are neglected, malnourished and some dying!

Is this what “pro-life” Catholics … call,the sanctity /sacredness of life? When
many of the Filipinos are living but dying young or having a miserable life?

compared to that life which is well-planned, using safe and effective Family
Planning Method of their choice and a better chances of having children with
a better quality of life!

the least your Honor can do for the poor Filipinos is to
SUPPORT the RH Bill ! which has been long overdue …

The Filipinos expect your Honor and the rest of the Legislators to be INDEPENDENT-MINDED, to DECIDE based on what is FOR THE GOOD OF THE MANY poor Filipinos … and not to be swayed by the threats of one religious group. Pls. consider that not all Filipinos are Catholics nor are all Catholics oppose the RH Bill; many lay people are just silent for various reasons and so are a number of priests and devout but liberal Catholics.

I greatly hope you will consider this and the appeals of the many RH Supporters who are thinking of the benefits this law will have, to the many poor Filipinos … Thank you very much!

Very truly yours,
