The right position to take on the RH Bill

-
The venerable Big Boss of AntiPinoy.com (AP) summarised what in my opinion is the best position to take on the issue of Reproductive Health in the Philippines. He does this in a comment to a recent article on AP...
Catholics have the option of not availing the services.

Non-catholics have the option of availing the services.

The "services" here being whatever the state would be empowered to offer Filipinos (impoverished by their enormously unproductive numbers) if the Reproductive Health Bill is enacted to Law against the wishes of the Men in Robes of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).

It’s simple, really™ — though not for the small-minded.

    Going against the will of God is NOT an option.

    How do we get to grasp or know what exactly God's "will" is?

    If it is "not" an option, then why is said option available to take?

    We have free will... Though if you're a Christian, your job is to not to stop people from doing bad but telling them what IS bad. yung pagpigil trabaho ng pulis yon. The best you can do is to talk to them no matter what their response may be (or if they respond at all) and then PRAY that God would enlighten everyone. so what kung mali ang RH bill? it's not your job to stop it and you don't know din kung ano ung will ni God para sa RH bill. Just pray and ask for understanding.

From "anomalous" spending to "imbalanced" spending: P-Noy eats his words yet again

From what was hyped up to be a "shocking" "exposé" of "awe"-some proportions, Malacanang has now toned down its position on the fiscal position of the government and, backpedals yet again to using more benign words since promising in a 25th July Inquirer.net report "revelations of 'shocking' anomalies" in the previous administration's handling of government finances leading to "the depletion of the P1.54-trillion national budget and calamity fund".

Why not bury former President Ferdinand E. Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (Filipino Heroes' Cemetery)? That is the question that came to light recently in the wake of the burial there of former Secretary and retired General Angelo Reyes, who was in the middle of being implicated in a big-time corruption scandal at the time of his death on the 8th of February this year. Marcos's son, Senator Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr today "reiterated his call for the burial of his father, the late former President Ferdinand Marcos, in the Libingan ng mga Bayani". Television personality Karen Davila was quoted by ANC 24/7 as having quoted Bongbong saying that "if Angelo Reyes was buried at the Libingan ng mga Bayani, my late father should also be buried there".

Where Asia wears a smile

Filipinos have always prided themselves in being a "resilient" people. So resilient, in fact, that even the worst disasters and tragedies couldn't wipe our silly smiles off our faces. Smiling is so ingrained in our character as a people that I dare say President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III couldn't really be blamed for the reflexive smile plastered on his face as he delivered his official statement on the 23rd August hostage crisis that resulted in the deaths of eight Hong Kong tourists. He is Filipino after all. And that is what Filipinos do -- smile .
