'Misinformed' Sotto should sue his doctor: Garin

MANILA, Philippines - One of the authors of the Reproductive Health Bill said Sen. Vicente "Tito" Sotto III should sue his wife's doctor for linking contraceptives to the death of his firstborn son.
Iloilo Rep. Janet Garin said she sympathizes with Sotto over the death of his son, Vincent Paul, but noted that the senator was misinformed about the cause of his son's heart condition.
"I sympathize with the death of his son 37 years ago but hearing him say that he was told by his doctor that the cause of heart disease was the intake of pills, I would strongly suggest that he sue his doctor for all this mental anguish they have been suffering because it is definitely not true," she told ANC's Headstart.
Sotto earlier said his campaign to block the passage of the RH Bill was a personal mission after his son, Vincent Paul, died due to alleged side effects of contraceptives. The senator said his son died due to a weak heart condition.
He said his wife's doctor could find no cause for his son's heart condition except that his wife, actress Helen Gamboa, took contraceptives.
"The Makati Medical Center said he died because my wife used contraceptives. Even her doctor admits to the fact, Dra. Enderga Santos," he said.
Sen. Pia Cayetano, meanwhile, sympathized with Sotto but said there is no evdience that shows a link between contraceptive use and heart conditions of children.
She also noted that contraceptives are supposed to be used with doctors' advice, and not just given out.
Garin, who is a medical doctor, disputed Sotto's statement that condoms pose health risks and that contraceptives are carcinogenic.
She said contraceptive pills are made out of a combination of estrogen and progesterone, which takes out side effects.
In the case of Gamboa, Garin said it is possible that the actress was not taking the pills correctly.
"She might not be taking it daily or not taking it correctly on when it should be taken. (If you miss a pill), there's a possibility you might get pregnant," she said.
The congresswoman said Sotto's statement actually shows the need to pass the Reproductive Health Bill or the Responsible Parenthood Bill to teach the people how to use contraceptives.
"This is where the problem is, we have respectable people like Sen. Sotto misinforming the public.....with the misinformation, many lives are being sacrified, many people are put into danger because of this misinformation," she said.

Ang dami ko kakilala na devoted na catholic na nag fafamily planning. Why not make it available for everybody di naman sapilitan. May nabasa ako sabi bat daw gagastos ang govt para sa contraceptives why not ibang programs nalang like housing etc. The problem is that if the population keeps on growing at an alarming rate it will cost us more to provide even the most basic needs of our people.
The problem is that sometime kung ano nalang sinabi ng catholic church is we follow it blindly. Iam not a anti catholic for i think they are one that gives most of our population hope insipite the hardship that they are experiencing. This is not a religion issue but it is something that we must do right.
ITALY and ISRAEL have Universal RH services for their people. They are the Original Christians.
82% of Pinoys want RH Bill to Pass!!!
sobra Tito Sotto is true-blooded Filipino. yan last habagat na yan ang pinarusahan mga pro RH - Banawe, Binondo, Maynila, Araneta, QC mga Fil-Chinese community na pilit sinisira ang the only thing protecting us from the external and internal elements and that is Catholic Faith.
For those who are Pro-RH, you are killing innocent unborn people for what Dahil galit kayo sa basura, baha, congestion na sino ba ang may kasalanan din , eh di kayo with your consumerist greedy hoarding lifestyle. The squatters shouldn't be blamed also coz by fact they don't have money for consumption. those garbage na nakikita natin sa kanila after this bagyo eh mga pinaglumaan nyo, na pina-uubra nila.
mga makasarili! galit sa overpopulation and congestion, eh tayo kaya yun! don't blame the unborn generation.
i can understand your angst *coder but I have to tell you, i didn't know na bi-nan ka sa religion thread. you were partner in defending the faith against the infidels like uls and monseratto. siguro akala mo hinulog kita, and for that i'm sorry.
I need you *coder coz most people here are just lost and ikaw ang isa pa na nakikita ko na malakas ang faith kay God. I won't be here all the time, in fact, I really wanted to go for reasons that I thought I'm being punished by God even though nakaligtas na naman ako sa habagat unflooded. I'm having headaches right now, coz I ate so much MSG na hindi ko alam na madami pala halo yun food na yun for 4 consecutive days. MSG + lack of sleep = killer pala yun and it's attacking my brain and nervous system. I'm currently in isolation mode that's why I wanted to hibernate my account. I'm finding God ngaun, hoping to give me another chance to life.
pag wala ako dito, ikaw lang *coder. these people talking here attacking our Church, our Bishops and our Doctrines are lost. hindi nila alam ang pinagsasabi nila coz they are just blinded by money, science, logic and systems.
pls. coder. help these lost sheeps. I have yet to save yun blair dun sa mmda thread. pero i don't have time eh, mag-coffee bean pa kami ng mga ka-gym kong mga ***y tonight. maybe later in the night na lang sya, if I find time ...
Si OB ang great funny man ng tsikot noh.
Lahat ng thread na sinasalakay niya nagiging comical.
yeah clap clap kayo. We should always remind ourselves that it is only God alone who chooses who to live and who don't.
we cannot stop life from originating, we are only creating problems if we allow those drugs to infect an unborn child who is destined to live and to do great.
baka magulat kayo yan pa maging start ng zombie apocalypse or marvel mutant heroes.
The thing is we are very special in God's heart bec we are the only catholic nation who embraces the Christian doctrine of natural reproduction. tpos I-remove yun to be like Japan, Singapore and for what dahil sa PEra. This is what makes us special, this is who we are! Embrace it, cherish it and in your face sa mga nations na mUkang PEra
ginaya style ni pandak...iba nga lang ang form ng gift...
Bishop sends gifts to solons; CBCP sticks to guns on RH
Maka-Diyos si OB.
But he admires mass murderers like Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler.
:question:i'm not for the saving of the masses. in fact, I'm so disturbed with myself bec. mas na-aattract ako sa feats ni Stalin, Musollini and even Hitler. Stalin with his summary execution of the Russians all 50M to 100M of them, Musollini's Fascism ideology and Hitler's Anti-Semitism ideology.
