The Doctor of Helen Gamboa and Tito Sotto is PRO-RH.
The family of Dra. Carmen Enverga-Santos—whom Sen. Tito Sotto identified as his wife Helen Gamboa's obstetrician in his anti-RH Bill speech—posts statement saying the late doctor would have backed RH Bill
"As one of Dra. Carmen Enverga-Santos’ children, [I must say] we were all surprised to hear her name brought up by Sen. Sotto during the deliberations on the RH Bill.
Anyone who knew her, including her family, colleagues in the medical field, her medical students, friends, confessor as well as her patients, knows that she would have supported the RH bill and would have openly expressed her support for the bill because of her concern for our country’s problems with overpopulation and its subsequent impact on poverty, quality of life issues, and the health of all mothers."

Really disheartening to read such crap sophistry especially from an "honorable" person who left the basics out of her argument – The fifth commandment states:
THOU SHALL NOT KILL!
The RH Bill is all about Population Control as part of the UNHR Population Agenda under the auspices of the proponents promoting the recommendations of NSSM 200.
The mechanics of NSSM 200, which recommends political control through economic control, involves lessening of the human resources of countries.
With the lack of human resources target countries cannot utilize their resources and progress economically thus become weak.
The promotion of the use of contraceptives as the tool for population control makes the RH Bill immoral. This does not only kill the unborn human life but also harms even fatally the user of such contraceptives.
Not only do contraceptives kill the unborn human life and harm the user but also the whole of society as the contraceptive culture is introduced into the cultures of target societies.
Attached are articles and studies that prove that such recommendation as stated in the NSSM 200 works and that contraceptives kills. The articles and studies in the attachments also shows the severe negative effects of on countries that embraced the UNHR Population Control Agenda of which the RH Bill promotes.

Then the Reproductive Health Bill must promote the Health of Women to ensure that they shall be able to have a safe
delivery.
Using artificial contraceptives does not lower the risk of those becoming pregnant if health support infrastructure
is not in place to help those who are expecting a child.
Even animals have their mortality rate and you solve the root of the problem and not give them condoms or artificial
contraceptives. The more people on earth the more we can create infrastructure and even explore what is in the
Universe.
God is Love and also God is Justice and Order.
When a couple uses artificial contraceptive and it fails that is then an "Unwanted Pregnancy", which results to an
"Unwanted Child", which then results to the need for "legal abortion".
It is those who promote contraception that shall distort what Love is and replace it with Self-gratification, a false sense of love
out of convenience and not Love a result of Commitment and Sacrifice.
>"Filipino Catholics should now insist that priests and bishops in our country are no longer a special caste in Philippine society. The Catholic Church does not consist of the priests and bishops alone. Instead, the Church consists of the whole faith community.
>I very humbly submit that since the priest is no longer a special person in Catholic theology, many Filipino priests are suffering from a sense of confusion about RH."
The author have already lost the sense of being Catholic to even speak of the place of Bishops and Priests in the Catholic Church and theology.
REASON 7
Morality is Universal and not anti-poor.
We have problems in our society, in our government, in whatever position we are in because people do not follow morality.
Moreover, it is also our moral duty to protect the poor, help them by providing education, work, and opportunities. People
have replaced this morality to a currency called ----> Money. Most people are inspired to serve only when money is on the table.
REASON 8
The delay of RH Bill proves to be good in Filipinos. We increase and fill the dwindling human resource in Dubai, Canada, Japan,
and other places.
Meanwhile the young generations are hooked with reality shows but failed to take care of their real life. Throw the TV and be productive.
Your success is also a bridge for other people to be successful.
WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS AND WE INCREASE IN KNOWLEDGE TO BRING US TO THE NEXT FRONTIER.
TODAY, THE ENEMIES DON'T SEND BOMBS TO WIPE OUT A NATION ... THEY JUST LET THEM HOOK INTO CONTRACEPTIVES.

1. VENOUS THROMBOSIS IN USERS OF NON-ORAL HORMONAL CONTRACEPTION
British Medical Journal (BMJ), published 10 May 2012.
"Conclusion: Women who use transdermal patches or vaginal rings for
contraception have a 7.9 and 6.5 times increased risk of confirmed
venous thrombosis compared with non-users of hormonal contraception
of the same age, corresponding to 9.7 and 7.8 events per 10 000
exposure years. The risk was slightly increased in women using
subcutaneous implants but not in those using the levonorgestrel
intrauterine system."

It’s not a matter of being “trying Hard Catholics” but rather a matter of preventing the degeneration of Philippine Society and the curtailing of our basic right to practice or religion with the oppressive provisions and penalties of the RH Bill.
Back in the 70’s, there were still no data concerning the action and side-effects of contraceptives that the moral issues involved was not yet manifest that the Catholic Church have had no pronouncements concerning the use of contraceptives.
However with the medical findings that all contraceptives are abortifacients and that its use promotes irresponsibility leading promiscuity as evidenced with psychological and sociological studies of countries that have embraced the UNHR Population Control Agenda that the RH Bill in fact promotes, gave enough evidences to see that the use of contraceptives is harmful to humanity – therefore its use is immoral.
The studies and findings were pronounced that Pope Paul VI pronounced in his encyclical ‘Humanae Vitae’ the condemnation of the use of contraceptives.
It’s really not a matter of being “trying Hard Catholics” but rather a matter of preventing the degeneration of Philippine Society.

Subject: Ateneo rejects RH bill
Date: Thu, Aug 30, 2012 8:28 pm
This article is from the CBCP Monitor:
CBCP Monitor Vol16 n18
Ateneo rejects RH bill
By Roy Lagarde
THE Ateneo De Manila University (ADMU) has reaffirmed its opposition to the controversial reproductive health (RH) bill opposed by the Catholic Church.
ADMU president Fr. Jose Ramon Villarin, SJ said the university has never changed its stand against artificial contraception together with the Catholic hierarchy.
“Together with our leaders in the Catholic Church, the Ateneo de Manila University does not support the passage of House Bill 4244 (The Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population and Development Bill),”Villarin said.“
As many of these leaders have pointed out, the present form of the proposed bill contains provisions that could be construed to threaten constitutional rights as well as to weaken commonly shared human and spiritual values,” he said.
The head of one of the country’s leading universities made the statement August 20 as a reaction to the endorsement made by 159 ADMU professors for the passage of the RH bill.
It also followed a strong appeal made by the head of the Catholic Bishops ‘Conference of the Philippines for Catholic schools not to defy the teachings of the Church.
In letter to the CBCP, the Jesuit hierarchy has also assured support forth CBCP in its fight against the bill, which will require billions of pesos in taxpayers’ money to fund contraception and sterilization programs as well as “questionable” ***-education modules.
Fr. Jose Magadia, provincial superior of the Society of Jesus in the Philip-pines, said that in the country’s many struggles, they have always sought to work with the bishops as their “pastors and guides.”
“This means, as has happened in many prior issues of national concern, it is our preference not to lead you but to follow you, our Bishops,” Magadia said.
“May such spirit continue even as we remain one with you in prayer and in desire that fullness of the Gospel be proclaimed for all our people,” he said.
Don’t defy Church teachings
Archbishop Jose Palma, CBCP president, asserted that Catholic universities must teach and uphold the official teachings of the Church.
“If we are a Catholic school, we should not teach anything contrary to the official teachings of the church,” Palma said.
Amid the debate on a controversial artificial contraception measure, he admitted that there is a clash of beliefs between the church and teachers of some Catholic schools.
“In some places, we first talk to them because some teachers may have some misunderstanding of what they think of freedom of conscience or academic freedom,” said Palma.
“In some of the universities, we say that if you want to teach that idea, do not do it in a Catholic school because we are confusing the students… do it in other universities,” he said.
The CBCP head stressed that the motive why many parents send their children to Catholic schools are for reasons of faith formation.
“They are hoping that their children will learn the Catholic teaching and also the Catholic formation,’ he said. “It will be a contradiction if we will bombard them with ideas which are against the official teachings of the Catholic faith,” added Palma.
Open to dialogue
Palma said the CBCP is also willing to conduct dialogue with professors of the Jesuit-run Ateneo De Manila University over the RH bill.
“For me, there’s really a need for a sincere dialogue because the professors, I think must be motivated by their desire to discover what is good,” Palma said.
The bishops, he said, are open to dialogue with the pro-RH bill Ateneo professors “because we are all part of the Church and we are responsible for our actions.”
“We are willing to meet other people with dialogue,” said the soft-spoken prelate.
He also revealed that members of the CBCP Permanent Council will meet on September 4 to talk on certain “academic concerns” related to RH bill.
“We will talk about good approaches, solutions and the task of Catholic universities to seek the truth and of course to continue studying and working out hoping to come out with possible solutions to many concerns from the academic and also related points of view,” Palma said.
“In the search, we should be guided by the light of truth or by the light of faith. That is the mission of the Church,” he said.
Palma also lauded the ‘sincerity’ of the ADMU administration and the Philippine Province of the Society of Jesus in standing with the CBCP against the RH bill.
“They are both sincere in saying that they are with us together with the Catholic Church when they said that they are with us,” he said.
‘Not trigger happy’
Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas, CBCP vice president, echoed Palma’s statement and emphasized that the bishops are not just acting on issues without valid reason.
“We bishops are not trigger happy with imposing penalties because we, at first, are brothers and we, at first, are fathers who need to guide and correct,” Villegas said.
He made the statement during a press conference at the start of the 2012 Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP) Annual Convention at the SMX Center in Pasay City on August 29.
According to him, the bishops would always resort to dialogue in cases of misunderstandings within the church.
“When we see errors, the first thing that we do is to dialogue… call the child and ask for an explanation then explain my side and listen to his side. Let us talk,” he said.
If the dialogue does not work, he said that by law, there has to be a written reprimand and they go on with investigation.
“But if the child of the Church remains incorrigible, then that is when the sanctions are imposed. And the sanctions are not always excommunication. It is not always termination from the job. There are different degrees of sanction,” said Villegas, who also chairs the CBCP Episcopal Commission on Catechesis and Catholic Education.
The CEAP also reiterated its “one-ness” with the bishops and expressed its strong objection to any law, which promotes “abortifacient regulation of birth.”
“The killing of human life is absolutely forbidden. It is prohibited by the Philippines Constitution and prohibited by the 5th Commandment. The CEAP is one (with the bishops) in protecting human life from the moment of conception,” the CEAP said in a statement read by its National Advocacy Commission Chair, Fr. Joel Tabora SJ.
“The CEAP supports the bishops in their official teachings, which is binding all believers the official teaching concerning the dignity of human life, the need to choose life and to support a culture of life and to affirm and reaffirm the sacredness of ***uality,” said Tabora, who is also the president of Ateneo De Davao University.
Contradiction
In a statement, the Ateneo professors said that the RH bill is not a population control measure but a legislation that promotes ***ual reproductive rights, the right to health and the right to in-formed choice.
Their position, however, contradicts the statement of no other than President Benigno Aquino III who wants the bill passed, saying that population control is the answer to the backlogs in education and the alleviation of poverty.
The professors first released this statement in 2008, and reiterated their stand recently as the House entered into the period of amendments on the RH measure.
They also stated that they are not speaking for the entire Ateneo institution and only expressing their personal position.
Villarin also asked Ateneo professors who are engaged in the Christian formation to ensure that the “Catholic position on this matter continues to be taught in our classes, as we have always done.”
He added the university will continue to support the Church in its future actions should the bill is passed by Congress.
“Should the bill with whatever amendments be passed, we should neither hesitate to bring to the judiciary whatever legal questions we may have nor cease to be vigilant in ensuring that no coercion takes place in implantation,” he added.

September 20th, 2012 10:40 AM #809Promiscuity is there, whether we want it or not. Global culture promotes it. We can hide our heads in the sand and pretend we can protect our children from ever learning abput it... but most of the girls I know who had to drop out of school due to pregnancy were the most sheltered... or we can give people the tools to deal with the side effects. Go to any slum area or provincial town and look at all the fifteen year old mothers in the eye and tell them they shouldn't learn about or use contraceptives.
If you read the bill, it gives everyone involved the option to either use or not use artifical contraceptives. Abortifacents are not promoted. Any contraceptive found to be abortifacent can be banned by law... As has already happened with certain pills.
Philippine society has no further to degenrate. Since the 80's, children could pick up discarded tabloids at the fish vendor and read about ***, or see ***y films by sneaking into the cinema. Since the 90's, they could see it on the computer at cybercafes or at home.
Children know ***. You might try to deny it or stop your kid from learning, but how does that protect them from the other kids that do? An uninformed girl or boy is an easy target for ***ual predators or even promiscuous classmates.
Knowledge is power. And the RH Bill is all about knowledge, a proper *** ed curriculum that also promotes abstinence, comprehensive reproductive health counselling, everything. The authors have already backed down on the ideal family size provision, which I also disagree with, as ideal size should be around 3 to 4 instead of 2, to make uo for those who don't have kids. And there's nothing in there promoting abortion or forcing people to use contraceptives. So what's the problem?Last edited by niky; September 20th, 2012 at 10:42 AM.

In praise of MVP and Miriam
FROM THE STANDS By Domini M. Torrevillas (The Philippine Star) Updated September 27, 2012 12:00 AM
I join Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago in praising businessman Manny V. Pangilinan for supporting the Reproductive Health bill as he announced his “complete and total disengagement” from the Ateneo University whose views on the bill conflicted with his personal convictions. Pangilinan was a generous financial supporter of the university.
Pangilinan said in his letter to Ateneo president Fr. Jett Villarin, SJ, that he did “not agree (either) with some of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines’ pronouncements, including its recent stance on the RH bill. At times, I believe the CBCP has taken positions contrary to the interest of our country.”
He wrote further: “The CBCP should earn its rightful place in the national debating table by showing tangibly and significantly its concern for the poor and the corrupt, and sharing the burden with business and government the enormous task of nation-building — including the appropriate moral formation of our people and our leaders.”
“My only prayer is that more people would be as independent-minded as Manny,” Santiago said at a media conference. “The RH bill would be beneficial to our people, especially the poor. No one can help us but ourselves.”
Santiago is co-sponsor with Sen. Pia Cayetano of the RH bill in the Senate. A statement from her media bureau said she is “dismayed that the Senate leadership has yet to calendar the RH bill for plenary amendments.” The RH bill, she said, is over ten years old, “it is cowardly to keep postponing the decision.”

September 28th, 2012 01:31 PM #817Some bishops see pro-RH foes behind Cebu priest’s case
Some Catholic prelates believe that the issues raised against Msgr. Cristobal Garcia are being used by their enemies to discredit the Church and may also have something to do with its stand on the reproductive health (RH) bill.
“The enemies are using that particular case in Cebu to discredit the Church,” said Sorsogon Bishop Arturo Bastes, a member of the Permanent Council of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).
Garcia, who has a huge collection of religious icons made of ivory, has been linked by the National Geographic to the illegal ivory trade.
