<span style="line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">Today, the bell is no more.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

I miss the sound of the seminary bell.<br />The bell whose omnidirectional sound<br />pervades throughout the seminary premises<br />The bell whose sound calls sixty young hearts to unity.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I miss the sound of the bell.<br />The bell that shouts loudly in the morning<br />The bell that’s as majestic as the rising of the sun<br />The bell whose grandeur wakes you up at dawn<br />And whose strength forcefully pulls you away<br />Away from slumber land.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I really miss the sound of that bell.<br />The bell that rattles Ely away<br />That signals the beginning and end of a scheduled activity<br />The bell that communicates that we can start to play</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
O how I miss the angelic sound of the bell<br />That plays the role of the voice of God<br />The bell that calls a seminarian to pray<br />To recite the Hours of the day<br />To celebrate the Great Thanksgiving.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Truly do I miss the sound of the bell<br />For at home, there is none that I can hear<br />Except that EWTN rosary exhortation.<br />How can I be reminded of my rule of life<br />Without the pervasive sound of the bell?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
O bell, O bell!<br />O bell that takes my heart away.<br />O bell that transforms the seminary into a monastery.<br />O bella bell, O beautiful bell.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-top: 6px;">
Unfortunately today, the bell is no more.<br />But oh, tomorrow, the bell shall surely be.</div>

- Most Outstanding Congressman for 5 consecutive years (2004-2009), and in 2011<br />
- won landslide on her 1st term as an independent candidate<br />
- dubbed as "Congresswoman Libre" because almost everything in her district is "Libre"<br />
- called "The Feisty Dragon Lady of Zambales" for standing up to her ideals<br />
<br />
<b>On Health:</b><br />
- put up Medical and District Offices in Olongapo City, Subic, Castillejo, and San Marcelino<br />
- free medical services such as check-up; doctor's services everyday are free!<br />
- free medicines for infants up to senior citizens including maintenance medicines (hypertension, diabetes, arthritis)<br />
- free dental services such as tooth extraction<br />
- free diagnostic laboratory including tests on blood, stool, urine, ECG, sugar and cholesterol<br />
[This is the first in the history of Congress, benefiting the public school teachers<br />
who are required by DepED to submit medical/laboratory tests. Mitos<br />
Magsaysay is the only congressman in the history of Congress with free<br />
diagnostic test laboratory duly accredited by the LTO, which is of tremendous<br />
help to public utility vehicle (jeepney, taxi, bus, tricycle) drivers in her district,<br />
who are required to submit<span style="color: red;"> </span>tests in order to obtain their driver's licenses and<br />
open up their franchises]<br />
<br />
<b>On Education:</b><br />
- free tuition free for college education, vocational education, and skills training<br />
[This is full scholarship for the less fortunate. Other congressmen provide<br />
Php500 or Php1000 assistance fund for their scholars. This is not enough<br />
to pay for the entire tuition of the student! Mitos Magsaysay covers the<br />
entire tuition fee from 1st year college!]<br />
- free dormitory services for students who reside far from the state universities<br />
- assistance fund for parents of high school and elementary students to cover up their PTCA fees including those in the poorest barangays<br />
<br />
<b>On Oil-Price Hike</b><br />
- consistently reviewed the Oil Deregulation Law for nine years<br />

A couple of RED ribbons were seen tied and being tied at the poles, trees, light posts, gates, traffic sign post, street sign poles, gates and fences, Quintos Bridge, and a ground cable in Dagupan City on December 30, 2012 at the anniversary of our national hero's death. These RED ribbons had been tied to show Dagupan City's and (Pangasinan) 4th District's, opposition to the recently passed RH Law.</div>

Ramon "Bong" Revilla, Jr. explains his vote against RH Bill. This one deserves to be published.<br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;" />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">Ginoong pangulo, may kanya-kanya po tayong paniniwala at paninindigan sa usaping ito. Mayroon po kayong opinyon at mayroon din po ako. Ang mahalaga, respetuhin natin ang opinyon ng bawat isa. Magtiwala po tayo sa ating sistema na ang kalalabasan ng botohang ito ay ang makabubuti para sa ating bansa. Having said that Mr. President, I in my good conscience cannot vote in favor of the RH bill.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">Hindi ko po matatanggap na sa pamamagitan ng batas na ito, ang isang sanggol, na walang kalaban-laban, na hindi pa ipinapanganak ay sinisentensyahan na natin ng kamatayan. Life is a gift, a blessing, Mr. President, not a curse. I say this because of experience.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">Lani and I lost a daughter due to a complication caused by the use of contraceptive pills. Her name is Ma. Alexandra. Ipinanganak po siya noong 1990, ngunit 26 na araw lang siyang nabuhay. Ipinanganak po siya Ginoong Pangulo na butas ang puso. Before Lani gave birth to her, she was properly and religiously taking pills. Hindi lang po pumalpak yung pills, ipinanganak pa siyang may malubhang karamdaman. Up to this day, Mr. President, I still think of what could have been for Alexandra.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">Mr. president, dito lang po sa atin, 5 sa 23 senador ang nawalan ng anak dahil sa kumplikasyong dulot ng kontrasepsyon. Sa bilang na ito, halos lahat ay dahil sa diperensya sa puso.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">I do not believe that the RH Bill will deliver any of its promises the way it sets them out. There is a saying that you can only bring the horse to the water, but you cannot force the horse to drink. Gagastos po tayo ng bilyong-bilyong piso para bumili ng contraceptives, pero hindi naman natin masisiguro na gagamitin ito. At kung gamitin man ang mga ito, wala namang kasiguruhan na makakamit ng programa ang nilalayon nito - ang pigilan ang paglago ng populasyon upang mabawasan ang kahirapan.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">Instead of building more schools, procuring more books, and hiring more teachers to solve the education backlog, the RH bill sees the solution in simply reducing students. Para mabawasan daw ang problema sa kalusugan, imbes na pag-ibayuhin ang mga serbisyo-medikal, bawasan na lang ang mga mangangailangan ng serbisyo. Para matugunan ang problema sa pabahay, sa halip na magpatayo ng bahay, bawasan na lang ang mangangailangan ng tahanan. Instead of government doing its job to address the needs of the people, let us just eliminate those who have needs.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">Naiintindihan ko po Ginoong Pangulo na kailangan po nating kumilos para tugunan ang mga problema ng bayan. Ngunit Ginoong Pangulo, kailanman hindi ako makapapayag na sabihing ang problema ng bayan ay ang sarili niyang mamamayan.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">Kaya naman Ginoong Pangulo, tumatayo po ako ngayon sa inyong harapan at sa Inang bayan, bilang tinig ng mga mamamayang nasasapawan ang boses. More importantly, I stand Mr. President as the voice of the unborn child.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px;">Ang akin pong boto ay dikta ng aking konsensiya, at sa aking paninindigan kung ano ang tama. Mr. President, I vote NO to the RH bill.</span>Rowel Allan Rocabertehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14478444196202145506noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897986941594612236.post-50188977891006777752012-12-17T18:13:00.004-08:002012-12-30T11:33:36.086-08:00EVEN IF<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #e06666;">Even if the legislators have voted for it, I will still advocate for its defeat.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #e06666; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Even if they shamefully deceive other people, I will strongly expose their lies!</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #e06666; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Even if they try to promote a mentality contrary to the culture of the people, I will continue explaining the ill effects of that non-Filipino mentality.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" /></span><span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Even if they are fighting for women's rights while eventually tr</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">ansforming women into mere sexual objects, I will be a true pro-woman, respecting her rights, fighting for her real overall health, and leading her to the true purpose of her existence.</span></span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;">Even if they self-admit that they protect the health of the woman by advocating for this bill, I shall continue to refer them to the list of carcinogens released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). RH includes procurement and distribution of oral contraceptive pills which are classified as Group 1 carcinogens!</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br />Even if there's that Martial Law-like provision in the RH Bill, I will still speak the truth, for if I didn't, then lies will sound like truths in the future!<br /><br />Even if the signature of the President and the leaders of the Congress are attached for its approval, the unconstitutionality of certain provisions in the bill does not change and I shall not change my stand. I shall always side where LIFE is!</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br />Even if a seemingly intelligent lady senator admits she does not know that life starts from conception, I will always repeat that same-old-brand-new line from scientists, microbiologists, bioethicists, etc that LIFE STARTS FROM CONCEPTION, for that is the truth!<br /><br />Even if they are trying to destroy the family, I will fight for the basic unit of society, the family, from where a community will start.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;">Even if I m oppressed for my religious convictions, I will stay strong for my faith, for it is by this faith that I have come to know the Truth.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br />Even if neo-Malthusian economists teach that poverty is caused by a good and growing population, I will still believe the opposite because numbers have shown and have given us empirical evidence that it is quite the other way around.<br /><br />Even if people want to teach children the way to sex as early as grade 6, I will teach the children the way to good morals and values.<br /><br />Even if they deny that abortion will follow contraception, I will let them hold their ground, for when it happens, they will surely regret their present decision. Contraception is the mother of abortion. And the woman becomes the mother of an aborted baby.<br /><br />Even if people are so deeply bound to ignorance, I will still continue to study and learn, to crash ignorance, and to teach the little ones the way to intellect, good will, and common good.<br /><br />Even if they say that conscience was their basis, I will continue to explain that they have distorted "conscience" per se, because conscience is the "voice of God within us". Conscience should not be dictated by the pork, otherwise, there really is dictatorship! And corruption.<br /><br />Even if the President of the Philippines loses his mind, I will stay alert, think thoroughly, and let prudence be my guiding principle.<br /><br />Even if I get imprisoned for speaking of the truth, I will still speak the truth, for if not, then I become a liar!</span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;">Even if they fight for the culture of DE</span><span style="color: #e06666;">ATH, WE will fight for the culture of LIFE!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #e06666;">Even if the whole world were pro-RH, WE will still be pro-LIFE.</span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666;">As long as there is human life on earth and there are people advocating against its flourishing, there will always be the fight for LIFE.</span></i></div>

In every sense of the word. I could hardly believe that almost half of the House members who voted last December 12-13, 2012 are truly PRO-LIFE. I was hoping that the number was greater. But I was expecting that the number could have been less, given that the President of the Philippines had been abusing his power, his signature's power on pork barrel, so to speak. These 104 pro-life, pro-Filipino, and pro-family congressmen might need our votes later. <b><span style="color: red;">You don't have to remember the 104 names, you just have to remember 1 name: the name of your congressman from your district that appears on this list.</span></b><br />

<br />
Since I can not possibly include anymore their corresponding districts (that will be tedious), <b>check if you will see the name of your congressman in your own district. <span style="color: red;">DO NOT VOTE FOR HIM!</span></b><span style="color: red;"> </span>The lives of the unborn are at peril. The values of our children are at the brink of deterioration. The beloved pro-family culture of the Filipinos are soon to be destroyed. With these 113 people.<br />
<br />
REMEMBER: Do not vote for him! Do not vote for her! Your district does need him. The Philippines does not need someone who betrays today's Filipino people, and does not think about the next generation's Filipino constituents.<br />

Manay Gina de Venecia for her Pro-Life StandTwo days from now, on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Philippines, the RH Bill will be voted upon in the House of Representatives. This is under the direction of the President who, for the record, is the leader of the executive branch, not the legislative branch, of the government.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Below is a letter I have just sent to our honorable congresswoman from Dagupan City commending her of her pro-life stand.</div>
<div>

<div>
<b>"Commendation for Pro-Life Stand"</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
December 10, 2012</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Masantos na caboasan, honorable congresswoman!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have learned from some pro-life colleagues about your stand on the RH Bill and I write to commend you for being pro-life. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We, in the city of Dagupan City, in fact, in the entire Philippines, do appreciate that you fight for the right of every human being to live. Alongside it, you also fight for the preservation of the Filipino culture especially regarding issues about the family, marriage, and the marital act. In the Upper House, discussions and deliberations about the proposed amendments on the Senate version of the bill have gone as far as disrespecting that most sacred act, which married couples do.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pangasinenses do value the dignity of the human person, the sanctity of marriage, and the solidarity of the family. We hope you could be voice of the 4th district of Pangasinan on this matter.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mabuhay ka, Manay Gina! Oadia cami labat ed beneg mo. Suportaan mica ed sayan laban tayo!</div>

Merry Christmas.</div>

Greetings in the Name of the Lord whose birthday we celebrate this month!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With utmost respect to your good office, I humbly request for your "NO" vote on the RH Bill. This, I believe, after careful study on its history and consequences, as well as the work of the organizations who lobby behind it, will not be good for the Philippine economy and for the Filipinos at large. And in fact, it is not purely of Filipino origin. I hope that you shower us your mercy by respecting the dignity of the human person from its beginning up to its natural end, from conception to the last heartbeat.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
With the issues being presented at hand, in print, radio and national TV, we can clearly point out that this un-Filipino bill will open doors to pre-marital sex and extra-marital affairs, which will destroy your and my family alike, or the families of your and my family members. It will teach children a new way of looking at so sacred an act, the marital act from which springs forth new human life.<br />
<div>

<div style="font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">
<span style="font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">Thank you and may God give you the courage to stand up for the life He offers to everyone and </span>the power <span style="font-size: 13.333333969116211px;">to vote "NO" for the RH Bill.</span></div>

Nararapat lamang siguro na ako'y sumulat sa inyo at batid ko na ang sulat na ito'y napapanahon. Nakikiramay ako sa pagsalanta ng bagyong Sandy. At ilang araw na lang, eleksiyon na diyan sa Amerika. Ilang buwan na lang, halalan na ulit dito sa Pilipinas.</div>
<div>

Malayo ang Pilipinas sa Amerika. Ang iba sa inyo'y nagbakasakali upang mabigyan ng magandang kinabukasan ang mga pamilya niyo dito sa Pilipinas. Ang iba nama'y hindi na maiwan ang magandang trabaho at buhay na naghihintay, kaya't ang ilan nama'y yinaya na ang mga kapamilya nila riyan at tuluyan nang mamumuhay diyan. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sadya talagang malayo ang Pilipinas sa Amerika. At ang dalawang bansa'y may magkahiwalay na gobyerno, ngunit sa kabila nito, ang dalawang bansa ay nagtutulungan at nagkakaisa lalo na sa mga adhikaing pangkaunlaran, isama na ang pagkakaibigan. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Malaki ang gampanin ng gobyerno at pamunuan ng Amerika sa buong mundo, at siyempre sa Pilipinas. May mga napupulot at natututunan tayo sa pinakamakapangyarihang bansa sa mundo. Naihatid niya sa atin ang "public school system" kung saan ang maralitang Pinoy ay nabibigyan ng pagkakataong makapag-aral. Ipinamana at itinuro niya ang demokrasya, at ito'y tinatamasa natin ngayon at naisakatuparan sa kanyang pinakamataas na antas, kung hindi man isa sa pinakamataas sa mundo. Nariyan na rin sa mga naipamana sa atin ang liberalismo, materyalismo at sekularismo. Nahuhubog ang kamalayan ng isang Pilipino sa isang bagong kultura at pag-iisip. Nagkakaroon ng bagong pagkamulat sa ugali lalung-lalo na sa paggalang sa dignidad ng tao at pagrespeto sa kabanalan ng buhay ng tao.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kaya't hinihikayat ko kayo, mga kababayan kong Pilipino. Pag-isipan po ninyong mabuti ang inyong boto. Nawa'y mapunta ito sa taong tunay na makakapag-angat sa ekonomiya ng Amerika, sa taong gumagalang at rumerespeto sa buhay niyo, sa buhay ko, at sa buhay ng mga susunod na henerasyon. Pag-isipan po ninyong mabuti ang inyong boto... Sapagkat ang impluwensiya ni <i>Uncle Sam</i> ay umaabot kay <i>Juan dela Cruz</i>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Maraming salamat po.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gumagalang sa mga boto niyo,</div>
<div>

In 1986, Filipinos have gathered at what we call now the EDSA Shrine for the world-famous "People Power" against Martial Law, a People Power highlighting the fight for DEMOCRACY!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On August 4, 2012, segments of the Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (popularly, EDSA) and Ortigas Avenue near the boundaries of Quezon City and Pasig City have been filled with Filipinos, who gathered once again to show their concern for the most innocent, the unborn, to respect life in all its stages, to stand up for love. What transpired was not just another People Power but a new "Prayer Power", not against Martial Law but against a Martial-Law-like RH Bill. This was a "Prayer Power" highlighting the fight for LIFE!</div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
On the other hand, students and faculty members of a well-known and respected university, who could not join the Prayer Power due to non-suspension of classes, wore RED on the same day. They love LIFE and they colored the day RED!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The following are sample pictures* of my co-faculty on the Prayer Power Day!</div>

It was in July 3 of 2011 when I wrote a blog with the title
Spot the Difference[1]. Now I’m coming up with a new one with the same title. But, with a slightly different theme. Or not.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before you spot the difference (if there ever is), try to
answer first mentally what the abbreviations below could mean.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="color: purple; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>1. C4RH</b></span></h2>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you’re a Filipino citizen who cares for your country and
is updated with all the current news that the media is showing you, as well as the news
and features that the media is not showing you, then you probably already know
item number <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>1.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Oh, yes! <b>C4RH</b> stands for Catholics for Reproductive Health. And
their tagline?<span style="color: purple;"> “</span><i style="color: purple;"><b>I am a Catholic and I support the Reproductive Health (RH)
Bill.</b></i><span style="color: purple;">”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s move forward now to the next abbreviation. <b>M4BQ</b>. Any
idea? Wild guess? M4BQ means Muslims for Burning of Qur’an. An M4BQ could very
well say, <span style="color: orange;">“</span><i style="color: orange;"><b>I am a Muslim and I support the Burning of a Qur’an</b></i><span style="color: orange;">”.</span> Are you having
any idea, now, where I am arriving at?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If not yet, then let’s give <b>F4CCSS </b>a try. Give it a try. Go
on. Just 10 seconds. Think of what it could mean. F4CCSS. That would mean,
brace yourself up, Filipinos for China’s Claim on Scarborough Shoal. Need I say
more? F4CCSS’s tagline: <span style="color: yellow;">“</span><i style="color: yellow;"><b>I am a Filipino and I support China’s Claim
on Scarborough Shoal.</b></i><span style="color: yellow;">”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After having identified the meanings of the three
abovementioned abbreviations, we can now move on with the game. SPOT THE
DIFFERENCE! I’ll give you 5 seconds. In the case that you cannot give an answer in 5 seconds,
I’ll give you an eternity to think it over. In the case you give up, because
there is no difference among the three, then never use again your Catholic
identity while supporting the RH Bill, lest you might be branded an infidel or a traitor, for that matter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A faithful Muslim cannot be in favor of
the burning of the holy Qur’an[2]. A true Filipino cannot give his support to China in
its claim on the Scarborough or Panatag Shoal (Bajo de Masinloc). A true and faithful
Catholic cannot, in a similar manner, support the RH Bill! (Period)<br />

Nakababahala itong mga naririnig ko ngayong balita tungkol sa mga amang nagsalita laban sa birth control pills. Nagsisilabasan na ang mga amang nagsasabing gumamit dati ang kanila mga asawa ng contraceptive pills bilang paraan nila ng family planning. Nariyan na ang pag-amin ni <b>Senador Tito Sotto</b> sa kanyang talumpating TURNO EN CONTRO sa Senado. Ayon sa kanya, namatay ang limang buwang anak nila ni Helen Gamboa na noo'y gumagamit ng contraceptive pills. Namatayan din naman ng anak si <b>Sen. Ramon "Bong" Revilla </b>dahil sa paggamit ng asawa niyang si Lani Mercado ng pills at sinasabing ito ang naging dahilan sa pagkakaroon ng congenital heart disease ng kanilang anak na namatay din 19 taon na ang nakararaan. Noong dekada 90, tuluyan nang nawala sa piling ni dating gobernador at kongresista ng Surigao del Norte <b>Ace Barbers</b>, na ngayo'y spokeperson ng Nacionalista Party, ang panganay na anak niyang lalaki dahil na rin sa maling choice nila ng paggamit ng kanyang maybahay ng birth control pills.<br />
<br />
Nakababahala rin ang pagkabuntis ng mga kababaihan sa kabila ng paggamit nila ng birth control pills. Ang inaakalang katuwang ng mga kababaihan para hindi mabuntis ay pumapalya pala. Dapat nga bang ibigay ng isang babae ang kanyang tiwala sa isang pill na nangangakong hindi siya magkakaanak pero hindi pala siya kayang protektahan siyento-porsiyento? Kahit naka-pill na, nabubuntis pa rin pala ang babae. At hindi lang iyon, ang batang ipinagbubuntis ay maaaring magkaroon ng problemang pangkalusugan na maaaring maging dahilan ng pagkamatay nito. Ilang mga magulang pa kaya ang mawawalan at mamamatayan ng anak dahil sa paggamit ng contraceptives?<br />
<br />
Sa ilalim ng RH Bill, ang gobyerno ay mamimigay ng contraceptive pills bilang tulong kuno sa mga magulang na nais magplano ng kanilang pamilya. Ngunit lingid sa kaalaman ng nakararami, ang mga ipamimigay na contraceptives pills ay nakasasama sa kalusugan ng mga kababaihan at ng mga batang mabubuo sa kabila ng paggamit ng contraceptives.<br />

<br />
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">I just can't help not posting these two verses which specifically strengthens the argument that the Bible can not be pro-RH since RH Bill/Law gets away with conception ("contraception") , or birth ("abortion" or killing of an unborn baby).</pre>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
</pre>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you." --Jeremiah 1:5 (NIV)</pre>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
</pre>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;"><pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">"Before I was born the Lord called me..." "And now the Lord says-He
who formed me in the womb to be His servant..." --Isaiah 49:1,5</pre>
</pre>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
</pre>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">The Lord formed us, humans, through a woman's womb, not solely the woman forming humans by herself and claiming all the right over her body up to the point of killing whomever she bears.</pre>

"transgenders", to join the world-renowned pageant. In one of the tweets of the Filipina beauty queen to Miss Universe co-owner Donald Trump, she quoted "Whatever happened to the essence of a woman?"<br />
<br />
It all started with Miss Universe Canada contestant named Jenna Talackova (called Walter Talackova<span style="color: #999999;">[1]</span> in "his" younger years), when "he" was initially disqualified for the Miss Universe Canada which will be held on May 19th of this year because "he" did not meet the requirements to compete despite having stated otherwise on her entry form<span style="color: #999999;">[2]</span>. But due to media outcry<span style="color: #999999;">[3]</span>, <i>then-Walter-now-Jenna</i> would be allowed to compete in this year's pageant, should "he" meet the legal gender recognition requirements of Canada, and the standards established by other international competitions<span style="color: #999999;">[4]</span>.<br />
<br />
Supposing a male have legally fixed his gender to be female, I am bound to think if he ever truly becomes a female. By paper, yes. <i>He</i> may be a <i>she</i>! So this man, by the power of pen and paper, calls himself, and demands others to call him a "She-man". He acquires the guts to call himself a woman, just because he lost his male reproductive organ. But did he gain womanhood by losing his manhood? No. Not at all. He may have larger breasts than he had before, but he does not have the female reproductive organ, which scientists call the ovary.<br />
<br />
This brings to my memory that one classic answer by the beautiful Sushmita Sen, the 1994 Miss Universe Queen from India. In that competition, all the three finalists were asked the same question, "What, for you, is the essence of being a woman?" And the best answer came from that stunning lady from India, befitting the Miss Universe crown, who answered,<br />
<br />
<b> "I think, being a woman, by itself, the very fact that you're a woman is a </b><br />
<b> gift of God, which all </b><b>of us </b><b>must </b><b>appreciate. The origin of a child is a </b><br />
<b> mother, and is a woman. And a woman is one </b><b>who shares love, and who </b><br />
<b> shows a man what love, caring and sharing is all about. That is the </b><br />
<b> essence of a woman." </b>[It was delivered more powerfully in the video.<br />
Watch it <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q9ZTReOQzc">HERE</a>.]<br />
<br />
The president of the Miss Universe Organization Paula Shugart said, "<span id="articleText">We have a long history of supporting equality for all women and this was something we took very seriously."<span style="color: #999999;">[5]</span></span> Very seriously, eh? But failing to consider that transgenders were naturally born <i>men</i>? And that these are not truly women because they do not have that biological organ which distinguishes a woman from a man, that which gives a woman the capacity to bear a child. She said that this policy change was a result of their ongoing discussions with GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Allaince Against Defamation) <span style="color: #999999;">[6]</span>. Yeah, right. A "result" of discussion with GLAAD, but an "insult" to real and natural women.<br />
<br />
Rules are set up and revised by those on top. So if the ones on top do not know how to differentiate a woman from a man, and the beauty of the man-who-looks-like-a-woman from the living beauty of the true and natural woman, then this very prestigious pageant, now filled with controversy, may not be as awesome as before. Soon, this competition may have the reputation of not having a good reputation anymore. Whatever the policies turn out to be and however the populace accept or reject these policies, the truth remains that these men, whose looks can be deceiving, are still not biologically women (however legally they may be). Miss Universe may get wider acceptance or reduced viewership, nevertheless, the dignity of women joining this pageant is lost, rather than promoted.<br />
<br />
In the recent news that went into the airwaves, this new policy is up for gear next year. And before that time comes, brace yourselves with the headlines "<b>Man defeats women in women's pageant</b>" or "<b>Man slams women's face in Miss-ter Universe</b>".<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I have read a Facebook thread regarding RH Bill and some
issues have not been put to an end. I just want to try to put my stand on some
points on the thread.*</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First, I do not wish to comment on one’s experience on the
pre-marital sex, because whatever a person does or have done before, does not
affect the RH Bill. But the RH Bill consequently affects what a person does or will
do, as it affects how a person decides.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Second, I do not want to talk about the Trinitarian belief
as this is entirely off the topic. This thread is initially intended for the RH
Bill issue. A new thread on the Trinity would be better to avoid spurious
topics coming out.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>POINT # 1: Ectopic Pregnancy</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I think the RH Bill has nothing to do with this one. If a
woman has ectopic pregnancy, neither a condom, a hormonal contraceptive, an
intrauterine device, an injectable, or tubal ligation, would be a solution to
this problem. Science, itself, will tell us only two steps how to solve this: remove
the diseased tissue of the fallopian tube, or administer a drug that causes
chemical abortion. Of the following provided for in Section 9, HB 96 (aka. RH
Bill) and the deliberations in the Congress that follow, nothing solves the
problem of ectopic pregnancy, unless if “methotrexate” or “microsurgery” are
included for abortion purposes. And if they were included, then a lot more reason,
we should reject the RH Bill, as it includes abortion drugs or abortion
procedures.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>POINT # 2: Pre-marital Sex</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The pro-life side, that is anti-RH, has the conviction that
legislating the RH Bill will increase promiscuity, thus increased pre-marital
and extra-marital affairs. It is quite worth noting also that the pro-RH side
believes that the RH Bill will not result to increased cases of pre-marital
sex. In Sec. 4(o) of SB 2865 (a.k.a. RH Bill), Reproductive Health “implies that
people <b>are able to have a safe and
satisfying sex life</b>, that they have the capability to reproduce and the
freedom to decide if, <b>when, and how
often to do so</b>.” It is imperative,
then, that the aim is to increase sexual activity among people, and the people
are given the freedom “<b>WHEN</b>” to do
so. This means, they can do so before marriage, <b><u>thus pre-marital sex</u></b>. They can also do so, outside of
marriage, <b><u>thus extra-marital affair</u></b>.
Moreover, the people are given the freedom “<b>HOW OFTEN</b>” to do so. This means, they can increase sexual activity
as they want to. And since the people will be given condoms and contraceptives,
which give a sense of security from getting pregnant, it is but proper to
assume that there will be increased sexual activity. Thus, <b>INCREASED PRE-MARITAL SEX and INCREASED EXTRA-MARITAL AFFAIRS</b>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>POINT # 3: Choice</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The right to choose is an inalienable right. This is not a
point of debate. When the RH Bill is put to the trash bin, the right to choose is not
trampled upon. Any woman may still use a contraceptive. Any man may still buy
condoms at the nearest convenience stores. The problem is if the RH Bill is
passed into a law. Catholic healthcare service providers, who choose to refuse
to extend healthcare services, out of conscientious
objection, and refuse to refer to another healthcare service provider out of
the same reason (cf. Sec. 28 (a) 3, HB 4244, RH Bill), shall be penalized by
imprisonment, or a fine, or both (cf. Sec. 29). The inalienable right to choose
of the Catholic healthcare service provider is now trampled upon! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>POINT # 4: Separation Between Church and State</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This does not at all imply that the clergymen, priests,
pastors, and/or ministers are prohibited from speaking against any bill or
government policy which they think is not good for the constituents and would
destroy the moral fiber of the nation. Remember, these ministers are citizens
of this country, too! And these pastors also have the freedom of speech. This constitutional
rule means that the State does not have to tax a single Church; no single
religion will be promoted by the State; no funds will be used for a particular
Church. This is what is guaranteed by the Constitution.</div>

There are still a lot more to say about this RH
Bill. But I just used the ones which have been mentioned in the thread. I have excluded of course the issues on religion.</span><br />
