In a nutshell, RH Bill hopes to give our people their basic human right to choose the kind of family planning method and reproductive health education they want for themselves and to their family. Once enacted, the government will protect, provide, and finance free access to a full range of safe and effective family planning methods (natural and artificial) to all Filipinos, and therefore empower a healthy and responsible populace.
Given that tremendous practical advantage to our people, especially the poor ones with no capacity to avail resources and special education regarding health and sex education, still some of our supposed representative in the Lower House directly object the passage of RH Bill.
Much thanks to RH Bill advocate Carlos Celdran for providing a working list of our ‘honorable’ Congressmen who openly oppose the RH Bill. Now that we already identified them, we know much better now who to consider for re-election. Also, feel free to call or write the office/s of these public figures and express your own thoughts regarding RH Bill and demand an explanation on how/why they’ve come up with that decision.
I’ll be interested in reading those letters from you.

I am not surprised. Most. if not all, of them owe their post to the ignorance of the poor. They are of the same league with priests.
Locsin, Teodoro Jr. ? really??
check this article from a christian site last year which puts him on the "pro list":
http://www.cbcpnews.net/?q=node/4687
are these people identified individually by personal stance or because they're from a common political party?
would be a bummer if he did jump ship
