The CBCP threatens politicians who support the RH bill with excommunication. But our representatives are not backing down. To ensure the passage of the bill, they are willing to risk being excommunicated.
So are we.
On November 26, 6pm, we’re throwing an excommunication party to celebrate our freedom to choose what’s best for our own bodies. Join us at Adarna Food and Culture for an evening of dinner and entertainment as we take a stand for secularism and call for the immediate passage of the RH bill.
Together with the various individuals and organizations that support the RH Bill, let us each declare:
“If supporting the RH bill means excommunication, then excommunicate me!”
Tickets for the party can be ordered online at the event minisite and are priced as follows:
- Be a Supporter: Entrance and dinner ticket for 396 pesos
- Be an Ally: Entrance, dinner ticket and an event shirt for 496 pesos
- Be an Advocate: Entrance, dinner ticket, event shirt and poster with an option to be listed as a donor on the website for 696 pesos

While previous Filipino Freethinker events – forums, film festival, meetups – have been free, this will be the first time we’re selling tickets to an event.
We want to spread freethought to as many as possible, and this event is no different. We planned to make this event free as well, but couldn’t raise enough money to pay for the expenses — food, equipment rental, venue rental, logistics, etc.
Which is why we decided to sell tickets. But here’s the thing: Even if every ticket were bought, we’d still be short on funds. The balance will be paid for by donations from several members of FF. In case it isn’t clear: We won’t make a cent from this event.
For those who can’t attend this party because of the tickets, rest assured that there will be another one, and that one will be free of charge. We’d tell you more details, but we’re busy working on the upcoming event — which is only a week away! 🙂
Spread the word about the ExComm Party on your Facebook wall, your blog, your twitter or Tumblr! Any way that you can help to get out the word about the Excommunication Party would be greatly appreciated!
After the catholic Church has realized, that here in europe nobody with an IQ over roomtemperature cares anything about what they say, they think they can still influence and control politics in countries like the philippines. I am really glad, that there are people who stands up against it and show them the middlefinger. I fully support it and say: GO ON! Who really gives a damn about hell, when heaven is full with catholic & protestant trash?

Interesting. I've been on a big noodle high lately, I have absolutely no idea why – I just got a crazy craving for noodles!! I've already tried nearly half of all the noodle recipes here ! Crazy huh. I should probably stop soon, I dont think eating noodles every day cant be good for me…
Will be in Manila on that day but I'll be busy with my wife and child so I won't be able to join. Anyway, the Church can't excommunicate me if I've already left. I like the idea of an excommunication party though so I will share this on my blog and on Facebook and Twitter.
EPIC WIN! DAMN IT I WANNA JOIN BUT I CAN'T CAUSE I'M WAAAAAY DOWN HERE…IN MINDANAO AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GO THERE. PARTY PARTY PARTY PARTY!!
Long time, Danny! 🙂 Email or YM me soon. I'll give you the details.
Can I just buy the shirt? :p

chalk it up to islamic radicals to keep coming up with creative ways to instill pain on their fellow human beings
"Iraqi militias have deployed an unprecedented form of torture against homosexuals by using a very strong glue that will close their anus. The new substance is an Iranian-manufactured glue that if applied to the skin, sticks to it and can only be removed by surgery. After they glue the anuses of homosexuals, they give them a drink that causes diarrhea. Since the anus is closed, the diarrhea causes death. "

Don’t worry, Ireland, a Catholic nation, is trying to break-free from Catholic Influence after some priests have been convicted of multiple child molestations and the CCP denied any responsibilities…
