Secularism

Red Tani called out Eric Manalang for lying at the Ang ProLife COMELEC party-list accreditation hearing. But don't just take his word for it. We've have video footage of the hearing.

You may have heard about Pro-Life Philippines' recent filing of their new congressional party list, ANG PRO LIFE. Perhaps you wondered how this camp, with high profile supporters like Golez, Pacquiao, Sotto, and Enrile, who have managed to delay reproductive health legislation for more than a decade, could realistically be called 'underrepresented' (a basic requirement for establishing a party list group).

Our newest podcast (that's also a video) is up! Here, Marge, Ria and Red discuss the current protest of some Christian groups against the Lady Gaga concert, the difficulties of satire in a country where the news reads like stories out of The Onion, and how beauty queen Miriam Quiambao's courage in defiance of popular opinion has contributed to the awareness of LGBT rights.

In this episode, we discuss President Benigno Aquino's second State of the Nation Address, and we deliver our own State of Secularism Address.

In this episode we recap what happened at the public hearing on the Ayala Alabang Village Ordinance that, among other things, required prescriptions for contraceptives -- even condoms.

We talk about how the ordinance was created, what the anti-ordinance advocates are doing to stop it, and what we're going to do next, given recent developments and all that's happened at today's hearing.

Joining us is Kevin Punzalan, one of the organizers of the anti-ordinance advocates and admin of the We Oppose the Ayala Alabang Ordinance 01 of 2011 Facebook group. Enjoy!
