MANILA, Philippines - Here's a list of 10 major amendments that are "acceptable" to the authors of consolidated House Bill 4244 or the Reproductive Health bill. Principal author Albay Rep Edcel Lagman said the amendments are meant to "address and accommodate the concerns, reservations and objections of some members of the House and concerned public."

Lagman said it also includes the amendments by President Benigno Aquino III, which he recommended to the Legislative-Executive Development Advisory Council last year.
