MANILA, Philippines – Two months before the House of Representatives’ much-awaited vote to end debates on the Reproductive Health (RH) bill, the measure already hurdled the period of interpellations at the Senate. This does not mean though that the battle is any easier at the chamber.
Today, August 15, Senate Majority Leader Vicente “Tito” Sotto III will continue his “turno en contra” speech that he bills as an exposé. The first part of his speech, which he delivered Monday, August 13, ended in an emotional note when the senator recounted the loss of his son, which he said was due to contraceptives.
