The Senate voted against amendments of RH critics on Tuesday, December 4. Enrile and Recto first proposed the amendments to RH bill principal sponsor Pia Cayetano. When she rejected 4 of the amendments, the Senate decided in all 4 times to uphold Cayetano’s decision. The most contentious amendment concerned the removal of the phrase “safe and satisfying sex life” from the definition of RH.
