HIGHLIGHTS: #RHbill at the Senate

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 13, Senate Majority Leader Vicente “Tito” Sotto III will avail himself of a rarity in the legislative process as part of his crusade against Senate Bill 2865 or the Reproductive Health Act of 2011. Sotto will deliver a so-called “turno en contra” speech that he bills as an exposé.
