Suspension of session wherein the sponsorship of the RH bill was scheduled is a fortuitous delay due to a glitch in the airconditioning system of the HOR

Press Statements

 

           The suspension of today’s plenary session wherein the sponsorship of the RH bill was scheduled is a fortuitous delay due to a glitch in the airconditioning system of the House of Representatives.

           This coincidence reinforces our advocacy and resolve to pursue the enactment of the reproductive health bill in order that pregnancy and development should not be left to the contingency of accidental events.

            This temporary setback of only one day should spur RH advocates to continue surmounting all supervening obstacles.

           Let us take heed of Einstein’s assertion that “in the middle of difficulty lies opportunity” and Leonardo da Vinci’s statement that “obstacles cannot crush me, every obstacle yields to stern resolve.”

           Starting today, let us light candles for 11 mothers who die daily of complications from pregnancy and childbirth until the RH bill becomes a law.
