My view on Manny's stance on RH Bill

First of all, I think Manny Pacquiao is a great boxer and possibly one of the greatest in all history. But when it comes to politics, that's a different matter. I think that he genuinely wants to help the Filipinos but he should come more prepare and learn more about what he is fighting for. When he announced that he would be running for Politics I was disappointed. I really think that it is a bad idea. But who are we to tell him what he can or can't do? Right? 


Edsel Lagman really schooled Pacquaio regarding the Reproductive health bill during the latter's interpolation. According to an interview, Pacquiao stayed up all night reading the bill. That might be a good idea if his sources are accurate. Pacquiao's questions were previously answered by Lagman during Rep. Amado Bagatsing's interpolation. And at one point, Lagman pointed out that Pacquiao's information was not accurate and if he was in the Philippines that he would know of the latest changes regarding the bill.


If Pacquiao has someone assisting him with the research, fire that someone since he didn't do a good job. And if he doesn't, he should hire someone really good. Instead  Pacquiao ended up looking like a student who came to school not ready for recitation. 


On the matter of her mother speaking her mind about the RH bill, I'm sorry but she should really mind her words. She has offended people from the pro-gay community by saying the God has created Men to be Men and that drinking pills for enlarging their breast is forbidden by God. The spokesperson of the Progressive Organization of Gays (ProGay Philippines), Goya Candelario said "With all due respect, we want Mommy Dionisia to know that we are deeply offended and scared that her words can again revive the disease model of homosexuality and transexuality in Philippine society.


This is a very sensitive and high profile bill. Pacquiao should tread carefully with this bill. I know that people are prone to making mistakes but he should choose which baor ttles he would get involved in. It was pretty embarrassing to watch Pacquaio on national televsion to go to congress unprepared. He Should really read it up next time
