BIT OF GOOD NEWS...AND THEN SOME.
MICHEAL KEON DOESN'T GO FOR THE PUREGOLD
Remember that Laoag Elementary School that was about to be demolished? Well, it wasn't. A last minute local heritage protection ordinance was passed by Ilocos Norte Governor Michael Keon and the building still stands. It hasn't been completely saved yet. An assesment and a hell of a lot work still has to be done but at least it's a step in the right direction.
And remember that irritating PRO-LIFE rally that I was worried about? Well, apparently it kinda fizzled out. My friends over at DKT (Manufacturers of Trust Condoms and Pills) - the END STOP of this "Jericho March" said that the protesters never showed up!Some notes from my friends over at
"Hi Carlos, thanks wishing all of us at FRENZY condoms well... as to the "rally"... what "rally"? I guess they din't get their required number... it just reaffirms what the surveys and studies have been telling us all along... Filipinos from all walks of life want access to modern contraceptive products (condoms, pills, injectables) and a better reproductive healthcare system for the Philippines. Be well."
"Carlos, They never showed up. but we have giant streamers at the office saying "Reproductive health saves lives" and "Yes to Reproductive Health" should they decide to come by again."

And a really interesting article in BURN magazine about teenage pregnancy in the Philippines by Lisa Wiltse.

Hola!
Just to let you know that the Burn magazine link does not work.
Lali
Here's the working link.
Interesting how the condom manufacturers are now resorting to misinformation about the pro-life rally. The reason they "never showed up" was because the authorities were so worried about the traffic they would cause should they do the Jericho March that they cancelled the permit. The rally was confined to an assembly and a Mass.
It may feel nice to delude yourselves, but that isn't really going to help you.
Ah. So that explains why you never showed up. You think they are deluding themselves? Bhhahaha. Get real. It's you guys that are imagining things.
Thank God they cancelled your permit.
Well, it seems that you don't have the effectivity you once had because nobody cared about your mass NOR rally anyway. You didn't make the papers, you didn't make the news, you didn't make it to your destination.
You didn't make an impact. So drop the issue.
Mabuhay ang RH bill!
"I" didn't make an impact? Hey, I wasn't even part of that event and never intended to be. I got my information from people who attended the rally. I'm not even an active participant in the issue. But I want to make a decision like many other people. And you know what? Your arrogant posturing and insults (and lack of any convincing arguments) sure won't bring me to your side.
Think about that next time you shoot your mouth off.
Some concerns regarding condoms:

That site above. Hli.org is ridiculous.
Catholic idiots.
If you can't convince people to believe in the Catholic faith, just outnumber them, mate.
Non-thinkers. Bah.
And insulting Catholics and their Catholic is supposed to demonstrate rational thinking? It seems YOU are the one not thinking.
This seems so typical of the RH side. Everywhere I see irrational rants and poor or illogical arguments. Rarely do you find a pro-RH bill person who can discuss the issue calmly and logically. It seems all they are good at is attacking persons they disagree with.
And to think this bill is claimed to be about informed choice. No one gets informed with these childish rants.
Children, behave. And start using names already.
