That is an amusing take on what really transpired last week in the Philippine Congress when Congressman Manny Pacquiao took the mic and start questioning Congressman Edcel Lagman, who is the chief sponsor of the controversial Reproductive Health Bill (RH Bill).
In the course of questioning, Congressman Pacquiao asked Edcel Lagman about certain provisions in the RH Bill such as the mandatory sex education, the mandatory giving of “reproductive health services” to employees by employers, and other foul provisions of the RH Bill.
Edcel Lagman insisted that all those provisions were already amended.
The real punch came to Lagman when Manny Pacquao told him that the Period of Amendments follows the Period of Interpellation. Congressman Pacquiao asked when did the amendments were adopted in the current version of the RH Bill. He also asked what House Rules did Lagman used to effect the alleged amendments. Edcel Lagman had no answer.
It is frustrating to see the mainstream media picture Pacquiao as a person that who don't know what he is doing. Seems like his anti-RH stance placed him under the fire of these biased media establishments like GMA 7 and ABS-CBN and these media entities keep on ridiculing and making fun of him.
Why is the media silent about the false claim of Edcel Lagman that amendments were already placed in HB 4244? If GMA 7 and ABS-CBN are really unbiased and the bearer of truth then why they don't expose this lie of Lagman?
Congressman Manny Pacquiao is a serious sportsman and it showed in all his victories inside the boxing ring. It seems like Congressman Manny Pacquiao is applying the same diligence in his stint as a legislator and the representative of his constituents in Sarangani.
Manny Pacquiao is serious and smart and the pro-RH camp is hating that fact.
