Reproductive Health Bill Advocates have grown increasingly impatient over the delays in Congress, according to Dr. Junice Melgar, Occupy for RH spokesperson.
“There are only five session days for discussing bills remaining in Congress and our Legislators are wasting precious time by talking about boxing and conspiracy theories,” said Dr. Melgar. “These underhanded and cowardly tactics are hurting women and their families, and we will expose and protest against those who use.”
Occupy for RH is a campaign of the Reproductive Health Advocacy Network and other RH advocates to camp out at SB Park and hold daily demonstrations at the South Wing Gate of Congress calling on legislators to vote on the RH Bill within the year, was the subject of discussion at Balitaan sa Aloha Media Forum on November 30, 2011.
Among the guests were, Representatives Edcel Lagman, AKBAYAN Party List Representative Walden Bello, Kaka Bag-ao Antonio Tinio, Dr. Junice Melgar, Executive Director of Likhaan and Coordinator of of the Steering Committee of the Occupy for RH Movement and Lina Bacalando, Urban Poor Women Representative.
