MANILA — Malacañang confirmed Saturday that President Benigno Aquino III had signed into law Republic Act (RA) 10354 or the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012.
In a statement, deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said the President signed the new reproductive health law last Dec. 21.
Valte, in an interview over dzRB Radyo ng Bayan, said that with the President’s action, the government and civil society organizations can now move forward for greater cooperation.
“The passage into law of the Responsible Parenthood Act closes a highly divisive chapter of our history—a chapter borne of the convictions of those who argued for, or against this Act, whether in the legislative branch or in civil society,” she said.
“At the same time, it opens the possibility of cooperation and reconciliation among different sectors in society: engagement and dialogue characterized not by animosity, but by our collective desire to better the welfare of the Filipino people,” she added.
This kind of engagement and dialogue is the hallmark of a true democracy, Valte said noting that this encourages people to debate through deeply-held beliefs and values that enrich and elevate public discourse.
Whatever the disagreements, people must work together to find ways to improve the lives of Filipinos, she said.
Asked by reporters how the administration intends to reach out to the Catholic Church after the approval of the bill, Valte said that both sides can cooperate on many other areas.
“While the Responsible Parenthood Bill may have been a very contentious issue between government and civil society and other sectors, there are so many areas that we can move forward on; we have many other areas of cooperation that are possible for us to be partners in, particularly environment and other advocacies,” she said.
The Palace official also fended off accusations that the bill was signed by the President in secrecy. The President signed it on Dec. 21 because he has engagements to attend to after Christmas and he wanted to make sure that he approves it before the year ends, Valte said.
The President also signed other legislations aside from Republic Act 10354, which also been released to the media, she added.
The Palace confirmation came two days after micro-blogging site, Twitter, was abuzz with reaction over the supposed signing of the RH bill into law.
On Friday night, a close ally of President Aquino confirmed that the RH bill had been signed last Dec. 21, just two days after the bicameral conference committee report was ratified in the Senate and the House of Representatives.
In a text message to reporters, House Majority Leader Neptali Gonzales II said: “PNoy (Aquino) signed into law without fanfare the RH Republic Act last Friday Dec. 21. RH is now Republic Act 10354.”
One of the main authors, Senior Deputy Majority Leader and Rep. Janette Garin (Iloilo), said it was Aquino himself who requested for a non-ceremonious signing of the RH Lw.
“We agreed with his call for early reconciliation for the sake of the nation and the Christmas spirit. Ceremonies are not that important. What is important is our government’s political will to implement pro-poor and pro-people measures,” Garin said in a text message.
Albay Representative Edcel Lagman, also one of the authors, said the RA 10354 was signed in the privacy of Aquino’s study room in order “not to exacerbate” the conflict with Catholic Church leaders.
“Women worldwide who have been anticipating the enactment of an RH law in the Philippines rejoice with the vast majority of Filipinos in celebrating the elevation of the bill into a statute,” Lagman said.
Valte, meanwhile, allayed fears that the new law would compel families to use artificial contraceptives and that it would require families to set a particular number of children. She said the government will post the copies of the law on the Internet so that the public can look at its provisions.
Also she clarified that the fund for natural family planning centers will be separate from the allocation intended for artificial family planning methods given to health centers.
The Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012, has already been published online in the Official Gazette, after having been signed by Aquino on Dec. 21, 2012.
The law will take effect 15 days after its publication in at least two newspapers of general circulation. (Kathrina Alvarez/SDR/Sunnex)

Villagers displaced by Typhoon “Pablo” in two towns in Davao Oriental, one of the worst hit provinces, will be displaced again from Mati National High School here as education officials want the school emptied of at least 158 evacuees by today to prepare the school for the resumption of classes on Jan. 2.
It leaves Rodelo Aporbo, his wife and two children wondering where to go next after staying in the school for the last 20 days.
Social welfare workers had listed two options for the evacuees—return to their devastated hometowns in Cateel and Baganga or move to another evacuation center that has not been identified yet.
If they opt to return home, the government promised to give them tents, work and six months’ worth of food ration.
Aporbo, however, is not convinced. He wants to stay. “We cannot go back there. There is nothing there for us,” he told the Inquirer.
Aporbo’s home is the village of Poo in Baganga town where he said “it is so hot that the children get sick.”
Poo is a 14-hectare islet. At least seven of its 500 residents were killed when Pablo struck on Dec. 4. Most of its residents have either evacuated to the mainland or to Mati City.
“There are no trees there. There are no shades. The children are ill with cough and colds,” said Aporbo. “If we go back there, the more we will suffer,” he added.
Luzviminda Verba, another evacuee, feels the same. Her house in the village of Kinabalangan is now upside down, torn from its lot by the storm.
While willing to return to her village, Verba said it was not yet time. “The water there is not safe for drinking,” she said.
Aporbo said he felt uneasy over the government’s promise to provide food for six months. “After six months, what?” he said.
“Our livelihood is fishing. We cannot be forever eating noodles and canned sardines,” he said.
Aporbo and residents of Poo lost their boats during the storm.
Sister Badette Dollete, directress of Ad Jesum Development Foundation, said the evacuees could stay at the foundation’s seminar house, which has 150 beds, “only until the provincial government has found a place for them.”
“They are pitiful,” said the nun. “What a timing to make them leave the schools.”

CATHOLIC Church officials on Sunday appealed to people who like to welcome the New Year with firecrackers to refrain from doing it near churches so as not to disrupt ongoing masses.
“Sana kapag nagpaputok medyo malayo sa simbahan lalo na kapag may misa…hindi mo tuloy marining ano sinasabi sa Mass,” said Monsignor Pepe Quitorio, media office chief of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).
On the other hand, Father Melvin Castro, executive secretary of the CBCP Episcopal Commission on Family and Life, said the mass in his parish will start at 9 p.m. on December 31 for the protection of the parishioners.
“Kami sa Tarlac hindi kami nagsecelebarte ng midnight mass takot kasi kami for the security of the faithful na baka abutan sila sa daan, so kami ‘yung misa namin ginagwa much early mga 9 pm so by 10:30 pm tapos na misa nakauwi na cla kasi usually pagtungtong 11 pm dun na ‘yung putukan e,” he added.
With this, he urged the public to only use horns instead of fireworks.
On “gangnam dance” earlier introduced by the Department of Health (DOH) as alternative to welcome the New Year, the CBCP official said the public would still want to make noise than just dance.
“Parte na kasi ng culture is to make noise. Naabutan ko nung araw ‘yung mga kawali pinapatunog ko kasi ang paniniwala pa nila noon dadami ‘yung iluluto mo kapag kawali ‘yung iniingay mo,” he added.
Gangnam style is a dance popularized by Korean singer Psy.
According to the DOH, the number of fireworks injuries rose to over 160 as of Saturday.
DOH Undersecretary Teodoro Herbosa said these number so far is lower than the same period last year.
Herbosa together with the officials of the Philippine National Police, Interior and Local Government, and the Bureau of Fire Protection, briefed President Benigno Aquino III in Malacanang regarding the preparations and security measures for the coming New Year celebration.
He said firework-related injuries are being reported daily by 50 hospitals through online to the DOH since December 21. They will come up with the final tally on January 5.
“Most of the injuries are still due to fireworks and firecrackers, next are from stray bullets and then ingestion,” Herbosa said adding that majority is in the six to 10 age group.
“Those affected shifts to the older age groups during the New Yea’s Eve and New Year’s Day based on our historical data. Before New Year’s Eve it’s mostly children but during New Year’s Eve and the New Year, just like in previous years, it will be more adults rather than the six to 10 (aged children),” he noted.
He said the officials of the DOH will continue to make rounds in several hospitals in Manila on New Year’s eve to ensure that necessary services are in place.
Meanwhile, Senator Loren Legarda said these are unnecessary injuries which could be prevented if everyone will raise awareness on how firecrackers are not the safest way of celebrating the New Year.
The toxic fumes produced by firecrackers can cause ailments, while a number of cases have been reported of ingestion, especially by children, of poisonous firecrackers.
Legarda said chemicals used in producing firecrackers and sparklers also contaminate the soil and could leach into the water table, compromising the safety of potable water.
“This is certainly not the way we want to herald 2013,” she said. (Virgil Lopez/Jill Beltran/FP/Sunnex)

Attention gamblers: Sunday, Rizal Day, is not only a nonworking holiday but also a gambling holiday.
Malacañang has found an old, little-known law that prohibits gambling on Dec. 30, Rizal Day.
Republic Act No. 229 specifically prohibits cockfighting, horse racing and jai alai on Rizal Day.
RA 229 was signed on June 9, 1948, by President Elpidio Quirino, the second President of the Third Philippine Republic (post-World War II).
The Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office (PCDSPO) discovered a copy of the archaic law and uploaded the text to the online Official Gazette (pcdspo.gov.ph). It also posted a link on its Twitter account ahead of Sunday’s Rizal Day rites.
The PCDSPO is headed by Secretary Ricky Carandang, with Undersecretary Manuel “Manolo” Quezon III.

Still valid
In separate interviews on Saturday, presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda and deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte confirmed that the law is still valid.
“Yes, it is still in effect. We verified with the National Historical Commission of the Philippines,” Lacierda said in a text message.
And although Sunday is a holiday, penalties still apply.
Cockfighting, horse racing and jai alai aficionados caught betting in these games will be fined P200 or imprisoned for six months or both.
If the offenders are town and chartered city mayors, they will be suspended for six months in addition to the fine.
The law does not explain why it singles out mayors. But neither does it say that higher officials are exempt.
Flags at half-staff
RA 229 also orders the flying of the national flag at half-staff in all public buildings and at half-mast on seagoing vessels on Rizal Day.
So will President Aquino, who leads Sunday’s Rizal Day rites at Luneta Park, raise the flag to just halfway up the pole in front of the Rizal Monument?
That is interesting, because last year, the President, assisted by Cabinet officials, sent the flag all the way to the top. And the flag flew at full-staff anywhere in the country.
The law also mandates the creation of a committee to take charge of the proper celebration of Rizal Day in every municipality and chartered city in the country.
Lotto excluded
Interviewed by Radyo ng Bayan, Valte explained that the “legal forms” of games of chance are prohibited on Rizal Day.
“Surprisingly, there are a lot of people [who] did not know about that particular law,” she said.
Valte said the PCDSPO had produced an “infographic” of RA 229 to remind the public about the law, “especially now that you have an office which is really concerned about giving people a sense of history and making it very hip and very current.”
Asked whether the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office’s lotto games would be drawn Sunday, Valte said the lotto, a legal game of chance, did not exist at the time of the law’s enactment.
That explains why lotto betting stations sold tickets Saturday for Sunday’s games.

Free MRT, LRT rides
And, as in previous years, the government will not collect fares from commuters on the Metro Rail Transit and Light Rail Transit.
