President Aquino explains omission of the RH Bill from his July 25, 2011 SONA

In an interview with Jessica Soho of GMA News, Philippine President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III explains the absence of any mention of the controversial Reproductive Health (RH) Bill in his State of the Nation Address delivered to Congress on the 25th July 2011:

"I met with the group of legislators from Congress who are adherents of the RH bill. They tell me that they will be able to get it to a vote if not the third, by the fourth quarter. They’re confident of their numbers that it will pass. So if I mention [the] RH [Bill], what does it actually help?" My mentioning it might further galvanise to action those who are against it and make the process even more divisive. So, will there be a benefit to anyone if either proponents or opponents of the Bill continue to discuss it, when we're already at a stage where the debate has pretty much already been concluded? So [...] the advocates have won, why then do we need to rub it in?

The part in italics was translated from the original transcript published in GMANews.tv (excerpted below)...
Yung mga against it naman lalo kong iga-galvanize into action, to make the process even more divisive. At anong pakinabang ninuman na yung proponents or the antagonist of the bill to discuss it when it’s already, parang we’re almost at the stage na tapos na yung debate. So again beside sa, kunwari pwedeng tignan ng iba, nanalo na yung advocates tapos yung paano ba sa Tagalog na iduduldulan mo pa na talo kayo, paano tatanggap?

  1. SEX IS NOT ONLY ABOUT REPRODUCTION/PROCREATION OR CO-CREATION BUT BODY'S BIOLOGICAL NEEDS, THUS BODY SHOULD COMPLY.

    ANYWAY, CONTROL CAN BE EASIER IF SEX/SEXUAL INTERCOURSE IF MAN AND WOMAN'S MIND IS CONDITIONED/AS EDUCATED TO BE FOR REPRODUCTION I.E GOD'S DESIGN OF PROCREATION/CO-CREATION BECAUSE ONE WILL CERTAINLY BE DOING THE ACT CONSCIOUS OF THE CONSEQUENCE IT WOULD BEAR NAMELY PREGNANCY. MEANING, IF BOTH MAN AND WOMAN IS IN THIS UNDERSTANDING, THEN IT WOULD BE EASIER FOR THEM TO REFRAIN FROM SEX IN AN UNSAFE PERIODS IF THEY DO NOT WANT PREGNANCY.

    IT'S DIFFERENT WHEN THIS IS REDUCED TO BIOLOGICAL NEEDS COMPLIANCE AS IN ONE IS COMPELLED TO DO SEXUAL INTERCOURSE OR SOMETHING WOULD HAPPENED. BALIKTAD NO? AVOID PREGNANCY THRU NATURAL MEANS PARANG WALA YATANG DAPAT KATAKUTAN HAL. SIDE EFFECT DAHIL ANO NGA BANG MAARING SIDE EFFECT DON E NATURAL NGA ANG GAMIT. MAS MAARI PA YATANG MI SIDE EFFECT YONG GUMAMIT KAYO NG CONTRACEPTIVE MEDICINES.

    SABAGAY, HIRAP TALAGANG KONTROLIN SEXUAL DESIRE-SARAP, PLEASURE DULOT NON E, PLASTIK NYO KAYA KUNG SABIHIN NYONG KAILANGAN NG SEX ANG KATAWAN KAYA SEX LANG NANG SEX.

    SORI FOR CHRISTIANS BY HEARTS AND MINDS, TALO TALAGA ANG ETHICS NI CHRIST, THE ETHICS OF SUFFERINGS, THE ETHICS OF SACRIFICE, KONTROL ON SEX NGA LANG AYAW NA NG TAO, SACRIFICE AND SUFFERINGS PA KAYA. MAS POWERFUL KASI ANG ETHICS NI SATANAS, SARAP/PLEASURE, CONVENIENCE, COMFORT WHY CONTROL, MAY PILLS, MAY CONDOM ATBP.

    WHAT NEXT? TAPOS NA RHB! DEBATING UNIVERSAL RIGHTS NAMAN? THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE LIFE PARTNER, THE RIGHT TO SEEK PARTNER WE LOVE, THE RIGHT TO ASK MATRIMONIAL BLESSINGS FOR MAN-MAN, WOMAN-WOMAN "IN LOVE?"

    NATURE..GOD'S DESIGN..GOD'S DIVINE PROVIDENCE..ORDER OF ALL THINGS ACCORDING TO ITS PROPER END/PURPOSE..IS THIS WRONG?
    IS MAN - WOMAN, WOMAN - MAN A CORRECT ORDER?

    WHAT NEXT?

    P-NOY, FROM NOT A RELIGIOUS BUT KNOWN TO BE A VERY RELIGIOUS FAMILY KNOW AND UNDERSTAND SO WELL THE MESSAGE OF THIS. IS RELIGIOUSITY BLINDED ALREADY WITH APPREHENSION OF BEING TAGGED AS POOR OF REASONING OR FEAR OF THOSE POWERFUL,BEHIND THE CURTAIN?

    WHAT NEXT? DIVORCE, IT'S IN THE OFFING NOW! SAME SEX MARRIAGE?

    IKA NGA SA MGA BATA (PERO MATATALINO) 'PINAS/PINOY, GAYA-GAYA, GAYOY-GAYOY AHOY!
