RH Bill and corruption

READERS' VIEWS - Marlon G. Magdadaro, AB Pol Sci University of the Visayas - The Philippine Star

I am quite befuddled at the notion that one of the reasons why we should not pass the RH Bill into law is because it is riddled with corruption, as if all government projects and programs, either pending or implemented, are free from it. If corruption is the problem then we should get rid of it, instead of making a substantially reasonable and timely proposition to pay for corruption’s own blunder and our acquiesced inability to remedy it.

Also, the RH Bill does not mandate nor oblige nor compel nor command everybody to absolutely adhere to it should it be passed into law. Those who are against it are free not to avail for any of its provision and it would not incriminate any one if he chooses to have a big family.

The righteous will still be righteous, if not even leveling up their righteousness for staying true to their convictions and not being tempted to defile the sacredness of their righteousness in the face of pure evil that is the RH Bill, or the then would-be RH Law. Such is the reason why God has given man free will. A chance to prove the strength of the righteous’ faith.

The government is tasked to promote not the general welfare but the common good of every citizen. General welfare has been replaced with common good in order to prevent the tyranny of the majority. That rights of persons who belong in the minority must not be compromised if only to allow the whims of the majority, especially if the latter is composed mostly of close-minded fanatic bigots.
