SUSPENSION OF SESSION The session was suspended at 4:26 p.m., upon

motion of Rep. Quimbo.

RESUMPTION OF SESSION The session resumed at 4:29 p.m.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF GUESTS Rep. Quimbo acknowledged the presence in the

Session Hall of guests of Rep. Neri J. Colmenares.

THE PRIVILEGE HOUR It being a Monday, on motion of Rep. Quimbo,

there being no objection, the Chair declared a Privilege Hour and thereafter recognized Rep. Colmenares from Party-List Bayan Muna for his privilege speech.

PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. COLMENARES

Rep. Colmenares, in commemoration of Human

Rights Day, spoke in Filipino about the rising number of cases of extrajudicial killings (EJK), enforced disappearances and various human rights violations committed during the administration of then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo; and the


failure of the present administration to prosecute and put to jail not even one of the government officials responsible for such crimes, citing the cases of former President Arroyo and General Jovito Palparan.

He then enumerated the testimonies, documents and pieces of evidence submitted by the families of the victims of human rights violations during the hearings of the Committee on Human Rights, with emphasis on the increasing number of human rights violations in Mindanao.

He thereafter acknowledged the presence in the gallery of the indigenous people of Mindanao who traveled all the way from their place to seek justice for human rights violations and senseless killings mostly by the foreign-owned mining corporations and for protection of their land and environment.

In ending, he appealed to the Members to end the

extrajudicial killings and human rights violations in the country especially in Mindanao and to put an end to this state of impunity.

REFERRAL OF REP. COLMENARES’ SPEECH


objection, the Body referred the speech of Rep. Colmenares to the appropriate Committee.



Session Hall of guests of Rep. Nur G. Jaafar.

PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. GUANLAO Recognized by the Chair, on motion of Rep.

Quimbo, Rep. Agapito H. Guanlao dwelt on the arbitrary decision of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to disqualify party-list organizations, including his Party-List Butil, to trim down the list of party-list groups that will take part in the May 2013 elections for reasons that they are not marginalized and underrepresented.

He thereafter cited the reasons why Butil should

not be disqualified which include among others the following: it was one of the 13 elected party-list organizations in the first party-list elections and has participated and won in several elections; it has filed and supported more than 150 House bills and resolutions and also the passage of the extension of the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act (AFMA), the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program Extension (CARPer) and other laws that had helped the farmers and fisherfolk. He likewise

questioned the decision of the Comelec in including other party-list groups and thereafter appealed to Congress to immediately review the Party-List Law especially the provision on the accreditation of party-list organizations.

In ending, Rep. Guanlao called on his colleagues

to fight those who attempt to preside over the death of the party-list system.

Thereafter, the Chair recognized Rep. Cresente

C. Paez for his interpellation.

INTERPELLATION OF REP. PAEZ Reps. Paez and Guanlao discussed the following:

1) the legal mandate of Comelec to review all registered party-list organizations per Resolution No. 9513; 2) the disqualification of Butil Party-List; 3) the reason why Comelec is not consistent in accrediting Party-List organizations; 4) the nominees who are not marginalized being a basis for disqualification; and 5) the cleansing of the Party-List organizations considering that many are bogus or fly-by-night organizations.

REFERRAL OF REP. GUANLAO’S SPEECH


objection, the Body referred Rep. Guanlao’s speech, as well as the interpellation of Rep. Paez, to the appropriate Committee.



Session Hall of guests of Reps. Eufranio “Franny” C. Eriguel, M.D., Victor F. Ortega, Francisco Emmanuel R. Ortega III, Kimi S. Cojuangco, Walden F. Bello, Kaka J. Bag-ao, Bernadette R. Herrera-Dy, Angelo B. Palmones, and Teddy A. Casiño.

Thereafter, on motion of Rep. Quimbo, the Chair

recognized Rep. Sigfrido R. Tinga from the Second District of Taguig City.

PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. TINGA

Rep. Tinga delved on the drug pushing charges

being resurrected against him and his father, Dante Tinga; the shabu lab raid in 2010 being connected to them; and the statements of PO3 Alexander Saes exposing to media the alleged drug recycling activities and use of double blotters to conceal the real state of criminality in Taguig. As these are part of a black propaganda against them, Rep. Tinga asked that a speedy and fair investigation be made to uncover the truth or falsity behind the allegations of PO3 Saes.


He thereafter lauded the investigations of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), saying that they should not be afraid nor be influenced by politicians. He stressed that his constituents deserve to know the truth and that the guilty be punished; and expressed hope that the issue would reach the Committee on Local Government.

REFERRAL OF REP. TINGA’S SPEECH On motion of Rep. Quimbo, there being no

objection, the Body referred Rep. Tinga’s speech to the appropriate Committee.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF GUESTS Rep. Quimbo subsequently acknowledged the

presence in the Session Hall of guests of Reps. Walden F. Bello, Kaka K. Bag-ao, Jorge “Bolet” Banal and Teddy Brawner Baguilat Jr.

On motion of Rep. Quimbo, the Chair then

recognized Rep. Bello from Party-List Akbayan.

PRIVILEGE SPEECH OF REP. BELLO Rep. Bello dwelt on the stagnation of global

climate change negotiations and on climate change-related disasters in developing countries. He said that in the 18th Conference of Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change recently held in Doha, Qatar, big polluters such as the United States and China refused to (1) reduce carbon emission and (2) provide resources for the Green Climate Fund to help other countries to adapt to climate change and cope with calamities. He stressed that in view thereof, the Philippines must protect and safeguard its natural ecosystems and implement policies for the same; and join other nations in demanding hyper-growing countries to face their responsibilities.

Thereupon, the Chair recognized Rep. Rufus B.

Rodriguez for his interpellation.

INTERPELLATION OF REP. RODRIGUEZ (R.) After joining Rep. Bello in congratulating

Philippine negotiators for their efforts in the said conference, Rep. Rodriguez (R.) asked why gas emission was increasing and what the Philippines could do about this as well as the climate fund. Initially, the former explained that some developed countries were violating or getting out of the Kyoto Protocol and that China and India have become the

biggest block to global emissions for the last 15 years resulting to a macho-type of confrontation between developed countries like the United States and the developing countries led by China.

Rep. Bello then suggested that the Philippines

should take the lead in pushing the United States and other Annex 1 countries to make serious mandatory commitments in cutting their greenhouse gas emissions and to voluntarily contribute to the climate change fund.

Thereupon, Rep. Rodriguez lauded Rep. Bello

for discussing the recent developments in Doha, Qatar in relation to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change which will extend the second commitment period to another 10 years with the hope that Annex 1 countries will cut down its greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to the climate change fund.

REFERRAL OF REP. BELLO’S SPEECH


objection, the Body referred the speech of Rep. Bello, together with the interpellation thereon, to the appropriate Committee.

TERMINATION OF THE PRIVILEGE HOUR Rep. Quimbo thereafter moved that the Body

terminate the Privilege Hour and there being no objection, the Body approved the same.

MOTION OF REP. QUIMBO

Thereupon, Rep. Quimbo moved for the

resumption of the consideration of House Bill No. 4244, as contained in Committee Report No. 664, entitled: “AN ACT PROVIDING FOR A COMPREHENSIVE POLICY ON RESPONSIBLE PARENTHOOD, REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, AND POPULATION AND DEVELOPMENT, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.”

Before the Body could act on the motion, Rep.

Rodriguez (R.) sought recognition from the Chair.

QUESTION OF QUORUM

OF REP. RODRIGUEZ (R.)

Upon recognition by the Chair, Rep. Rodriguez

inquired whether the Body has enough warm bodies to deliberate on House Bill No. 4244.



The session was suspended at 5:45 p.m., upon






Session Hall of His Eminence Ricardo Cardinal Vidal and Bishop Gabriel Reyes of the Diocese of Antipolo.

Rep. Quimbo stated that the parliamentary status

of the Bill was that it was in the period of individual amendments and on his motion, the Chair recognized Rep. Edcel C. Lagman to sponsor said House Bill.

SUSPENSION OF SESSION The session was suspended at 6:21 p.m., upon



RESUMPTION OF SESSION The session resumed at 6:22 p.m.

MANIFESTATION OF REP. RODRIGUEZ (R.)

Rep. Rodriguez manifested that they were ready

to propose individual amendments on page 4.

ANTERIOR AMENDMENT

OF REP. GARCIA (P.)

Upon recognition by the Chair, Rep. Garcia (P.)

proposed on page 4, line 1, to insert after the phrase “CONSISTENT WITH THE NEEDS OF ACCEP-TORS,” the words AND THE TENETS OR TEACH-INGS OF THEIR RELIGION.

Rep. Lagman accepted the proposed amendment.

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

OF REP. PADILLA Rep. Carlos M. Padilla inquired if the proposed

amendment was accepted on the part of the House. Deputy Speaker Tañada remarked that on the part

of the House the amendment was accepted.

ANTERIOR AMENDMENT

OF REP. RODRIGUEZ (R.) Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez proposed to delete on

line 4 (f) the phrase. “and reproductive spacing” after the words “the number of children” and the phrase “and resources available to them” on line 5 to be replaced by the words AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR RELIGIOUS CONVICTIONS.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT

OF REP. GARCIA (P.) Rep. Garcia proposed on line 3, to insert after the

word “enable,” the word MARRIED and to delete the phrase “individuals and women.” In defending his proposed amendment he said that the Bill, in recognizing sexual relationships between couples, women and adolescents, does not strengthen the family nor attach the constitutional values of marriage.

Rep. Lagman, in rejecting Rep. Garcia’s (P.)

proposal, stated that it was a repetitive amendment, an identical amendment which the former had previously proposed.

Rep. Garcia (P.) reiterated that the Bill will

encourage immoral, promiscuous relationships, people living together without the benefit of marriage. He thereafter moved for a division of the House.

REMARKS OF THE CHAIR At this point, the Chair informed the Members

that they were about to vote on the proposed amendment of Rep. Garcia (P.) which the Sponsor had rejected. An “aye” vote, he continued, would approve the amendment while a “nay” vote would deny the same.

Romualdo asked for a clarification from the Chair regarding what to be voted upon by the Body.

VIVA VOCE VOTING ON REP. GARCIA’S (P.)

PROPOSED AMENDMENT

Repeating what he had explained previously, the

Chair thereafter called for a viva voce voting on the proposed amendment of Rep. Garcia (P.) and with the majority of the Members voting against it, the same was lost.

AMENDMENT OF REP. MANDANAS

Rep. Hermilando I. Mandanas proposed to insert

on line 4, page 4, after the words “due consideration”, the phrase: IN CONSIDERATION TO EXISTING LAWS, PUBLIC MORALS, RELIGIOUS BELIEF.

He then explained that in the promotion of women’s health and the resources available to them, the existing laws, public morals and the couples’ and individual women’s religious beliefs should also be considered.

As accepted by the Sponsor, subject to style, the Body approved Rep. Mandanas’ amendment.

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

OF REP. ROMUALDO

Recognized by the Chair, Rep. Romualdo

inquired whether the Chair is one of the principal authors of the RH Bill and if so, whether he could properly dispose of any voting without siding to one or the other. With due respect to the Chair, he noted that although the “nay” votes had the greater number of voice, the result of the previous voting was that the “ayes” had won.


REPLY OF THE CHAIR In response, the Chair stated that he is not

included in the list of authors of the RH Bill.

REMARKS OF REP. GARCIA (P.) Upon recognition by the Chair, Rep. Garcia then

suggested that the Body divide the House by tellers without resorting to nominal voting to allay any doubt as to the result of the viva voce voting on the amendment. He said that Members voting in the affirmative to the amendment would have to rise and be counted and that the same procedure would be done to those voting in the negative.

The Chair cited Section 114 (2) of the House

Rules on the motion to divide the House and added that the only reason for a vote by tellers would be the presence of doubt from the Chair on the result of the viva voce voting. He however opined that he did not doubt the “nays” had won in the previous viva voce voting.


The Chair motu proprio suspended the session at

6:47 p.m.



MOTION OF REP. BAGATSING

Upon recognition by the Chair, Rep. Amado S.

Bagatsing moved that the Body adjourn the session.

OBJECTION OF REP. GARIN (J.)

Rep. Janette L. Garin objected thereto.

DIVISION OF THE HOUSE

In view thereof, the Chair called for a division of

the House.

OBJECTION OF REP. FUA

Rep. Orlando B. Fua also posed an objection as

he said that the Body could not entertain any motion during the voting; but the Chair pointed out that the

voting had already ended before the suspension of session and explained that he did not consider the subsequent appeal for a vote of tellers because he did not doubt the outcome of the “aye” and “nay” votes.

Rep. Fua then opined that the doubt of the Chair

was not absolute and cited the House Rule on voting by rising.

REMARKS OF REP. BAGATSING

Subsequently remarking that he could not see

warm bodies around to listen to the deliberations, Rep. Bagatsing suggested a Roll Call.

ROLL CALL

On motion of Rep. Garin (J.), there being no

objection, the Body proceeded to the Roll Call.
