Philippine RH Bill Finally Passed into Law

I am highly pleased to hear this today. It has been over a decade trying to get this bill passed in my country. Now it is a reality. I'm no fan of politicians, but for this occasion, I'll say thanks to President Benigno Aquino III. Though I also want to give my thumbs up and applaud to all those people who have actively worked to make it happen. Here's the official article. I also wrote this article about it some time back, albeit, I do confess it was premature, and slightly misleading (which I do apologize), merely out of excitement of its passing on second reading (you can tell I was probably way too optimistic).

This brings back old memories. A few months ago, I was watching a propaganda video aimed at promoting the RH Bill. It's in Tagalog, with Philippines actors/actresses, though I must say I still find it quite amusing, as well as consciousness-raising. The acting was also pretty good for my taste... just an example of good old Pinoy humor addressing a very important topic:
