RH Cheers for the #RHBill

And so, finally, after too many years, the "ayes" have it!!!

For supporters of the Reproductive Health Bill (me, personally, for 3 Congresses now), hearing the gavel banged for the passage of the RH Bill was such a sweet victory.

"House Bill 4244 (An Act Providing for a Comprehensive Policy on Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population and Development) won with a slim margin of 113-104 vote, the first time it advanced to the second reading since it was first filed more than 15 years ago." - source

2nd Reading approval is as good as passed. And we have the numbers in the Senate already.

Of course, we had to celebrate!

Cheers!
