CATHOLICS, many of them young people, reaffirmed their stand against the controversial reproductive health (RH) bill during the annual pilgrimage on Mount Samat in Bataan last Saturday, Nov. 26.

Jerome Tuazon, a senior high school student, was one of the marshals who gathered signatures for the anti-RH bill campaign.

In our school, Tuazon said, we also had a signature campaign for the RH bill.

He said as Christians, people must follow the teachings of the Church about the issue. “In my own opinion, RH bill kills.”

Tuazon said that as a blogger, he always checks the news and as of now, the bill is still a hot topic among bloggers.

“It’s a difficult time for us, especially to the youth. If the bill is approved, the values we are teaching like purity, chastity, all of those will be disregarded. The values of the youth will change,” said Fr. Joshua Santos, MMHC, youth director of the diocese of Bataan.
