WHAT LEI THINKS...

The stand of my good friend Lei on the RH Bill.

"I find this 7-week blog about the RH Bill very knowledge-, reality- and factual-based. And upon accummulated research, I will not say I am a pro or an anti; I will not take sides. I have learned that until our nation is divided by this, we will not be able to uplift each other’s lives. In one networking company, their vision is to uplift one million lives at a time. But how do they do that? They simply extend a hand to members or employees who needs help. They do not leave the ‘losers’ or the less fortunate behind. The millionaires or the well-off always look back to where they came from and that makes them humble and down to earth. And I ask myself, why can we not be like that? We are so full of words; we always want to talk and talk without walking it. We do not realize that if we prolong this fight, we are delaying the help we could give to other people. Why does the word ‘cooperate’ and ‘compromise’ does not exist in us? Why do we always have to fight for things we know we would benefit in the future? Ask yourselves why. We are becoming close-minded to everything that is happening. We are wasting the opportunity that the Senate or the House is giving us – the opportunity to help amend the laws. We are always invited to listen to the hearing of laws but what we always do is insist what we want to happen. We always fight for the wrong reasons. Why not think about building a stable future – not only for us, but also for the next generations? We, Filipinos, are known for preserving our values. But why do those people who fight for it does not seem like good models? Yes, maybe I am pertaining to the Church; but it is true, right? They are known to be God’s instruments but why do they have the guts to bash people around, to threaten them? Where is the love they should be sharing? Come on guys think. We are not in the right state to fight for this bill. Why don’t the anti tell straight to the Congress to throw that bill and amend existing laws instead. This is no time for experimentation right. We are losing lives here. We should act quick! Meanwhile, the pros should be open to this suggestion, the pros should be the one to open a good and positive dialogue about this issue for I know they have all the means to explain the bill. We should know that initiative is the key. Let’s stop insisting on each other’s principles. We are all different people, we cannot change that. We just have to keep adjusting and cope with whatever’s here right now."

My classmate Lei and I have the same stand on the RH Bill. I think that she presented facts and arguments well about her side and was able to send out the message clearly.
