  • 'Sin' Tax Bill up for Crucial Vote
    Headline ‘Sin’ tax bill up for crucial vote MediaTitle Manila Standard Philippines (www.thestandard.com.ph) Date 03 Jun 2019 Section NEWS Order Rank 6 Language English Journalist N/A Frequency Daily ‘Sin’ tax bill up for crucial vote Advocates of a law raising taxes on cigarettes worried that heavy lobbying by tobacco companies over the weekend could affect the vote in the Senate Monday. Former Philhealth director Anthony Leachon and UP College of Medicine faculty member Antonio Dans said a failure of the bill to pass muster would deprive the government’s Universal Health Care program of funding. “Definitely, the lobbying can affect how our senators will behave... how they will vote,” said Leachon, also chairman of the Council of Past Presidents of the Philippine College of Physicians. But Leachon and Dans said they remained confident that senators who supported the sin tax law in 2012 would support the new round of increases on cigarette taxes. These were Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon, Senators Panfilo Lacson, Francis Pangilinan, Antonio Trillanes IV and re-elected Senator Aquilino Pimentel III. They are also hopeful that the incumbent senators who voted against the increase in the excise taxes on cigarettes in 2012—Senate President Vicente Sotto III, Senate Pro Tempore Ralph Rectp and outgoing Senators Francis Escudero and Gregorio Honasan—would have a change of heart. While Pimentel, who ran in the last midterm elections, supported the increase in tobacco taxes in 2012, he did not sign Senator Juan Edgardo Angara’s committee report, saying the bill should be properly scrutinized as it might result in the death of the tobacco industry.

  • Reproductive Health Bill
    Reproductive Health Bill From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Intrauterine device (IUD): The Reproductive Health Bill provides for universal distribution of family planning devices, and its enforcement. The Reproductive Health bills, popularly known as the RH Bill , are Philippine bills aiming to guarantee universal access to methods and information on birth control and maternal care. The bills have become the center of a contentious national debate. There are presently two bills with the same goals: House Bill No. 4244 or An Act Providing for a Comprehensive Policy on Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health, and Population and Development, and For Other Purposes introduced by Albay 1st district Representative Edcel Lagman, and Senate Bill No. 2378 or An Act Providing For a National Policy on Reproductive Health and Population and Development introduced by Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago. While there is general agreement about its provisions on maternal and child health, there is great debate on its key proposal that the Philippine government and the private sector will fund and undertake widespread distribution of family planning devices such as condoms, birth control pills(BCPs) and IUDs, as the government continues to disseminate information on their use through all health care centers. The bill is highly divisive, with experts, academics, religious institutions, and major political figures supporting and opposing it, often criticizing the government and each other in the process. Debates and rallies for and against the bill, with tens of thousand participating, have been happening all over the country. Background The first time the Reproductive Health Bill was proposed was in 1998. During the present 15th Congress, the RH Bills filed are those authored by (1) House Minority Leader Edcel Lagman of Albay, HB 96; (2) Iloilo Rep.

ABSTRACT USING FORCE TO GAIN VOICE: THE PROSPECTS AND LIMITS OF USING COERCIVE MECHANISMS TO SECURE DELIBERATIVE INCLUSION This thesis analyses the impact of marginalised groups using coercive mechanisms as a strategy for deliberative inclusion. It engages the literature on deliberative democratic theory that makes a case for using non-linguistic mechanisms to gain entry to exclusionary deliberative forums. This research explores its limits through a linguistic-based microanalysis of an ―extreme‖ case where marginalised political agents employed threats of force – the apparent antithesis of deliberation – in an attempt to secure inclusion. The case is that of a military mutiny in the Philippines in 2003, where a group of junior officers took over the central business district to publicly air their demands for reform to the military.

  • The Familiar Senate
    CongressWatch Report No. 175 Report No. 175 11 April 2013 Part 2 of the 2013 Election Series of CongressWatch The familiar Senate The political dynamics in the Senate often differs from the House of Representatives, particularly on the issues of the national budget and on the proposed amendments to the Constitution. They also have a different take on key measures—the reproductive health law and the law restructur- ing excise taxes of alcohol and tobacco products, based on their vote records (yes-no-abstain): Responsible Parenthood Restructuring the excise taxes of and Reproductive Health alcohol and tobacco products Act House of Representatives HB 4244: 133-79-7 HB 5727: 210-21-5 Senate SB 2865: 13-8-0 SB 3299: 10-9-0 The Senate is also different in the elections since only 12 of the 24 slots are up for grabs every na- tional election. Each senator has a six-year term and is eligible for re-election, not exceeding two consecutive terms. Unlike in the House of Representatives, the Senate, as an institution, is not completely dissolved in-between elections. According to the Senate website, “the purpose of the continuity of the life of the Senate is intended to encourage the maintenance of policies as well as guarantee that there will be experienced members who can help and train newcomers in the discharge of their duties.” However, at least in the last two elections, veterans and familiar faces made up the Senate roll. This is where the senatorial contest runs similar to those in the legislative districts or even in other elective posts—incumbent and returning officials have had the upper hand.

MILITIA ABUSES IN THE PHILIPPINES* James D. Ross** I. Introduction Under the administration of President Corazon Aquino, Philippine military, police and paramilitary personnel have committed numerous and widespread violations of human rights, including politically-motivated acts of murder and attempted murder, torture and rape. This paper examines one facet of this situation, namely, human rights violations by the Citizen Armed Force Geographical Units (CAFGU), a militia force. Deployed largely since late 1988, the CAFGU is a militia formally attached to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). Under government regulations, CAFGU members are recruited, trained and supervised by regular military personnel and subject to the military code. The CAFGU was instituted to replace the discredited Civilian Home Defense Force, an abusive militia organized by President Marcos.
