Manny Pacquiao and the pro-RH Contempt Brigade
Published in Business Mirror on May 20, 2011:
Lourdes M. Fernandez
Wednesday night’s debate between Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao and reproductive-health (RH) bill chief author Edcel Lagman has gotten not a few usual “experts” brimming with contempt as they assessed the young boxing icon’s performance on the floor, scoffing at his presumptuousness that he could take on a veritable “lion” in Congress.
“Like a robot.” “Questions were scripted.” “He repeated some questions” were some of the remarks reporters got from those they interviewed for reactions right after the session was adjourned on Wednesday night—a discourse that, fortunately enough, turned out to be quite civil, a rebuke to those who predicted histrionics and blood.

In defense of Manny Pacquiao

Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago always has a mouthful to say, but none perhaps as distasteful as when she said that Manny Pacquiao should not enter into the ring of the RH debates. That was classic intellectual arrogance. Adding to the fray was media’s suspicion that Pacquiao was cornered by the bishops into defending their stance against the RH bill.
Both are farthest from the truth.

Manny Pacquiao's reverence for life
BY MINYONG ORDOÑEZ
I THANK Manny Pacquiao for fighting for the life of the unborn. With Lea Salonga on the opposing side, Manny is heaven sent.
Manny didn’t pore over Humanae Vitae or Blessed John Paul II’s Theology of the Body. Nor does he possess the erudition of our famous Jesuit theologian Fr. Catalino Arevalo, S.J., or the brilliance of Fr. Joaquin Bernas, S.J., priest-lawyer, constitutionalist, and columnist who can rationalize the nuanced provisions of the controversial (Reproductive Health) RH Birth Control Bill.
What Manny brings to life is his primeval instinct. A reverence for life that’s divine-authored. A primeval instinct which Pope Benedict XVI asserts as “written in the hearts of man.” Manny lives it.
Manny Pacquiao and Lea Salonga are two of our one-in-a-million iconic symbols of pride in the Filipino race. Both make good copy. But look how different their attitudes in life are.
