The Reproductive Health (RH) bill got lashed with prayers as thousands members of a Catholic charismatic group flocked at Amvel City compound in Parañaque City last Saturday.
The Prayer Vigil for the Nascent of Human Life was organized by El Shaddai to call upon all pro-life advocates in support of junking the RH bill.
The source said an estimate of 100,000 to 200,000 attended the event.
El Shaddai, together with the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) and other pro-life groups, has had a hardline stance against the use and promotion of artificial family planning as espoused by the RH bill.
Brother Mike Velarde, as well as the charismatic group’s leaders, had educated his members about the issue through preaching in prayer meetings and fellowships.
He discussed the negative implications and disadvantages of the bill to the members of his group. While taking charge of the spiritual, Velarde’s son Rep. Rene Velarde of BUHAY party-list opposed the bill in the political arena.
According to the source, members of El Shaddai vehemently fight against a policy of population control because it is contrary to the Word of God.
Asked as to why she stands against the bill, El Shaddai member Winnie Bicoy said that “it is clear as daylight that killing is forbidden by God. God did not have a commandment that says abort the children. The bill will destroy the family, and consequently, society as a whole.”
Also a member of the religious group, Tesdy Alberos said that “the bill must not be passed because it violates the sanctity of human life.” –Roberto Sangil, Daily Tribune
