News Update Trillanes questions P5B yearly fund for RH

SENATOR Antonio Trillanes IV is questioning the automatic appropriation of P5 billion yearly for reproductive health and responsible parenthood bill.

“While I am not for or against the RH bill, there is an urgent need to scrutinize very well every provision of the bill, since the Filipino people and the government could not afford the financial obligation of RH,” Trillanes said.

Trillanes admitted he is also questioning the mandatory sex education subject for preschoolers and grade schoolers.

He said this is a very sensitive issue for the youngsters to understand and good education is the best weapon to understand and appreciate the merits of the bill.
