MANILA, Philippines - Malacañang yesterday encouraged the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) to a healthy debate over the reproductive health bill in Congress, but only within the bounds of law – without resorting to anything unlawful, like civil disobedience.
“This is a debate on an issue of national importance. We have different views but discussions should be within the means of the law,” Secretary Ricky Carandang stressed.
