The Grand Debate

I was searching for videos on Youtube , and found this. Last May 2011, GMA News aired and made RH Bill accessible to the public's eyes. They aired a debate regarding RH Bill.


Take some time to watch it Here

Analysis:

There are set of 3 debaters,

1st round: anti rh, cong. magsaysay vs. pro rh, cong. garin

Cong. Garin is very good in her presentation, all in all she won the debate in the 1st round. Cong. Magsaysay also made her good argument, about the funds of the government, she said the funds on education was lessen by the administration and so the ultimate solution is education and not RH BILL. It caught me, but Cong. Garin defended their side, she said that i think its normal because the other needs should also be funded, her point was, even though the government put so much funds in the education department, if the family continues to increase their family member, it cannot be resolved anyway even the government try its best.


2nd round: anti rh, bishop teodoro bacani vs. pro rh, efren tendero

Bishop Bacani of the Catholic Church seems to be funny here, because of his age, on the 1min. time that he should explain their side, he always didnt finish what he was saying, and he always smile and laugh i think because the other side is making scores, hehe Bishop efren tendero of the phil. council of evangelical churches, has a well point here, he stated that yes, it is said in the bible that god instruct ADAM AND EVE to go fourth and multiply, but its already 2011, in this country we have 90million plus filipinos, that it is also said in the bible that the family should be taken care. How could it be that if you have so many children that you cannot raise and feed them. 2nd round is for pro rh bill!

3rd round: anti rh, PROF. Racelis vs. pro rh Pia Magallona

My first impression is that Pia Magallona should not be picked because they will be lose in the 3rd round, and because the other debater is a prof. i think the prof. will win. BUT ITS NOT. Pia Magallona, even though she doesnt have such knowledge about it, she stand for it, even though her specialty is parenting. She said that it is more IMMORAL that you have children but cannot raise and feed them, she has a good argument here. On the other side Prof. Racelis, i really didnt understand what she said. hehe but i get what is her point, she was countered by her co-professor in UP, one of the pro rh panel Dr. Sylvia Caludio, that there are many of the prof. in UP and even the deans are pro rh, and so on.

The panel of pro rh were Carlos Celdran, Risa Hontiveros-Baraquel, and Dr. Sylvia Claudio. Risa Hontivers and Sylvia Claudio were very good interrogators, that's why the anti rh is always you know... hehehe Somehow the panel of anti rh were Bishop Deogracias Iñiguez Jr. and Antonio Torralba, and Dr. Deane Campo-Cruz, im sorry to say but they did not really made good arguments and CANT make good argument.
