As number of new HIV/AIDS cases zooms to 1,098 - highest since 1984
 
I respectfully urge the Committee on Health to urgently tackle all the pending bills on HIV-AIDS and convene hearings on them.  The Senate already has a consolidated version and it is waiting for the House counterpart measure.
 
As soon as the House hammers out a consolidated bill on HIV policy, I will formally urge President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to certify it as urgent, so the two bills can move even faster and more likely become law before Congress goes on recess on December 16.
 
It is no longer necessary for me to file another bill to add to the ones already filed. My colleagues have crafted good proposed measures. I prefer to fine-tune them when it is deliberated at committee and during plenary.
 
As of latest count there are 16 bills in the Committee on Health and two more on discrimination against persons with HIV pending before the Committee on Human Rights.
 
I am in consultation with concerned stakeholders and will present my suggestions at the proper time, so that the consolidated bill we produce will address the crucial issues facing us about arresting the surge of HIV nationwide and across all age groups, especially among the millennials.
 
The latest statistics on HIV in our country have become even more frightening. Congress must act fast to give the Department of Health and other concerned sectors the means and resources to fight HIV-AIDS now.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
