Manny Pacquiao and the RH Bill

If you are Filipino, a boxing fan, a Manny Pacquiao fan, or into the pro-life/pro-abortion debates, chances are you know that Manny Pacquiao and his family are the talk of the town in the Philippines.   No, its not because he defeated a fleeing Sugar Shane Mosley in a unanimous decision ages ago, its because of the pro-life/anti-life debate started by the Catholic Church against the Reproductive Health Bill.

Apparently, someone convinced Manny that the RH Bill is anti-life and he should be the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) poster boy for the anti-RH movement.

But the funny thing is, Pacquiao's wife, Jinkee, admitted that she used contraceptives and whats more, in a press conference with the Bishops, he wore a purple tie (which is the color of the pro-RH bill movement) in the event.  Guess who prepared the tie?  Mrs. Pacquaio! No, not Mommy Dionisia!   It was Jinkee again!

The irony of it all!
