MANILA, Philippines – Senator Gringo Honasan said he has no decision yet on the controversial Reproductive Health (RH) bill although he attended a prayer rally held against it Saturday.

Interviewed over Radyo Inquirer 990AM on Sunday, Honasan clarified that he only joined the anti-RH bill rally to find out the sentiments of those who are opposing it.

“Actually wala pa po akong decision dito sa RH bill. Ibig ko lang maging maingat tayo dito dahil ano man ang maging decision natin whether ipasa itong bill o hindi, ang epekto nito ay mararamdaman natin hindi sa darating na mga taon kundi sa darating na mga henerasyon,” he said.

“Pero ako po ang position ko dito, pro-life, ako pro-choice,” he said.

“Kaya naman po ako dumalo sa rally para maramdaman ko naman kung ano ang sentiymento noong mga tumututol sa RH bill at maraming issue na nalinawagan dun dahil hindi ito simpleng issue,” the senator added.

Honasan said the proposed bill is still pending at the Senate and he has not yet stood up on the floor to ask his questions.
