Ipinagtanggol ng actress-TV host na si Ciara Sotto ang kanyang ama na si Senador Tito Sotto, matapos ang emosyunal na talumpati ng comedian-turned-senator sa sesyon ng Senado kahapon, Agosto 13.

Ito ay kaugnay ng pagtutol ni Senator Sotto sa isinusulong na RH Bill—o Reproductive Health and Population and Development Act of 2010—sa Kongreso.

Ayon kay Senator Sotto, pumanaw ang dapat sana'y panganay niyang anak na lalaki dahil sa paggamit diumano ng contraceptives ng kanyang asawa, ang beteranang aktres na si Helen Gamboa.

Sinusuportahan ng RH Bill ang paggamit ng contraceptive methods upang malimitahan ang pagbubuntis ng mga mag-asawa.

Sa kuwento ni Senator Sotto, pagkatapos maisilang ni Helen ang kanilang panganay na anak na si Apples noong 1973, pinayuhan sila ng kanilang kaibigang doktor na gumamit ng contraceptive.

Abala daw noon si Helen sa kanyang showbiz career.

Makalipas ng isang taong paggamit ng contraceptive ay nabuntis muli si Helen.

Isinilang ng actress-singer ang kanilang pangalawang anak, isang lalaki, noong Marso 13, 1975—si Vincent Paul.

Sinabi raw ng mga doktor mula sa Makati Medical Center na mahina ang puso ng sanggol kaya kinailangan nitong sumailalim sa blood transfusion halos araw-araw.

Sabi ng senador, “The Makati Medical Center can prove to the fact na wala silang makita na dahilan kung bakit nagkaganun 'yong bata kundi dahil nagko-contraceptives 'yong asawa ko.

“Nabuntis pa rin kahit na gumagamit ng contraceptives.”

Limang buwan lamang nabuhay si Vincent Paul dahil pumanaw ito noong Agosto 13, 1975.

“He was born but he never left the hospital,” pag-alala ng senador.

“The Makati Medical Center said he died because my wife used contraceptives.

"Even her doctor admits to the fact, Dra. Enverga Santos.”

    Sorry to be rude but this family needs to shut their pea brains out. Seriously!? your dad is a SENATOR! He should have known better than to plagiarize! And you know what the sad part is? He obviously knew how wrong he was but instead of apologizing, he insisted that he was right! WOW and you call him "maprinsipyo?" Come on now! Ciara, be smart and only say things that is right!

    ewan ko ba kung bakit kailangan pa ng mga nakatira sa estero at ilalim ng tulay ang RH Bill or contraceptives eh yun pa lang kalagayan nila sapat na para hindi nila maisip mag procreate.

    Paiyak-iyak pa. Where does he think he was? Doing drama in a teleserye? This is what you get folks when you vote for celebrities who do not deserve their positions in politics.

    does your dad really have to selfishly deny options to millions because he is personally against it? do you think it helps to ignore overpopulation? are the two of you fine with swarms of poverty-stricken kids? look around around you and wake up.

    OMG! Tito Sotto doesn't even know what the RH bill is. Using contraceptive pills is just a PART of it. When you take the pills, you MUST go to the doctor for regular check-ups. The pills MUST not be an over the counter drugs. It must be regulated and only by prescription. That is what the RH is for. It also takes care of the REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH of the women who do not have money to go to the doctor for check-ups whether it is for controlling the population, pap smear, ovarian check, etc.

    My husband and I practiced natural birth control after I had my second child. It was not easy but we had our third and last child after four years. Because of the exploding population in the Philippines and the stark poverty around,couples should plan having less children whether RH Bill is passed or not. Responsible parenthood should prevail.

    It's about time that our kababayan should be educated about the advantage of the RH bill. Dapat bawat baranggay ay magumpisa nang turuan ang mga tao sa pamamagitan ng isa or dalawang araw na parang pagtitipon upang ipakita ang kahalagahan ng responsible parenthood. Hindi sa habang panahon ay darating ang tulong galing sa ibang bansa o sa ating mga kababayan na nakakariwasa.

    It is one thing for us to have has-been actors in the senate but another for these actors to take drama, the dazzle and sentiments into making the new laws in our land. Really, who voted for this man?
