In line with its continuing advocacy to present the most pressing issues of the day, GMA News TV is mounting “Reproductive Health (RH) Bill: The Grand Debate”.

Representatives from the government, religious groups and the women’s sector gather for an impassioned debate on the controversial House Bill Number 4244 or the “Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population Development Act of 2011″, otherwise known as the Reproductive Health (RH) Bill.

Pitting lawmakers versus lawmakers, women versus women and church versus church, the debate will present and tackle the pros and cons of the RH Bill with representatives from opposing camps defending their side on every motion. The special aims to educate the general public and satisfy their need for information about this issue.

Aside from the debate happening on the program, the public can also participate in an online debate on Twitter by sharing their opinions using the hash tags #proRH or #antiRH and by visiting www.gmanews.tv.

“RH Bill: The Grand Debate” is hosted by respected broadcast journalist Mel Tiangco and assisted by GMA News TV personalities, Pia Arcangel and RJ Ledesma, the two being former debaters in their college days.

The special airs this May on GMA News TV.

While Pro-Lifers and Pro-RH Bill supporters are scrambling for the people’s support, everyone now will have the opportunity to listen intellectually to each camp. Weighing the advantages and disadvantages, checking logic per logic, and ultimately understanding the whole point of this legislative bill and its real impact to our people.
