Davao City Representative Paolo Duterte expressed his reservation on the immediate approval of RHB No. 6 as he questioned its timing.

Duterte said that there are many pressing issues needed to be prioritized like social and economic problems the country is facing.

 “This is to express our irresolution with the immediate approval of RBH No. 6,” Duterte said in a statement.

“To reiterate, we are not in opposition against the said measure per se, but we suppose that it is not timely, our country is facing more pressing social and economic issues, like inflation and poverty among others, that we need to prioritize,” said Duterte.

Ngayong buwan ng Marso na ginugunitang National Women’s Month, bibigyang pugay ng inyong Kuya Pulong ang mga kababaihang Pilipina at ang kanilang mahalaga at natatanging papel sa ating lipunan at ekonomiya.

Sa ating bansa, malaki na ang naging progreso ng pagkilala sa mga kababaihan bilang mga lider at “nation builders.” Mataas ang pagtingin at paghanga natin sa mga kababaihan. Maraming babaeng lider na ang nakarating sa mga matataas na puwesto sa tatlong sangay ng pamahalaan—ang ehekutibo, kongreso at hudikatura.
