There's also a proposed Magna Carta on women's rights under Philippine law which the UNDP is hoping to get passed.
It covers things like enforcing the budget allocation for women's programs which all government offices are supposed to have, revising the husband's control over marriage tax breaks, making the annulment process equitable, policies to crack glass ceiling in employment, etc.
There's also the non-existence of a child porn law with teeth. This is all apart from the soaring fuel prices which the whole world is feeling, and your country's corruption problems.
I doubt this grandstanding bill will ever get passed. Though if it gets tabled, you guys ought to be careful since the gaming industry/civil rights lobby is nowhere near as powerful as it is here.
