                    [Summary] => 
The numerous rallies and protest marches happening in our nation’s capital today seemed quite impossible just a couple of years ago.

Benigno “P-Noy” Aquino III signed the Reproductive Health (RH) Bill into law after a very long and divisive debate by the Filipino Catholic faithful, where even the so-called Princes of the Catholic Church were not in unison in this fight for the unborn and to keep the Filipino family intact.

However since the Feast of the Immaculate Conception is a Holiday of Obligation, if you went to Mass today, you are no longer required to hear Mass tomorrow.
