recognized Rep. Atienza to explain his vote.

EXPLANATION OF REP. ATIENZA’S VOTE

Upon recognition by the Chair, Rep. Atienza ex-

plained that he was voting against House Bill No.

5907 simply because it was not discussed on the

floor. He underscored that Buhay Party-List cannot

participate in the voting process on a serious matter

that may affect the Filipino family just to go along

with an erroneous and capricious system where laws

are being passed without proper dissemination of

correct information. He then asserted that passage of

legislative measures should undergo correct parlia-

mentary procedures where each Member can partici-

pate in discussing a proposed measure.
