THE SUPREME Court (SC) issued a 120-day status quo ante order on the implementation of the Republic Act No. 10354 or the Reproductive Health (RH) law last March 19.
In a report released by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) online news service, Fr. Melvin Castro, executive secretary of the CBCP-Commission on Family and Life, said the order was an answer to the prayers of the Church.
“The high court has listened to our prayers against any law that’s questionable and which, according to the Constitution, should not be implemented,” Castro said.
With a vote of 10-5 in issuing the status quo ante order, the SC halted the implementation of the RH law for 120 days, or four months.
Oral arguments were set on June 18. Gracelyn A. Simon with reports from CBCP news
