Dear Sir Lapid.

Someone needs to pick up a college level science book and actually read.

Nasa textbook yan, sir. Basahin mo lang. Mag-consult ka muna sa mga doktor. Yung mga totoong doktor ha. Pwede mo rin basahin sa wikipedia.

Also from the article: “Speaking to Senate reporters, Lapid said he is afraid to debate with RH bill co-sponsors Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago and Sen. Pia Cayetano because he might not be able to answer adequately in English. “

Face the facts. Ignorance kills.
