Pinoy Senator Tito Sotto’s Plagiarized Speech Got the Attention of Blogger Sarah

Senator Tito Sotto’s “Maalaala mo kaya” worthy performance on “Turno en Contra” on the Reproductive Health is plagued with issue such as plagiarism. Obviously, since he got some lazy staff to write the speech for him, this leaves him no choice to assume responsibility for it. Instead of apologizing for this embarrassing lapse, he vehemently denied it the way seasoned politicians do. I wonder if that staff will be expecting some Christmas bonus this year?
Anyway, all this hoopla got the attention of the blogger Sarah who originaly wrote the article. Apparently, she wasn’t amused. Read about it here. You guys can stop apologizing on behalf of our idiotic senator, she seems cool about it. The good thing about it is that it got the attention on the serious side effects the pill might cause in the long run. The fight for RH Bill still continues and hope that it will indeed gets passed.
Below is a comparison of Sotto’s speech and Sarah’s blog:
Sotto’s speech:
“According, to Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride MD, the use of the pill also causes severe gut dysbiosis. What is worse, drug induced gut imbalance is especially intractable and resistant to treatment either with probiotics or diet change.”Sarah’s blog:
“According, to Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride MD, use of other drugs such as the Pill also cause severe gut dybiosis. What’s worse, drug induced gut imbalance is especially intractable and resistant to treatment either with probiotics or diet change.”Sotto’s speech:
“Gut imbalance brought on through use of the pill negatively impacts the ability to digest food and absorb nutrients. As a result, even if a woman eats spectacularly well during pregnancy, if she has been taking oral contraceptives for a period of time beforehand, it is highly likely that she and her baby are not reaping the full benefits of all this healthy food as the lack of beneficial flora in her gut preclude this from occurring.”Sarah’s blog:

“Pathogenic, opportunistic flora that take hold in the gut when the pill is used constantly produce toxic substances which are the by-products of their metabolism. These toxins leak into the woman’s bloodstream and they have the potential to cross the placenta. Therefore, gut dysbiosis exposes the fetus to toxin.”Sarah’s blog:

“Not well known is also the fact that use of the pill depletes zinc in the body. Zinc is called ‘the intelligence mineral’ as it is intimately involved in mental development.”Sarah’s blog:
