pia cayetano and her experiences: a question of generalization

i am deeply saddened by pia cayetano's actions. i see her as modern filipina fighter but i think she's generalizing too much. she's putting her story to the stories of all the women. here's my take (please read my warning below)*:

picture is from here
a. i think she supported the RH Bill because she wanted to make all filipinas healthy like her and has access to all sorts of ways to control her family. physically fit by running in marathon, which is good. controlling the future of her family by voicing out her opinion - which is good. for most of the people, that is the perfect situation. both husband and wife has control over the family matters. they voices out their opinion on how to bring up their children in response to this world's earthly call.

however, some missing link here. the church is telling us to believe in God and put our faith in Him - not in our hands but in Him.  being fit is not against God's teaching because we should learn how to take good care of ourselves. if God chose her to have 6 children, she should follow. it's the will of God. so if God chose her to be a mother, she should be one. i hear hear some people saying, "kailangan di muna ako mabuntis kasi tatakbo pa ako". so, which is more important, rearing a child of running? i am not saying that pia has the same thoughts but it is a fact that if you wanted to do some physical trainings, you need to give up on something.

b. after RH Bill, she'll push with divorce bill. wow! you know what's my next statement. she's separated with her husband. and being separated means she should pass a bill for separated women. di ba? i won't be surprise if another senator will propose other controversial laws because they are in that situation.

wait, is this really the voice of the filipinos? or the voice of the few? grabe.

i will have to stop here because i might be stressing myself with something that will not be materialized. lol!

i still have high regards with pia cayetano and still hoping and praying that she will have discernment.
