An Open Letter to Senators of the 19th Congress: Be Our Heroes!
We are advocates for the medical use of cannabis. We are fighting for patients and other stakeholders who have been seeking Accessible, Safe, and Affordable cannabis-based medicinal products. Patients need it, science supports it.
There are a few more session days. You can pass Senate Bill 2573, the historic and landmark bill named the Cannabis Medicalization Act of the Philippines. Here are the valiant Senators who signed the Committee Report:
Sen. Robinhood C. Padilla
Sen. Ronald "Bato" dela Rosa
Sen. Joseph Victor G. Ejercito
Sen. Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada
Sen. Christopher B**g Go
Sen. Manuel "Lito" M. Lapid
Sen. Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III
Sen. Grace Poe
Sen. Ramon B**g Revilla, Jr
Sen. Raffy T. Tulfo
Sen. Joel Villanueva
Sen. Mark Villar
Sen. Juan Edgardo "Sonny" M. Angara also signed but he was eventually appointed DepEd Secretary on July 2024. Here are the other Senators whom we talked to and who expressed their support:
Sen. Risa Hontiveros
Sen Juan Miguel F. Zubiri
Sen. Francis N. Tolentino
Sen. Win Gatchalian
Sen Alan Peter "CompaΓ±ero" S. Cayetano
We appeal to your sense of compassion. Our patients are desperately seeking relief for their debilitating diseases. It has been 11 years since we started this monumental campaign. Many patients have died without recourse to this life-saving medicine. Patients need it, science supports it.
You can change patientsβ lives. You can be our heroes. Pass SB2573!
