Oh, a majority of the Cabinet, for sure, and Aquino has been vocal enough in support of the RH Bill to have been threatened with excommunication by the CBCP...

but a majority of the Ramos cabinet were in favour of Flavier's legislation and Ramos was beyond excommunication because he is a Methodist!

The real test is - will a majority of the House and a majority of the Senate be willing to fight the Church in their next election campaigns - to put it even more bluntly, will their financial backers support them if they do?
