    "content": "The amendment I would propose to this Bill is to include a shelf life, perhaps 20 years, to allow the Government to develop solutions for affordable sanitary products. These solutions could include zero-rating raw materials, ensuring access to cheap labor for production, subsidizing the sector and establishing domestic manufacturing of sanitary products. Another proposal I would suggest to Sen. Gloria to include in the Bill is the introduction of period education. This would help girls understand what is normal during their period, recognize when something might be abnormal and know how to manage pain. It would also expose them to the variety of period products available, as sanitary towels are not the only option. Girls should have the freedom to choose what is most comfortable for them. Madam Temporary Speaker, tampons are an excellent option. I do not know if you can bear me witness on that. Speaking from personal experience, I can attest to their comfort and convenience. They allow you to almost forget you are on your period. There is often a misconception about tampons being a significant or intimidating choice, but the mini tampon, for instance, is much smaller and is designed to absorb effectively. Those are my remarks on this Bill. I support The Provision of Sanitary Towels Bill (Senate Bills No.7 of 2024) with amendments. Thank you."
