Lizzie deserves all the rights, privileges that come for being a Filipino: Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon appeals to colleagues to approve House Bill No. 9376, which seeks to grant Filipino citizenship to Elizabeth “Lizzie” Eder Zobel de Ayala during the hybrid plenary session Monday, November 8, 2021. Drilon, in his co-sponsorship speech, noted that the Senate has granted Filipino citizenships to different personalities in the past, but few were as remarkable as “Lizzie”, who has dedicated her life to various socio-civic activities in the Philippines and championing the causes on literacy, education and family planning, among others. “I have filed Senate Bill No. (SBN) 2221 because of my great conviction that Elizabeth “Lizzie” Eder Zobel de Ayala deserves all the rights, privileges and prerogatives that come for being a Filipino,” Drilon said. Drilon filed SBN 2221 which also seeks to grant Filipino citizenship to Zobel de Ayala. (Screen grab/Senate PRIB)
