Population Control is Needed

this is not abortion it is education.
We need this kind of law to increase our Reproductive Health Service and Health Care, because a well planned family will help you live the life you've always wanted, a life where you can provide anything for your family, a shelter, food, education, all the basic needs.
WHAT IS RH BILL?
The Reproductive Health bills, popularly known as the RH Bill, are Philippine bills aiming to guarantee universal access to methods and information on birth control and maternal care. The bills have become the center of a contentious national debate. There are presently two bills with the same goals: House Bill No. 4244 or An Act Providing for a Comprehensive Policy on Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health, and Population and Development, and For Other Purposes introduced byAlbay 1st district Representative Edcel Lagman, and Senate Bill No. 2378 or An Act Providing For a National Policy on Reproductive Health and Population and Development introduced by SenatorMiriam Defensor Santiago.
While there is general agreement about its provisions on maternal and child health, there is great debate on its key proposal that the Philippine government and the private sector will fund and undertake widespread distribution of family planning devices such as condoms, birth control pills (BCPs) and IUDs, as the government continues to disseminate information on their use through all health care centers.
The bill is highly divisive, with experts, academics, religious institutions, and major political figures supporting and opposing it, often criticizing the government and each other in the process. Debates and rallies for and against the bill, with tens of thousand participating, have been happening all over the country.

Why did they abandoned their Children or why these children runaway?
It is mainly because of poverty, poverty leads to many problems including family problems, without money most parents are emotionally stressed and will look for something to blame for their own failure, which leads to physical and emotional abuse of their own children.
As a result, most of them run away to escape abuse and ended up beggars in the streets.
Less resources for more people is an imbalance.
The Philippines is not a huge and rich country, this government cannot give food, jobs, shelter in an instant. Because of its high population, most people live in squatters area, a land owned by the government or a private person, a land if developed could generate income, and jobs.
Some RH bill critics say the higher the population the better, well I agree if this country focuses only its military projects, if many soldiers killed, some will replace in an instant. But we are not a communist or a war freak country, all we ever wanted was just to live normal and improve our way of living.
One Issues with overpopulation is the lack of resources, as population grows we need more food, shelter, jobs and the government must provide these needs for its people.
If the resources are just equals the number of its people then the government will not look for more.
THE CHURCH AND THE STATE
One of the biggest critic of this bill is the Catholic Church they didn't want to pass the bill because they say it is "immoral" and Filipino's should keep on multiplying and be ignorant about their reproductive health, they also say the bill is about promoting abortion, I say that is ridiculous a Catholic Country will not let that happen
First of all, if they respect this constitution they should not dictate this government, because based on the constitution, a state and church are two separate worlds, so priests and bishops, if they are really holy and true to their faith, they should not enter the dirty world of Filipino Politics.
The Church says this law will only promote selling condoms and contraceptives, hmm, so what? aren't they happy finally Filipino's will learn to be responsible about themselves and to their partners.
They say having too much population would help this government by sending many OFW's for the government to earn more, but wait a minute... I thought they are Pro Family, and family should stick together, they are having contradictions on where they stand. I just remembered something, I saw on the CBCP website that they are against mining, but recently i found out some of their bishops has invested millions of pesos on Philex Mining, and I though they hate mining, :-(.
Anyway, this bill is not about forcing someone to use contraceptives it is about to educate.
Parents have a choice, this is not China where parents are restricted to one child only, and the Church should not panic, if Filipino's are no longer ignorant about their reproductive health.
For me passing a law about Reproductive Health will make abortion clinics out of business.
These kind of issues should not be kept hidden in the bedroom forever, this is about being human, and learning about our body and be responsible.

She pleaded no contest to vehicular manslaughter.

Though he was acquitted of the criminal charges that were brought against him, he settled with the victims’ families for large sums of money and was punished for breaking child labor laws. Lead Belly

Philippine Soap Opera Curse
I got a friend who is from a theater school suggested me this kind of topic on how he notice Pinoy teleserye story lines are always being repeated on most TV stations.
Pinoy Teleserye
In the Philippines we have this "teleserye (television series)" or "teledrama (tv drama)", and now we also have "telepantasya (tv fantasy)" or "pantaserye (fantasy series)". These kind of shows has been part of the Filipino culture for years.
But, did you know that the first Philippine Soap Opera was first aired on the radio, it was Gulong ng Palad on 1949 then expanded into a television series in the early 1960's
In the 90's Soap Operas like Mara Clara begin to air, and it is one of the longest running Soap Opera in Philippine History, a story about two child that were exchanged with different parents, and ended up as mortal enemies, a story plot that has been used by modern teledramas even up today.
Same old Boring Story
During the early 90's Mexican telenovela has begun its Philippine invasion especially the show Marimar which stars Mexican actress Thalia, a story about a poor girl from the Barrio who fell in love with a rich handsome dude, and she get bullied by the rich people, then she became rich and gets revenge then, blah bla blah and they ended getting maried, got kids... happily ever after, the end. A perfect story plot for the Filipinos who love under dogs and poor people kicking some richie rich butt.
So from there Philippine Soap Opera originality has been nailed and has evolved into a Mexican kind of drama, where a poor girl or boy is being paired with a rich boy or girl, fell in love, start fighting because parents doesn't like the poor thing, gets rich because she or he found out that her/his parents where actually rich and has been looking for years, gets a payback, gets the guy/girl, got kids, blah bla blah again, got married happily ever after! whew... a story that has been repeated for the past two decades even in movies.
After Mexican now Asianovela, with the same old theme. It all started when Meteor Garden came into town, the Soap Opera was actually entertaining it maybe has the old story kinda thing but they gave it a little twist and originality, instead of the looser kind of heroine they put someone who kicks rich peoples behind, or those who yell at their boyfriend, kinda boyish but cool, I like girls that kicks balls, it makes me sweat, hehehe...
Besides the same old boring love story, we also have this lost child story, most soap operas are always looking for their lost child. Mara Clara, 100 days to heaven, Mutya, Time of My Life and now the latest from ABS-CBN Ikaw ay Pag-ibig are just samples, another story about a mother looking for her child, again... in the end they will be reunited again, new show same old story.
Let me wrap it up for you, I know not all shows are the same but this is what I think about Philippine Soap Opera.
Story lines
- Mostly about love, about a poor girl and rich boy vice versa
- got separated by parents while they were young, usually the poor bida was the one separated.
- The beginning of the story usually starts about a mother who lost her child
- The villain and bida first meet at school.
- Usually the fight starts at the canteen usually the villain tripping the hero's foot, and people starts laughing.
- Sometimes they become friends.
- They became enemies because they like the same guy.
- The villains are mostly relatives to the lead actor or actress, the auntie, the mother, the kabit, the stepdaughter.
- Most shows are on how to be a good Catholic. (it is biased since there are more than17% in the country are not Catholics, not all can relate).
- Common ailments is amnesia, most of the characters will and some will suffer amnesia
- All of the shows always show some kidnap scene, they usually uses a multicab or van
- Most villains got goons
- Most goons all wear leather jackets, you won't see someone wearing shorts or slippers and the leader of the goons are always the good looking one.
- The Policemen are useless, always late in the scene of the crime, and the villains always escapes them, even when captured.
- In the end it is the bida that defeats the villain not the Police
- Common Profession of the mastermind villains include, Governors, Congressman, Mayor or Attorney and Policemen. (Have you seen a villain who is just a City Councilor or a Barangay Tanod?)
- One of the lead Character will die when the show will end in just about 2 weeks.
- When someone tries to tell the truth he/she will get heart attacked or a stroke.
- In a shooting scene the bida's bullets doesn't get empty even if it is just a colt with 6 bullets in it.
- Before killing each other they will have a conversation. (I say just kill the villain already gd damm'it, before he shoots you back!)
- The Master villain always got a hot chick by his side, and his goons are always smoking and drinking San Miguel Beer Palesen you won't see other brands :-P.
- In some dramas the end of the show usually ended up the bida forgiving his/her mortal enemy. (after all what she has done to you just gonna forgive her, what a looser!)
- All of the show, shows Hypocrisy and Ignorance, a common Filipino attitude.
