PRES. NOYNOY AQUINO: JUST HOW BAD THE SITUATION WAS IN PHILIPPINES?

CNBC INTERVIEW: 17:22 Aquino sets 8% growth target for 2011

Thu 10 Mar 11 | 07:30 PM ET
Manila is targeting growth of up to 8% this year following a record 7.3% expansion in 2010. But with inflation dogging the world, CNBC asked President Benigno Aquino, just how bad the situation was in the Philippines.

----------------------------------------------------------
RH BILL AWARENESS: Contrary to the misinformation campaign being spread by some, the Reproductive Health (RH) - Responsible Parenthood (R) Bill does not allow abortion and will not force any contraceptive methods on anyone.

It will not dictate the number of children a family can have.

The Bill will respect the moral convictions and religious beliefs of all, but at the same time, protect the unborn child by providing health services for the pregnant mother and likewise save the lives of mother from dying at childbirth.

RH-RP Bill will protect, provide and access a full range of safe and effective family planning methods (both natural and artificial) to Filipinos regardless of their belief and non-belief.

The Bill is pro-quality life for the whole family. It ensures that more children will grow up secure in the knowledge that they were wanted because their births were planned.

It is not against the birth of children and does not advocate that couples stop having children. Rather, it only claims to help them achieve their fertility goals - to have the number and proper spacing of children that they desire.

Under the Philippine Law, abortion is illegal. The RH-RP Bill does not, in any way, legalize abortion.

In fact, this Bill will help reduce the instances of illegal abortions.

Currently 11 mothers unnecessarily die from giving birth daily as per latest estimates of the United Nations.

This Bill is committed to protect the health and lives of mothers.

It is committed to reduce maternal deaths and infant mortality.

It is committed to save babies.

@AScythe He didnt really have a plan at all.his only platform was to blame arroyo for all the bad things that are happening in our country.So what's happening now is that everyone is happy that he's chasing arroyo to go to prison,while all the projects that are set were apprehended by him.and he's visiting one country from another to gather investments, Investments for what?he doesnt have plans at all for those investments, wouldnt it just be a burden to receive those without using it?

Wow, he looks very autistic in this video. He needs to resolve his own life first before trying to run the country, he's never been married, lived with his mother till she died at his age of 50, mid life crisis buying a Ferrari at the age of 50, he's a virgin, he's got some major mental issues.

how come a stupid son of big family of corrupt people is ruling? i know why, but why!

[jurbinsky77]

Very good, honest and straight to the point.

[wyanet0alcibar]

WOOHOO! Our country is doomed! Suffer with me fellow Filipinos! Let's allow our president to focus on an impeachment and ignore the fact that his people are dying, indigenous groups are disappearing, pollution is killing us all and most of our native animals are endangered! And yes, everyone, I'm being sarcastic! We're dead... and my teachers wonder why people go out of the country to work when the Philippines has so much to offer... T.T

@Gogies777 Forgive me for asking, but cant help noticing...your a big fan of the Aquinos. Anyway, it been two yrs. since GMA was out and exchange rate was around P39 vs $1...now its closing to P44- P45 vs $ 1. NOW, Noynoy Aquino is giving a whole new meaning of revenge in Phil. Politics...and its been only two years, cant wait to see what happen in 6 yrs. Cant wait what will happen to Hacienda Luisita. Let us all pray things will get better at home.

[Gogies777]

@jmmacalalag you`re just one or combination of of these:aquino hater,gloria lover,a communist,fascism supporter,a muslim,one of those who benefitted from the rampant corruption during GMA`s days and you dont want it to end,you are an idiot who believes corruption must not be dealt with so you and your cohorts can feed your families from the money you earned from thieving tax money,you cannot stand aquino because probably he banged shalani and you cnanot do better than a prostitue.jealous bitch!

[noo2islam]

This is the man of the situation. Since he's there there's no more corruption at all. It's all gone. Now there's so much job in the Philippines that they are hiring Indies.
