OVERPOPULATION IS A FREAKING MYTH. Peddled by neo-nazis who think they have the divine right to decide which of the population gets to live or die. The analogy would be, most jobs are concentrated in the city areas. If our politicans would bother to get out of their airconditioned life and move their fat asses and really "work" (the concept sounds possibly alien to them) to get the jobs over to the provinces and other outlying areas, there would be no need for humancongestion in the cities.

This is true. I sent your video sa ABS-CBN news and GMA. Sana pansinin nila at maiparating sa Pangulo ng Pilipinas.

@gundamzing so your geography tells you that the philippines has only arablel lands for large-scale agriculture in central luzon and southern mindanao? then i suggest you go back to school and educate yourself and learn why the mountain ranges of cordillera is the major producer of vegetables in the country. the bill is being supported by the majority. only you and the fascist church think otherwise. flaunting bigotry doesn't change the reality.

@rkt93 True, If this country really wants development and progress, why would you want to risk the allotment of money for the RH bill? when in fact there are still more obvious problems this country needs to attend to.

Has anyone here watched the ABS-CBN debate between Pro and Anti RH bill? I was a pro RH Bill before, but after the debate, the tables have turned. Why? because I did not like the person in the Pro RH bill side when she said that even Vatican has already this RH bill. The Philippines is different from Vatican! why would you compare two countries that are so different? We don't have to follow other countries' footsteps for us to say that we're doing the right thing.

The Philippines is not Overpopulated, RH bill supporters always say "Look around you, seeing poor families with 6 children and or more". Well, Filipinos do lack discipline within themselves. Why in the hell would you go to Metro Manila with nothing and then have 6 or more children? We need self discipline, not RH Bill!

@pnoysuede What majority? The majority of overpaid actors? The majority of corrupt congressmen? You are seriously going to hide behind a majority?

As for arable land, take a look at our map. Aside from the plains of central Luzon and the valleys and plateaus of Southern Mindanao, we don't have a lot of land for large-scale agriculture that would be wasted by public development.

@pnoysuede if you saw exactly the same thing, then your drive around the city must have been a long one. The reality is that the Philippines is truly a beautiful country with abundant resources. It is rather a lack of access to these resources by the people, rather than just a lack of resources for the people. Only through the population's workforce may we attain greater access to these resources. Develop land, create jobs, educate people-- thats how the country would progress.
