News on the 2nd public hearing of the Senate on the Reproductive Health (RH) Bill. The hearing held Jan.13 was led by Senate health committee chair Sen. Pia Cayetano, who was joined by Sen. Ferdinand 'Bongbong' Marcos Jr. Correction: The news story mistakenly referred to Pro-life Foundation Pres. Eric Manalang as the resource person who engaged the two senators in a debate, but he was actually Prof. Willy Arcilla of the Pro-Life Coalition. (Aksyon, TV5, Jan. 13, 2011)
BangBang Marcos & Pia Cayetano wouldn't be here today if their parents decided to abort or used pills back then. Hypocrites.

Hindi po Katolikong bansa ang Pilipinas! Dun kayo tumira sa Vatican kung gusto nyo ng Katolikong bansa.

We need to reduce skyrocketing population growth which is unnecessary, and unsustainable! This has been going on for decades & finally we act. Family planning could bring more benifits to more people at less cost than any single technology available in human race. Raise standard of living, facilitate educational advancement & promote gender equity.
I think Senators Mirriam, Pia and including Bongbong are doing a phenomenal job! Pass the Rh bill now!

Life expectancy or uncontrolled breeding is up almost everywhere, nutrition has never been better and the proportion of the land used for agriculture is shrinking!
We're headed in deep trouble and large part of the population is going to starve to death while the rest of us experiencing skyrocketing food prices and shortages in coming years. A new understanding is needed. The population of this country cannot be supported any longer.

This over population is directly related to our economic problems or at the base of all our problems. What we have is too many people going after to few resources? And a shame, religions don't stop preaching "go forth & multiply" given the immeasurable harm which they are doing here.
Polygamy, uneducated birth and backward religious beliefs are the main reasons why the population of our nation is exploding?
Our country has reached an unsustainable population!

the pro life guy is actually correct. the main point is to create and distribute wealth in the country that is the first and foremost goal of the Philippine government.
WHO CARES IF A FILIPINA WOMAN HAS 7 CHILDREN. AS LONG AS SHE CAN SUPPORT THEM AND THE GOVERNMENT ECONOMIC SECTORS ARE PROVIDING JOBS THAT'S OK.
WHAT THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD DO IS FOCUS ON INDUSTRIES THAT WILL CREATE JOBS FOR THE FILIPINOS BY A FILIPINO.
EXAMPLE, IS MODERNIZE AND MAKE OUR OWN MANUFACTURING & ENGINEERINGINDUSTRIES

Ang korapsyon ang isa sa mga pinakamalalang suliranin ng ating bayan.Ngunit isa rin pong malalang suliranin ng ating bansa ang lumolobong populasyon.
Sabihin nating hindi solusyon ang RHbill sa ating kahirapan ngunit hindi natin maitatanggi na isa ito sa maaaring maging dahilan upang mabawasan ang mga batang gutom,palaboy,walang sapat na edukasyon at tirahan.
