The Bottom line is this, yes we need sex education and yes we need contraceptives to address the POTENTIAL

population boom, BUT, all caps as intended, we do have sex education in schools already, hence this is a redundant part of the bill, and we do have DOH who can freely enact a sex education/ family planning drive anytime. And as for contraceptives, have you gone to Mercury Drug lately.. or 7/11 for that matter, it is NOT illegal to be buying condoms. So what is the RH bill then? Its Health Care for the mother, free contraceptives for the married couple if they so choose to do family planning (Read: it only addresses married couples going to public hospitals), education for people (which is already in place, not effective, yes, but already in place). If you ask me the only worthy cause of the RH bill is the Health Care portion of the bill. Yes, I don't want Filipinos to die because of poverty. But why limit it to women concerns? Why not enact a Health Care bill that would address the poor (and the rich) who is dying of a heart attack. I don't want them to die as well. Free contraceptives is just a waste of money. If people believed that they need family planning, they'd certainly forego getting a cellphone load in exchange for buying a condom. Yes, like 90% of the masa have cellphones. Just go to Greenhills. They're all texting. There is something fishy about this RH bill. To say that you are FOR the RH bill, you'd have to agree with its entirety. When this is passed, all its flaws are passed as well. What say you about the 2 child recommendation of the bill? It is not obligatory but suggested. Ergo, the social worker will be harping and shaping the minds of the mothers on this. Do you agree with this? I'm a 5th child, and I contribute well to the Philippine society. All the more, developed countries are having problems getting their citizens to pro-create and here we are stopping it. Tsk. Tsk. As it is nga ask around, I know of 5 people who doesn't want to have kids, and the rest of my siblings only want 2 to 3. And thats without a bill to promote this. There's also this part about having a van and a TV for every congressional district in the entire Philippines. Again, optional but you know how our congressmen are. How much does a van cost? 700k? Multiply that by a thousand. Do you really want your tax money to go here? Pwede naman magcampaign ang DOH sa TV. They already have a budget for that. Ano walang TV the poor? Nakakanood nga ng Willing Willie! Syempre they have access to a TV, at least the majority. As for family planning, its only the poor married couples who'd get it. Thats the premise of the bill. So it doesn't address the wedlock cases and the Robin Padilla types having 10 panganays.bv This bill will only create another ZTE-ish scandal of a miraculous government condom purchase in the future. Sigurado yan.

Be critical my fellow Filipinos. Read the RH bill before getting on the cool- anti church PRO RH bill campaign. I am not pro-Church. I find their arguments Baduy also. I wish they just kept mum about the issue frankly.

Intro To Rh Bill
Introduction: Humans are naturally born governed with laws and thats what we call the natural law. And as we, humans grow to become more intellectual, we generated our own laws and rules to govern our lives for better quality and discipline. But sometimes, there are laws or proponents that have gained different viewpoints among us as to its necessity, value, and morality. One of these is the Reproductive Health Bill. Almost over a decade has passed since the Reproductive Health Bill in the Philippines was for the first time proposed, now that the pursuance of the bill has gained its rebirth, still it has become a part of the national debate bringing about a wider division.

While there is general agreement about its provisions on maternal and child health, there is great debate on its key proposal that the Filipino taxpayer and the private sector will fund and undertake widespread distribution of family planning devices furthermore, 81% Filipinos are Catholics, the Catholic Church exerts a strong influence in public life. Its staunch of opposition to the bill has drawn the ire of non-Catholics and Catholics alike who support the bill, and they invoke the principle of separation of church and state to stop the church. Passage or non-passage of the bill has negative implications depending on the views.
