Reaction Paper to R.H Bill
The Reproductive Health Bill, is popularly known as the RH Bill, a Philippine bill that aims to guarantee methods and information for universal access on birth control and maternal care. It has become the center of a contentious national debate.
At some point I don’t agree with the bill, it does inform the public regarding the pros and cons of unguarded sex but it also deprives the minds of the students with their innocence. It stirs the students’ curiosity that pushes them to venture out in unguided sex.For example a 9-12 year old kid, playing outside with his friends or watching cartoons will divert due to his maturity level in unguided sex because of advance knowledge in sex education. It will make school age children engage in unguided sex.Parents should prioritize their children. They should guide them accordingly in their age and must keep an open relationship between both parents and child. On the other hand, though I am not in favor of the bill, it serves as a good purpose on married couples because it contributes more knowledge on distribution of family planning supplies for the whole country such as condoms, oral and implanted contraceptives. We all know that married couple has sexual needs and in that if they want a responsible intercourse, contraceptives and natural methods are the only barriers that will insure them in appropriate family planning. Example is by the use of condom and the calendar method.The proponents of RH bill should consider the consequences of the said bill. They must perform further researches so that they are sure that it will help the youth and not to destroy them.
What is the number one problem of the Philippines today? POVERTY. yes, a huge percent of our population is experiencing poverty, kids not going to school, people not eating 3 times a day, grumbling stomachs and people begging on the streets. One of the topmost reasons why we see this now is because of alot of Filipino Families today lack

    There are various struggles faced by the American people because of the mishaps of sex. Many religions and faiths indurate the task to teach the concepts of sexual conduct. Some feel it is of great importance to give sex education whereas others think it goes against common principles. However based on surveys many parents are very abstinent or too shy to talk with their children about sex education. One may argue that the sex revolution of 1960’s was very devastating, aggrandizing teen pregnancy and divorce rates and proliferating sexually transmitted diseases such as aids and herpes which have no cure. However it is also very important because it drew the attention of the authority’s and public towards the necessity of sex education. The opposing views says that giving kids information on birth control encourages them to have sex and abstaining is the only way to prevent teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Whether or not sex education should be permitted and will be beneficial is a question many are asking, but only few know the answer to.…

    Poverty remains the most critical social problem that needs to be addressed. Philippines' poverty line marks a per capita income of 16,841 pesos a year. According to the data from the National Statistical Coordination Board, more than one-quarter (27.9%) of the population fell below the poverty line the first semester of 2012, an approximate 1 per cent increase since 2009. This figure is a much lower figure as compared to the 33.1% in 1991. The decline has been slow and uneven, much slower than neighboring countries who experienced broadly similar numbers in the 1980s,[4] such as People's Republic of China (PRC), Thailand, Indonesia (where the poverty level lies at 8.5%) or Vietnam (13.5%). This shows that the incidence of poverty has remained significantly high as compared to other countries for almost a decade. The unevenness of the decline has been attributed to a large range of income brackets across regions and sectors, and unmanaged population growth. The Philippines poverty rate is roughly the same level asHaiti.…

    The bill is national in scope, comprehensive, rights-based and provides adequate funding to the population program. It is a departure from the present setup in which the provision for reproductive health services is devolved to local government units, and consequently, subjected to the varying strategies of local government executives and suffers from a dearth of funding. The reproductive health (RH) bill promotes information on and access to both natural and modern family planning methods, which are medically safe and legally permissible. It assures an enabling environment where women and couples have the freedom of informed choice on the mode of family planning they want to adopt based on their needs, personal convictions and religious beliefs.…

    The Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10354), informally known as the Reproductive Health Law, is a law in the Philippines which guarantees universal access to methods on contraception, fertility control, sexual education, and maternal care. While there is general agreement about its provisions on maternal and child health, there is great debate on its mandate that the Philippine government and the private sector will fund and undertake widespread distribution of family planning devices such as condoms, birth control pills and IUDs, as the government continues to disseminate information on their use through all health care centers. Passage of the legislation was highly divisive and controversial, with experts, academics, religious institutions, and major political figures declaring their support or opposition it while it was pending in the legislature, often criticizing the government and each other in the process. Debates and rallies both supporting and opposing the "RH Bill," as it was known, happened nationwide.…

On January 31, 2011, the House of Representatives Committee on Population and Family Relations voted to consolidate all House versions of the bill, which is entitled An Act Providing for a Comprehensive Policy on Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population Development and for Other Purposes.…

    When I hear the RH Bill, What comes to my mind? I must say that I am in favor to this law in the Philippines . This law means having control of the growing population in the Philipines and this will lessen poverty due to the lesser family members. The law states that the people has choices to pick in starting a family like contraceptives, condoms, pills, IUD. This Bill will help people much especially the uneducated ones to know more information about family planning, prevention of abortion, sex education, prevention of HIV/AIDS and others. The poorest family may have the biggest family, now is the time for them to give education about controlling by approving this bill. I think this bill was aimed to the poor ones because they are the ones who cannot support their family and most of them has no education, this means more problem. This helps us to make the lives of the filipino future to be more productive. We are already in a modern world, many of the people know about sex. Even out of wed lock have sex, even friends have sex but the bill helps to control having birth and being safe. Most especially teens, they are the one mostly who are engaging in sex. By giving them proper explanation by their parents to be responsible and do what is right, do you think that their children will listen? Well, it’s up to them but parents should always be reminding their children to do what is wrong from right. Why do others are against it? Maybe because it’s also against the Roman Catholic Church and the beliefs of other groups. But people has their own right what they will do and what they want to believe and use.…
