    I am not against RH bill, and I am not pro abortion, it’s just I want to teach people lesson on giving birth among children whom they can’t support and will be like others begging on the streets and in the end be one of the government dependents. But I am not allowing manipulations or tricks just to fool us around, just to crash moral issues and other objections. I still believe in the moral values our late Pres. Cory imbued to our present president today and will do what is good for our country with due respect and transparency to all Filipino…

    Many thought that the bill would never pass, because the country has been divided in its stand; the church, particularly the Roman Catholics are too strong and are very emphatic in their opposition about the said issue. However, pro RH bill supporters have expressed and fought for their thoughts and have found an ally in President Noynoy Aquino, who took office as President of the Philippine Republic in 2010. The Reproductive Health Bill will have its wide implications for improving the health and lives of women throughout the country. After researching about this bill, I have learned about the many advantages that will help the Filipinos especially the youth in uplifting their social and moral values. Contrary to what other people believed, I also support the pro RH Bill because from my point of view, it provides many advantages. I would like to raise my opinion on the following issues which I have researched extensively regarding the RH Bill:…

    The latest version of the RH Bill2 does not refer to any specific problem related to demography. It does not mention at all the typical justification of population-control-to-eradicate-poverty. This version3 refers to reproductive health per se. The Philippines, according to this Bill, needs a law on reproductive health. By implication, it says that the Philippines does not have any law that addresses the reproductive health needs, an implication that is incorrect since there are already laws that address many of the provisions of the Bill.4…

    This particular Law is a vital factor for the complete employment of the Philippine government’s widespread health care policy, which aims to reduce deaths due to pregnancy or giving birth, and improve overall reproductive health of the Filipinos. According to the United Nations Population Fund (2009), and the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (2012), “More mothers die from childbirth due to the poor implementation of modern family planning methods, bad public health service, and more.” The revolutionary RH Law, as proclaimed by Albay Representative Edcel Lagman, the principal author of the Bill, will not have immediate results. It is said that even with much work and plenty of funds, for the free contraceptives, the Law’s results may approximately initiate after five years. Even the authors of the Bill, now a Law, sadly announced that the RH Law is not perfect; much improvement and revision is still taking place. With the implementation of this Law, the government hopes to see great changes, especially on our public and reproductive health. As it was mentioned before, these changes include the improved access to information, facilities and services, increased stability and sustainability of health policy across national and local government. Hopefully, with their…

    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 RH bill became controversial because of the contradicting opinions of different sectors, people and the government and including the church. Some said that it is good for our country because it can decrease the continuous growth of population of our country or likewise to lessen the number of people who experience poverty in our country. But as I said some people do not agree with this bill especially the church people, the CBCP in particular, they said that using contraceptives are just like killing babies or preventing life or simply anti-life and that against the law in our church. So, we have this “Pro-RH bill” and the “Anti-RH bill” groups.…

    Over the years, several bills have been filed in both the Senate and Congress, proposing alaw on “reproductive health”; all provoked the most polarizing public debates.

    Disadvantage of Rhbill

    • 3 Pages

    The disadvantage of the Reproductive Health Bill in the Philippines is the undue focus being given to reproductive health and population and development, when many more urgent and important health problems need to be addressed in the country, those that cause a significant number of deaths across the country such as cardiovascular diseases and infections. Financial resources allotted by foreign donors to assist the Philippine government programs could actually be better spent towards pursuing health programs targeting communicable diseases than purchasing artificial contraceptives.…
