Angara -Castillo is also known as ³Reproductive Health Care Act of 2002´,assembled at Senateand House of Representatives of the Philippines, and now known as House Bill 5043 of 2008. It¶s been years since the bill was approved in the senate, due to some churchconflicts, biomedical ethical issues and some scientific research conflicts. Today thereare still lots of Filipino citizen who are now fully aware about this bill and why this billwas imposed.Before I write this reaction paper I had to read the Bill twice and read somearticles, reaction and comments in the internet I had read books and research which isrelated to reproductive health, sex education and Bioethics, for me to fully understandwhat was the RH bill all about and the reason of the creation of this bill.Poverty, the main problems that the Philippine is facing today and they say thatthe primary factors that lead to poverty is due to overpopulation, the Philippines has apopulation of 64,318,120 in 1990. Today the population is ballooning and estimated toover 94 million according to latest census and the top 12 th country having the mostpopulation. The population is growing by about 2 percent a year, giving the Philippinesone of the world¶s highest population-growth rates.This is one of the reasons of the creation of the Reproductive Health bill to give asolution to poverty by eradicating the overpopulation problem, by implementing familyplanning, sex education and prevent the sexually transmitted disease.

    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…

    Firstly, the RH Law is a law passed to address the “universal basic human right to reproductive health by all persons, particularly parents, couples, and women.” It proposes a universal access to “medically-safe, legal, affordable, effective and quality reproductive health care services, methods, devices, supplies, relevant information and education. Among the guiding principles it has, based on the text, there are programs that would help couples and women in terms of family planning/ the number and spacing of children regarding their health and resources available, and also proper utilization of resources. There are also programs promoting studies to analyze demographic trends, and scientific studies about the safety and efficacy of alternative medicines and methods. Almost all of these guiding principles are related to education, as the discovery of new knowledge and the recognition of existing knowledge is being shared and made available to everyone.…

    Since RH BILL is heard here in the Philippines, many thoughts have entered people’s mind, what is it for? Obviously it is for population control. The Bill focuses principally on the social welfare of the people. More importantly, through this, population will be controlled. Population is admittedly one of the many causes of our poverty since the government had difficulty in addressing the needs of its people. RH Bill assures the availability and access to a full range of methods, techniques, supplies and services that contribute to reproductive and sexual health and well-being. With these, our number will become manageable and eventually, our country will be in progress. We can prevent abortion and post abortion complications will be managed. We can free ourselves from sexually transmitted diseases and more importantly the education and counseling on sexuality and sexual reproductive health will be disseminated by the different government agencies.…

    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…

    Our country is facing again a very serious issue which is the RH Bill that affects our moral values and its culture. This is really a serious issue and could really change our life as a Filipino. Most of us Filipinos are very naïve about this and most probably has no idea of what possible effects that could destroy our true Filipino morality with the concern of reproduction and sex. And I strongly opposed this bill, and so with the few conservative Filipinos, but those whose minds were twisted by only on politics and business, they thought that reduce poverty through population control.…

    As i was riding a jeepney from an appointment towards home I was surprised when three street children went inside the jeepney and announced "Ayaw mo og kahadlok mga ate og kuya, dili mi mangawat ani-a kami para manganta...one two three go maestro..." and as they performed a series of rap songs many passengers were in awe and were happy that they gave alms to the three street children. And as the jeepney reached to Guadalupe they left the jeepney with full of smiles saying thanks to the people. Yes, it was really fun to hear their giggles. It also made me think that indeed those children's way of gaining money is better than stealing money or things. However, how long will those children do the same routine? How many more street children will be doing the same trend?…

    As Mother Therese said, “It is poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.” Also Pres. P Noy said, “kung walang corrupt, walang mahirap.” Our country is blessed with natural resources that have the ability to support its people’s needs and wants, only if we be more decisive with using these natural resources of ours. I do not think that the Philippines is over-populated; the only reason why we think we are over-populated is because many of our countrymen move to the urban cities to find ways to support their needs, that is why NCR is very “crowded”. Also the reason why we are at crisis, why we are experiencing poverty is because of the abusive “authorities” we have. Ironic isn’t it? The person whose duty is to uplift our society is the complete opposite and becomes the reason for our down fall. They were blinded and overcome by wealth, power, or authority. We linger too much to the problem and we do not or forget to focus on the solution to the dilemma. We think that our crisis is over-population when the real problem is the lack of self-discipline and the ability to be decisive with our decisions and actions. What we need to focus on is how to mold our people to be more “realistic” with the choices they choose.…

    Responsible Parenthood is not equivalent to the Reproductive Health Bill, it is not birth control, it is not population control. "If we consider the relevant physical, economic, psychological and social conditions,responsible parenthood is exercised by those who prudently and generously decide to have a large family or by those who, for serious reasons and with due respect for the moral law, choose not to have children for the time being or even for an indeterminate period (Humane vitae). If we examine the innate drives and emotions of man, responsible parenthood expresses the dominion which reason and will must exert over them. Everything directly related to the transmission of life participates in the creative power of God; consequently, it should be treated with respect and responsibility. It is important for spouses (according to their respective capacities) to know the mechanism of the female cycle, not to interfere, but to respect these natural processes because they are dealing with "biological laws which involve the person" (Humane vitae) . Knowledge of biological mechanisms "must lead to education in self-control": hence, the absolute necessity of the virtue of chastity and of permanent education in this virtue. (Pope John Paul II) Decision to limit the number of children will depend on: The existence of a serious motive for avoiding the birth of another child; and Respect for the moral law while searching for the most adequate means of avoiding birth. The characteristic sign of a Christian couple is their generous openness to life, to acceptance from God children as gift of love" (Pope John Paul II) as opposed to having a "contraceptive mentality." However, this does not mean that we should have the attitude of "natalism" at all cost, as if the "number" of children, in itself, were the unmistakable sign of authentic Christian matrimonial life. What matters is the integrity and honesty of married life.…
