As the bible says: Gen. 1:28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
As of today, the Philippines is faced on a huge controversy. A controversy that caused a great clash between the Philippine's government and the church. A certain bill was being debated if it should be pursued or not.. And that bill is the RH Bill or the Reproductive Health Bill. The bill constitutes that all Filipino families should use family planning method with the help of artificial contraceptives. But the church is unfavorable of this because of what they believe, that we as humans should not control the birth of a child for it is a blessing.
The bill is highly controversial. Some experts, academics, religious institutions, and major political figures are both supporting and opposing it and often criticizing the government and each other in the process. The issue is a bit sensitive. And even came to that one point that the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines threatened to excommunicate the President, Benigno Aquino III if he supported the bill.
As a Filipino citizen? Are you favorable of this issue or not? Personally, I want this bill to be implemented. As we all know, the Philippine's population is relatively increasing each year. And because of this the number of out of school youths is also increasing. As well as the percentage of poor Filipino Families are also increasing. The two problems that I have stated are indeed connected. And the government should really do something about this. That's why tin my own opinion, the RH Bill should be implemented.
But still. every Filipinos have their own beliefs. Some are favorable and some are not. The only thing that we can do is to seek help from God, that whatever happens. We Filipinos should still be united and still act as one.
