Dehumanizing the Philippine Society
Reproductive Health Bill: Killing Lives, Killing Minds. These will be the effects of the Bill in the lives of the people. Upon reading the content of the Bill, we have decided that we are anti-RH Bill. The Bill is not the answer of the outraging primary problems of our country. This Bill will only be dehumanizing the Philippine society in a way that it helps lose the sense of responsibility of each individual to others and even to his/herself. It has flaws that can lead to violations of human rights and freedom of conscience. It can bring a lot of bad changes to the lives of the people especially how they will live in this altered society. When this Bill will be implemented, contraceptives will be legalized and be given free to the citizens in this nation. Every student with their young age will be taught sex education as early as Grade Five. Finally, other methods of artificial contraception’s will be introduced to the public regardless of educational attainment and be legalized that can cause high percentage of sexually transmitted cases and other diseases. These contraception’s will not decrease the cases of STD and other diseases, instead, it will continuously rise. Do you think these are good implications of the aims of the Reproductive Health Bill?

When does life begin? Life begins upon fertilization, thus we are bound to protect and save the life of the unborn. With the legalization of contraceptives, this prevents the implantation of an embryo in the mother's womb. The Church and the State are responsible for the protection of all human born or not, but why the state is strongly pushes the implementation of the RH Bill when one of its

    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…

    Abortion is a well-debated issue. The question is when does life begin? Some people believe that it begins after birth, or when the fetus can survive outside the womb by itself. And some believe that it is when conception happens. This is where the abortion debate begins. Christians believe that life begins at conception; therefore, they do not believe in the act of abortion (Catechism, 2010). This is an issue that the United States government allows because the government believes in a woman’s right to choose if she would like to keep her child. This western contemporary issue is one that is debated. This issue has gone all the way to the Supreme Court. In the United States right now, abortion is legal.…

    In a famous trial in Manila about Neil Puache, convicted of rape, exclaimed: "You're all racists and you don't even know it!" This topic may be quite controversial but I have enough evidences to back up my opinions. Racism refers to any theory or doctrine stating that inherited physical characteristics such as skin color, facial features, hair texture, and the like determine behavior patterns, personality traits and intellectual abilities. They do not know that, according to the values' standards, that the actions of man define what values they have instead of how they look because through these values, one can know that a person is acting in a proper or improper way. In practice, racism takes the form of a claim that some human races are superior to others.…

    On the first chapter, it primarily deals with the admittance of Rizal that indolence does exist to Filipinos and he also pointed out reasons why it existed. Rizal also elucidate that the term indolence was greatly altered in the sense of no love or little love for work. In the Philippines, Rizal pointed out that the disaster, hardships, and weakness of the others are blamed to the indolence of the Filipino. Rizal agreed that laziness has been present to the lives of the natives. It has always been a battle between natives and the climate, native versus nature and natives versus natives. But despite this laziness and how natives battled with some factors of it, Rizal stated that it should have positive effects. The indolence of the native does not causes backwardness and misfortune but it is actually the effect of misfortune and backwardness. Rizal compared the climate of the Philippines to the European countries. He said that hot and humid climate in the country could be a reasonable rationalization for the indolence of the Filipinos. Unlike those European countries, which has cold climates and need to exert more strength to work, it is not correct for the Philippines to be compared to them. He even pointed out that an hour work under the scorching heat of the sun in our country is equivalent to a day work in temperate countries.…

    Rh: Bill (an Essay)

    • 391 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Banking on the potentials of the said bill to drastically minimize the ballooning population of the country, the Aquino administration openly admitted its all-out support for the bill’s being enacted into law. This could be done, as the bill suggests, through maintaining feedom of informed choice wherein parents, couples and women enjoy the liberty or option of choosing from a menu of modern natural and artificial family planning methods which are medically safe, legal, accessible, affordable and effective. This caused the moralist groups, headed by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines, to react violently. They expressed apprehensions that such a bill was by nature promoting looser morals that would eventually lead to a morally-corrupt society. The inculcation of sex education in the academic curriculum is simply unorthodoxical, and as such, is morally unacceptable.…

    If there is a strong argument on the passage of the Reproductive Health (RH) Bill, it is the ever-growing population of the Philippines. According to the latest statistics on the country’s demographical data, there are now 96 million Filipinos, a considerable increase in the last 10 years or so, or a growth rate of at least four to six percent every year. Translated to more significant data, five to six babies are born in the country every minute, a staggering information considering that the Philippines is, until today, still referred to by its neighboring countries as a developing economy.…

    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.…

    When we talk about indolence it’s being about the laziness of Filipinos. We all know that many Filipinos are now indolence here in our society. But most of them are hardworking persons. And in my opinion I do not think that Filipinos are lazy because we are hardworking and independent group of people. And some of us are working in abroad just to raise our family in poverty especially to provide the basic needs of family the clothing, shelter and food. And because of that many Filipinos who strived hard just to give their children a decent life and proper education. But there are some who are indolence to reach their goal and lack of self-determination. With this, many Filipinos who are lazy to simply follow the rules and regulations in our society. Like the proper disposal of garbage and the traffic laws. This means that, by this simple instructions we tend to be independent, in other words lazy.…

    Pro Rh Bill

    I am in favor of the Reproductive Health Bill/RH Bill, not because I don’t believe in God or I disobey His rules but let’s open our eyes on our countries status. As of now our country is growing and continues to grow. We are in number 65 out of 144 economies in the world. But, as you can see, we are still behind when regards to economic growth. I don’t believe those who say that over population is not a problem. Because, I do believe that overpopulation is a big, big problem. The Philippines is having a large population. And this large population is admittedly one of the main causes of our poverty since the government had difficulty in addressing the needs of its people. The population of the Philippines makes it “the 12th most populous nation in the world today”. 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. RH bill doesn’t promote abortion but it rather prevents abortion. The RH bill protects the life of the both the mother and the baby in her womb. Supporting the bill is more PRO-LIFE. Life begins at fertilization. Therefore, if there’s no fertilization, there’s no life. The use of artificial contraception is not taking away life because life has not yet started.…

    Rh Bill

    Its content was good. That makes me affirmative about it. It made me think that it is one that should be implemented. 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 and…
