Reaction : Rhbill
As a student, a teen and a follower of the church, I do not agree in the passing of the Reproductive Health Bill in our country. It is because I think the Reproductive Health Bill indirectly decreases the morality of people. It also teaches us how to use condoms or pills for safe sexual intercourse or for family planning. Even though we all know that it does not work 100%, there are still some who use it. For me it promotes abortion because they are preventing the development of a child, indirectly killing it. This opposes one of the church teachings, one of the Ten Commandments to be exact. And also, I do not agree with the passing of the bill because the Philippines is a Catholic country and defying the church teachings means denouncing our faith. Despite these circumstances, the president still agreed to this. They think that approving the RH bill can help lessen the over population and the decreasing of resources. For me, even though this idea is practical yet it is idiotic because they are only thinking of the positive effects and ignoring the negative effects. If I were in his shoes, I will promote the natural way of family planning so that there will be no argument between the church and the government. And an evil deed cannot be solved by another evil or this may cause another major problem. And also to those who promote the RH bill, I think they should clear their heads and start thinking for the sake of not only the majority but also to those who will be affected of the negative effects of the bill. And finally, I think that approving this bill will make the contraceptives over the counter. This allows minors or even innocent people to buy this kind of stuffs. And maybe, just maybe this can be the cause of liberation of the future

    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…

    Effective communication is key to making any relationship work. Communication can be verbal (speaking), as well as non-verbal (facial expressions, body language, etc.), and can dictate how compatible two people are, and how long a relationship may last. Communicating includes expressing emotions, interaction, touch and others that dictate how the relationship between two people will develop. Being able to open up to your partner, and covey your feelings allows for a better understanding, and greater rapport which are all important. Effective communication can be directly connected to Reiss’s wheel theory of love, and the four concepts that are part of the marriage market endogamy, exogamy, homogamy and heterogamy all of which can help explain fundamentals of relationships, as well as the different types.…

    God has given as life, and life is sacred and good. God has also given the responsibility to make decisions which reflect a reverence for life in circumstances when conflicting relatives are present.

    No.Those two were in different perspective.This stipulation, way back Spanish Colony, where church and state is united as one resulted to abusive deeds of the friars. Meanwhile, putting down Filipinos in depression and prohibiting them be the figure heads and bodies of the Philippine Politics. So I think, this two is much better be separated like in our present Constitution. Because if that time friars weren’t in control of us and deprived us it will bring us no poverty. And somewhat,somehow we can insist the true essence of morality. If church and state is united, there’s going to be an agency problem where personal goals may place ahead nations goal. That if Papa’s be the leader he will only promote Catholism that may result chaos because we are not of the same religion and it could also lead to refraining the peoples will.We were thought to be Christian but politics is still politics. Meaning, an ideology of one man is of but diverse from one another. Even if it does influence the culture of leadership it still somewhat not helpful just as like the recent situation in our country on issue about reproductive health and sex education where Catholics disagree the teachings and implementing of the provision for it aids teenagers or every being to be involved in what we called pre-marital sex. However, as the matter of fact, reading the proposed bill don’t even encourage abortion nor urge people but it saves them to teenage pregnacy and to diseases which is HIV and only one-fourth of the bill covers the topic on sex and the rest implores knowledge,awareness and precautions to this alarming problem in our society. No wonder in 2050 we’ll gonna sleep standing side by side.So to speak, if church is separated from state we can sets plans and actions to correct and direct the people for betterment and church will only serves as spiritual…

    Rh Bill: Philippines

    • 614 Words
    • 3 Pages

    How do I imagine the Philippines years from now? As much as I’d want to see our nation progress and become globally competitive, I have to admit that this is one dream not likely to happen. With the Philippine’s rapidly growing population, the country will never be able to develop to its full potential if the citizens have no jobs, no homes and no food. So why is our country suffering? It is simply because Filipinos, especially in the slum areas, are uneducated and unacquainted with the methods of responsible parenthood and family planning, leading to the rapid increase in the Philippine’s population. A very popular topic in our country today that is usually debated about is the RH Bill or the Reproductive Health Bill. This said bill was supposedly passed to control the growing population of our country to lessen poverty. It aimed to legalize access to contraceptives and age-appropriate reproductive health and sex education, which are highly opposed by the Catholic Church. We all know that poverty is one of the biggest problems of the Philippines and the usual victims of this intensifying setback are those people who were not able to enjoy the benefits of education. Since they are not well informed, they are also ignorant of the consequences of their actions and so, I, personally, believe that it is time to make a change or else misery and woe will fill our land. Without the Reproductive Health Bill, I can imagine so much more distress among the Filipinos. For sure, the people in the slum areas will continue their old habits of having five, eight, eleven and even fourteen children. Most of them will not be able to provide for the daily needs of each one and hunger will definitely be another daily obstacle. Aside from food, there will be so many limitations when it comes to space and shelter. Everyone will compete for the best area to live in where there is enough clean water and of course security for the members of the family. Basic human needs will be the biggest…

    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 State Vs.The Church”. This has been the perception of the people when RH Law or The Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10354) has been tackled. The RH Law has been a controversial bill during the time was not yet passed but now the current president of the Philippines; His Excellency President Benigno Simeon Aquino III signed it on December 21, 2012.

    Convinced that our country needs an aid for destitution and economic degeneration, many politicians propose the Reproductive Health Bill. They believe that this bill will improve Filipino’s quality of living thinking that our country is facing the problem of overpopulation. They attest that the said bill is neither anti-life nor anti-family, that contraceptives are not life threatening, and that the bill could provide a better community to live in. Well, I say, even though it has been an established fact that our country Philippines is the 12th most populous country in the world, it does not necessarily mean that RH Bill is the right answer for the said problem.…
