    An increasing number of students is having sexual intercourse in campus dormitories, thus increasing the need for condom machines to be placed on campus grounds. First and most importantly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported that 47.4% of students have had at least one encounter of sexual intercourse during their terms of study with only 38.9% of them having used any form of protection. This could result in an increased risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases (STD) such as syphilis, gonorrhea and the most fatal of all, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In 2009, an estimated 5,259 young adults (aged 17-24) were diagnosed with AIDS, and the numbers are still increasing over the years. Second, 21.6% of students engaged in sexual intercourse after consuming alcohol or drugs at college parties. This could result in a higher percentage of students having unprotected sex, and it could also expose them to higher risks of catching STDs if they have sex with unknown partners. Finally, having unprotected sex could also result in unwanted pregnancies. Tunette Powell, a bright college student who used to do very well in school, saw a plummeting in her results due to the stress from her unwanted pregnancy. She eventually had to drop out of school because she was not able to focus on her studies anymore, thus limiting her qualifications. It is almost impossible to prevent sexual interactions between college students staying in campus hostels, but by placing condom machines on site, it will help to promote safe sex and at the same time greatly reduce the chances of acquiring STDs and unwanted pregnancies.…

    The implementation of laws provisioning almost the same contents as the RH Bill today dates back in the late 1960’s during the reign of former President Ferdinand Marcos. At that time, Family Planning was adopted by the government purely for the purpose of population reduction towards the alleviation of poverty, as is the government’s commitment to population control stated in The 1973 Constitution, “It shall be the responsibility of the state to achieve and maintain population levels conducive to the national welfare” (Likhaan and ARROW 17). Unfortunately, when the Marcos administration was replaced by the Aquino administration, the ground for the government Family Planning Program became shaky. It was attempted to be abolished twice but was saved through its transfer from the Department of Social Welfare to the Department of Health in 1988 due to both local and international pressures (17).…

    The House Bill 1799, most commonly known as the Divorce Bill, has been filed on the Philippine Court since July 27, 2010 and is now a pending case in the House committee on revision of laws. For more than two years now, there has been an ongoing debate by lawyers, journalists, politicians and even religious leaders whether or not this Bill should be passed and be included in the Family Code of the Philippine Constitution. This unsettled issue has lead ta a debate in the class of E04-2013 last 11th of March 2013 with the motion, “This house believes that the Philippine Government should pass the Divorce Bill.” Both the government side and the opposition side have presented their arguments well and has defended their own stands.

    The psychosocial, economic and biological model of health in terms of reproduction influences reproductive health. Although biologically speaking the human body is ready to reproduce once it reaches puberty, however, for social, economic and cultural factors the act of reproduction is put on halt. From a practical point of view, reproductive health can be a challenge due to financial factors such as being able to provide children with food, shelter and care. Contraception also plays a huge role in the maintenance of reproductive health. Some countries are not fully accepting of various methods of contraception while others countries have healthcare systems that provide their people with health services providing information and methods of safe contraception.

    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…

    I respect the opinion of others about their decision upon agreeing in this bill but they should have an understanding that when RH Bill is going to be a law, then the Philippines will somewhat be liberated. I passed upon a guy who is not a Pro nor a Con in RH Bill but has a point in telling us that, "I wouldn't directly say that I am against it...but I wouldn't also say that I am with it...on the surface, the law seems to be plausible...it is actually verging on good to great...but as Filipinos, the separation of the state to the church isn't actually complied because as Filipinos, our value for life and morality is sky high...but we cannot also change the fact that we are not the most responsible people in the world...many youths that I know here on our place is actually engaging in sexual activities and they suffer for it...we can't change the fact that we need to control the situation before it gets worst...guys, we're 92,681,453 and counting as we talk...we can't just sit...we have to do something... the church is here to teach the people…

    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?…
