All I can say about Montalvan is he referring the advocates of Malthus Theory, which is the Anti-life and Anti-family who seem not to run of clever, and agenda into every conceivable legislation that they can think of. According to Malthus in the Economic point of view, that he argued that as wages increase within an economy, the birth-rate increases while the death-rate decreases. He reasoned that high incomes allowed people to have sufficient means to raise their children, thus resulting in greater desire to have more children, which increases the population.
In addition, high incomes also allowed people to afford proper medication to fight off potentially harmful diseases, thus decreasing the death rate. As a result, wage-increases caused population to grow as the birth-rate increases and the death-rate decreases.
He further argued that as the supply of labor increases with the increased population-growth at a constant labor demand, the wages earned would decrease eventually to subsistence, where the birth rate equals the death rate, resulting in no growth in population. However, the world generally has experienced quite a different result than the one Malthus predicted.
Malthus assumed a constant labor-demand in his assessment of
In addition, Malthus have a great contribution in the economics which the theory of population. According to Malthus, population tends to increase faster than the supply of food available for its needs. Whenever a relative gain occurs in food production over population growth, a higher rate of population increase is stimulated; on the other hand, if population grows too much faster than food production, the growth is checked by famine, disease, and war. Malthus's theory contradicted the optimistic belief prevailing in the early 19th century, which a society's fertility would lead to economic progress. Malthus's theory won supporters and was often used as an argument against efforts to better the condition of the poor.

As one of the verses from the bible told by our lord "go to the world and multiply" it came to my mind that our maker surely told us to reproduce through love,but along with this is our responsibility and obligation that we need to face w/!i am not pro or anti life for both have their own advantage and disanvantage views.
reproductive health concerning womens health and correct spacing of pregnancy using contraceptive pills and other devices in preventing pregnancy that would eventually increases population growth.
but on the contrary it is against the law of god for it is killing one's life,your own blood and flesh ! and that is the fact that when entering into marriage,a couple should have in mind the obligations and their responsibility before having a big family.
why not follow other country like japan who has a huge population compare to philippines,they are more progressive compare to us.
my reaction to montalban's script published in the phil.daily inquirer is much the same to him, the government must put and end to this issue for many political personalities are taking advantage and jumping it w/ this due to some political personal interest. it is true that the use of reproductive devices concerns on many things but we should not forget and take for granted the words of god.
