I agree with Mr. MOntalvan II in his article KRIS CROSSING MINDANAO. They're at mathus again which really centered on the "Reproductive HEalth" that the government is pushing today.Reproductive Health Bill which according to the proponent will help promote the use of artificial contraception in promoting women's health. This bill is premised on the belief that we are poor because we are too many. Further more,this bill was proposed to curb population growth that resulted to high poverty.
Now, they sited the Malthus principles that foresow the world's population out running food supply,leading to decrease food per person.Malthus theory as applied in other countries was succesful in declining population growth but create another problem.The problem which other countries believed on MAlthus principles is now adressing the grim reality of the deminishing human resources.Japan,Italy & Germany are now in the throes of the so called "demographic winter".Demographic winter is define as the decline in the human family. Now there are many countries who had believed Malthus principle are now offering insentives to encouraged child bearing in the attempt to curb population decline.And we dont want Philippines to experience such.Because higher population densities dont necessarily translate into lower personal income.
As they argued that the decline in population means economic growth,lower poverty but its not citing the study done in the past years shows a decline in population but no decline in poverty.Again reproductive health is not a solution of high poverty because of high population.Government must adressed population explosion which could not affect the moral aspect of the Filipinos as the church opposed to the reproductive health.
So,I agree with Montalvan,lets put a stop to use of the teran reproductive health."And I believe these quote"The Family is Crucial to a well Functioning economy particularly in modern economy base on innovation,new ideas and development.
