Family Planing

MANILA PHILIPPINES - Our presumptive president Rodrigo Duterte will aggressively implement thew country's family planning to push his economic growth agenda. And this move could add the simmering tensions with the Catholic church. As we all know here that Catholic church is against family planning program. Not all of us can remember that the Congress passed a law on December 2012, despite opposition from our Church leaders. Allowing public health centers to hand out contraceptives such as condoms and pills and teaching sex education in schools.

Actually I really don't understand why? Accept the truth that so many from poor family cannot fed their children 3 times a day, and cannot afford to send them to school. And our Catholic church did not help those families for their daily needs. Now, Ernesto Pernia said that Rodrigo Duterte is pushing for "rapid and sustained implementation" of the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act. Pernia, a former university lecturer and Economist at the Asian Development Bank, will join Duterte's Cabinet as chief of the National Economic and Development Authority.

Duterte said, he would defy the Catholic church's opinion on family planning and he might push for a three child policy even if he did not elaborate how he will do it but I am happy about this news. In other country, especially in China they are following this kind of policy. And some of Duterte's economic program focuses on tackling the urgent need to cut red tape in government and addressing traffic problems in the capital to encourage investments in infrastructure and manufacturing, which will create more jobs. All we need to do is to follow if we want to change our life. we need to give chance to Rodrigo Duterte to prove that he can better in our beloved country the Philippines.

Me myself have only three kids. Because I know from the very start that it is really so hard to live especially that I belong from a poor family. I want to give a good life to my kids in form of the highest education. Now, I am thinking that if I did not use pills maybe my kids number is higher than three. I am waiting for the time that the three children policy will be implemented. How would Duterte will do, I will wait and see.
