7. “Corruption is the cancer of the
Philippines that prevents us from
growing. My dear youth, contraception is
corruption. The use of government money,
taxpayers’ money, to give out
contraceptive pills is corruption,”
Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates
Villegas said in a message read by former
Ambassador to the Vatican Henrietta de
Villa.

8. “This quarrel is not for us, it is for you. I am
standing to defend you. We are fighting error
because you might be misled. We are battling
against corruption because we know it can
harm your soul. Believe me, contraception
harms your soul,” Villegas said.
“If more babies are the cause of poverty, are
we now saying kung walang anak walang
mahirap? It does not rhyme because it is
not correct. We can have more classrooms,
more food, more jobs if we would be less
corrupt. Send out the corrupt official and not
the baby,” Villegas said.
9. “When contraception fails a birth control
generation will give birth to an abortion
generation,” he added.
10. Um-OO ka na ba?
Nakatikim ka na ba ng kinse anyos?
Naanu ka na nu?
What‟s the status quo?
15. Families in the bottom 30 percent income
group earned 62 Thousand Pesos in 2009
(Final Results from the 2009 Family Income
and Expenditure Survey)
206 thousand pesos yearly for the
remaining
Monthly income was 5,200 pesos in 2009
while it was 22,300 pesos in the upper 70
percent income group
Poor families spent 64 thousand pesos
annually, on the average, which is two
thousand pesos more than their average
annual income.
16. The Gini coefficient of the income of
families in the Philippines was estimated
at 0.4484 in 2009.
Cutbacks in publicly funded contraceptive
services and supplies since 2004 have
reduced women‟s and couples‟ access
to contraceptives.
17. Women in the Philippines increasingly
want smaller families. According to
national surveys, women aged 15–49
want 2.4 children but have an average of
3.3.
Philippines ranks # 48 in Maternal
Mortality 230 maternal deaths per
100,000 live births
18. The 2011 Family Health Survey (FHS)
results reveal that unmet need for
family planning (FP) among married
women in the Philippines remains high at
19.3 percent, 10.5 percent for birth
spacing and 8.8 percent for limiting
births. In the 2006 Family Planning
Survey, unmet need for FP was 15.7
percent, 8.4 percent for spacing and 7.3
percent for limiting.
19. Total unmet need for FP is substantially
greater among women considered
poor (25.8 percent) compared to non-
poor women (16.6 percent)
Use of family planning (FP) method is
lower among women in poor
households than those in non-poor
households (43.1 percent versus 51.3
percent
20. The difference is mainly due to the lower
prevalence rate for modern methods
among poor women (31.8 percent) than
non-poor women (38.9 percent)
22. The Philippines is a republican and
democratic state. (Art. 2 Sec. 1 of 1987
Constitution)

rate of the country, PHIL. GDP will be doubled

ability to satisfy those needs…

society?

can place in employment and the
prices received for those resources,
determine their income.
34. How can I increase my value or worth in
the workplace?
- Realistically, a person’s value or worth
increases due to his educational
attainment, special skills and abilities.
Also, if you possess unequaled technical

35. Utility function of children to their
parents:
◦ Increase family productivity
◦ Old age security
37. Religious Freedom right of a man to
worship GOD, and to entertain such
religious views as an appeal to his
individual conscience without dictation
or interference of any person.

righteousness.

Higit sa lahat… WE ALREADY HAVE THIS
PROGRAM, WHY PASS RH BILL?

40. Article:
Free Birth Control Cuts Abortion Rate
by 62 Percent
Stephanie Pappas, LiveScience Senior
Writer
Date: 04 October 2012 Time: 05:00 PM
ET
Providing free, reliable birth control to
women could prevent between 41
percent and 71 percent of abortions
in the United States, new research finds.
42. The RH bill would cause much higher
prices of commodities and health care
products in the Philippines.
Singapore‟s PM Lee Hsien Loong to PH‟s
Malthusian Economists and Intellectuals:
„You Got it All Wrong, Stupid!‟
A number of Asian nations achieved
economic growth, not by curbing their
population, but by adopting sound free
market economic policies.
THE VINCENTON POST
43. Sotto is Right, „Overpopulation‟ in PH
is a MYTH!
But there is no correlation between
economic growth and poverty reduction,
or between overpopulation and poverty
44. A Heated Conversation With a
Population Control Freak: The Main
Cause of Pop Growth are Repressive
Economic Policies!
UP Economists‟ RH Paper =
Emotionalism Plus Anti-
Intellectualism
45. The Philippines is poor because of its
protectionism, regulations and failed
welfare and economic policies that
discourage both local and foreign
investors. It is poor because of our high
level of corruption due to our highly
intrusive political system. The only key to
economic growth is economic freedom or
liberalization, not population control
policy.
46. Are You Ready for Higher,
More Taxes?
Killing RP‟s Industry and Small
Business with the RH Bill
Filipino People Need Jobs, Not RH!
47. 1. “The RH bill is a foreign-dictated
policy.”
◦ “Sino sila para magdikta sa atin?Hindi tayo gaya
nila na iba ang pagpapahalaga sa pagbubuklod-
buklod sa pamilyang Pilipino at pagpapahalaga
sa buhay ng tao.”
2. “RH backers are of doubtful character.”
US Agency for International Development (USAID),
United Nations agencies, and the International
Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) as the main
global forces behind the measure.
Here are the RH bill‟s 7 deadly
sins, according to Sotto:
48. 3. “Eleven mothers DO NOT die of
childbirth everyday.”
49. The RH bill is a marketing tool for
contraceptives.”
◦ “Aba ang galing ano?Gagawa ka ng demand
for contraceptives, tapos ikaw ang magsu-
supply ng solusyon. Magandang ideya sa
marketing pero hindi sa paggawa ng batas.
Sana „wag nating gawing pain ang ating bansa
sa ganitong pag-eeksperimento.” (the
Dharmendra Kumar Tyagi (DKT),)
50. 5. “The RH bill may be promoting a
super race.”
◦ “This is what they call eugenics: If you are
weak, useless, uneducated and poor, you have
no right in this world. In other words, what
eugenics wants to happen is to have birth
control so that those left behind is only a
superior, intellectual race.”
6. “Passing the RH bill now will legalize
abortion later.”
51. 7. “Local NGOs get millions to push
for RH.”
