		<description>Here are some of the potential consequences of the passage into law of the Reproductive Health (RH) Bill (HB O5043) which have dawned upon me; to wit:

1.0	 BIG BUSINESS, BIGGER MONEY. If RH Bill passes into law, condom suppliers may earn from the Philippine government (which will be mandated to distribute free condoms to 4.9 million youth aged 15-27), PhP 2.548 billion every year. (Or 4.9 million youth times 1 sex act per week times 52 weeks per year times condom usage of 1 piece per sex act times supplier’s price of P10 per piece of condom.) The assumption of a youth engaging in sex at the average of once a week, I am afraid, is in order and conservative. It will be unthinkable for a young student to obey the reminder of his RH teacher or older relatives that abstinence is the most effective birth control method when that young student is aware, the government is duty-bound to provide him or her with free condom for his or her sexual cravings anytime, anywhere. Condom supply is therefore a big business if RH Bill passes into law. Nevertheless, what is bigger money is when government canvassers, signatories of purchase orders, receivers of condom deliveries, as well as check payment signatories and releasers may connive with condom suppliers to price the condom at P 100 per piece instead of P 10. The over price of P 90 per piece of condom will be distributed among the involved government officials. Therefore, due to the passage of the RH Bill, there is an opportunity for a PhP 25.48 billion condom scam to happen.

2.0	BOARS AND GILTS. These 4.9 million youth who are recipients of the government’s free supply of condoms may naturally crave for sex like animals (considering the additional enticement from the immodest mass media and the internet pornography). The young male may act like boar while the young female behaves like gilt that is in heat. This promiscuity or multiple sexual relationships, is probably just a take off point. The Law of Diminishing Extra Satisfaction (as adopted from the psychological and economic law of diminishing marginal utility) that governs pure human and animal endeavors including sexual relations will be fully operational. In other words, if sex will be a preoccupation of the Filipino youth, then the satisfaction that a young male derives having sex with female partner/s, will decrease or wane eventually. He then ventures to partner sexually with his fellow male/s to seek new level of satisfaction. He may push further by engaging in bisexual activities. But most likely he will end up as a pure homosexual. A young female may also follow the same path as she craves for sex and sexual satisfactions. She may graduate as a pure lesbian. But this scenario will not be glaring overnight. It will take a generation – ten years span. This may then translate to the need of a new advocacy – to support the passing into law of the bill on same-sex marriages and divorce in the country.

3.0	POPULATION REDUCTION. The ultimate aim of RH Bill, I understand, is achieving economic prosperity (particularly for the poor) however through population reduction approach. In case the RH Bill is passed, its success will be measured therefore by, among others, whether its respective population reduction target (PRT) is attained. And the critical factor in attaining PRT is the effective distribution and use of condom of the 4.9 million Filipino youth in particular. Effective means here, making a condom available for free, on demand of the youth, either male or female, anywhere, anytime. As mentioned above, this will cost the Philippine government, PhP 2.548 billion every year. If  the government will have limited or doesn’t have that amount of taxpayers’ money (for condom purchase and distribution) then the full attainment of the PRT will be jeopardized. Thus RH Law may prove to be ineffective to reduce population in the country. If this is the case, other population reduction measures or Bills will be therefore sought. So there will be a future need to support for the passage into law of Pro-abortion Bills as well as of Pro-euthanasia Bills.

So then, to all the RH Bill advocates, if your support for the passage into law of RH Bill (which may lead to additional opportunity for corruptions in the Philippine government, to transformation of the Filipino youth as homosexuals and lesbians, to eventual murder of unborn babies and to future mercy-killing of senior citizens, etc.) makes your Mama proud of you, then go full speed ahead of your RH Bill advocacy. Otherwise, please resign as a RH Bill supporter and lobby harder for our legislators to vote against RH Bill.</description>

		<description>Let us not be hypocrites, it&#039;s already a reality in our country that the age of sexually active people are getting younger.

Information on making intelligent choices would be more beneficial. 

Population is not the problem in our country? the mere look at the number of people who are out of jobs already bring about such fact that we are indeed in a crisis.

The probability of a graying population? It doesn&#039;t mean that if something could happen, it will happen. THe bill upholds to regulate the population problem. It doesn&#039;t even impose on the people to have a limit on the number of children they would have. It informs the people to actually be responsible on having children.</description>

		<description>Hi,

I went to the RH conference yesterday in UP Manila. 

I caught Lagman saying something not contained in the bill.

&quot;Private Schools in the Philippines can opt not to follow the amendment. They can choose if they want to teach sex education or not to, it will be their loss.&quot;

Why is he saying stuff not in his bill? Does he have to do that just to answer a question of 
UP Manila medicine student? Does he also say things in other forums not contained in the bill? What&#039;s that?</description>

		<description>I just have to put this somewhere, it&#039;s a reply to the comments here
http://www.mercatornet.com/articles/view/the_filipino_front_in_the_culture_wars/P0/

Unfortunately the discussion is already closed.

___________________________________________________

DJB,

Do you believe in heaven?
or in hell?
I hope in both.

Don&#039;t tell me just because you idolize Rizal then it&#039;s still fine if you get excommunicated. We don&#039;t know where Rizal ended up. Correct me if I&#039;m wrong but from my history classes, Rizal implied in one of his books that if God is really merciful, then He wouldn&#039;t allow so many people to go to hell. Good one, but still, no one knows.

I have been joining these discussions on the internet for more than a month now. I had my own post on this.
http://kaiserfernandez.wordpress.com/2008/09/21/reproductive-health-bill/
I tried to discuss starting with family, relationships and God, but some people didn&#039;t want to argue because some claim that when God enters the equation, you can never win. So I then had to discuss using social consequences, economics, politics etc.

In the end I had my PERSONAL CONCLUSION with the youth nowadays. I got this from observing people in facebook. There are far more people joining the &quot;I SUPPORT RH..&quot; than &quot;I OPPOSE...&quot;
One reason could be as a JUSTIFICATION FOR THEIR ACTS.
Controlling your body is no joke. Everyone has to struggle. When I say everyone, I say everyone. There are people who really think that premarital sex, contraception, abortion etc. is normal and there are those people who know they are wrong but still continues to do/use them because they have become slave to their bodies. The latter has already accepted that there&#039;s no way they can control their tendencies, so the only thing to do is find a way to justify their acts and that is supporting what they deem would be in line with their cause.

Honestly ask yourself if you have become a slave and just finding ways to justify your actions. Don&#039;t tell me the Church is meddling in your affairs. If what the Church demands is easy, simple, fun  and requires no sacrifice, (pointing to abstinence, chastity) then VIRTUE would have never been formulated.</description>

		<description>What&#039;s wrong reasoning against the bill using religion as a standpoint? most filipinos are catholic, and just in case you&#039;re catholic and stand for the bill, then you ought to admit it-- unlike that bastard edcel lagman--that you are contradicting Church teachings and thus are unfaithful Catholics (grounds in itself for excommunication). Let&#039;s stop pretending and reasoning out with all sorts of excuses, because the issue here seems to be pre-marital sex, long condemned by the Church as sin, and your little member dangling between your thighs can control your whole being and really get you to wax eloquent about how PMS is normal and not a moral issue. Please cut the crap, unfaithful Catholics.

The faith is not a turo-turo, wherein you choose only the beliefs you like. You either take it all down, or none at all. Stop diluting the purity of the Church. Go join the Born Agains, faggot-christian churches, or some other dudes who stand for free choice and all that crap.</description>
