Reproductive Health- A big deal.

    Recently, the Philippine President Benigno Aquino was invited as the Commencement speaker of the University of the Philippines. And in his speech, he shared his view of the Reproductive Health Bill and gave his support on the bill. And as expected the Catholic Church opposed with the president's statement. However, Mr. Aquino stood firm upon his statement and said that he would be ready to face the challenge of excommunication due to his support for RH Bill.
   Along with this controversy, many members of the House of Representatives gave their insight about the latest development for the said issue. Many of them thought that it was a good news to hear because with the pursuance of the bill, the country would no longer face the issue of HIV Epidemia, Irresponsible Parenthood and Informal Family Planning.

    As for my opinion, this bill should really be properly dealt with because it involves national and spiritual aspects. We may say that Mr. Aquino was very brave of his conviction. Well I guess, he really is, and I support his stand. I believe the real reason of his support for RH Bill is to really promote Responsible Parenthood and to really keep the Filipinos away from penury and misery. Admit it, because of the growing population, our country could no longer afford to give the rest of the citizens a good life. And by the RH Bill, we don't  promote abortion but we would love to post a warning to others that it is not always good to just enter any sensual activity without thinking of the supposed outcomes of what you would do. I guess, with RH Bill we would just drive any Filipino away from any unnecessary disease that an unclean sexual activity may post unto a person.

  However, the representatives and the president should also consider the stand of the Catholic society for always it would be the citizens decision on what would be the outcome of a certain issue. If they are not in favor of it, let them be. Sooner or later if realization comes, any decision that they have with them has the possibility to change.

  Above all, we should just leave all the rest to God's hand. He will surely provide an answer.
