GOVERNMENT SHOULD FOCUS ON THE BEST INTEREST OF ITS PEOPLE

To share more thoughts and opinions about the Reproductive Health Bill I have started gathering what my friends and their friends think about the Reproductive Health Bill. The first friend I have asked about this matter is the Bath valedictorian of his school Reedley International School (RIS). His name is Regis Andanar.

“The Philippines does not have a population problem/Overpopulation is not a problem. A well educated and skilled population is an asset to any country. Sadly a lot of poor couples have no means to educate their kids. An uneducated people is a liability and will stress social and police services. The RH bill tries to solve this by helping poor couples manage their family sizes so that they can provide the education and time for their children.

RH bill is against the law of God. Not all agree on this. If this was a universal belief then the bill would be rejected immediately. I believe that none of the provisions of the bill is immoral by itself. Many Filipinos agree and many Filipinos do not. But anti RH people should allow this bill to be passed but continue to live your own lives as to what your beliefs allow and let others live their life as to what their beliefs allow.” (Regis, 2010)

Many would say that their strongest argument for persuading more and more people to side with them on the pro side of the reproductive health bill is that, education must be put into priority. Just like what Regis said, it could be a great advantage of our country to have more and more educated people. However, since the reason is not a lot of people in our country are not well educated they are not able to get jobs that will satisfy or be enough for them to be able to send their kids to schools that have quality education.

Our public education is a good step, however the government has yet to take plenty of steps to improve it so that we may once and for all solve the problem of the overpopulation in our country. Moreover, we will be al better as people and as citizens of this country. This kind of drastic change cannot just be carried on the shoulders of people who are willing to but a sense of synergy as a country is a must.

If all will work together in making sure that education will be put as one of the top priorities of our government then that would be a very great accomplishment of our country. Doing this will demand that people would make sure government officials get rid of their hidden agendas-CORRUPTION! We will never develop as a country if corruption will be tolerated by almost everyone in our country especially those who are in the position of doing something about it. This is very unfortunate too because if our country remains like this then there will be only little opportunities for the Philippines to get better. INSTEAD OF HAVING OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL FOCUS ON THEIR HIDDEN AGENDAS AND MOTIVES, THEY SHOULD FOCUSE SOLELY ON THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE!”
