Population Explosion in the Philippines

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Aside from the worldwide oil crises, our country is being concerned today with the tremendous growth of the number of Filipinos being born each day.

The church is very strong on their stand against artificial method while many are saying that natural approach is not effective anymore.

Both parties are just concern about the welfare of families here in our country, but please let us not focus our attention on the who’s who of both parties or if what method is proper but instead on the real issue.

Economic Stability

Having a bigger family is not against the any law. Big or small family can always be a happy family, were the love and support of each member is abounding as long as the economic situation of the country is stable.

Provided that the economic situation of the country is good and both parents have a steady source of income and which can suffice to provide all the needs of their children and their self as well.

Respect Children’s Rights

It is the right of each child to enjoy life to the fullest; it is their right to be love, happy and to be well-cared.

No one has the right to take the life of an innocent just because you cannot support these needs. Respect their right, before trying to bring out a new life in this world be conscious enough and respect the rights of the children.

Reproductive Education

Proper education is always a better method. If both parents are aware of their reproductive health and well educated about the different methods of family planning, they themselves can choose and plan the best method for them.

Respect for Woman

Above all, it is just all about respect! It is very dangerous for  women’s health to give birth several times and each pregnancy is both full of joy, pain and danger. So, please respect that and same goes for women respect yourself and don’t let your man abuse his right to your body.

RECYCLE, RECYCLE AND AVOID CANCER

bottled waters

To help Mother Nature recuperate itself it is good to recycle, recycle and recycle and recycle some more… But to stay away from Cancer, avoid recycling used plastic bottles in drinking water. Why? Because according to studies, chemical released by plastic water bottles can cause cancer (It is not the water that affects you but the chemical released from the bottle)

How to avoid:

  1. Check the bottom of the bottle there should be a triangle sign and there will be a number on it.
  2. If the number is higher than or equal to 5 –> then this bottle is safe to use. 
  3. Numbers under 5 will release the chemical. For most bottled water, the number is 1. So stop REUSING those bottles. 

  Recently a text and internet message is circulating, saying that it is most dangerous for us women to drink bottled water left in the car because this has been identified as the most common cause of the high levels in breast cancer. The doctor said that the heat causes toxins from the plastic to leak into the water and they have found these toxins in breast tissue. Use a stainless steel canteen or a glass bottle when you can!!! 

recycle numbers

WHAT WE SHOULD KNOW:

  • The numeric codes that you see on many plastic items are used to help sort post-consumer plastics for recycling purposes.  
  • Different types of plastics are sometimes referred to as “resins” and the numeric symbols are known as “Resin ID Codes.”
  • Each number (1 through 6) signifies a specific type of plastic and usually appears inside a small triangle (often formed by three adjoining arrows) imprinted on the bottom of a plastic item.
  • The number “7” is used to represent a group of other plastics or combinations of plastics.
  • Resin ID codes are not intended to provide guidance on the safe or appropriate use of any plastic item and should not be used for this purpose.
