Busiest maternity ward on the planet averages 60 babies a day and mothers are three to a bed:Lack of a national policy on birth control is partly blamed for the unregulated population explosion in a devoutly Catholic country where 90 per cent of the people ascribe to the religion.
Birth control is frowned upon by the powerful Catholic church but the combination of factors has led to the Philippines becoming the second most populous nation in the region after Indonesia.
With around 90million people in its borders questions are being asked as to whether the country can sustain its population rates and how to go about tackling the issue.
The government is now discussing the introduction of family planning legislation which would allow for sex education in schools, and advice on - and better access to - birth control.
The bill has public support and the backing of president Benigno Aquino III, who says it is ‘the right thing to do’, but there is strong religious opposition to the changes.
The Catholics Bishops Conference of the Philippines is openly revolting against the plans and has even threatened to excommunicate the president if he follows through with the policy.
Catholics see birth control and abortion as contrary to ‘God’s will’ that we procreate, but politicians know they have to begin to exert control over the issue.

12. Juni, Today is the 113th celebration for the Independence Day of the Philippines. Woohooo beloved homeland!
Which is also the 13th Birthday of my little brother, FRITCH boy. He was nicknamed Fritch, for Freedom. Quite unique to be a centennial baby eh. We celebrated together with the embassy and mom made some festive dishes for the home.
I’m sure I’ll see a lot of those Philippines track jackets at the mall today hahaha
[Flash 10 is required to watch video.]First time I did water rafting was in Davao (next was CDO). It was way back in high school or college. Not sure, but it was ages ago. I miss these stuff.
Being an “advocate” of challenge (a.k.a. pasaway-ness), I didn’t strap my feet in the holds in the raft. I think I also had my legs crossed at this particular rapid.
So what happened? Just watch. :)
Freedom doesn’t come cheap.
We have paid the price and we must continue to uphold it.
Never stop daring.
Never stop learning.
Never stop trying.
Never stop inquiring.
We are one with the nation in celebrating Philippine Independence Day.
