Doctors’ group warns of falling Phl fertility rate | Headlines, News, The Philippine Star | philstar.comDoctors’ group warns of falling Phl fertility rate
By Mayen Jaymalin (The Philippine Star) | Updated February 17, 2017 - 12:00am
MANILA, Philippines - A group of doctors called “Doctors for Life” has called on President Duterte to slow down on the government’s reproductive health (RH) program, warning that the country’s population might already be dangerously aging, as Filipinos’ fertility rate continues to drop.
The Supreme Court has yet to lift a two-year-old restraining order on the RH Law, specifically the government’s distribution of contraceptive implants.
In a letter to the President, the group said the country’s national fertility rate has fallen from eight children to less than three in a span of over 50 years, and this could spell problems for the Philippines in the future.
“There is no reason to believe that this trend will not continue, with or without contraceptives, because it is a result of rural to urban migration and educational and employment opportunities for women, not contraception, which inevitably includes abortion,” the group said.
“The greater danger is that it will proceed to below replacement level, as it is already in most of the world. Its population has grown too old to sustain the transition to a fully developed status,” it added.
According to Doctors for Life, an aging population brought about by below-replacement fertility could also affect the social security programs, which can become unsustainable as many countries in Asia and Europe are now experiencing.
Many countries, the group said, are now suffering from aging population and have to hire foreign workers just to sustain their economies.
“We should not make the same mistake,” the group said, as it urged Duterte to look for other measures to address the problem of poverty.
The group claimed the RH Law violates the Constitution and could put the lives of many women at risk.
RH proponents point out that access to reproductive health services can in fact discourage women and teenage girls from resorting to abortion.
The country has committed to achieve UN Millennium Development Goals on universal access to RH services.

February 18th, 2017 02:38 PM #7Pa check-up sila for ovarian cysts. Kami ni misis matagal bago nagka 2nd child. When she got pregnant, during one of the ultrasounds, nakita na may kasabay na ovarian cyst. Fortunately, hindi naka-impede sa growth the anak ko yung cyst. Our next pregnancy was not so lucky though because the cyst already got too large. When it was finally taken out, the doctor said it was roughly the size of a fist. Originally Posted by _Cathy_

Sandals/Crocs are also a good way to stay married to the same person. No other footwear says "I've let go of myself." 😊 Originally Posted by _Cathy_

Kidding aside, fertility rate has a lot to do with our environment. Our OB is a fertility specialist. She says low sperm count and most female reproductive disorders are caused by poor nutrition, stress and pollution.
You can do what you can by not eating anything processed, but most food producers also use hormones, antibiotics, etc. aside from preservatives. Plants also tend to absorb pollutants, so for that reason I don't buy any fruits from China.
A lot of people claim they grow organic food, but can you really take their word for it? Best would be to buy a piece of land you know to be clean and grow the food there yourself. Or do it in your backyard.

February 18th, 2017 07:33 PM #14Sobrang dami pa rin na teen pregnancies. Though i have many friends who have difficulty getting pregnant.
I dont agree with these doctors on their claim of low population. Theyre trying to cover the real purpose which is not to have artificial contraception.

February 18th, 2017 11:29 PM #16Philippines has IVF already? I wonder if they also have PGD for the IVF. I'd rather spend millions of pesos to have a child free of disease than spend millions curing that disease. Originally Posted by StockEngine
