As long as the Catholic Church has considerable influence over the people and politicians, having any form of birth control or contraceptives in impossible.
So we should see poor couples to have 5-10 children.
Depends on where you look. We just have too high a population density in the urban areas like Metro Manila.
And then the other side of the problem is often a big extended family is relying on a single income earner. Not a good formula to raise oneself out of poverty or raise one's social status.
It has it's merits. But how do you enforce such a policy? Forced sterilization of both husband and wife upon having the 2nd child?tama kaya ipatupad ang 2 child policy?
Just advertising condoms and letting the people access to condoms is already a big political problem. Having a proper family planning program? Not likely if we keep on going like the government has been in the past. No political will, no future, no growth.at yung family program etc etc?![]()
Sa Pinas....bakit kasi, kung sino pa yung mga naghihirap, naghihikahos sa buhay, yun ang marami anak? Pansin ko yan sa mga squatters, or yung liblib na lugar sa mga provinces.
Sir, lack of formal education is one of the contributing factors why poor people has more kids.
Another is lack of health teaching on the benefits of having minimal kids.
Lack of political will, church interference, partisan views regarding family planning are also contributing factors on our booming population.
I think their thinking is the more kids they have the more chances that one of them will hit jackpot and somehow alleviate them. Of course I tend to disagree with it. I would rather have one kid and put all my resources into and IMo will yield a higher chance of jackpot.

Their children are their only way out of poverty
out of 8 or 10 kids... maybe 1 or 2 could hit the jackpot and pull the whole family out of poverty
one of them could marry rich or make it big abroad
or maging artista
one of them could turn out to be good in business... or politics
it's a long term bet for the poor
they make babies, raise them, and hope that in the future their bet pays off
haha
i posted the above before i read tidus' post
pareho pa term na ginamit namin
"jackpot"

"Jackpot" theory?
A part of me would like to jump into that conclusion but I've always thought it was lack of education.
Or maybe they're just making sure that one of their children will take care of them in old age unlike middle-rich income families who can afford helpers.
We'll never know unless we walk in their shoes.
second thoughts about the jackpot theory...
poor, uneducated people arent known to be forward thinking
making long term bets require forward thinking
if they are not thinking about the future and they keep making babies, that means they simply don't care about the consequences of having *** without contraception
it's classic pinoy bahala na attitude
bahala na pag nabuntis
they're horny, they have ***, they don't care what happens 9 months later
people like that do not plan to have a babies
they just have babies
it's biological instinct
Parang lotto iyan,- iyong pinagbilhan ng buong araw, itataya sa lotto at baka maka-'jackpot'.....
Act of desperation....

We all must consider that for many of these people having babies are not the result of a deliberate and informed decision. In many cases, the lack of things to do in the evening is what make couples to do their thing hoping to while away the time. So one may say many babies are borne out of boredom. Even with the TV now readily available to them, most of the programs and ads tend to incite or excite them towards the same pre-sleeping activity.
Had they been educated more about their physiology and not been encourage by pro-lifers tendency to go for quantity rather than quality of life, people might be inclined to opt for a more responsible way of doing the same thing.
hindi poulasyon ang problema satin, korupsiyon!
mayayaman lang ng yamayaman.. puro kurap, matira tanga.. un ang buhay satin
kung walang korupsiyon. walang over population
corruption indeed is the biggest problem the country is facing today. i think di pa naman tayo ganun ka over populated unlike other countries, pero patungo na nga lang doon if walang control ang mga tao.![]()
I think we are overpopulated in relation to our resources and land space. Japan too pero laki naman ng niyaman nila sa atin...

RP is #12 but our country is really small geographically...
In my opinion, the biggest problem is....
Pinoy Culture!
