they sleep under the bridge because they cannot afford to send one child to college or they are children of a poor family who cannot afford to pay rent. When a stomach is hungry, the brain lacks the blood supply and nourishment to think of what kind of life a person may live. A demented brain may think that sleeping under the bridge is like sleeping on a bed. This is a problem, a given problem. It’s not new. This problem is a result of poor governance. That’s exactly the purpose of a public servant-to provide employment and income to every filipino including affordable education and scholarhip to the poor. Overpopulation is also a result of poor governance and poverty. When people lacks the entertainment option, the basic thing they can do is to engage in sex. It’s free and better than anything else.. lol

Thanks for the comments, guys. Instead of wasting any more time writing articles like this (and replying to comments) I’m going to start working on something more concrete. I’ve already done as much research on this as someone in my position (amateur) could, and I’ve already heard the counter-arguments from you guys, which has also helped my understanding (again, thanks a lot). But now I’m bringing this to the pros. The next time I post something here it will be news about the concrete steps we are taking to start the fight for secularism. Raising awareness is no longer enough. It’s time to take this to court.

RH bill or NO RH bill may not matter. Majority are just too illiterate to understand the advantages and disadvantages. They may understand the basic theory but in practice, pinoys in majority lack the proper education , exposure and foundation BUT they are all manageable. they all can be manipulated due to ignorance of the law even your own representative in Congress can be very ignorant of the law. Good Governance is lacking among the many politcians of this country. Even if the RH bill will pass, there will be problems of implementation and distribution. Basic public management must be working properly first.
The cities may be a little advance in technology and process but the provinces are represented by backward regulators and implementators.

In order for any policy and new legislation to work, a centralized vision and mission of policy and procedures must come from the department heads, trained the sub level including the very bottom .. the barangay kapitan. Too bad the heads of many departments are also backward to manage our people. A good example is Comelec head , Dep-Ed head… and many executive heads of this country. Its frustrating to see a country full of hope becoming hopeless. Replace those stupid people in politics.

To move a country forward and faster, majority must be a college graduate. At least one in every household of 5 members must have a college degree.

“Stop CBCP Politicking Now!”.

I want CBCP to step aside as many United Nations Millenium Development Goals initiatives on educating the 16-and-older about reproductive health, condoms and public health issues are put in place.

I do understand that it is Roman Catholic Church religious beliefs that is the basis for their opposition to abortion, condoms/IUDS.

Illegal if the CBCP hands out bribery money to candidates or mayors/congressman/others; illegal (to me) if the CBCP puts posters or hands out literature — “Elect NoyNoy” or “Elect Jamby”; illegal (to me) if candidates give bribes to priests and bishops so that the candidate receives endorsements.

Other CBCP actions like them expressing disapproval of the Reproductive Health bill because they believe that section-this or section-that will support abortion or condoms — that is Catholic religious beliefs. Ryan Tani and a whole lot other Filipinos can object to the Catholic religious beliefs about condoms or ReproHealth bill. To pass laws to stop CBCP, though, is for the state to mess up with church/state separation.

To stop CBCP is to give more censorship powers to Malacanang — dangerous!!!

Tama ba ang legal parlance mo Ryan sa tax exemption status ng CBCP? Hindi naman sila exempted sa VAT at Income Tax ah, sa Real lang, and I think you have a weak interpretation of “exclusivity” especially in light of Herrera vs. Q.C. Board of Assestment Appeals, 3 SCRA 186. :)
