Population In The Philippines – Contributing Factors Hindering Management Of The Bloating Numbers

The main goal of the Philippine population management program is to help the country achieve a sustainable population structure, level, distribution and quality so as to empower Filipinos to acquire a better quality of life both within your family and the society at large. The population in the Philippines becomes get bigger every year by more than ten percent.

Just imagine the total number of Filipinos after twenty years or more, it is very possible that the number of Filipinos can reach a hundred million or even more. Its good thing there is this Philippine population management program that is guided by definite principles about human life, family, marriage and environment which are provided for in the Philippine Constitution and embedded in the Filipino’s cultural and religious beliefs.

Furthermore, this program has principles and values in spite of the urge to control the population growth since most people try to have more and more children without even considering the future of their every child. Once you settle in life and build a family of your own, you have to be responsible enough to bear your children and do all your responsibilities as a parent such as providing them shelter, enough food and most importantly education. However, this principles and values include the following:

Filipinos believe that a human’s life is sacred and a gift from god so people should respect the sacredness of human life as what their mothers did to their lives. This population program strictly prohibits abortion although its goal is to decrease the growth of population each year. The Philippine laws and constitution rule out abortion and will stand by this no matter what.

2. Families as the center of the entire control efforts of the population in the Philippines

A family is the foundation of all the strivings for development that is why every effort not only by the government but for all the individuals should be centered to families. Population control should be centered in families in a way of educating all couples to do a family planning at the same time as to bear their children in a sacred in nice way so as not to be one of those teenagers who become parents at a very young age to the point that some girls get pregnant at the age of thirteen.

Encouraging live in partners to get married is also one of the values and principles of population management in the Philippines since Filipinos are commonly known as morality conscious although some Filipinas nowadays are very liberated compared to Filipinas on the previous centuries.

On the other hand, to achieve the goal of attaining a sustainable population level, quality, distribution, and structure, population management program pursue family planning and seminars for youth about sexualities that implies the possible causes of early pregnancy that they might experience once they get pregnant at the very early age, this seminars for youth that is often conducted by this program implies the immorality of premarital sex and explains further the cause and effect of having sexual intercourse with someone particularly for women.

Population in the Philippines is expected to reach a hundred million based on the survey done in the year 1995 to year 2000 wherein the population increases by more than ten percent each year. So just imagine the headcount in the Philippines after twenty or more years. This program is definitely a big help to the country since Filipino people especially the youth will surely have the opportunity to have a life that they deserve to live and of course the education that they deserve to have.

The possibility to free the country from poverty and lack of education is brighter to the eyes of the youth. So, be responsible enough as a citizen and do all the rightful things so as to avoid contributing to the growth of the population in the country. Maybe some people find this fact wrong since they believe that it is natural for couple to bear a child but if you will just think positively, you will surely realize that this fact is in full favor with your family.
