Base on the article I read, I agree of the advocates that the population control is simply not the solution to poverty. For example, there are those who ignore the fact that Malthus himself, even as he pressed for population control, stated that we cannot denigrate man's capacity ?(he called it power) to increase food supply.

Para sa akin,ang masasabi ko sa article na dapat natin muna alamin kong ano ang dapat nating gawin para magkaroon tayo ng magandang kinabukasan para sa ating mga pamilya,at dapat din tayong magkaroon ng batas para sa ating pamilya at sa bansa.Dahil para naman matutunan ang wastong paraan ng paggawa ng pamilya at dapat din huwag nating padalosdalos na magkaroon ng malaking pamilya.At sana malalaman nila kong ano ang bunga ng paggawa ng malalaking pamilya... :)

For me, dapat magkaoon ng batas ang ating bansa para sa mga gustong magkaroon ng pamilya kinakailangan nila itong sundin dahil para narin ito sa kinabukasan ng kanilang buong pamilya at mas maayos pa ang takbo ng kanilang buhay.Sa henerasyon ngayon ang ating bansa ay tudo na ang pagtaas ng mga bilihin at mas dumadami pa ang populasyon ng mga mahihirap.Sa mga menor de edad naman sana ay tigilan na nila ang homosexual at ang pagpapalaglag dahil nakakasira lamang ito sa kanilang kinabukasan at ito pa ang nagpapasira sa kanilang sarili at maaaring maaapektuhan din ang ating bansa. Dapat tayong mga mamamayan ay dapat ilagay natin sa wastong paraan o gawain ang ating ginagawa at ilagay natin na ang pagkakaroon ng isang pamilya ay hindi basta-basta lamang.

Sa nabasa kong article masasabi ko,di ba sa mag-asawa ay normal naman sa kanila na magkaroon na mga anak.Dahil ito ay bahagi ng pag-aasawa.Nasa kanila yan kung magdaragdag sila ng maraming anak.Dapat bago sila magdagdag ng anak,dapat muna isipin nila kung mabuti ba ang pagdagdag ng anak,makikinabang ba sila o makadagdag lang sa gastusin ng pamilya.Kahit na malaki na ang ating populasyon ay kaya pa naman natin umunlad sa tulong ng teknolohiya,pag-iimpok at at ang magaling na lider.Dahil na rin sa kakayahan ng tao na gumawa ng imbensyon at inobasyon at gumamit na mga angkop na teknolohiya ay magagawa natin itong paunlarin at paramihin ang produksyon ng pagkain nang mabilis kaysa sa paglaki ng populasyon.Ayon din sa nabasa kong aklat,may isang ekonomista na si Simon Kuznet ay nagsasaad na may mabuting maidudulot ang malaking populasyon tungo sa pag-unlad ng isang bansa.Ayon din sa kanya,ang malaking populasyon daw ay paggagalingan daw ng maraming lakas-paggawa ng mahalaga sa isang bansa bilang salik ng produksyon.Dapat lang daw nating pag-ibayuhin ang ating pagiging produktibo ng mga kalahok sa produksyon at ang nakakaraming bilang ng produksyon.Ang malaking populasyon din ay may negatibong dulot sa atin,ito ay nagsisilbing banta sa atin ng unti-unting pagkaubos nang ating likas na yaman dahil na rin sa mali o di wastong paggamit nito.Kaya ang malaking populasyon ay nagdudulot ng pahihikahos,mababang kalagayan sa buhay,malnutrisyon at pagkasira ng ating likas na yaman at maraming tao ang mawawalan ng hanapbuhay o trabaho.

as of now,most of asian's country are very complicated at times.Large population in one country can cause of economic problem.I was totally agree with Malthus theory that he explain about how we can control a population growth in our country so that our economy would be more succesful and repruductive.I n the side of Robert malthus he believe that a decline in population means economic growth and development.HE EXPLAIN that if we have no family planning program our country well be poor because we are to many and it cause lock production of food.And he also reffer to the anti life advocates.He include abortion it is not a good example of production and development of our country.We can get a higher incomes ang greater economic activity if we have less people in labor force.SOME people avare that poverty results in a high growth rate.While that maybe true because ignorance is associated with poverty the poorness maybe aware of the fact that many children well make there lives more miserable.As far as the program is connected,there maybe no measure more effective than making every citizen concious of the already heavy population and of need to limit the number of births.

Having a big population is not a big problem.its better to have a big population than many child abortion and it is not good to make a policy about our population growth because if we make a policy about population.How about those prignant women,they will be force to abord for the sake of our population growth.According to maltus,populationcontrol is simply not the solution to poverty.If we have a big population we have a many laborers in our countrthis maltus proposal can help our economic growth and it can control our sexual education andchild abortion.Im not agree that we are poor because we are so many maybe it will not manage well.

Para po sa akin ang masasabi ko. Kung bakit tayo mahirap ngayo. Kasi karamahin sa atin ay walang permaminting trabaho o walang trabaho.Kadalasan naman ang mga taong walang trabaho ay ang pinakamaraming anak.Ang iba naman, ang kanilang mga anak ay malnutrition. Marami na din ang kabataan ang na buntis.At karamihan din, marami na din ang nagpalaglag o itinatapon ang kanilang sanggol,dahil sa kahirapan. Kaya ang ating bansa ay kabilang sa overpopulation.

Para maiwasan natin ang kahirapan o ang overpopulated,dapat natin bigyan ng trabaho ang walang trabaho. At pagsabihan sila na hindi abusohin ang homosexual at dapat silang magkontrol.Para hindi lumaki ang ating populasyon.At dapat magkaroon ng 3child policy ang ating bansa.Para lumaki ang ating economiya dapat tayong magsikap......:-]

As for me it show that their are some reffering to the anti-life and anti-family advocates, this article states us the population policy, two-child policy,and sex education for our youth. At dito makikita natin ang maikling agenda para sa populasyon control at nagsasaad parin ito sa ating mga pilipino na huwag tayong maaring gumawa na nakakasira sa ating pagka pilipino, tulad ng paggamit ng druga, abortion, sexual abstinence, murder at magpakasal sa hindi tamang edad. At nagsasaad din ito sa isang araw ng nabubuhay pero mayroon namang namamatay dahil sa laki ng bansa, ngunit kahit lumaki ang ating populasyon ay naging maganda naman ito. Dapat natin itong pahalagahan ang ating kalusugan, kapaligiran at ang lipunan para sa kinabukasan na darating na henerasyon.

"ABOUT MONTALVAN"

refferring to the population policy,like two child policy and sex education,using uor economic point of view,it's better to use these two policies to decrease our population growth.To check our population growth millions of people living in our country today not all of theme is working.The question is that do they have jobs to help our economic situation and sustain their daily needs.There are some sayings thatwe are poor because were to many,fewer births may not mean less expenses depending on it's priorities .population control is simply not the solution to poverty of our country.The population growth program,despite thr population decline,there are some other factors that are not being adress............

In my opinion, i agree of what the author wants to stress in the article that population control or having reproductive health cannot control or solve the poverty in our country.
Though reproductive health can really help minimize the rapid growth of population. I can't imagine a country without birth control! Maybe, there will be a great chaos if there's no birth control.
Poverty, as I can say is the root of all evil, simply because many poor people who have no food for their families will sort to making crimes so that they can produce money easily.
If only our government will just focus their attention on how to solve poverty and not just to think on how to steal the people's money, then they can make a great change to our country.

In my point of view I am against in Anti-Life and Anti-Family advocates. In the present situation it is seen that even we have small population, still the income per person is small, compared to the densely populated areas the economic growth is very high and income per person is even higher.

Another fact is that the effect of curving down the population will be felt after 15-20 yrs or so, when there is scarcity in human resources. More over the promotion of artificial birth control would only lead to infanticides,murder,contraception,homo sexuality, so it is not advisable especially to the young ones like us to adopt this practice in the near future.

So much so that the catholic church is against the use of artificial birth control, I'd rather have to abide by it.

about montalvan

para po sa akin ang naiintindihan ko sa montalvan ay yung bawal talaga tayong mag pa homo sexual nakakasira sa ating katauhan at. Thomas robert malthus said that he introduce the world population out running food supply leading to decrease food per person. In the mathusian argument only the lower social classes would assume social responsibility for societalills.bawal talaga tayong mag pa abort kasi nakakasira sa ating katawan.

para sakin hindi ako sang-ayon dahil dumadami na ng dumadami na ngayon ang nag hihirap,lalo na ngayon na tumataas na ang mga bilihin.Unang naaapektuhan dito ang ang mga mahihirap lalo na ngayon na marami ang walang trabaho,marami ang magugutom,marami ang maghhihirap,marami ang magkakasakit,lalong lalo na ang mga bata magiging malnourish na sila,minsan manglilimos nalang para magkapera man lang at maka bili ng pagkain.sana namn alisin na ang VAT ngayon dahil una unang naaapektuhan dito ang mga mahihirap.Kawawa naman tayong mga mahihirap habang buhay magtitiis sa hirap sa gutom dahil sa EVAT nayan.Paano na ang mga mahihirap kung magpapatuloy ang curruption dito sa ating bansa.Hiling ko lang sana wala nang maghihirap sa ating bansa.

Para sa akin, hindi ako sang-ayon sa artikolong ito dahil dumadami na ang populasyon ngayon at tumaas na ang mga bilihin ng mga produktong pagkain at iba pa. Ang higit sa lahat ang mga kabataan ngayon ay hindi na katulad noon na nag sisikap, at nag-aaral ng mabuti, ngayon ay nag palaboy-laboy nalang sa kalye at gumagamit na sila ng mga hindi tama sa kanilang edad tulad na pag-segarilyo at pag-iinom ng alak.

About Montalvan

KRIS-CROSSING MINDANAOThey’re at Malthus again
By Antonio J. Montalvan IILast updated 01:19am (Mla time) 07/10/2006
Published on page A15 of the July 10, 2006 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer

I AM REFERRING TO THE ANTI-LIFE AND ANTI-family advocates who seem not to run out of clever ways to insert their Western-based agenda into every conceivable legislation they can think of. Now they would have 21 bills of various concerns consolidated into an omnibus law covering reproductive health, population policy, two-child policy and sex education for the youth. Of the bills, at least three promote the use of artificial contraception in the guise of promoting “women’s health.”

These advocates have turned a valid societal concern into a euphemism for their real agenda-population control. If they really want to address women’s health, why is there no attempt to include Senate Bill 319? The bill seeks to ban abortive drugs and devices. The bills exclusion gives away outright the sinister intentions of the advocates.

The basis of their arguments of course, is the erroneous belief that a decline in population means economic growth and development. Thomas Robert Malthus was an English demographer from 1766-1834. It was he who introduce the rather pessimistic principle that foresaw the world’s population out running food supply, leading to decrease food per person.

To check population growth, Mathus advocated, among other solutions, what we called “moral restraint and vice.” This population control strategy called for the late marriage and sexual abstinence; but is also advocated infanticides, murder, contraception and homosexuality. But there’s the catch in the Malthus proposal: these solutions would apply only to the poor and working classes. In the Mathusian argument, only the lower social classes would assume social responsibility for societal ills.

Since then many have misinterpreted Malthus, even overlooking other aspects of his argument. For example, there are those who ignore for the fact that Malthus himself, even as he pressed for population control, stated that we cannot denigrate man’s capacity (he called it power) to increase food supply.

Those who do cling to Malthus’ theory up to this day misinterpret not just for his thought. In there vain desire to adopt the western culture of licentious behavior in the name of freedom and self-determination, they have put up their own smokescreen to keep them from seeing a succession of various scholars and students that have effectively debunked Malthus since 1960’s. At least one such study, published in 1966, was not only a pioneering initiative at that time; it gaves its proponent a Nobel prize honor. Since then, up until 1990’s and the present, a progression of other studies has only pointed to the emerging reality: there just is no population bomb.

Not only that, countries that have been lured by the Malthusian myth into running a “successful” population program now have to address the grim reality of diminishing human resources. Japan, Germany and Italy are now in the throes of the so called “ demographic winter.” The governments of Russia, Singapore, South Korea, and Bulgaria are now offering incentives to encourage childbearing in the attempt to curb population decline.

Yet here in the Philippines, anti-life advocates-usually pikon when criticize despite the fact that they have access to the legislative powers-that-be-cling to an out-of-touch, outdated and archaic thinking that even their Western gods have failed to prove in their respective countries. The advocates seem not to hear the alarm bells ringing in countries where the demographic winter has set in, countries that are now repentant at having toyed with Malthus theory.

Why the recalcitrance on the part of our anti-life advocates? There clearly a colonial agenda here that is tied to Western purse strings. These agenda-makers may not be obtrusive with their presence. It is even possible that some advocates are aware of them or have not yet notice them. But I won’t be surprise if there lurks in the shadows such anti-life giant octopuses as Planned Parenthood, whose tentacles may have spread far and wide to influence Philippine legislative efforts.

Population control is simply not the solution to poverty. The Philippine population control program, in place since the 1970’s and funded by billions of pesos of public money, has brought down the population from 3.08 percent during the period of 1960-1970 to 2.36 percent during the period 1995-2000. Despite the population decline, however, poverty incidence has not been reduce significantly. Clearly then, there are other factors that are not being address. Try curbing graft and corruption, as we expects legislators to do.

The proposed bills are premised on the belief that we are poor because we are too many. Fewer births may (or may not) mean less expense for a family, depending on its priorities. What is certain however, is that less births means less people for the labor force in the next 20 years. Higher population densities do not necessarily translate into lower personal income. We have certainly seen this in thickly populated areas that exhibit higher incomes and greater economic activity (the National Capital Region, Southern Tagalog, Cebu, Davao, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea; as opposed to Bolivia, Kenya, Ethiopia, which have lower density but also lower personal income)

Finally, when must we put a stop to the use of the term “reproductive health” which, in international forums, is simply a catch-all jargon that includes abortion; but which local advocates have repeatedly denied? The attempt to redefine a term that has become part of an all-encompassing political definition is a lame method of deceit and dishonesty.
