Our country Philippine are overly populated. On the national statistic record of 2007 the population counts was 90 million ,and it reaches to 91 million. This only mean a million is added in one year time. This growth rate is not so fast,because women her are practicing family planning by limiting their number of children.
Couples here were encourage to attend seminar on how to plan a family.In one week seminar every kind of artificial contraceptives are introduce. Pills, condoms, iud,and injectable,tubal ligation,vasectomy, and the natural method. Government even alloted budget for the program.
Parents who used pills, condoms,iud, ligation, vasectomy, injectable, have less children . Lesser are two and the most have five.Compared to those who don’t use any,the lesser are five the most are sometime are more than ten. This really a big help, couples have a choice on what number of children they want to make.
God really gave the intellect’s to a person who discover the formula of making contraceptives. These stuff really minimize the rapid growth of Filipino population. Saving the country of producing more under nourish, unschooled and street children.
But the stand of the catholic church here is condemning the used of artificial contraceptives. The leader of said congregation boldly declare , that using the stuff is against the will of God. It is often times tackle during sermon. Accordingly this will also lower down the morality of the youth as they tend to practice premarital sex without fear of getting pregnant. This claim is clearly denial to what is real.At this point of time where pirated dvd and cd tapes readily available in any urban street in the Philippine, no question if it suit for the young audience. Of course the young can have all the for adult tapes they wish to watch .
Now if we are going to tell our young adult that practicing safe sex is sin.The youngster will be in a mess as they are the one vulnerable. If this people got into trouble of unwanted pregnancy they tend to run away from the scene. As we can see lots in the news headlines fetus found in a garbage bin. Fetus wrap in a plastic bag thrown in the river or in canal. This is factual we just can not close our eyes and claim that this contraceptives are sin. All of the contraceptives are big help to minimize the misery of any human being made untimely by irresponsible individual. This is a big challenge to the church.

The issue is a challenge to all of us and not only to the church.
I think Filipinos should learn how to discipline ourselves abstain from sex if needed or “magpigil” or control the natural way.
I have read in a survey that Pinoy couples usually do it thrice a week.
