Dumaguete City (2 December 2005) -- More than 60 men from various sectors in the province will attend a
Male Forum on Reproductive Health on December 2, 2005 at Plaza Ma. Luisa Suites Inn, this city.
According to Provincial Population Officer Jeanette Villarubia, the
one-day forum is in line with the observation of Population Development Month this year.
The forum's keynote speaker is Dr. Jonathan David Flavier who will
discuss non-scalpel vasectomy. Villarubia said Dr. Flavier is from CMEN, a movement that aims to capacitate men on Reproductive Health.
Second District Congressman Hon. Emilio Macias II, who is also a medical practitioner, will also be one of the guest speakers to discuss reproductive health and family planning. Villarubia said the male participants are composed of twenty police personnel from the local Philippine National Police (PNP), Association of Barangay Captains (ABC) presidents and Sagguniang Bayan (SB) on Health chairpersons in 20 municipalities and some people's organizations representatives.
Some of these participants have already undergone previous trainings on reproductive health. "This is just to orient them and make them move on as allies and partners on reproductive health," says Villarubia.
The population officer said that although male participation on reproductive health in Oriental Negros is still far from being
ideal, at least more men have become aware of their role in RH, particularly men from the 7 pilot areas on the Reproductive Health program in the province, namely: La Libertad, Ayugon, Manjuyod, Zamboanguita, Dauin, Siaton, Bayawan City and Tanjay City.
