MANILA, Philippines - Eight-division champ Manny Pacquiao on Monday struck a blow against the controversial reproductive health (RH) bill, which will provide poor families free access to contraceptives.

Speaking to reporters, Pacquiao said Filipinos should follow the Lord's command when he said that people should "go forth and multiply."

He said that coming from a large family, he is thankful that his parents did not practice family planning.

"We all have different opinions and beliefs. I believe nowhere in the Bible does it say that we should limit the number of our kids. Unang-una, sabi ng Panginoon - go to the world and multiply. Hindi niya sinabi go to the world and multiply and just have 2 or 3 kids. Magpakarami kayo," he said.

Pacquiao, who is the congressional representative of the lone district of Sarangani, said government should teach Filipino families how to plan their families without having to promote artificial contraceptives. He said couples must learn to control their sexual urges if they plan to have smaller families.

"Bakit hindi na lang natin turuan? Kung ayaw talaga ng bawat pamilya na maraming anak pero di maiwasan, dapat ganun ang gagawin nila. Makasalanan kasi yung gagamit ka ng condom. (Kasalanan kasi) magpalalglag ka dahil hindi pwede isilang ang anak na ito. Magsakripisyo naman kayong mga lalaki. Tiisin niyo. Ay mga babae din pala. Minsan yung mga babae pa ang nangangalabit," he said, drawing laughter from those at the press conference. 

(Why not teach them? If a family doesn't want a lot of children, they should abstain. It's a sin to use a condom. It's a sin to have an abortion because you can't have a baby. You men should sacrifice. You women, too. Sometimes, it's the women who get urges.)

Supporters of the RH bill have said the proposed measure could be passed in the 15th Congress because of mounting support from lawmakers. Lawmakers and RH advocates have not seen the bill come to fruition in the last 14 years.

House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte said he wants the bill voted on in plenary to see the consensus of lawmakers in the House of Representatives.

Right on ! It would be unbecoming for mankind to evade instinct. It is a natural drive for all humans who are able to reproduce to do exactly that...to reproduce.

Why does man go to school? To get an education. Why does man need to get an education? To be able to find a job. Why does man need a job? To be able to provide resources and attract a mate. What is the underlying reason for a job and to save money? To buy a home, a place to establish a nest. Why does man need to buy a home? To raise children in.

The education acquired allows man to find a stable profession that pays well in order to provide the resources to raise his or her child in an environment that will facilitate their growth and success in life. Higher resources and a stable environment for the offspring will provide a higher probability for the offspring to succeed in life. If the offspring succeeds and mates , this will assure genetic preservation.

This, in essence, continues the genetic fingerprint of the offspring's forebears. For all time.

If you do not mate, and do not produce offspring, when you die, it is not only you who dies, but the entire genetic line of your ancestors who lived before you. Their genes die with you. They perish with you.

It is important to produce offspring. Species preservation.
