Ingon ang secretarya diha na daw motion nga ang TBN ibalhin sa pikas nga station aron makabungat na sila tanan... aron pud maila kung kinsa pud maulawan kung mamalhin ang TBN sa pikas nga station... Gitambagan nako sila paghimo mo resolution ipa change inyo address lang bahala TBN Volunteers Club, Inc. gihapon mo unya bomba mo taman taman sa pikas aron maila gyud ba... Gihimo na daw na nga motion nila... Second deliberation kong mag meeting napud...

ni-review ko ani nga thread aron di ko makatulog; kini akong nasakpan nga post, as quoted. 

uy, kun charity organization mo, ngano man intawon nga sobra pa man sa lubong sa intriga ang nahitabo ninyo?  where in h-e-l-l did charity go?  inyo pa gyong samtan?  kahibawo baya mo sa bugno sa mayor's office ug sa dyrd, mao nga some years back nibalhin ang mayor sa laing station aron makatira gikan didto.  karon mo-suggest pa gyod ka nga maoy inyong buhaton pod?  nagtukod ba diay mo ug organization nga tbn support kunohay, aron lang kamoy magbuot kadugayan? 

mora man kag niapil ug charity group kunohay aron makapanghilabot ug mangguba.  support man kaha sa tbn imong tuyo, nganong gubot man ang imong gipangita?  wa kay kalainan sa mayor nga kusog modumot.  truly very uncharitable.  admitir na lang nga naaswang ka tungod ug sapi.  kaluod.  ayaw na lang iangin ang uban. 

remember:  there was once, a mayor vs. dyrd/bohol chronicle
                ergo, mayor vs. pabe (usa ba ni siya sa naputlan ug electric connection, courtesy of the mayor kuno?)
                equals, cheers vs. the world

sayang, talawan ka nga fighter, cheers.  di ka magpaila kun kinsa ka.  mangdaot kag tawo pero di nimo kayang barogan ang imong mga punto.  ang di mailhan (bisag magpaila na lang unta ka ni pabe ug ni jelly bean kun kinsa ka) di sad angay tuhoan.  wa kay kalainan sa bahong utot nga mokalit lag hapak pero mahimong antuson kadiyot ug hikalimtan dayon.

but thanks for teaching the rest of us how to lose a fight.

Winnie Monsod video goes viral

Commenting on Monsod’s Facebook fan page, Alex Timbol wrote: “I disagree strongly with her views that to help the country, one needs to be in the country … The return on work overseas, particularly for highly trained professionals, is significantly higher than it is in the Philippines at the moment, and working overseas may help individuals to accumulate human and financial capital to effect change.”

“If you are going to help this country, you’ve got to be in the country. If any of you have ambitions of going abroad so that you can earn more, please disabuse yourself, because by doing that, you are essentially betraying the people in the Philippines who trusted you and who invested their money in you,” she told her students, whose tuition at UP is subsidized by the government.

“And if you leave the Philippines, you are at least going to try to pay back,” she said.

this is for u.p. studes to truly consider.  as for the hundreds of thousands of others in other institutions of learning, well, their studies are not subsidized by the government.  they can very well choose where they want to work and be paid for their labor's worth without feeling guilty of abandoning the country that didn't pay for their studies. ;D

Nidalikyat pagsakdip sa akong panumduman ang panahon sa akong pagkabatan-on
 diin didto sa sapa maglangoylangoy sa linaw dayon  panglaba sa  labhonon, kusokuso, palopalo, etc... ::)

nakasuway ko anig kausa pagbakasyon sa bohol.  i wish i could do it again.  

it was unforgettable.  gigukod pa gyod mig boh-ang nga nagsiyagit-siyagit, arang panagan namo, puro mi luspad.  we were told later that he was harmless.  still we refused to go back to the brook.  other people retrieved our laundry for us.  

now all i wish for is for our little daughter to experience the same thing; the fun and carefree combination of outdoor chores and bath, when working turns into frolicking and bathing means crawling among weeds without a care.  wa lay labot unta ang pag-gukod sa boh-ang.

my all-time favorite go-to phrase during bad times especially:  forsan et haec olim meminisse juvabit. - perhaps someday these things will bring their joy in remembrance. (virgil, the aeneid)

posted inside our car:  frena pro feris teneo. - i brake for animals.

my favorite latin mystery:

question:  quid est veritas? - what is the truth?
answer:  est vir qui adest. - it is the man who stands before you.

in essence, though not literally, this is the exchange of pilate and jesus christ.  a closer look at the letters of both the answer and question would give us 14 letters each, with exactly the same letters.  the answer is already in the question in other words, my eldest brother who taught me this said.  (the very same brother, now gone, who gave me my most precious violin.) :'(

#43328
ang 3 ka delegation ning nasora (2 pinoy, 1 australian) giapilan diay ug usa ka swiss player pag-abot sa russia.  way problemag accreditation ang duha ka pinoy.  lm kuno ang ilang standing, meaning local master, whatever that means.  maikog man sila nga moingon nga nm (national master) sila o im (international master) o gm (grandmaster) ba kaha, na hala.
 
ang swiss wa madawat kay wa gyod diay kataak bisag kausa ning nasora nga iya untang i-represent.  ang rule diay kay maka-represent kag country bisag di ka citizen ani basta lang nakataak pod intawon ka.  ang australian na-disqualify pod kay member diay siya sa chess federation sa australia.  ang duha na lang ka pinoy ang ni-qualify.  

ang problema kay kinahanglan a minimum of 3 players aron ang usa ka nasod mo-qualify.  tutyo sila.  di man sad sila mahatod ug balik sa chartered flight sa dubai nga sila ra, mao nga puyo na lang sila sa russia ug 2 weeks.  hayahay kuno.  kaon-kaon lang sila, tan-aw tan-aw sa games sa ubang countries.  wa kaduwa, wa say kapildihan.
 
pagbalik diri, wow, olympians na sila.  pag-uli pa gyod unya nila sa pinas, makaingon gihapon sila nga olympians sila, matod nila.  kinsa may makalalis ana.
 
#43329
gamayng istorya bahin ug chess olympians nga nagluha ug nagniwang kog kinatawa: 

matod pa, si kasparov naay gihatag nga funding sa mga nasod agig tabang aron makapadala ug chess olympians.  gipahimuslan ug tarong ning funding diri sa nasod diin nahimutang ko karon, mao nga nakapadala ug chess olympians ning nasora.  karon, as usual, naay mga pinoy diri.  kahibawo na ta, kun asa ang pinoy naa gyoy abilidad motumaw… 

ang official delegation 6, puro players (di pareha sa ato nga daghang kumbabit, hasta yaya), 5 filipinos, 1 australian.  note nga wa gyoy local.  gamay ra laging nasora mao nga way gene pool para international games.

ang ninglusot sa 5 ka pinoy 2 ra tawon kay di kaya sa laing 3 ang bawon nga gikinahanglan, mao nga ning-back-out sila.  (ang funding kay 1,000 dollars per player, ang personal bawon nga igo-igo kay 800 dollars, apil na pamalit-palit ginagmay.  wa may problema ang food and lodging sa russia kay covered na man ni.)  ang biyahe roundtrip airfare sa dubai diin sila kuhaon ug roundtrip chartered flight ngadto sa russia.

pag-abot sa russia, accreditation process una sa tanang mga chess olympic team players.

                                                                                                                            -itutuloy-

The Atheist: You go to the ground, and become food for the worms. Have a good day!

The Muslim: Sadiq (Brother), if you are a good muslim and practiced Islam, defended Islam, and took into heart the Hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH; Peace be upon him) then you will be judged by Allah Most Magnificent Most Forgiving, and be given entrance into Paradise! If Not you will be tossed into Eternal Hellfire

The Hindu: It depends on the Will of the Lord Brahma and your actions in this life. You will enter reincarnation after death. The level of rebirth depends on your goodness, kindness, and actions in the past life.

The Christian: If you believe in Jesus Christ and accept Him as your Lord and Savior, you will enter paradise. If you did not, you will burn in eternal hell fire.

Scientologists: You go to space!

The Mormon: Depending on how many wives you have, you will have your own plane of heaven!

~~

the atheist:  lucky worms.
the muslim:  paradise is reachable, after all, though hellfire isn't far behind.
the hindu:  be cruel to animals, and you'll reincarnate as a cow with brown eyes.
the christian:  amen.   
scientologists:  will tom cruise be there?
the mormon:  how about depending on how many husbands one has?

I don't do yoga and too lazy to exercise. I believe stretching exercises (like yoga) are beneficial to the body. But I don't think Christians should be chanting words they don't understand especially if it involves focusing your mind on them.

i love gregorian chants and high mass in latin.  i don't understand them either. :)
#43356

i found this simple explanation of om.  let me share it thus:

The Meaning of Om    

The ancient syllable "OM" is the shortest of the Mantras and in Indian tradition it is a word suggestive of God.

The scriptures tell us that "OM" is the planets primordial vibration from which the entire universe has arisen. All other sounds are contained within it.

It is believed that "OM" is the mother of all languages. Repetition of "OM" enables us to maintain mental and emotional calmness, overcome obstacles and enable understanding.

An analysis of "OM" as it is written in Sanskrit shows that it is made up of A, U, M and a symbol representing resonance. So "OM" has four aspects.

The first is A, a sound that comes from the belly, is formed in the open throat, and is voiced with the mouth open. As with many alphabets, A is the first letter of the Sanskrit alphabet.

The second aspect is the U, a sound that is formed in the middle of the mouth. The mouth is not as wide as it is for sounding the A.

With the third sound, M the mouth closes. The sound rises to the nasal passages, from where the resonance, the forth aspect of "OM" issues forth.

It is said that A represents the waking state, U the dream state, and M the state of deep dreamless sleep. The fourth state is the sounds in the resonance following M.

Saying "OM" is actually a form of meditation.

di ko familiar sa whole text ani nga hurim-hurim, raqz.  wa tingali ni kinahanglana sa specific practice nga akong gisunod (light meditation).  pero nigamit ug chant nga 'om' or 'aum' only to help settle the mind and body.  the letter 'm' at the end of a syllable has the most number of vibrations (or resonance) when it comes to sound, thus it's soothing.  compare it to mama, where there's no vibration because the letter 'm' is at the beginning of the syllable.  (stretch the word 'ma' and one might as well be a goat.)  i knew then that one can use any word that one is comfortable with.  one need not even use any word or chant at all.

i tried 'god'; the d has no vibration.  'father' is out of the question because of the letter r at the end, which doesn't help the mind and body 'settle down' especially when the 'r' is rolled.

incidentally, in sanskrit om or aum simply means god or creator at its most basic.  no religion is specified in the meaning, just like our 'diyos' or 'bathala' or 'god'.

#43359

it looks like another one of those conclusions about things that one doesn't know much about.  i believe this is called bias?  like bias against islam?

yoga is simply a discipline, not a religion.  it just happens to be practiced first by hindus, and buddhists to some extent, especially the meditation part.  these two happen to be wisdom religions, not monotheistic ones like christianity, islam, and judaism.

if this theologian believes that yoga as a discipline should not be practiced by christians, then should he also advice against the disciplines of tae bo, aikido or kung fu. 

i've practiced yoga and light meditation before.  i can honestly say that there's nothing in these two that are against any credo and practice of my christian faith.  far from replacing my beliefs, the practice had even enhanced my understanding of my own catholic christian religion.

it looks like mohler as a theologian has forgotten that all major religions come from the east.

more from the blogger:

If the State wants to create an enabling environment, let these natural and modern family planning methods be distributed at lesser cost.  Meaning, ask manufacturers of contraceptives to lower their prices, instead of the government procuring their products and using public money to buy all of them.

I oppose the use of public money to buy contraceptives.

I oppose using public money to distribute contraceptives.  If the bill is really about rights, then, it should likewise recognize that every right has its corresponding responsibility.  If the couple or person intends to exercise his reproductive health right, then, he should be aware that the exercise of such rights entails cost, albeit, minimalized.

Why is there no howl about this among RH bill supporters?  It is quite evident that we are not being made aware of such provisions in the bill, that the bill's proponents actually do not want to discuss these provisions simply because these are the provisions which contraceptive lobbyists inserted for their benefit.

Commercial interests are really behind the passage of this bill because this bill will surely jack up the profits of manufacturers of contraceptives.

•Global sales of contraceptives in 2008 were $9.9 billion and, with 2% growth, sales reached $10.1 billion in 2009.  This market is expected to rise at a CAGR of 4.8% and reach $13.5 billion by 2015.

•The contraceptive market is led by hormonal contraceptives with more than a 78% share. This segment was worth $7.9 billion in 2009 and is expected to increase to $8.2 billion in 2010 and $9.4 billion by 2015, a compound annual growth rate of (CAGR) of 2.8%.

•Barrier contraceptives have a smaller market share than hormonal contraceptives but are expected to grow at a higher rate. This segment was worth $2 billion in 2009 and is expected to be valued at $2.3 billion in 2010 and $3.5 billion in 2015, an 8.5% compound annual growth rate (CAGR).

If the proponent of the bill is really dead serious in his advocacy for reproductive health rights, then, let these provisions be stricken out of the bill immediately.

#43374

and this, from a blogger:

House Bill 96 or the Reproductive Health Bill and some suspicious provisions

I read House Bill 96 or " An Act Providing for a National Policy on Reproductive Health, Responsible Parenthood and Population and Development and for Other Purposes" filed by Congressman Edcel Lagman.  The bill's rationale is note-worthy of support. The bill, it seems, is all about informed choice.

What I find rather suspicious is the provision on Section 7 which provides for all accredited health facilities to provide a full range of modern family planning methods.  While the bill seeks to promote rights and an enabling environment to exercise those rights, why propose that government buy these "modern family planning methods" only and not include natural family planning methods? 

I find a provision also expressed in Section 9 to be that of the benefit of manufacturers of contraceptives.  These provisions should not be included in the bill because though government has the right to inform, it should not provide these contraceptives for free.

The government should probably encourage manufacturers of contraceptives to lower their prices instead of the State using its funds to procure all contraceptives or modern family planning methods from these manufacturers.  This will be a clear source of an anomaly since as we all know, bidding processes in our country clearly involve graft and corrupt practices.

Section 10 is also highly suspicious.  Why distribute contraceptives when it is clear in the bill that its use should only be "when needed" or "when selected or chosen by the couple.  The State does not need to distribute these contraceptives to the general population.

These contraceptives should only be given when asked by a couple, or a parent or anybody who wants to plan or rather prevent a pregnancy.

Again, Section 10 is highly suspicious because it caters to the needs of manufacturers of contraceptives.

The contentious Section 13, which mandates the compulsory teaching of sex education from Grades 5 to High school has been revised, finally. This I think, is really important.

Another highly contentious provision though, Section 18, requires that companies with more than 200 workers shall provide reproductive health services to its workers.  Or, for companies with lower than 200 workers, coordinate with clinics and hospitals.

Again, the bill's core promise is simply respect the reproductive rights of Filipinos and provide for an enabling environment for its exercise.  Why would companies provide for these reproductive health services?  If its a right, then those who want to exercise such rights, should know their responsibilities of exercising those rights and one of them is clearly, being financially responsible.
#43375

more:

Attempts to enact legislation promoting anti-family programs receive huge financial assistance and provide alluring incentives to persuade our politicians to commit themselves to their advocacy.  Foreign-funded lobby groups have been operating for more than a decade to openly advocate for the enactment of population control laws, as well as abortion-friendly laws in pursuit of the UN Cairo Conference objective of universal abortion rights.  It makes one wonder why countries with below replacement fertility rates, desperate for babies and spending huge sums of money to encourage their own citizens to bear more children, contradict themselves by spending huge sums of money to suppress our population growth.

All these are consistent with Henry Kissinger’s 1974 National Security Study Memorandum 200 entitled “Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for US Security and Overseas Interest” which identified the increase in world population as inimical to the interest of the West.   This document has been coming out in recent public debates on reproductive health policies, and is available on the internet.  Do not reproductive health advocates bow down to their impositions?  Is it not more correct to say that they are the ones imposing their policies on our country?

#43376

more excerpts from the pastoral letter:

12.  What are some experiences in other countries in relation to reproductive health and related to family and life issues?

Family and Life workers and families in the Philippines, to whom this Catechism is primarily directed, could easily and clearly see the probable goals of reproductive health and rights advocates in the country, by looking at what is happening abroad.  In some countries, school clinics are required to inform parents if their child has been treated for a minor scratch; on the other hand, the same school clinics are PROHIBITED from informing parents if their child seeks treatment for abdominal pains caused by a recent abortion.  In other places, children are required to obtain parental consent for a tattoo, but not for an abortion.

A high-ranking official of a foreign country massively funding reproductive health services in the Philippines categorically stated last April that, “We happen to think that family planning is an important part of women’s health, and reproductive health includes access to abortion.”  A local columnist wrote in November 2008 that “In Mexico City… the long struggle for reproductive health and rights culminated in the recent passage of a law lifting all restrictions on abortion.”  Many countries all over the world and the United Nations agencies work for reproductive health and rights until they have fully facilitated access to abortion.

Underlying this concept of reproductive or sexual health and rights is a view that radically separates sexuality, procreation and the complementariness between men and women.  It is a view that identifies pleasure as the ultimate goal of sexuality and reduces procreation as a function of the health care systems.  It also implies that men and women relate in temporary and modifiable unions that are a far cry from the beauty of conjugal love that is fully human, total, faithful, exclusive and open to life.

Men and women are persons before all else, and for this reason sexual behavior cannot be used only for pleasure.  Otherwise it would mean using a person simply as an object.

#43377

at this point, i'll cease and desist ( ;D!) first from posting the body parts (ugh!) of House Bill 96 to face the posts of www.tubagbohol.com re proposed Reproductive Health and Population Development Act of 2008, otherwise known as House Bill 5043, whose previous incarnation is House Bill 4110.  (both failed passage in congress.)

these are excerpts of the pastoral letter entitled A Catechism on Family and Life for the 2010 Elections (Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines, Episcopal Commission on Family and Life, December 27, 2009 â€" Feast of the Holy Family), which also covered House Bill 5043 of 2008:


11.  What is reproductive health?

The UN defines reproductive health as the state of physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity in all matters relating to the reproductive system and to its functions and processes. It states that people have the right to a “satisfying and safe sex life.”  The conjugal union is natural and proper in marriage, but in contrast, reproductive health disposes all people, including children and adolescents, to the sexual act and the freedom to decide if, when and how often to reproduce, provided that these are not against the law. (UN Cairo Conference, Program of Action).

Following this definition, if having a satisfying sex life results in an unwanted pregnancy, the mental anguish this causes will negatively affect the person’s mental and social well-being unless one has access to contraception and abortion.  This is the convoluted reasoning behind UN agencies’ insistence that reproductive health necessarily presupposes access to contraception and abortion.

Furthermore, the Reproductive Health bill (House Bill 5043), which carries the same definition of reproductive health, will penalize with one to six months imprisonment, and/or 10-50 thousand pesos fine, parents who for example prevent their grade school and high school children from using contraceptives, or from having satisfying and safe sex.  This item, along with the fact that certain contraceptives actually cause the abortion of 5-day old babies, is often ignored in supposedly unbiased and scientific surveys on the acceptability of the Reproductive Health bill.

All these are in the name of reproductive health and rights.  What about the rights of parents? And the rights of the unborn?





#43378

continued---

The experience of our Asian neighbors clearly shows that a government-funded family planning program together with a comprehensive, health-based, rights-anchored and development-oriented policy on RH and population and development are crucial components in poverty reduction programs and a sound and sensible economic policy.

We cannot address adequately the problem of poverty and its attendant manifestations of poor health, crippling ignorance, widespread hunger, continuing unemployment, scarce mass housing and threatened environment if we do not squarely address the problem of a bloated population and high and unwanted fertility. Experts all agree that sustainable socio-economic development cannot be achieved if the issue of population is ignored or addressed separately from the issues of development and poverty.

Congress should not renege on its duty to enact laws that will protect and promote the right of Filipinos to overall health and well-being and sustainable human development.

Accordingly, approval of this measure is earnestly sought.

EDCEL C. LAGMAN
#43379

continued---

This measure is anchored on the principle that everyone has the right to reproductive self-determination â€" meaning the right to decide when and how often one becomes a parent or the right not to be a parent at all.

Should a couple decide that they want to plan and space their children, the State must be able to provide them with relevant and timely information on all methods of family planning which are legal and medically-safe. Once the couple has decided on the method best suited to their needs, personal convictions and religious beliefs, then the State must once again be prepared and equipped to provide them with quality reproductive health and family planning services.

Moreover, should a woman, who bears the brunt of pregnancy and childbirth decide to become a mother, the State must be able to provide her with the services she needs for safe motherhood.

At the heart of the bill is freedom of informed choice. Neither the State nor the Church has the authority to compel the people or the faithful what family planning method to adopt. The choice belongs to parents and couples, particularly to women who have the inherent right over their own bodies.

Consequently, this bill seeks to provide the enabling environment for couples and individuals to enjoy the basic right to decide freely and responsibly the number and spacing of their children and to have the information, education, and access to safe, effective, affordable and acceptable methods of family planning of their choice.
#43380

continued---

The RH bill aims to achieve the following primary objectives:

First, it will help give parents the opportunity to exercise their right to freely and responsibly plan the number and spacing of their children. The bill is truly rights-based. It mandates the provision of all forms of family planning, both modern natural and artificial, to women and couples as long as they are legal and medically-safe, and truly effective. However, the acceptance and adoption of family planning is the option and decision of parents and couples, particularly of women.

Second, it will help improve maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition and reduce maternal, infant and child mortality. The bill is primarily a health measure. It will promote maternal and infant health even as it will help prevent the deaths of thousands of mothers and babies annually. The death of 500,000 women worldwide annually due to complications related to pregnancy and childbirth is both an aberration and a gross social injustice. In the Philippines 11 mothers die daily. The RH bill supports the attainment by the country of our MDG commitments on reduction of infant mortality, improvement of maternal health and universal access to family planning.

Third, the RH bill will give women more opportunities to finish their education and secure productive work by freeing them from unremitting pregnancies. Access to family planning information and services ensures maternal health and allows women to pursue opportunities in education and employment and thus will enhance their social and economic status and that of their families. The RH bill will help women become self-reliant and acquire self-esteem.

Fourth, it will help reduce poverty and achieve sustainable human development. It is necessary to enact a national policy on reproductive health because it is an indispensable development tool. Family planning and mitigation of our population growth rate must be allied components of the development agenda.

Fifth, the RH bill will most definitely help lower the incidence of abortion by preventing unplanned, mistimed and unwanted pregnancies which are the ones usually terminated.

Sixth, promotion of reproductive health is cost effective. It is much less expensive than the mega projects of government but has more beneficiaries. The improvement of maternal and infant health and reduction of maternal and infant mortality will generate savings for the government which could be channeled to education and other basic services. The UNICEF asserts that “family planning could bring more benefits to more people at less cost than any other single technology now available to the human race.” (UNICEF State of the World’s Children Report, 1992)

The proposed bill is pro-poor, pro-women and pro-life.  Its principal beneficiaries will be the poorest of the poor and the marginalized.  Reproductive health and family planning significantly improves maternal health and lowers maternal morbidity.  Having the ability to plan and space children will afford women more employment and educational opportunities and will significantly lower abortion rates.  The bill will also prevent infant and child deaths.  Family planning will likewise mean larger investments in children’s health and education and better health outcomes for children.  With resultant lower maternal and infant deaths and capacity for more investments in health and education, RH is definitely pro-life.
#43384
as they say, the devil is in the details.  perhaps, we may have a better grasp of the pros and cons of the rh bill by reading the details, at our leisure.  i'm posting the whole text of the bill here, in installments (because the length is intimidating, hehe).  for our reading pleasure or displeasure, according to one's leanings...

   
Republic of the Philippines

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Quezon City, Metro Manila

FIFTEENTH CONGRESS
FIRST REGULAR SESSION

HOUSE BILL NO. 96

Introduced by HONORABLE EDCEL C. LAGMAN


EXPLANATORY NOTE

When the first comprehensive version of the RH bill, House Bill 8110 or “The Integrated Population and Development Act of 1999”, was filed in the 11th Congress, the Philippines had a population of roughly 75 million. Today, 10 years later, we hold the dubious distinction of being the 12th most populous country in the world with a population of 94.3 million or a staggering increase of 19.3 million. This would translate to an annual average increase of almost two million every year in a decade.

However, it must be underscored that reproductive health goes beyond a demographic target because it is principally about the right to health and sustainable human development.

The enactment of the RH bill is long overdue because although, reproductive health has long been considered a basic universal human right, this right remains elusive and illusory for millions of Filipinos, especially the poor. Consider the following:

2.6 million Filipino women would like to plan their families but lack information and access to do so. (Family Planning Survey 2006)
   
The poorest Filipinas are still having an average of 6 children (this is almost 3 times their desired number of children). (FPS 2006)
   
44% of the pregnancies in the poorest quintile are unwanted. (FPS 2006)

Among the poorest women who would like to avoid pregnancy, at least 41% do not use any contraceptive method because of lack of information or access. (FPS 2006)
   
54% of married women do not want an additional child but 49% of them are not using any form of family planning method (2008 National Demographic and Health Survey).

22% of married Filipino women have an unmet need for family planning services (2008 NDHS), an increase by more than one-third since the 2003 NDHS.

Only 67% of all births in the Philippines are planned. The rest are either mistimed or unwanted (NDHS 2008).

Women want fewer children than what they actually have. The total wanted fertility in the country of 2.4 children is 27% lower than the actual total fertility rate of 3.3 children (NDHS 2008).

42% of women consider a two-child family as the ideal family size (2008 NDHS).

Correct and consistent use of contraceptives will prevent one-third of all maternal deaths and family planning helps prevent 1 million infant deaths worldwide (WHO and UNFPA)

Precise and regular use of contraceptives can decrease abortion rates by as much as 85% (Allan Guttmacher Institute).

Palaban nga burag bayonnaise lami ipahid sa hot bread nga init.  ;D

init nga hot bread angay ug mutter di tanto ug bayonnaise nga mas angay ug bugnaw-bugnaw nga hot bread.

Hehehe. To be honest I don't disagree with Cheers' point that TBN should be "responsible stewards" (este transparent) of donated money intended for the poor. But I suspect there is more to this than what is "blah blah'd" here in Tubag Bohol. Kung ni Rod Stewart pa, "the first cut is the deepest." Hehehehe, way koneksyon... nikanta ra god pod.  ;D


;D. my own suspicion:  cheers is an employee of the city government and had become the attack dog of a city official.

an open message for hioctane, the guy who started this thread---

dear hioctane,

the directions of the ideas that are rippling through the pages of this thread that you started are getting more and more overwhelming.  there's filipino humor and spontaneity here at their best.  it would be great if you understood every nuance, every idiom.  but that will come in time...

there's someone here who's at the top of the list of humorists.  she's unlikely to sink even in the worst of heckles.  she even seems to have managed to dodge life's punches through sheer grit.  her name's luckybelle.  something in me tells me that it would be nice if the two of you get to meet.  who knows?  with your modesty and good intentions, you might end up as the best of friends.  we all know what or who comes from the most unexpected places.

oh, i believe there's a pm (personal message) facility somewhere in this forum where you can privately communicate with luckybelle.  it's all up to you, really.  the rest is up to her.
