Filipinos are nowhere near the fastest growing population in the world. We're just No. 63 out of 232, according to the CIA World Factbook. That honor belongs to Burundi, the United Arab Emirates and Niger (not Nigeria), with growth rates close to 3.7 percent per year. So do reproductive health bill advocates have reason to push for greater access to birth control?

Well, the UAE has just 5 million people, Burundi 10 million and Niger 16 million. (Quick, where does the Vatican rank? Third smallest country or territory, with 832 people. Growth rate: zero, according to the CIA, which may be as it should be for a place teeming with priests and nuns!)

But the Philippines is the 12th largest population, and once you limit it to those, the Philippines is the second fastest growing population, after Nigeria. We're also 40 million less than them but let's remember to check back in a few years. -- http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/

tinuod, bisag unsa na lang ang ipangatarungan, both for or against the rh bill.  wa pa gyod hinoon mahinabo nga naay nasod nga naunlod tungod sa kadaghang tawo, ju.  mahibung sad ko nganong ang pangatarungan sa pro-rh bill di gyod mawala ang economic considerations.  kanus-a man intawon nahimong standard nga ang angay lang mabuhi kadto lang nga mga arang-arang ug kahimtang? 

di lang pod unta nato kalimtan ang proven fact that "man produces much more than he consumes".  in this regard, makasabot ko sa ipasabot ni bolbuhol.  it's policy for an equitable distribution of wealth, less greed, zero corruption, etc., that are needed, not a policy on who should be born or not.

pasalamat tang natawo ta, ju.  karon, kay nahimo na man gyod tang tawo, ato bang katungod ang paghukom kun kinsa pay ubang angay matawo o di?
