I've been to Pinas. If anyplace needed fewer kids, it's there. The Catholic Church, as usual, has lowered the standard of living in that country to starvation by prohibiting any form of birth control.
I'm not kidding when I say "starvation" either. Rice used to be an export crop in Pinas. Now, the population eats every grain that's grown and wishes it had more. Many families eat nothing but rice and fish...and the fish are smaller than goldfish.
The female population, past school age, is lucky to get work of any kind. Failing that, they fall into prostitution, either in their own country or as "exports" to other countries for the sex trade.
So, if the government has figured out a way to lower the birth rate, more power to them.

When I came here to live in 1992, there were, "officially", 62 million people.
13 years later in the 2005 consensus, there were, "offically", 85 million people, an increase of around 40% in 13 years.
Anyone with a brain can understand that this country cannot support even this amount of people.
There are no jobs, the fish stocks are now so low as to border on non-existent, 90% of the forests have been destroyed, 85% of the reefs have been destroyed, 80% of the population lives on less than 100 pesos a day, the working population spends most of it's small 8 hour working day playing with telephones or walking back and forth to the staff canteen, major international companies with branches here now carry no stock, everything has to be ordered due to zero confidence in the purchasing community, etc etc, the list goes on and on, and the only reason for this is:-
The catholic church!
All around the World in the tropics, anywhere the Spanish colonised and the catholics were involved, there is the extreme poverty normally only found in the African sub-continent.
All unwanted kids should be dumped on the steps of the nearest church so that the morons who keep you all in poverty can start to repair the massive social damage they have done to half the Worlds' population.
A family should consist of a mother, father and the amount of kids that those parents can feed, clothe and provide good education for, and that's enough!!!
How can a man earning 100 pesos a day feed, clothe and educate 10 kids, he can't.
When that antiquated, child molesting, edict proclaiming, bullshit organisation relaxes it's unbearably stupid laws on procreation or the ability to remove said procreation from the act of love, then maybe poverty in this and other catholic nations will end.
Until that day, good luck, grow up and ignore the stupid morons who tell you to produce more and more little people to provide money for the richest corporation on Earth, coz that's what it is...........

The birth rate (to my knowledge) has not decresed according to the WHO. In addition, the Asian World Development Bank has stated that the high birth rate is such that infrastructure cannot keep up and it will only get worse. How is the government involved in the birth rate? They are still not getting the information for family planning out there. Again, the WHO has found that the number of babies a woman has versus the number she WANTS is one of the largest in the world. The birth rate here is two times that of Vietnam and four times that of Thailand. I have not found any evidence that is is decreasing. Article in the Inquirer stated that the population would double in the next 30 years.

Focus on the positive side of the birth rate. As you already know Philipines is over populated as it is, there are many parents cannot even take care of themselves and have children that they cannot take care of either.

I advise everyone to pray for the Philippine Government and its decision makers. Talk to God in your deepest prayers about wisdom and moving beyond poverty and national debt. Your most sincere prayer for the wisdom of government leaders should be your last hope. Put it in the hands of GOD.
