to those who are against rh bill: what is your solution to the massive growth of population? what is your solution to HIV or other sex related diseases? and c'mon wag tayong ipokrito at sabihin natin na abstain from sex... rnrnalso, rh bill is NOT THE ONLY SOLUTION to poverty, it is ONE OF THE SOLUTIONS and it will help greatly. we also need to change the mindsets of the masses na ang mag aahon sa kanila sa kahirapan ay ang mga anak nila or the government. masyado ng nasanay ang mahihirap na may tutulong sa kanila. i am tired of giving the poor everything. nasanay sila masyado na binibigyan instead of working hard for it.

kelangan naman talaga natin ang RH bill. i mean come on, maxado na tayong marami.rnrnun nga lang kaasar lang kc, they are saying na overpopulation is the cause of poverty. when we know na its the unfair distribution of wealth.rnrnkaasar din na malaman na main factor kung bat nila pinupush to is dahil may pressure and reward from pharmaceutical companies who will be the contractors of the condoms and pills.rnrnso clearly may vested interest. haha. another way para makkurakot politiko sa pinas.rnrnnot really to curb the population. that my friends is the truth.

@concerned,rnrnNope, it's no longer free as long as Fundamentalists and clerico-Fascists like you are roaming around and poisoning the minds of the hoi-polloi. Your likes constitute a threat to NATIONAL SECURITY and there fore considered anenemy of the state.Clear enough for you?
-
@ solomon, the minority is nothing but a bunch of paper tigers. They have to create noise to present a semblance of power. The survey clearly shows that the people are tired of Church meddling in purely State business.
-
I thought this is a free country? so why so mad solomon?rnrnWell I respect your decision for liking that bill so repect ours. We're against RH bill.rnrnSo rude to be that mad. Nasty words won't really help. Life is beautiful.

America america america! hindi tayo amerikano. wala tayo sa amerika. simple logic.

@marjrnrnPerhaps people fear the pat-down procedure since it might cause abortion? hihihi! Just goofin again. Aggravatingly wonderful statement you got there. :-)
-
30% who oppose is roughly the same number of Americans who disagree with the new pat-down procedures at all U.S. airports. Anti-RH = Anti Pat-Down = Oblivious or Just plain st*p*dddddd.
-
Is there an online petition for the RH Bill too? Someone please share a link to this. ^_^ I'm interested to support it!

RH Bill is not the only solution for population explosion. there's another way, blowing up the whole country is the other one. or stop promoting the RH Bill and a few decades from now, we won't be left with enough resources... please, are you blind or are just looking the other way, or just plain hypocrites?
-

Solomon, you're one big ignorant zombie! Is RH Bill the only solution you can imagine that can solve our country's problem?! you're looking at the big picture really? yes you're right, you're just staring at it, you don't look for better solutions.
-
solomon, ignorant, starving at zombie?! ganyan ba kababa ang tingin mo sa sarili mong lahi? alam kong mahirap pakainin, pakilusin at gawing productive ang milyong milyong Pilipino pero may paraan at solusyon sa problema na yon, at sa tingin ko hindi ka namin kailangan.
-
@katniss,rnrnI don't give a damn about the F---king details. What's important is the BIG PICTURE.rnAnd what the hell is the BIG PICTURE?rnTHAT 100 MILLION F---king, starving,Ill-educated, ill-housed, sickly, malnourished etc etc,FILIPINOS is EXTREMELY BAD NEWS for US!
-
very true @Solomon. we pinoys should stop being so condescending and step away from crab mentality. there are a lot of smart pinoys out there, base mo lang yan sa number of students who take medical related courses. let's try not to underestimate ourselves that much.
-
if we're not gonna act now as a nation and not support RH Bill, 20 to 40 years from we'll be worser than Somalia...rnrnThat's a pretty scary future to live in, for sure...
-
By and large, they know the implications of having a 100 million ignorant,starving and zombie Filipinos. That's good enough for me.
-
Unfortunately, majority of the 69% doesn't really understand and know the contents of the RH Bill. very sad truth.
