The key dysfunction of the RH Bill ‘debate’: leaving out the ‘being’ from the ‘human’ equation The irony here (which I suppose I should spell out, this being a blog frequented by Filipinos), is how the Church and its “devout” minions who framed the 1987 Constituion in the midst of huffing and puffing about the “sanctity” of “human life” seem to have left out an essential ingredient of the essence of what sets us apart from the rest of “God’s creations,” — that of our being sentient, self-aware, BEINGS.

Population has everything to do with the progress of a nation -- specially so in the Philippines where, on the average, every baby born is a liability rather than an asset to society. Indeed there "vast tracts of land barely touch" over the entire islands. But then why do Pinoys choose to crowd themselves in cities? It's because there is nothing out there that we can develop into productive endeavours -- at least nothing that the nonexistence imagination faculties of Da Pinoy can apply itself to. And, dude, next time try to engage in a discussion with defering to the concept of a "God". Not everyone is a believer in God and certainly not all are Catholics. Have a bit of respect for those who are of a different faith. Visit: http://getrealphilippines.com for REAL enlightenment.
