1. Our youths risky sexual behavior is from lack of knowledge and understanding of sex.

So sex education is given to young. Agree or disagree.

I agree that sex education should be given to young Risky sexual behaviors of youths
come from lack of knowledge and understanding of sex. They do it because they dont know
what they are really doing. They dont know the effects of it. They dont know the possible
outcomes like early pregnancy and sex-related diseases that will come to them when they do it.
They dont even realize the importance of it in terms of maturity level which you dont just give
in to anyone especially when theres no love. The love that you can say that it will lead you to
marriage. If possible, wait for the right time, and that is marriage. Youths should be educated
about it in a way that it will open their minds about the effects and the importance of it, and
should be done in a right way and time. They should be educated not only physically, mentally,
but also morally. In a way that they will know what is right and wrong. And not in a way that it will
only get them more curious about it that they will tend to try it. Worse. If that happen, education
is therefore meaningless, and thus, frustrating.

2. Reproduction and population issues must be viewed from all aspects of disciplines
morals, philosophy, and psychology, do you agree?
I totally agree that reproduction and population education must be viewed from all
aspects of disciple morals, philosophy, and psychology. Sex education must not only be viewed
physically like men and women simply mate. Sex education must be viewed from all angles of
discipline morality, philosophy, and psychology. Is sex moral? When is it immoral? How does it
affect the mind? Is sex really something to be thought of, or is it just like the id-thinking or doing
something for pleasure?
Also, the issues about reproduction and population especially the current issue about
RH Bill or Reproductive Health Bill. The RH Bill is becoming the cause of uproar among groups
of people: the government whod like to execute the bill, the church who is against the bill, and
of course the commoner who would be affected of the bill. Some moral issues have been arising
regarding the RH Bill. Is it accepted morally to the people of the Philippines? In terms of
philosophy, the children are gift of God that we people should therefore reproduce and multiply.
The RH Bill obviously contradicts the philosophy of God. All those who are in the church will
make a stand against RH Bill. In terms of psychology RH Bill will make you think about the
pros and cons of it. if you really follow the bill, the tendency is, there will be lesser reproduction,
hence, will lessen the overpopulation we all are experiencing. But do we really need this for us
to learn how to control our capabilities of giving life?
So it is therefore very important that the issues about reproduction and population be
viewed from all aspects. It is something that must be taken with consideration because we are
all affected by it.

3. What is your stand on this statement, Children are a gift of God? Answer this
question in relation to population education concepts.
Children are gift of God I do believe in this statement. Children in its simplest way are
a cause of joy to a person or family. Children are the innocent people wed like to remember
back of who we are. These children will be the future us. Children therefore are a gift of God.
In relation to population education concepts relating to the RH Bill that we need to
control reproduction, thus we contradict the above statement. Children are a gift of God.
Unfortunately, children become a burden to some family affecting our country as a whole
because some families have too many children in a household that they often cannot take full
responsibility of them. The problem maybe was some of those families are not educated enough
to see and realize the consequences of having too many children. They born children without
realizing that they have to give them food, shelter, education, clothing, security, and all.
Nevertheless, I am still taking a stand that children are really gift from God. I believe that the
pain and hardships you experience today raising those children, will vanish and will be rewarded
someday by none other than, our children. The gift from God will soon become your most
cherished precious, the precious children that will lift you from the poverty that you are in now.
You are not only rewarded by being lifted from poverty, you will also have the feeling of
fulfillment and happiness, that you have raised those children no matter how hard the way is.

4. Will the passage of the Reproductive Health Bill solve overpopulation problem and
improve our economy?
Yes, the passage of the RH Bill will solve overpopulation, but improve the economy, I
doubt it. If the RH Bill will really be implemented, families will have to control giving birth, thus,
overpopulation will be minimized. But to say, that it will improve the economy, that is somewhat
impossible. It is the attitudes of the people that must be fix to really improve our economy. What
if yes, we have lesser population, and some people will still stay on their homes and dont try to
get a job? What if people continue to throw garbage to rivers and seas? What if people wont
work hard and act the same that affects negatively on our economy? My point is no matter how
many or less the population is, if the people are united and obey rules, then we can all achieve
our goal to improve our economy.

5. Contradictions to the views of the Bishops and priests on RH Bill will be sinful?
Bishops and priest are against the RH Bill. They are against it because it is against the will of
God that we should reproduce. They said it will be sinful. RH Bill is sinful in a sense that it does
not obey the will of God. But I think morally, it will only be sinful if the RH Bill includes abortion
on it. Abortion is really sinful because you are going to kill a life.
