1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The Reproductive Health bills, popularly known as the RH Bill , are Philippine bills aiming to guarantee universal access to methods and information on birth control and maternal care. The bills have become the center of a contentious national debate. There are presently two bills with the same goals: House Bill No. 4244 or An Act Providing for a Comprehensive Policy on Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health, and Population and Development, and For Other Purposes introduced by Albay 1st district Representative Edcel Lagman, and Senate Bill No. 2378 or An Act Providing For a National Policy on Reproductive Health and Population and Development introduced by Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago.

The first time the Reproductive Health Bill was proposed was in 1998. During the present 15th Congress, the RH Bills filed are those authored by (1) House Minority Leader Edcel Lagman of Albay, HB 96; (2) Iloilo Rep. Janette Garin, HB 101, (3) Akbayan Representatives Kaka Bag-ao & Walden Bello; HB 513, (4) Muntinlupa Representative Rodolfo Biazon, HB 1160, (5) Iloilo Representative Augusto Syjuco, HB 1520, (6) Gabriela Rep. Luzviminda Ilagan. In the Senate, Sen. Michael Angelo F. Perolina has filed her own version of the RH bill which, she says, will be part of the countrys commitment to international covenants. On January 31, 2011, the House of Representatives Committee on Population and Family Relations voted to consolidate all House versions of the bill, which is entitled An Act Providing for a Comprehensive Policy on Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population Development and for Other

2 Purposes. One of the main concerns of the bill, according to the Explanatory Note, is that the population of the Philippines makes it the 10th most populous nation in the world today, that the Filipino womens fertility rate is at the upper bracket of 206 countries. It states that studies and surveys show that the Filipinos are responsive to having smaller-sized families through free choice of family planning methods. It also refers to studies which show that rapid population growth exacerbates poverty while poverty spawns rapid population growth. And so it aims for improved quality of life through a consistent and coherent national population policy.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM This study aims to determine the perception of College of Business Administration (CBA) students at Capiz State University, Main Campus towards Reproductive Health (RH) Bill specifically it sought answer to the following questions: 1. What is the perception of the respondents towards Reproductive Health (RH) Bill when taken as a whole and when grouped according to: a. Sex b. Age c. Course 2. Is there a significant relationship between respondents sex, age, and course and their perception towards Reproductive Health (RH) Bill?

3 HYPOTHESIS There is no significant relationship between respondents sex, age, and course and respondents perception towards Reproductive Health (RH) Bill.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK This study was based on the concept that the Perception of CBA students towards RH Bill was affected by certain variables such as sex, age, and course. The conceptual model is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. Conceptual Framework

4 SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS The study is limited only to College of Business Administration (CBA) students at Capiz State University, Main Campus, Roxas City during the school year 2011-2012. Factors consider where sex, age, and course of CBA students. The researcher constructed the research instruments used in this study. They did not adopt ready made instrument of the study. Instead, the researcher themselves constructed the questionnaires being used to gather data. DEFINITION OF TERMS The following factors and terms on the Perception of CBA students at Capiz State University, Main Campus towards Reproductive Health Bill were operationally defined: Sex- refers to whether the respondent is male or female. Age- refers to the age of respondents whether 18 and above, 16-17, and 15 and below. Course- refers to the courses of the respondents whether BS Commerce, BS Business Administration, BS Accounting Technology, BS Business Administration (Marketing), and BS Entrepreneur Management. Perception- refers to the insight of respondents whether they are strongly agree (SA), agree (A), uncertain (U), disagree (D), and strongly disagree (SD). Reproductive Health Bill- popularly known as the RH Bill, are Philippine bills aiming to guarantee universal access to methods and information on birth control and maternal care.

5 CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

History of Reproductive Health (RH) Bill According to the Senate Policy Brief titled Promoting Reproductive Health, the history of reproductive health in the Philippines dates back to 1967 when leaders of 12 countries including the Philippines' Ferdinand Marcos signed the Declaration on Population. The Philippines agreed that the population problem be considered as the principal element for long-term economic development. Thus, the Population Commission (Popcom) was created to push for a lower family size norm and provide information and services to lower fertility rates. Starting 1967, the USAID started shouldering 80% of the total family planning commodities (contraceptives) of the country, which amounted to US$ 3 Million annually. In 1975, the United States adopted as its policy the National Security Study Memorandum 200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests (NSSM200). The policy gives "paramount importance" to population control measures and the promotion of contraception among 13 populous countries, including the Philippines to control rapid population growth which they deem to be inimical to the socio-political and economic growth of these countries and to the national interests of the United States, since the "U.S. economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad", and these countries can produce destabilizing opposition forces against the United States. It recommends the US leadership to "influence national leaders" and that "improved world-wide support for

6 population-related efforts should be sought through increased emphasis on mass media and other population education and motivation programs by the U.N., USIA, and USAID." Different presidents had different points of emphasis. President Marcos pushed for a systematic distribution of contraceptives all over the country, a policy that was called "coercive," by its leading administrator. The Cory Aquino administration focused on giving couples the right to have the number of children they prefer, while the Ramos presidency shifted from population control to population management. Estrada used mixed methods of reducing fertility rates, while Arroyo focused on mainstreaming natural family planning, while stating that contraceptives are openly sold in the country. In 1989, the Philippine Legislators Committee on Population and Development (PLCPD) was established, "dedicated to the formulation of viable public policies requiring legislation on population management and socio-economic development." In 2000, the Philippines signed the Millennium Declaration and committed to attain the MDG goals by 2015, including promoting gender equality and health. In 2003, USAID started its phase out of a 33 year old program by which free contraceptives where given to the country. Aid recipients such as the Philippines faced the challenge to fund its own contraception program. In 2004, the Department of Health introduced the Philippines Contraceptive Self-Reliance Strategy, arranging for the replacement of these donations with domestically provided contraceptives.

7 In August 2010, the government announced a collaborative work with the USAID in implementing a comprehensive marketing and communications strategy in favor of family planning called "May Plano Ako" (I Have a Plan).

Summary of major provisions

The bill mandates the government to promote, without bias, all effective natural and modern methods of family planning that are medically safe and legal. Although abortion is recognized as illegal and punishable by law, the bill states that the government shall ensure that all women needing care for post-abortion complications shall be treated and counseled in a humane, non-judgmental and compassionate manner. The bill calls for a multi-dimensional approach integrates a component of family planning and responsible parenthood into all government anti-poverty programs. Under the bill, age-appropriate reproductive health and sexuality education is required from grade five to fourth year high school using life-skills and other approaches. The bill also mandates the Department of Labor and Employment to guarantee the reproductive health rights of its female employees. Companies with less than 200 workers are required to enter into partnership with health care providers in their area for the delivery of reproductive health services.

8 Employers are obliged to monitor pregnant working employees among their workforce and ensure they are provided paid half-day prenatal medical leaves for each month of the pregnancy period that they are employed. The national government and local governments will ensure the availability of reproductive health care services, including family planning and prenatal care. Any person or public official who prohibits or restricts the delivery of legal and medically safe reproductive health care services will be meted penalty by imprisonment or a fine. Economic and demographic premises The Philippines is densely populated, with a density over 300 per squared kilometer, and the population growth rate is 2.04 (2007 Census), 1.957% (2010 est. by CIA World Fact Book), or 1.85% (2005-2010 high variant estimate by the UN Population Division, World Population Prospects: The 2008 Revision) coming from 3.1 in 1960. The 2010 total fertility rate (TFR) is 3.23 births per woman, from a TFR of 7 in 1960. In addition, the total fertility rate for the richest quintile of the population is 2.0, which is about one third the TFR of the poorest quintile (5.9 children per woman). The TFR for women with college education is 2.3, about half that of women with only an elementary education (4.5 children per woman). Congressman Lagman states that the bill "recognizes the verifiable link between a huge population and poverty. Unbridled population growth stunts socioeconomic development and aggravates poverty."

9 The University of the Philippines' School of Economics presented two papers in support of the bill: Population and Poverty: the Real Score (2004), and Population, Poverty, Politics and the Reproductive Health Bill (2008). According to these economists, which include Solita Monsod, Gerardo Sicat, Cayetano Paderanga, Ernesto M. Pernia, and Stella Alabastro-Quimbo, "rapid population growth and high fertility rates, especially among the poor, do exacerbate poverty and make it harder for the government to address it," while at the same time clarifying that it would be "extreme" to view "population growth as the principal cause of poverty that would justify the government resorting to draconian and coercive measures to deal with the problem (e.g., denial of basic services and subsidies to families with more than two children)." They illustrate the connection between rapid population growth and poverty by comparing the economic growth and population growth rates of Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines, wherein the first two grew more rapidly than the Philippines due to lower population growth rates.They stressed that "the experience from across Asia indicates that a population policy cum government-funded [family planning] program has been a critical complement to sound economic policy and poverty reduction." In Population and Poverty, Aniceto Orbeta, Jr, showed that poverty incidence is higher among big families: 57.3% of Filipino families with seven children are in poverty while only 23.8% of families who have two children live below the poverty threshold. Proponents argue that smaller families and wider birth intervals resulting from the use of contraceptives allow families to invest more in each childs education, health, nutrition and

10 eventually reduce poverty and hunger at the household level.At the national level, fertility reduction cuts the cost of social services with fewer people attending school or seeking medical care and as demand eases for housing, transportation, jobs, water, food and other natural resources. The Asian Development Bank in 2004 also listed a large population as one of the major causes of poverty in the country, together with weak macroeconomic management, employment issues, an underperforming agricultural sector and an unfinished land reform agenda, governance issues including corruption. Maternal health and deaths The proponents state that RH will mean: (1) Information and access to natural and modern family planning (2) Maternal, infant and child health and nutrition (3) Promotion of breast feeding (4) Prevention of abortion and management of post-abortion complications (5) Adolescent and youth health (6) Prevention and management of reproductive tract infections, HIV/AIDS and STDs (7) Elimination of violence against women (8) Counseling on sexuality and sexual and reproductive health (9) Treatment of breast and reproductive tract cancers (10) Male involvement and participation in RH; (11) Prevention and treatment of infertility and (12) RH education for the youth. Family planning The majority of Filipinos are in favor of family planning. The Catholic Church teaches the necessity of responsible parenthood and correct family planning (one child at a time depending on one's circumstances), while at the same time teaching that large families are a sign of God's

11 blessings. It teaches that modern natural family planning, a method of fertility awareness, is in accord with God's design, as couples give themselves to each other as they are. The RH bill intends to help couples to have government funded access to artificial contraception methods as well. Abortion One of the bill's components is "prevention of abortion and management of post-abortion complications." It provides that "the government shall ensure that all women needing care for post-abortion complications shall be treated and counseled in a humane, non-judgmental and compassionate manner." It also states that "abortion remains a crime and is punishable," as the Constitution declares that the State shall equally protect the life of the mother and the life of the unborn from conception

Morality and social effects

Another central issue is the morality of contraception. Around 81% of Filipinos are Catholics, and the Catholic Church teaches that extramarital sex and contraception are moral evils, since they desecrate sex which is intrinsically linked to new human beings whose lives are sacred. Contraception, says the church, also makes spouses lie about their total self gift to their spouse, by not surrendering their personal fertility.

HIV/AIDS
The RH bill provides for "prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS and other, STIs/STDs," especially since the number of HIV cases among the young nearly tripled from 41 in 2007 to 110

12 in 2008. Primary among the means is distribution of condoms. The proponents applauded government efforts last February 2010 when it distributed condoms in some areas of Manila. Sexuality Education To achieve its goals, the bill provides for mandatory reproductive health education and that it be taught in "an age-appropriate manner... by adequately trained teachers starting from Grade 5 up to Fourth Year High School." Opposition to the bill is concerned about early sexualization of the youth and say that sexuality education promoters themselves state that it has led to more teenage pregnancies and illegitimacy. They stressed that what is needed is chastity education, especially taught by their parents, rather than sex education in school. Proponents refer to the latest UNESCO study dated December 2009 which concluded that sexuality education did not encourage early initiation into sex, but actually increased the age at which people first engage in sexual activity. Sex- refers to whether the respondent is male or female. Age- refers to the age of respondents whether 18 and above, 16-17, and 15 and below. Course- refers to the courses of the respondents whether BS Commerce, BS Business Administration, BS Accounting Technology, BS Business Administration (Marketing), and BS Entrepreneur Management.

13 CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY This chapter presents the methods used, place and respondents of the study , sampling design, operationalization and categorization of variables, research instruments, scoring of variables, validation of questionnaire, data gathering and data analysis.

RESEARCH DESIGN The descriptive method of research was used for this study. To define the descriptive type of research, Creswell (1994) stated that the descriptive method of research is to gather information about the present existing condition. The emphasis is on describing rather than on judging or interpreting. The aim of descriptive research is to verify formulated hypotheses that refer to the present situation in order to elucidate it. Moreover, this method allows a flexible approach, thus, when important new issues and questions arise during the duration of the study, further investigation may be conducted. Descriptive research on the other hand is a type of research that is mainly concerned with describing the nature or condition and the degree in detail of the present situation. This method is used to describe the nature of a situation, as it exists at the time of the study and to explore the cause/s of particular a phenomenon. The aim of descriptive research is to obtain an accurate profile of the people, events or situations. With this research type, it is essential that the researcher already has a clear view or picture of the phenomena being investigated before the data collection procedure is carried out. The researcher used this kind of research to obtain first

14 hand data from the respondents so as to formulate rational and sound conclusions and recommendations for the study. LOCALE OF THE STUDY This study was conducted at Capiz State University, Main Campus, Roxas City at the department of the College of Business administration during the school year 2011-2012.

RESPONDENTS AND/OR SUBJECTS OF THE STUDY This study covered 907 CBA students of Capiz state University, Main Campus. Table 1 represents the distribution of respondents by year level.

21 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES Survey sampling In statistics, survey sampling describes the process of selecting a sample of elements from a target population in order to conduct a survey. A survey may refer to many different types or techniques of observation, but in the context of survey sampling it most often involves a questionnaire used to measure the characteristics and/or attitudes of people. Different ways of contacting members of a sample once they have been selected is the subject of survey data collection. The purpose of sampling is to reduce the cost and/or the amount of work that it would take to survey the entire target population. A survey that measures the entire target population is called a census.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT The researcher designs a self-administered questionnaire for the data gathering process to get qualitative and quantitative data. The primary aim of the questionnaire is to determine the perception of College of Business Administration (CBA) at Capiz State University, Main Campus, Roxas City towards Reproductive Health Bill. This research will use a mixture of closed questions and more open comments in the questionnaire. A closed question is one that has pre-coded answers. Through closed questions, the researcher will be able to limit responses that are within the scope of this study. The questionnaire was structured in such a way that respondents will be able to answer it easily. Thus, the set of questionnaire was structured using the Likert format with a five-point response scale. A Likert Scale is a rating scale that requires the subject to indicate his or her degree of 22 agreement or disagreement to a statement. In this type of questionnaire, the respondents were given five response choices. These options served as the quantification of the participants' agreement or disagreement on each question item. Below are the designated quantifications used in the questionnaire: Table 3.

DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE The letter of permission was given to the dean of College of Business Administration asking for her approval to allow the researchers to conduct and administer the survey questionnaire to the College of Business Administration (CBA) students as our respondents of the study. After the approval, the questionnaire was personally distributed to the respondents for them to supply the necessary data required. After they had finished answering, it was personally retrieved, gathered, analyze, and interpreted.

23 DATA ANALYSIS PROCEDURE Statistical Tool The statistical tools used in this study were the frequency count, percentage, mean and chisquare. Frequency count is used to determine the number of respondents which falls on every category. Percentage is used to determine the central ratio and proportion of respondents per hundred. Mean is used to determine the perception of CBA students towards Reproductive Health Bill. The formula for mean s (Walpole, 1997): __ X= X N Where: __ X= the mean X= the sum of the scores N= number of cases The chi-square is used o determine the relationship of certain variables such as sex, age, and course and the perception towards Reproductive Health Bill.

The formula for chi-square is shown below (Ruiz 1989): X2= (fo-fe)2 fe where: X2= chi-square fo= observed frequency fe= expected frequency

24 CHAPTER IV PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA The gathered data were presented, analyzed, and interpreted in this chapter. The data reflected in each table were presented by a textual discussion.
