A Law Each Day (Keeps Trouble Away)

PhilSTAR, Opinion - February 1, 2008

Our country is supposed to be a sovereign and independent State under which our government exercises full and complete sovereignty over all the islands and waters embraced therein. Hence no other government or international agency can conduct its activities within our territory without government sanction. This is a universal principle that comes to mind now because of certain activities being aggressively carried out by some country team agencies of the United Nations (UN) within our territory, first on the national level and lately on the local level.

Evidently, some international funding agencies continue to impose as funding requirements the adoption by our country of anti-life population control programs and policies. The alarming aspect here is that these policies are now being presented as pro-life since they allegedly promote health, eliminate violence against women and even prevent abortion and other sexually transmissible diseases. The program is now called "population management" while birth control has been more euphemistically designated as "reproductive health".

Reactions to my articles on population control especially against artificial contraceptives always vary. They range from total agreement or conditional support, to critical rejection and indignant disapproval. This is alright. Freedom of expression is the essence of democracy where beliefs and ideas attain the badges of merit and validity in a free exchange of views and opinions. My only appeal to those who disagree is to stick to the issues and refrain from anger and personal attacks. Such reactions merely expose the bankruptcy of their position or betray a bothered conscience.

THOSE who are advocating the legalization of divorce in the Philippines argue that the Philippines is the only Catholic country in the world that does not permit divorce. They cite Spain, Italy, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Poland, Ireland and Portugal as examples of predominantly Catholic countries that allow the dissolution of the marriage bond.

NOTE FROM ALFI : We thank Atty. Jose Sison for his Philippine Star column of Sept 8, 2006 entitled, “Time to Speak Out.”

We commend his efforts to call the attention of the public to the dangerous advancement in Congress of these four anti-family Bills, namely House Bills 3773, 5285, 5012 and 634. Please read on and feel free to send him feedback at jcson@pldtdsl.net

Leaders of the Roman Catholic Church said that responsible parenthood is in being a "free and responsible collaborators" of God. This is in contrast with what government lawmakers are proposing in Congress dubbed as "responsible parenthood" and population management, which the church is opposing, according to CBCP president Fernando Capalla.
