No to Reproductive Health (RH) Bill: By Dr. Bernardo M. Villegas
Excerpts:
A recent report
from Bloomberg (one of the leading business news agencies) was just headlined
“Philippines Leads in Demographic Dividend of Supply of Young Workers.” The
very bullish article about the Philippines—just echoing many others that have
come out since the beginning of the current year—pointed out that the so-called
demographic dividend from a rising supply of young workers is one reason
Japan’s second-largest shipbuilder expanded in the Philippines, where workers
are on average half the age of its Japanese employees. Passing the RH Bill would literally be killing
the goose that lays the golden eggs. Already China and Thailand—still with
relatively large populations—are suffering from labor shortages because of the
rapid aging of their populations
over the last decade or so. According to Nobel prize winner George Akerlof, who
combines the study of economics and psychology, contraceptives tend to degrade
marriage and lead to more extramarital sex, more fatherless children, more
single mothers and more psychologically troubled adolescents. Harvard Director
of AIDS Prevention, Edward C. Green, once wrote that according to the best
evidence available, condoms give a false sense of security and prompt people to
be more reckless in assuming sexual risks, thus worsening the spread of the
sexually transmitted diseases. Thailand, which has the highest incidence of
AIDS-HIV in East Asia, could be cited as a testimony to this.

Jesse M. Robredo, (May 27, 1958-Aug. 18, 2012)
Farewell to a great Filipino, an honest, simple and humble public servant. A model family man, a true man of God and of faith, a true man of the poor (Jessie M. Robredo, May 27, 1958-Aug. 18, 2012).
Eternal rest grant unto him o Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.

My Reflections for Saturday February 4; 1st reading 1st Kings 3:4-13
My Reflections:
In our first reading the Lord appeared to
Solomon in a dream and said: "Ask something of me and I will give it to
you." Solomon did not ask for any material things; he instead asked for an
understanding heart to judge the people and to distinguish right from wrong. Why
did Solomon ask for this wisdom instead of temporary things?
Because the most important things in this
world are not those that are seen or perceive by our worldly senses. The most
important things are those that are felt by our hearts and minds. It doesn’t
matter anymore if we are not rich if we don’t have power. It’s enough that we
are able to guide, nurture and mentor those who are in our sphere of influence.
The legacy that lasts is not the structures
that we’ve built but the hearts that we've touched and converted.
If the Lord will give us the same opportunity
what will we ask from Him?

My Reflections for January 6 Friday Luke 3:23-38
My
Reflections:
Death
is a unifying factor in the family for example during wake. We will be introduced to relatives whom we have never seen in our
entire lives. Then we normally talk with them; through this we will be able to
trace how we are intricately connected.
As
we talk with our relatives let us take this opportunity to get to know them
better. Let us be nice and helpful towards them and let us humble ourselves
before them.
Who
knows with these behaviors we might be the instruments for them to get closer to Jesus. …

My Reflections for The Feast of the Holy Family; December 30 Friday Luke 2:22, 39-40
My
Reflections:
What
is the best gift that a husband/wife can give to God and to their spouses? It’s
faithfulness to their marriage vows; this is the best offering that we can bequeath
God and our spouses. What is the best gift that we can give our children? The
best gift is not the latest gadget/s but to implant In their hearts the love of
God for them. Children must know that there’s a God that is in control of everything
in this world.
Today
we celebrate the Feast of the Holy family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph both
spouses were faithful to each other. Both spouses presented the young Jesus
to the Lord.
Are
we still faithful to our marriage vows? Do we still bring our children to the
church for Mass? Do we still teach them about our faith?
Let
us preserve the values of the Holy Family in our own respective families. …

My Reflections for December 14 Wednesday Luke 18b-23
My
Reflections:
Many
are looking for happiness and fulfillment; they try to look for it within their
wealth but they failed. We also look for our happiness and fulfillment in the many facets
of our lives and we end up holding an empty bag.
The
disciples of John were sent by him to Jesus to ask this question: 'Are you the
one who is to come, or should we look for another?' Jesus answered them by
citing His many miracles and healings.
We
know that Jesus is the one who can cure us with everything that is bothering
us. Let us not look elsewhere; let us focus our sights on Him.
