Why the RH Bill is bad: The Real Truth behind the Supposed Truth about the RH Bill

I used to support the RH Bill. I no longer do. By the end of this document, neither would you. I have not supported the RH Bill since I attended a lecture in Megamall about the truth behind it. That lecture truly enlightened me. My only hope is that this holy light of enlightenment passes through your monitor screen, into your optical nerves, and into your heart so it can touch your soul (because the soul is in the heart). My intent here is not to antagonize Pro-RH people, but to enlighten – so listen up, you narrow-minded morons. Open your minds to the real truth…

The RH Bill will put Filipinos at risk of extinction, because, at its very core, the RH Bill is an extension of a secret, global conspiracy – a western attempt – to implement principles of eugenics on unsuspecting, inferior populations in order to exclude them from the human evolutionary process, at the end of which would, at the apex, summon forth THE MASTER RACE. Anyone who failed to see this after the lecture is ignorant. I advise him or her to do his or her research, better yet, do some soul-searching to discover the real truth, because the truth is in our hearts, we just have to listen to it.

Initially, my layman’s interpretation of the RH Bill led me to think that it was just a bill meant to help educate the uninformed about ways to prevent them from fornicating their way to a very bad financial situation. My ignorant mind devised 10 simple points as to why the RH Bill was right.

I thought:

1. The minimum wage – the lowest an employer can pay an employee – of a non-agricultural Filipino worker is P404.

2. If there were 20 working days in a month (because most people don’t work on the weekend), the average minimum-wage-earning Filipino would earn around P8,000 a month.

3. Let’s call that person, Joey. If Joey, like other human beings, ate food on a regular basis, he will spend around P70/day on food (and that’s a very, very conservative assumption). There are 30 days in a month, so I guess, that would amount to P2,100 a month.

4. But if Joey had a wife that he loved, he might want to feed her too. Feeding her would cost another P2,100 a month.

5. P8,000 – P4,200 = P3,800

6. If Joey and his wife rented a home, or used electricity and bathed from time to time, the amount left from Joey’s salary would be significantly reduced. Let’s say their utility bills and rent amounted to P1800.

7. P3,800 – P1800 = P2,000

8. P2,000 is a lot of money, but I don’t think Joey and his wife should have more than 3 children, right? I mean, I don’t have children, but just by looking at one, I can safely assume that they cost more than P1,000/month. Babies need milk, diapers, toys, immunity injections, baby medicine…

9. From this I deduced that babies cost money. If babies cost money, I theorized that having more babies would cost more money. And from this data, I observed that a person who spent a lot of money on children, but didn’t earn a lot of money, would soon be broke and unable to provide for both himself and his children. Another word for this broke situation is poverty.

10. I theorized that a person can avoid being poor by making less babies. So, I thought that steps should be taken to inform people about this very little known fact. I also thought that the government should make contraceptives accessible so that people who don’t earn a lot can properly manage the little resources that they have. That’s why I supported the RH Bill.

But now I know that I was wrong. And here are some of the reasons why I know that. By the way, before I continue, I must say that this is the truth, guys. In fact, it’s more than the truth. It’s the Catholic truth, which means that it’s truer and more true than the regular truth.

I know that the issue of the RH Bill is not a religious issue, but make sure you pay attention if you want your soul to be saved. Here are some of the things I learned from the lecture I learned:

“The RH Bill is wrong because it assumes that the Philippines is overpopulated.”

I agree. I, myself, have observed that the Philippine is NOT overpopulated. In fact, if you use your common sense and think about it, you will realize a few things:

1. We are not overpopulated! Look at the mountains, the jungles, the caves and the ocean floor. There are no people there!

2. If we were really overpopulated, we would have trouble travelling. But if you go to EDSA, there’s no traffic. When you ride the MRT, it’s not packed with people.

3. Students in public schools are well educated because the teacher to student ratio is very low. In fact, because of our low population the government can basically guarantee that all public school students are provided books, notebooks and other school supplies.

“The RH Bill is wrong because it assumes that contraceptives are good for mankind and women.”

1. I agree, the RH Bill is not good for women because it might draw a woman away from her one, true, universal purpose – the uninterrupted production of healthy babies.

2. Furthermore, the role of women in society and the universe is to make babies. That’s why God made women. That’s their sole purpose in life. They’re not good for anything else. Ever wonder why there are no women in the clergy? Because they’re not good enough.

3. Contraceptives would allow women to enjoy the benefits of physical intimacy while maintaining a successful and productive career, if she so chooses. That is so wrong. Only men should be able to enjoy that privilege.

4. Women should get pregnant every single time they have sex and only immoral women enjoy sex without the possibility of conception. In fact, a better alternative would be for women, in general, to follow the example made by Mother Mary – to learn how to conceive without having sex.

“The RH bill will put Filipinos at risk of extinction!”

1. I agree. If we pass the RH bill, we will become extinct, like dinosaurs. The dinosaurs are all dead. If we don’t want to be extinct, we should not pass the RH Bill. I mean, do you really want to be a dinosaur?

2. In my opinion, it wouldn’t even be far-fetched to speculate that the most probable reason the dinosaurs became extinct was because they used contraceptives.

3. Population decline is just bad for nations. Just look at the countries which have a declining population – Italy, Japan and Singapore. They’re in such a bad shape. The Philippines obviously has a better economy and has a higher literacy rate than these countries. In fact, many Italians, Japanese, and Singaporeans go to the Philippines for work. That only goes to show that a decline in population is bad for the economy.

“Our population is our biggest asset!”

1. In my opinion, people should make as many babies as they can because the population is not a problem. In fact, the more babies a person has, the more assets he has. Forget real estate properties, stock investments, or Jollibee franchises. The real secret to increased wealth is babies.

2. If you have 15 babies, you’re practically wealthy because babies are assets:

2.1 If you need money, you can sell them.

2.2 If you can keep them alive until they can walk, they can one day beg for money in the streets – they’re going to have to anyway because there’s no way in hell you’ll be able to provide for all of them on your own.

3. If ever a person is not able to feed the 15 babies he made, it’s the governments fault, because it’s the governments sole responsibility to make sure that every Filipino baby is fed.

4. The best way a person can contribute to his country is to contribute to its population.

“The RH Bill is wrong because it assumes that reproductive education and contraceptives will effectively reduce cases of abortion.”

1. Reproductive/contraceptive education will have no effect on the number of abortion cases. In my opinion, these abortion cases will not lessen because women will continue to have abortions regardless of whether they are pregnant or not.

2. Abortions cannot be prevented. It’s just something that women naturally do. Like shopping, for example.

“The RH Bill is wrong because it will make people participate in extra-marital and pre-marital sex.”

1. By approving the RH Bill, we as a nation, are practically encouraging our people to engage in immoral activities.

2. We must protect our moral values and reject the RH Bill. Because, currently, not a single Filipino engages in pre-marital sex or extra-marital sex. As soon as this bill is approved, Filipino people will run the streets naked and start a national orgy!

3. The root cause of extra-marital and pre-marital sex is one’s exposure to contraceptives. There is just something in contraceptives that people find very arousing.

4. In Western countries, men lure strange women into bed by showing them condoms.

5. If we ban condoms, absolutely no one would engage in pre-marital or extra-marital sex.

“The RH Bill is wrong because it assumes that parents don’t teach their children about sex.”

1. The truth is that parents talk to their children about sex all the time. It’s so not awkward. The dad usually tells his children how he takes off all his clothes, does a sexy Tiger growl and makes sweet, sweet music with their mother’s body.

2. Also, a father usually advises his daughter that if she’s going to have sex with her boyfriend, she should use a condom. Sometimes the father even drives the daughter to the boyfriend’s house and waits for the couple to finish.

3. Filipino daughters don’t have sex without the father’s permission. Unwanted pregnancies or teen pregnancies never happen to Filipino girls. That’s why we do not need the RH Bill.

“The RH Bill is a conspiracy.”

1. It’s lies, all lies!

“The RH Bill is wrong because the priest said so, and priests are never wrong.”

The biggest reason why we should not pass the RH Bill is because the priests told us that we shouldn’t. As anyone should know, priests, men of the clergy, should be the authority on sexual and reproductive matters because they have the most knowledge and experience with sex and reproduction. They are true sexperts – legendary masters of erotic affairs. If you are a real Catholic, you would do everything they say, because they’re always right.

I think this is a very smart way of putting most (if not all) of the arguments against the RH Bill out there. Best way to defeat an argument is to point out the flawed logic behind it, and this piece definitely did just that, without having to resort to technical terms used by rhetoricians.

I completely agree with the writer on this.

@JuanTalino — I understand your point; I’ve read the proposed bill, too. However, don’t you think that the potential for corruption is greatly outweighed by our necessity to educate our people regarding their own bodies? While it pains me to say this because I had hoped that we’d be better than this by now, there are actually some women who get pregnant without knowing the cause. It’s something so basic to us, but not everyone is as privileged to have access to such information. A househelper we had even believed that it was possible to get pregnant only a month AFTER coitus, and not immediately after. This is a reality, and the need therefore for information is crucial. And granted that there are other ways of educating people, the education aspect is not the entirety of the goal of the RH Bill. There’s also freedom of choice, especially with their own bodies. I disagree when you said that women only have children because they want to; some are victims of marital rape or merely consent to the sexual acts (out of fear, perhaps, of getting beaten black and blue) but are not willing to bear children at all. The bill will also be for women empowerment, because it enables women to enjoy sex without having to worry about the consequences of bearing a child, therefore putting them in the same footing as men in this aspect. And why would it be wrong to give these away for free? Condoms can be pricey, even the cheapest ones, if you don’t even have enough money to get by. And honestly, I think that those who do need the RH Bill the most would rather spend their money on alcohol and cigarettes than on condoms at this point. After all, if it’s the men who are handling the money (and they most often are, in those demographics), would they really buy something that would barely affect them, except perhaps to curb the sensation they’re looking for in the first place? They wouldn’t, because they likely wouldn’t see the point. The RH Bill would provide women with the power to take what they need without needing their partner’s help or consent.

And in the end, this really is a woman’s problem. It’s the women who bear the children; it’s the women who are being withheld information from and being withheld freedom from. They lose the freedom to do what they will with their own bodies, by withholding them the simple question of whether or not they should be able to take precautionary measures against pregnancy. Why do they have to ask for this service? (And this may sound completely unrelated, but males have the ‘libreng tuli’ projects and nobody’s making an issue of that. Have you asked yourselves why? Why is it that people just agree that men can feel free to cut off parts of their own penises for both traditional and medical reasons and women can’t even use contraceptives because it defies only tradition? Point being: it’s the double standard talking.)

What the RH Bill boils down to is should women be given the freedom over their own bodies in making the decision of using contraceptives? Corollary to this is, should the State provide them with means to enable them in doing so? @eabaguioro, it would be UNCONSTITUTIONAL NOT TO. Article II Sec. 14 of the same Constitution declares it to be so. Equality of freedom between women and men. The only way I can even imagine Sec 12 coming into the picture is by bringing in the abortion argument which was clearly rebutted by the writer’s article.

This is a really good article! Not only sent me laughing, but also gives me good perspective why I am supporting the bill. Kudos to the writer! 🙂

"This is like the lamest, most blatant form of satire. No subtlety and wit at all.

The fact that some Filipinos are praising this as a fine piece of satire and the rest still manage to miss the sarcasm just goes to show how tasteless and stupid Filipinos are.

This race really needs to stop making more babies. "

Mr. Pepe, don't you think that giving this article the title of being and I quote 'lamest, most blatant form of satire', I mean surely there are others out there.
And again, I am assuming that you are, I don't know, well read maybe? Look at the construction of your phrase and your use of words, and add that to the fact that you know what a satire is (without the help of the internet that is). Again, I'm only assuming.
So why would a well read person like yourself condemn a race and label them 'stupid' based on ONE article?

You really have some issues Mr. Pepe. I hope you didn't forget to take your pills.
Ignorance is an awful illness and at unfortunate circumstances it could lead to blind rage–I really hope you get better soon.

Me, I believe that procreation should be a privilege and given only to the deserving. If you're ugly, stupid, smelly, genetically-challenged…then sorry but you're not allowed to further pollute the earth. I mean, we gotta have standards, right? Less useless people, less waste of resources = happy earth = more for everyone.

For example, these individuals would be on the "STERILIZE" list: (we'll go international just to keep it interesting)
– Willie Revillame
– Pokwang
– Li'l Wayne
– Jaokim Noah
– Megan Fox (have you seen her thumb???)

And these are in the "GO FORTH AND MULTIPLY" list:
– Papa Piolo and KC
– Natalie Portman
– Ivanka Trump
– Thor
– Justin Timberlake (dude's really talented)

I know, I know, it's going to be difficult to implement, but if lions can do it, why can't we?

        The good thing about this that the government doesn't need to spend condom money on me, because I can't produce little buggers anymore. STDs would be the other problem, though, because people might get complacent…….But then again, just let them die off! If they were too stupid to contract it in the first place, why should we keep them around?

Judd Labarda May 6, 2011 At 8:46 pm

I detected the sarcasm from the very first paragraph. Perhaps it's my sensitivity to it… I don't know. I found this incredibly funny.

To Pepe (and other racists like him):

Hi Pepe, it's great that you had a vasectomy so you couldn't contaminate the gene pool further, you RACIST fucker. It's unfortunate that a person with your obvious level of intelligence couldn't understand how a lot of people couldn't afford a good education and that everyone's raised differently. I think that goes for every nationality.

It's unfair and offensive how you can generalize that Filipinos are tasteless and stupid. Don't you think a lot of us cringe at shallow comments like Rashine Palma's? Those kinds of comments are made every day by people from different countries. Unless of course you're an elitist Filipino who thinks everyone else is beneath him. You'd be surprised how a lot of Filipinos are at par educationally and financially with the best countries.

Maybe this isn't the best form of satire, but people are commenting on how great the article is because everything he described is how it is in the Philippines for the average Juan, and a lot people don't see that. We're all tired of the heavy debate on how people should go for/against the RH bill, especially since majority of Filipinos are Catholic.

Oh, and a lot of articles like this are probably written by non-professional writers, so you might not find your effing 'proper elements'. So sorry we inelegant slobs can't be like you, asshole.

It's not that those who did not get it are dumb. But because they didn't, it means that the author did not succeed in getting his message across. 'Yun lang. Pero I admire the effort of the writer. Very witty indeed. But really, it's better to be factual than comical. But I guess, we all have our own way of making a stand. This definitely caught the attention of many people. Cheers to you, author!
- Winston Dumas May 6, 2011 At 8:06 pm
  
  TOO many people. Haha. But what you said is true.
  - marianne May 6, 2011 At 8:19 pm
    
    Well, that's the risk you take in doing a satire.
    - Winston Dumas May 6, 2011 At 8:29 pm
      
      I'd say it was the risk of posting on the Internet.
      - marianne May 6, 2011 At 8:34 pm
        
        I'd say it was both. 😀
- marianne May 6, 2011 At 8:23 pm
  
  I also think that many people did not finish reading the whole article, that's why they reacted that way. Ang haba nga naman kasi. But we now see the results of that. So, I guess there's a lesson or two there. 🙂

pero kudos sa author para mag write nito in a very typical dumb way…there is an art to this….somewhere….i think…..ay wala pala…hahahaha….

  it's not sad or a waste of time to express your emotions and your beliefs via "sarcasm". Writing to kill apathy, especially in a very entertaining way, is a respectable thing to do.
  
  Please try to do something for our country and stop judging people for being brilliant.

- Rinzler May 6, 2011 At 7:34 pm
  
  It's because they're letting their EMOTIONS drive them instead of their LOGIC.
  
  Kudos to the writer of this encrypted article.
  
  If you guys just keep CALM, reread his thoughts, and finally get it, you'll praise and regard him as a TRUE DESCENDANT OF DR. JOSE RIZAL.
yo'hommie May 6, 2011 At 7:30 pm

Entertaining but full of crap 🙂 The way the anti-RH bill was defended, it makes no sense at all.
olivia May 6, 2011 At 7:27 pm

wtf is wrong with this kid?
Rinzler May 6, 2011 At 7:26 pm

Okay guys, keep calm. I have to admit that as I was reading the article, certain points of it has *totally* enraged me. I kept on commenting about its certain seemingly illogical and senseless ideas but IT REALLY CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD AFTER FINISHING IT.

Guys, if you try to understand it deeper – READ BETWEEN THE LINES. The guy writing this was actually being SARCASTIC towards the Catholic leaders of our country.

READ THESE AGAIN:

POINT #1: "The biggest reason why we should not pass the RH Bill is because the priests told us that we shouldn’t."

POINT #2: "As anyone should know, priests – have the most knowledge and experience with sex and reproduction. They are true sexperts – legendary masters of erotic affairs. "

POINT #3: "If you are a real Catholic, you would do everything they say, because they’re always right."

At first this has really pissed me off but I have to say, the author here has some great wits in encrypting what he really means. I think the raving comments here are from people who are letting their emotions drive.

Again guys, keep calm and re-read his statements.

If you finally get it, you'll praise and regard him as a TRUE DESCENDANT OF DR. JOSE RIZAL.
JM padua May 6, 2011 At 7:14 pm

Title palang alam mo nang distorted ang reality ng author. "REAL TRUTH" ibig sabihin may "FALSE TRUTH" Go back to your philisophy subject, or kahit na sa grammar school, or sa commong sense nalang.

ang weak ng writing skills mo. if you'd want to entertain,try a lil bit harder. this turned out to be a display of stupidity at all levels.
Paul May 6, 2011 At 6:41 pm

“The RH Bill is wrong because it assumes that the Philippines is overpopulated.”

I agree. I, myself, have observed that the Philippine is NOT overpopulated. In fact, if you use your common sense and think about it, you will realize a few things:

1. We are not overpopulated! Look at the mountains, the jungles, the caves and the ocean floor. There are no people there!

Best part ever. Oh dear author, please feel free to live at the places you have mentioned. =)

  READ BETWEEN THE LINES! intindihin muna kasi ung article bago magcomment ng kung ano2x. hahaha
ron May 6, 2011 At 6:40 pm

"Do you really want to be a dinosaur?" is a win!
Egoyz May 6, 2011 At 6:34 pm

Dun sa mga hindi marunong umintindi ng binabasa para sa inyo talaga ang RH bill. Dapat ipagbawal kayong mag procreate dahil masisira lamang ang aming lahi. Wag nyo sirain ang mundo na ginagalawan namin at gagalawan ng mga anak namin. Lumipat na kayo ng bansa parang awa nyo na.

rets May 6, 2011 At 6:27 pm

I dont quite get the point in this little article, i know it's full of sarcasm and its supposed to be funny but im not quite sure why the writer wrote this. is this article targeted at the less-than-knowledgeable filipino readers, or it this is written out of despondency? either way you got me hooked until the middle part of the article which i should say totally shook my ground. I dont find this funny but it makes for a good read and yes the writing style is good. Cheers mate~!
Kevin May 6, 2011 At 6:26 pm

This is very true. I totally agree with you =) This work is priceless. I wish the Anti-RH people are reading this one =))

This is a very controversial yet entertaining (on my opinion) article. It's just sad to see that other readers actually took this article literally. I hope they finish reading this first before posting their comments. Kudos to you for writing this. *clap clap*

To whoever said satire and sarcasm are different, just to let you know, satire is the use of sarcasm.

Zach Albia May 6, 2011 At 5:57 pm

Good idea for writing a satirical piece on RH bill issues but I'm not so sold on the execution.
>inb4 why don't you try writing your own satire?
- Rapi May 6, 2011 At 6:42 pm
  
  Wow that's a very sound argument, ah. If you criticize a work, why not make your own? That's like saying, this pasta tastes like shit, the cook – who gave me this – is incompentent, I shall make my own.
  
  If you did not catch the sarc, it's saying na the work is for the public to criticize without the responsibility of providing their work to prove that their criticism is valid, because they just fucking can.
miomorphosed May 6, 2011 At 5:37 pm

This is an article of substance and of significance. So loving your style writer. We just can't get every reader get your point because many of whom just do plain reading. But we can't prevent such sort of readers from reading your article, neither we can choose them. So better consider the type of your potential readers. But you are good. No doubt. 😀
