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.
2. If you have 15 babies, you’re practically wealthy because babies are assets:
2.1 If you need money, you can sell them

Nice one Dustin Celestino.
Really guys, some of you are really criticizing against this article seriously. Why don't you try reading it again and ask yourself if you really got the real message.
This article and the stupid comments made by some of the people here really gave me a good laugh.
hehehe….. XD
Well, I find this article funny. Not a big deal if it has wasted my time (it was quite a long read). I guess, the writer of this is a Pro-RH Bill.
Hey writer, you made your English, Logic and Social Studies teachers proud of you 😀
yes, this is very funny
2,887 comments after and there are still a lot of people who do not get the whole point of the article! perhaps if they'd bother to read some of the comments first before blowing off steam, they would not embarrass themselves! then again, the comments section will not be as entertaining as the article itself.hehe
hahahahaha..akala ko madadala ako sa article na to…i thought that this article can encourage me to change my mind…but the contents are not good.." you can sell your babies" hahahaha..ibenta mo na lang anak mo…try mo…
DONT BELIEVE IN ILLUMINATI AND N.W.O. IT NEVER EXISTED AND WONT BE. DONT BELIEVE IN ONE WOLRD TOTALITARIAN STATE, CHEMTRAILS, HAARP.
ONE NATION, UNDER GOD. REAL PEOPLE DONT BELIEVE IN MAY 21 HOAX. PLS. AND ALSO DONT BELIEVE IN THIS ATHEIST WEBSITE.
IM GONNA ASSURE YOU THIS WEBSITE WILL BE SEIZED BY I.C.E AND HOMELAND SECURITY
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.
–alam mo bang sa isang year/grade level ng public school, minimum na ang 7 sections. at bawat section ay may 70 students. i once studied at a public school and i can assure you na walang natututunan ang mga estudyante un. try to look at someone’s facebook acc. who’s studying in a public school, puro kalokohan ang ginagawa nila. “gangster” daw sila.
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.
–who the hell would want to sell their babies?! are you crazy? mag isip ka nga!
thanks for wasting our time, anyway.
It’s a SATIRICAL article. You don’t know what that means? Google it. Type “satire” in google.com without the quotation marks if you don’t know how. People can be stupid. People say the author is an idiot when in fact it was so OBVIOUS. I don’t know why you didn’t see it.
“mag-isip ka nga!” — ikaw ang hindi nag-iisip. sheesh.
And this is another reason why we need to control the population. We need to lessen stupid people being born in this world. And stupid people should never have babies.
this biil was created by politicians who got AIDS. as gordon says Acute intelligence deficiency syndrome. Its true because the real issue here is not over population but corruption. we got a saying of clean your house first before you clean another ones backyard. so i say to the politicians, clean your ranks first and give the filipinos what they deserve. and after that i will support your bill or any other bill.. Show us first by cleaning your own backyard. from australia, singapore and g7 countries are whining that thier citizen are not making babies. but here we are controlling babies and sugar coating everything that it will be good for us. builds more infrustructure and factories. train filipinos like how the koreans do. from ships to car to household appliances. and not siphoning our money. how many factories can we build if we can get back all this money from corrupt officials. how many millions and billions. 300 million or more for the AFP scam alone. the Fertilizer scam etc. and now the DOH.
Mind you that the AIDS you mentioned is highly contagious; I feel you have it as well. Why would anyone compare G7 countries with their population problems with our own? It is a known fact that families within the poverty level produce three times as much children than financially stable families. Remember China when the general populace suffered from poverty and over-population, they adopted the "ONE CHILD POLICY". I don't know what snooty subdivision you live in to compare Philippine population problems with Australia's or Singapore's.
Comparing the RH Bill, or any bill for that matter, with Government scandals just shows your capacity in basic logic. If this how people would justify the creation of new laws, then it's like saying any law should not be passed cause it will be a scam.
The RH Bill is logically sound and, like other laws yet to be passed, is so (so) overdue. The problem that we face now is the vigilance of the citizenry. We share the plight of having a corrupt goverment. But what have we done lately to fight corruption?
Dumeretso ako sa numbered list kung bakit hindi overpopulated ang Pinas. Nakita ko yung number 1…
Yeah. ANG SAYA TUMIRA SA OCEAN FLOOR!
Hic. Hic. Hic. Lasheeeng ka ba?
di ko n binasa, mahaba eh! pero ako ang masasabi ko sa mga ANTI wag msyadong PAVIRGIN!!!!
hahaha..tamahhhh…
hahaha…is this article for real??? Hey dude, are you stupid or just a plain idiot??? You just successfully wasted our time reading this!!!
Nakakatuwa ung kumontra sa article.. Mukhang hindi nya naintindihan.. Hahah..
I vote RASHINE PALMA as head of the anti-RH movement. She will surely give us pro-RH a headache! from too much laughing that is! any other vote?hehe
What an effort!! Hahhaa … An article of ‘meaning behind the words’.. Anti rh bill.. Gotta have to read this.. This is absolutely for u guys.. Lol
I almost thought you were serious. Nice, nice article.
Just because you see the catholic church as old fashioned, does not mean they are wrong and you are right. Read the RH bill and see the issues for yourselves. See the difference between contraceptives and abortifacients. Read some more, if there is proof that freely distributing contraceptives to the masses really helps in curbing premarital sex, illegitimate children, undomesticated men, crimes and abortions. There are some things that are okay with the bill, but there are also alot of things wrong with it. If you are really freethinkers, read up.
Last time I checked we called them wrong because they resorted to lying, threatening, bullying, disinformation and hypocrisy with regards to the RH issue. Read up, it’s all documented, verifiable and not hard to find.
As for contraceptives as abortifacients, your side presents condoms as cancerous and misrepresents the mechanism of action for other contraceptives. The pill was invented by a Catholic in line with his faith. http://www.gladwell.com/2000/2000_03_10_a_rock.ht…
Read up on the link between Humanae Vitae and the Pontifical Commission on Birth Control. I won’t provide links since you seem to present yourself as a self-driven person with regards to research.
As for this pro-liar claim to promiscuity = culture of death evidenced by premarital sex, illegitimate children, undomesticated men, crimes and abortions, please present (respectable) empirical data and hard facts to back up your argument. Here’s my reply to your assertions: http://www.scribd.com/doc/50749695/The-Inconvenie…
Do you read enough? Or are you just another mouthpiece, seeing everything through the Pro-liar lens?
I am a catholic at heart, yet I support the RH bill, regardless of the lies propounded by its oppositors and passed off as gospel-thruth. I have an open mind who, while believing my chosen faith, questions some of the human interpretations of God's words, that may be bent and twisted to suit a particular need/s. I have my own mind and am intelligent enough to determine which makes sense and which is pure garbage. I just hope others, regardless of their chosen religion, would exercise more caution in branding the RH bill as a religious issue, when clearly it is not.
Yes it is not a" religious" issue, but it is a moral one. Regardless of religion, studying the facts will lead one's conscience to oppose the RH Bill. There is such a thing as natural laws, moral laws, which positive laws (i.e. those made by Congress for instance) must adhere to. Laws that are immoral, should not be followed, and are in essence, illegal. The RH Bill has actually a lot of notable principles being espoused, but it is flawed. Particularly the use of contraceptives to control population in the guise of giving "freedom of choice."
And what would these facts be? Don't even start comparing us to China, US and Japan who all have their own ways of controlling their population already and have established a very stable economy A LONG LONG TIME AGO. Why don't you compare us with India? Thailand? who also have the same problem as we do?
I respectfully invite you to read some of my other comments for the facts. Medyo mahaba na kasi, it’s so hard to repeat here. But yes, one of the facts I cite is the case of US, Japan and China. To reiterate, whether they attempt to control their population or not is irrelevant, the point is they all have MUCH LARGER POPULATIONS than we do (US is 3x ours, Japan is 1.5x ours, and China is 13x more than ours), yet they are better off than us (sabi mo nga they have stable economies). Therefore, population is not a hindrance to progress. Therefore, why try to control population? It’s impractical and unnecessary. We are better off addressing the economy directly. This is the logic behind it.
Not to oversimplify the issue you raised, but does it mean that (1) you don't see the huge number of street children, unschooled/underschooled children, malnourished children, beggars, tricycle drivers with 8 children who can barely eat a decent meal a day, this huge segment of our society being a drain on government resources, etc., as a problem that needs immediate attention? And (2) you don't see poverty due to overpopulation as a problem, but would rather see poverty due to government corruption, as the problem?
If this is how you view things, then what you're saying is, we should all wait for say, 1 or 2 decades before corruption is eradicated, if at all, so by then, there will be no more poverty in our country! Never mind if by that time, we would have already surpassed the US and Japan in population, since as you infer, the bigger the population, the better, right?
Just a thought, can you name a country that has absolutely no corruption whatsoever? Even the 3 countries you're so fond of using as comparative data, have their own share of corruption, yet they're very progressive as you say!
WAG KA NAMAN PALAGI FOCUSED SA COMMENTS MO LANG, LEARN TO UNDERSTAND OTHERS TOO AND WHAT THEY TRY TO SAY.
SURE, WE KNOW AND UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT (ISN'T IT OBVIOUS?!) THAT USA, CHINA, JAPAN HAS LARGER POPULATION THAN OF OURS YET MUCH MORE INDUSTRIALIZED THAN OURS…
BUT DIDN'T IT EVER ENTER INSIDE YOUR HEAD THAT THESE COUNTRIES (USA, CHINA, JAPAN) THAT YOU MENTIONED, DID PRACTICED REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH RELATED POLICIES (EX. 2 CHILD POLICY OF CHINA) TO ALLEVIATE THEIR OVERPOPULATION CRISIS A LONG TIME AGO????
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IWYNN IS TRYING TO SAY YET YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SIMPLICITY…. SO DO NOT COMPARE OUR OWN COUNTRY TO THOSE OTHER COUNTRIES (USA, CHINA, JAPAN) WHEN THEY ARE ALSO EVEN PRACTICING THESE RH RELATED THINGS!! (EVEN USA IS PROMOTING THE USE OF CONDOMS!!)
DO NOT COMPARE US TO THE COUNTRIES THAT ARE ALSO PRACTICING RH BILL OR WERE PRACTICING A LONG TIME AGO!! BECAUSE IT WOULD ALL END UP BEING NON-SENSE!!
GETS???

You even find how the writer of the this article ridiculed the Church, for the sake of attracting readers as funny.
The clergy has some flaws but they don't deserve to be disrespected.
Just because a person commits mistakes, he has no right to to tell what he thinks is right?
I am sure you too make mistakes like the rest of us.
Do you also want your children to ridicule you to , other people just because there are times that what you do or say, is unreasonable for them?
Would you find that funny? I don't think so, specially when you are so damn serious with what you do or say.
If that is what you believe in, then so be it! But, just to assuage your misplaced anger, my beef is not with the church per se, but with the people running it! Like when I hear mass, I have no qualms listening to the words of my chosen God, for that is the faith I chose to live by! I only get pissed when a priest interjects his personal interpretations of something, like the RH bill's provisions, and rams it down the parishioners' throats as gospel truth. Or, when that same priest obviously lies that the bill will legalize abortion and divorce and demands those attending mass to follow his misplaced convictions…
Now, if you don't have any problem with people lying straight in your face, then so be it. Oh, by the way, as I don't really know you at all, I wouldn't dare pass judgment on how faithful you are (whatever faith you have) simply based on what you write here behind complete anonimity! Hopefully, your faith affords others that same courtesy…
To the anti-RH members who posted their comments here, it seems you entirely missed the whole point of the article! It was a humorous critique in a satirical form of the various fallacies that you and the church pass out as justifications for blindly opposing the bill. Perhaps, if you could come up with more sensible, more intelligent reasons for opposing this bill, then we could have a more civil, inteligent discussion and exchange of ideas, which is what this site is for in the first place! If you can't come up with any, then it's best you keep the gutter language and cursing to yourself…

now, the administrators are trying to solve the country's problem by addressing population control in relation to prosperity or overpopulation in relation to poverty. becoming a leader is an advocacy. they are purely interested of the welfare of all living beings, men and animals. but take a look, genuine solution requires genuine advocacy. the advocates should be free from politics. a true advocate should be free from the desire to build personal wealth.
imagine a priest, a member of an intelligent class involving their self in politics. can u trust them now in leading you to salvation? confused, really, the people are confused.
education is a necessity. we have to be enlightened.
we need to be educated. education doesn't mean enrolling to school. education can be done at home, under the tree, in the neighborhood barangay, etc. where ever it is possible. but we need volunteers, advocates, ngo's, etc. we can't rely on the government alone. most government bodies are led by politicians, we can't rely on politicians. we need genuine advocates, whether they are in the present power today or they are outside of the government.
no dark sarcasm please. :-))
Regardless of whether you're for the bill or not, I agree with your observation about education. By the way, education, in a limited way, is also the crux of the RH bill.
excuse me lang po? Mukha po yatang kayo ang bulag. basahin nyo po kaya lahat ng comments, mukhang ang mga pro naman ang mahilig magmura. Haler? Obvious po kayong bias, sa totoo lang.
Hindi ko pinagkakaila na pro ako! Ang tinutukoy ko sa post ko ay mga anti na ayaw sa RH bill dahil lamang sa sinabi sa kanila ng mga pari't obispo, kahit karamihan nito ay kasinungalingan. Kung sa paningin mo ay bulag ako, sana malinaw naman ang mga mata mo!
i was really entertained by this excellent piece of satirical writing. but i nearly died laughing at the comments made by a few people whose brain cells were obviously never designed to process satire and wit. one even went so far as to use capital letters.
this only demonstrates 2 sad facts: (!) that most filipinos react reflexively, that is, they react first then think later. (2) that most filipinos are incapable of poking fun at themselves.
hahahayou got me there dude! nice joke!
support RH BILL! 🙂
Obviously,karamihan ng nagcomment dito ay nagppretend lang na they didnt get the sarcasm of this article to make it look like na stupid ang mga anti RH BILL. Magco2mment ng: "seriously?!" Yada yada bla2! Kunwaring aappeal pa! But the truth is mga pro rh bill ang mga yan tlga. I believe we Filipinos are not stupid people. Lahat ng nakabasa nito ay naintindihang nangre2verse psychology ang writer. They wouldnt have access to the internet and even into this article if they're a bunch of dumbass. I even hate to think that the writer himself is one of those people who commented opposingly,after all he's good with manipulating people's mind. So pls dont give in.
(Ok,if u wanna think im one of them then go ahead,you know better)
This doesnt have to do with me being an ANTI RH BILL person or anything. Im just saying this to stand a point. Whether you believe it or not. This is still a free country, right.

Seems like a case of POE'S LAW!
2500+ posts later, there are still idiots.
Super agree.
..hahaha..definitely..
I was once asked if the RH Bill is Pro-life or Pro-choice… I answered it is both. Get this, the RH bill is not solely, I believe, about the use of artificial contraceptives. It is also about family planning. Planning how many children u'll have, the years of space between them… and the likes. if u look into this part… I say the RH Bill is pro-life because it takes into account the life of the mother… she'll be in less distress than she'll be having with all those unplanned pregnancies. Pregnancy is not easy. I hope u know that. Also, for the children. Planning the number of your children is not that bad. What if you can't afford raising three children? will u still risk it? (come on… u get my point).. Now the pro-choice part. If you're so against using the artificial contraceptives i.e condom, then here's the good news… the RH Bill also supports natural family planning/ natural methods of contraception… u can take ur pick..^_^
To the author: it was a fun read… however… u went too all out eliciting such reactions..^^
To those whose comments are soo… whatever: Get a life… Go learn how to use humor and sarcasm..^^
Good sarcastic article, but you should've cleared your real opinion out because some Filipinos aren't really quick-witted. This comment is not for the writer, Dustin Celestino. This is for those whoever said the following statements that he used in the article.
"That’s why God made women. That’s their sole purpose in life. They’re not good for anything else…. they’re not good enough."
-I'm sure you're either gay or an old guy who never had a girl in his life or never got laid. (I'm so sorry for that.)
"If you need money, you can sell them."
-Seriously?? And you're talking about morality?!
"Women will continue to have abortions regardless of whether they are pregnant or not."
-Are you kidding me?!?! You're THAT stupid?!?!
"Currently, not a single Filipino engages in pre-marital sex or extra-marital sex."
-Oh come on look around dude! I'm sure teenagers in your family get laid more than you do.
"Unwanted pregnancies or teen pregnancies never happen to Filipino girls."
-If I introduced you to at least 50 teens who got pregnant out of wedlock, can you please jump off a cliff?
"The RH Bill is wrong because the priest said so, and priests are never wrong."
-I, myself, am anti-religion. But even if I'm not, I'm sure I'll disown my religion after hearing this statement from a priest or a catholic.
(This is for those whoever said the following statements that he used in the article.) Seriously, were these statements actually uttured verbatim by pro-life or anti advocates? I was under the impression these were just implied or the author merely reached the statements' illogical conclusions…
Just saw your 'horsemaning' pose…very sexy! lol
In what part of a cave this mr.Celestino and those people who agrees to the statement he uses in this article lives in? probably the part where the guano covers the entire place and the sun never shone. i agree with abby's statement, this guy and anyone who agrees with are just so wrong in all aspects.
(BTW, Celestino is trying to satire/sarcasm but come on not all Filipinos understand that)
YES, all mr dustin entered here is all but a kabaligtaran ng mga sinasabi niya …hehehehehehe….xD
well, we are the highest form of animals mr dustin, that is why God gave us the Brains, Dinosaurs were extinct because they got a huge head but a pea-like brain….I wish People do understand what you are trying to tell….well, sana nga mayaman ang bawat tao tulad ni pacman na kaya niyang pakainin khit sandaan pa anak niya..Go to the world and multiply ika nga sa BIble and so Pacman, If a person is responsible enough, that goes to being responsible sa pag aanak, multiply nga ng multiply eh wala namang trabaho yung kapiot bahay namin with 6 kids anong mangyayari sa kanila? I dont believe in Catholic's way of contraception coz were just human na di kayang pigilan ang nararamdaman pag dating sa Kama…I believe in RH BILL coz its the only way people who are less educated to educate themselves regarding the RH bill….napaka HI tech na ng mga bata ngayon and di natin mapigilan pag nag BF_GF na sila, so with the RH BILL they know how to control/avoid teen age pregnancy, and so should they become parents they mature and responsible enough and nakapaghanda na financially and mentally. So what you are trying to say is with P8,000 salary a month is far good enough for a family of 3.especially may baby pa….
well,ah.
Obviously,karamihan ng nagcomment dito ay nagppretend lang na they didnt get the sarcasm of this article to make it look like na stupid ang mga anti RH BILL. Magco2mment ng: “seriously?!” Yada yada bla2! Kunwaring aappeal pa! But the truth is mga pro rh bill ang mga yan tlga. I believe we Filipinos are not stupid people. Lahat ng nakabasa nito ay naintindihang nangre2verse psychology ang writer. They wouldnt have access to the internet and even into this article if they’re a bunch of dumbass. I even hate to think that the writer himself is one of those people who commented opposingly,after all he’s good with sarcasm, right?
(Ok,if u wanna think im one of them then go ahead,you know better)
This doesnt have to do with me being an ANTI RH BILL person or anything. Im just saying this to stand a point. Whether you believe it or not. This is still a free country, right.
article- very immature and naive! typical filipino… however the author has succeeded in establishing uneducated stand against RH bill. This is a pro RH bill article.
after(2850)posts making fun of idiots we get 3 more.

So you say that you don’t support RH bill, however you agree on selling your OWN FLESH AND BLOOD FOR MONEY and using them to make money?! WTF???!!! You HYPOCRITE! One of the purpose of RH bill is to PREVENT THOSE CRUEL THINGS! What is crueler? To have sex and prevent having a baby until you are mature enough or to have a baby prematurely and treat them as a money slave and as a merchandise?
Sir, try to read between the lines.
Dude/Dudette you don't understand satire? This is satire!? It is pure genius! It's simple one of the best things to rile up stupid legislators, politicians and even congressmen. They don't think that much; no they don't discern at all, in fact I wager you that none of them would understand what this is about. None of them would even understand why I'm laughing heavily from my chair.
This is suppose to piss off the people who are ANTI-RH Bill.
Hahaha!!
Cordially,
John
dude this is a nice article… but not a nice thought really… geeeeeeeeeeeez! you said : "BUT MAKE SURE YOU PAY ATTENTION IF YOU WANT YOUR SOUL TO BE SAVED." <—–seriously come on! dude how did you know that your soul has been save already? no one knows!!! your not god so you don't have the right to state who's to be save and who's not…
you also state this:
"We are not overpopulated! Look at the mountains, the jungles, the caves and the ocean floor. There are no people there!" <—————————- what the fuck!!!!!!! know what? you have some knowledge i admit… but… because of that, your lucking of some COMMON SENSE geeeeez! who would dare to live in the mountains or at the jungles??? LOL bloody hell! people choose to live at the city or at some place near the city coz it's a must! everybody want's to be successful, everyone want's their life to excel at some levels and the what you so called LIVING is not at the forest or some JUNGLES… seriously dude… grow up!
you also said:
"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." <———————– hahahahahahahahahaha what the F*** italians, japanese, singaporeans or any other races came to our country not because they are in "BAD SHAPE" hahahahaha they came here to do BUSINESS coz PHILIPPINES is one of the only country they knew that once they invested money to some business it wont cost them TOO MUCH! unlike if they are going to invest it to their countries then they will be having lot's of competitions that means huge possibility of getting BANKRUPT is POSSIBLE. that's what we called "COMMON SENSE"…
seriously i'm not against RH bill and i'm not supporting it either…. i'm in the middle… its just that… your article here has no SUBSTANCE… sorry… but your EXAGGERATING….
dude… the article is filed under humor…. lighten up… its called sarcasm…
Hahaha! Thanks for the laughs! Kudos to you and the following phrases you made:
> your lucking of some COMMON SENSE geeeeez!
> coz PHILIPPINES is one of the only country they knew that once they invested money to some business it wont cost them TOO MUCH!
> that's what we called "COMMON SENSE"…
Thanks so much for making my tummy ache out of laughing!
opzie! sorry about my previous comment.. hehe! ayan, okies, naintindihan ko na..
I HAVEN’T READ THE WHOLE STORY YET BUT DUDE, ARE YOU SERIOUS WITH YOUR OPINION OF THE PHILIPPINES NOT BEING OVER POPULATED?
“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! – DO WE REALLY HAVE TO WAIT FOR OUR JUNGLES/CAVES AND OCEAN FLOOR BEING FULLY UTILIZED BEFORE WE ASSUME THAT THE COUNTRY IS OVERPOPULATED?
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. – REALLY? WHY DO I HEARD PEOPLE WHO TRAVEL VIA MRT OTHERWISE? NAKASAKAY KA NA BA NG MRT KUYA?
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. – TALAGA? NASUBUKAN MO NA BANG MAG ARAL SA PUBLIC SCHOOL AND NANG MAKITA MO KUNG GAANO KALAKI PROBLEMA NG MGA SCHOOL SA KAKULANGAN NG SCHOOLS, SUPPLY, TEACHERS.. ETC.. MAKINIG KA KAYA NG NEWS. MAG TV KA KAYA..
opzie! sorry.. now I have read the whole article.. bravo.. sorry again for the stupid comment I made.. hehe!
This article is very funny yet full of sense. ‘NATIONAL ORGY’, haha. 😀
ahaha grabe tol natatawa ako sa mga comments dito! haha galing ng article na to! kaso nakakasad eh may mga pro na di naintindihan ang article na to. PRO people para sa atin to, isa itong malaking sampal para sa ANTI people. Sa mga ANTI RH na nagboost ang morale dahil dito, can't help myself but to laugh! haha!
hahaha!!! such a delightful read. awesome, totally awesome. i must admit, you really had me going. astonished about the 'master race' bit, astounded by the overpopulation rant, and fell off my chair at the part where you said that only men should enjoy the privilege of sex without conception. that's when i figured out this entire thing was a satire. hahaha!!!
great job.
this is a nice article.
Sure na merong ibang naki-comment ng ‘bobo’ pero ang reaction nila initially sa article ay same as the others who are bobo, nakigaya lang sa comment ng iba. Aminin.
..tama..
nakakatawa yung ibang mga tao dito. kung makapagsabi na bobo yung mga ibang nagbabasa akala mo sobrang talino. let me tell you that not everyone gets a satire. and a satire would not be a satire if not at least one person does not get it. akala mo naman nagets din nila agad, if i know nagbasa muna sila ng ibang comments bago magreact, tapos dun lang din nila nagets na satire pala ito.
isa pa i think that one goal of this article is to bring out comments of those people who really KNOW about the bill. kung wala kang ibang sasabihin kundi ‘bobo’, ‘you need more brain cells’, wag ka na lang magcomment.
I would like to commend Dustin Celestino. For creating an article that not only gets the point across, but also generates an immense number of butthurt comments from people who have lower than average IQ.
You, sir are a hero among men.
Very excellent points brought up. Continued on twitter @jayejayedepp . Keep it up.
Low IQ? Yes the supporters of Anti-RH Bill are like that.
no wonder this is categorized in HUMOR..
1 – Philippines is not overpopulated?.. there are many mountains? o sige ikaw tumira sa bundok tignan ko lang kung kaya mong mangaso, magsibat ka , the point here is not the geographical area, but the RESOURCES, konti at short po ang resources compared to the number of population, population > resources.. kaya OVERpopulated okay?!
2 – RH bill can drive the Filipinos to extinction, HILARIOUS! ..try reading all the contents of the Rh bill first, youre exaggerating..
3 – @ the 15 babies, WTF?! You'll have 15 babies and you'll send them to the street to beg for money?! are you serious?!!!! and it's not all the government's fault, Edi sana wala nang nagtrabaho aasa na lang sa gobyerno lagi, yan ang sakit ng pinoy, pala-asa sa gobyerno
4 – Rh bill is a conspiracy – LOL! you cant even explain that one! its just your sole opinion
5 – "PREISTS are never wrong",wtf?! well.. Jesus is never wrong, but preists CAN be wrong, they're NOT God okay?!..and POPEs are anti-christ according to the Bible's prophecy, so dont worship priests and popes, worship Jesus..
6 – Women are NOT only made for making babies.. masyado naman mababa pagtingin mo sa mga babae
7- pre-marital sex issue.. nagbubulag-bulagan ka ba o bulag ka talaga.. talamak na ang pre-marital sex ngayon kahit wala pang RH bill, kaya pag napasa RH bill there will be no difference, its reality, and its the evolution of the mindsets of the people that sex is not a big deal..I know its wrong but you cant change it
Haba ng reply mo. Point by point pa. Tanga kna man pla. Alam mo ang SARCASM?! Hanapin sa dictionary.
