Are we foolishly rejecting things which the rich co nsu mer so cieties have long associated with progress? we shall examine th e real issu es involved, and show why the pro posed leg islation has proved so d ivisive. Wh at is “rep rodu ctive health?” In its plain meaning, it refers (or ought to refer) to a person’s health in both body and mind, in the mature and responsible use of his or her reproductive organs and faculties; its primary concern is the safe, licit and natural generation and proper upbringing of a new human being (a child). But as a United Nations’ verbal construct, “reproductive health” or “reproductive rights” refers to what an individual wants to do with his or her body and sexuality, including but not limited to the “right to abortion.” This language was formally incorporated into official U.N.

Brskew itz of Lincoln, Nebraska supports the Pope by excommunicating anyone joining freemasonry, proabortion, and euthanasia groups. (T he T idings, Los Angeles Diocesan Weekly Newspaper, M arch 29, 1996.p8) All of you can also become conspirators against life if you are uninformed about the schemes and tactics of the devil. F ormer Senator Franciscto “K it” Tatad presents th e half-truths ab out the Rep rod uctive Health Bill. He explains that several bills have been filed in the two H ouses of the Ph ilippine C ong ress, proposing a law on “reproductive health.” These bills have provoked the most polarizing public debates. Many are puzzled by it. Why should anybody be so afraid of “reprodu ctive health” when nearly the entire world has come to terms with it, an d freely p rac tic es contraception, sterilization

usage at the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo; it has gained wide official currency since. Thus, when some women, who had been victims of Ch ina’s “o ne male child policy,” heard it for the first time at the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, they literally danced for joy, believing they would finally be able to bear as many c hildren as th ey wanted —— only to be told pro mptly that the phrase meant “the right n ot to reproduce at all.” As used in the bills, “reproductive health” is not concerned with the safe, licit and natural generation and moral upbringing of any new human being. Its main thrust is the very opposite —— how to prevent pregnancy and reproduction through contraception and sterilization.The bills are, strictly, anti-reproduction bills.
Dumaguete 10 yrs later
Dear Editor:
D
umaguete City, a University town with gentle and friendly peo ple, a b eautiful scenic boulevard with nightlife galore where foreigners and the locals would mingle in peaceful coexistence. I will always cherish the glorious sunrise in the boulevard while having my early morning coffee at one of the joints before starting on my early morning walk. A good place health wise and peaceful at that. No fear of getting mugged even in the wee small hours of the morning. That was Dumaguete I knew then, ten years ago. Arrived recently, after being gone 10 years, as mentioned earlier, to visit my brother and his kids, I noticed a big change. A lot of new structures reflecting the booming economy of this city. However, I also felt sad because the boulevard has changed drastically. For one, the pollution is starting to get bad. The clean, fresh air which everyone used to enjoy is gone because of the various types
of transpo that ply the boulevard. The noise caused by motorbikes with no mufflers can cause stress and ear damage of course. Frequenting my old haunts, I had the chance to meet my foreign friends who have been resident here for quite a while and they told me that they have relocated elsewhere to the suburbs where there is peace and quiet. They only come to the city to buy their supplies and meet their frien ds in t heir fa vorit e cafes o r restaurants. In fairness, I noticed the presence of police visibility which makes a visitor feel secure. Hope that this is permanent or is it because the fiesta will be celebrated soon? In closing, progress has its ups and downs. One should focus on the downside so that your city will entice more local an d fo reig n visit ors and the local residents can start breathing fresh, clean air once more! – DMS
PhilHealth bares new mode of remittance reporting
I
n its continued effort to provide online services to its members and stakeholders, PhilHealth launches the Electronic Premium Remittance System (EPRS). This system is a web-based application which may be used by employers in the preparation and submission of their monthly remittance reports. Employers who wish to adopt the said reporting scheme will be required to attend the scheduled orientation of the PhilHealth Collection Section on activation and creation of their user
accounts. A certificate will be given upon activation of user account to access the system. Once enrolled in the EPRS, an employer will no longer be allowed to use all other modes of remittance reporting. Based on Circular No. 30, series of 2010, those who will be using the system must meet all the following requirements: internet access and email address; have their own PhilHealth Employer Number (PEN); have an updated list of employees
with PhilHealth Identification Numbers (PINs); and are directly remitting to PhilHealth through the Over-theCounter Collection System. Employers who cannot com ply with the basic requirements for EPRS may continue using the manual reporting for those with 10 employees or less, or softcopy reporting such as the PhilHealth Premium Remittance System (PPRS) and the Excel File Template.#
