Had a Freakishly Awesome Dream... And I Actually Remembered It


It's the first time in months since I woke up too early and didn't even complain about it. Why, you wonder? Let me start from the beginning. Around 9AM, Joebeth and Shyra, two of my closest buds in the PT department came over. Joebeth, so he could watch Mar. And Shyra so she could just...um... be Shyra! Haha. I woke up about a minute before they arrived, probably because I could hear their voices from the first floor. I literally jumped when they started knocking on the window. I was going to have to get up sooner or later so I went to open the door. When they finally settled in, Joebeth by the TV and Shyra chillin' on the bed, I went, "Girl! Ang ganda ng panaginip ko! Kailangan ko nang ikwento or else makakalimutan ko na!" Well, something like that. You can't really expect me to remember every conversation in my life verbatim, can you?

So I started telling her all about it. I was in that phase where the dream was starting to get blurry so I had to let it all out lest I forget all about it. Please take note that I am not going to tell it like a story where there's an intro, body, and conclusion, blah, blah, blah. I'm just recounting all the important details that made it into the awesome dream that it already is.

My dream was about one of my celebrity crushes.(Yeah, I know it sounds pathetic. So sue me.) I won't mention his name in case some of his fans accidentally Google my site and subject my blog to flames and humiliating comments. Anyway, I remember us owning some sort of web designing firm. I told Shy it was a radio station but I was trying to sum it all up before I forgot so it was the first thing that came to mind when I was describing the dream to her. We actually own a printing press but in my dream we seemed to be in talks with LL(code for the celebrity and it's not LL Cool J, mind you!) to create some sort of promotional project for Halloween. No one actually said Halloween in the dream, but since LL was wearing an enormous sushi costume, then what else could I think? His manager was also some type of food but I can't remember what kind. All I know is, he was yellow and orange. Maybe a hotdog in a bun?

So, anyway, I had these two assistants. I don't remember their faces but I seem to recall that I'm acquainted with them in real life. I remember that one of them is called Tinsly because in one part of the dream she was introduced to me. But then I forgot and I remember asking her, "Ano nga ulit name mo?" And that's when she sort of laughed and said Tinsly. But I'm pretty sure that's not her name in real life. I mean, who names their kid Tinsly?

I arrived late that day and found LL and his manager talking with Tinsly and the other girl, let's call her OG.(I'm aware how unimaginative that sounds.) OG was sitting beside Tinsly in front of a computer looking at some images of LL in his sushi costume. LL and his manager were standing behind them looking at the computer as well. In the dream, I'm aware that I am crazy-psycho in love with LL so I-I hope you know that I would never do this in real life-sauntered(yes, sauntered. with the hip swaying and the smoldering gaze. i am a dream slut.) over to them and kind of pushed myself in between the girls and Logan. I remember saying something witty that I would never ever think of saying in real life. Don't you just hate it when dreams do that? I mean, talk better, look better and act better than you do in real life. It does not help increase my self-esteem at all.

And here's the uber-awesome part. LL actually looked up and really looked at me. Smiled that really, really bone-melting smile and answered whatever the heck it was that I said. Fuhk, this entry's getting a little too cheesy for my taste. Then things happen. I'm pissed that I don't remember the details but I have this feeling that we sort of talked like new friends and walked around the office. The funny thing is, I didn't really feel any romantic undertones in the dream, but I swear, LL seemed like he liked me! For real! I even asked for an autograph and he said yes!

But I'm proud to say it didn't turn into some sleazy fantasy dream because the rest of the dream was spent by me running all over the office looking for a camera so we could take a picture. Another effed up part of the dream: NO ONE HAD A CAMERA! Not even a friggin 1MP camera phone or a webcam!!!!(I don't know why I'm angry because it's not as if I could actually see the picture when I woke up). LL was in a hurry so I didn't have time to become slightly conscious in order to control the dream and conjure up a high-end digital camera that coudl shoot a thousand different shots per second so LL could reach his next appointment on time.

Instead, I asked for the autograph he promised and said, in perfect English without the hesitation and stutter that I always seem to possess while speaking that language, "Don't worry about it. I'll settle for the autograph because I have this feeling that I'll probably see you again someday." *dramatic pause where we look at each other quietly* "I mean, when you're new movie comes out." He smiles and takes the pen and paper I offered. I spout out some cliche'd autograph message like "To Denden, You're greatest fan..." But he ignores me and writes something swirly and pretty on the paper which I CANNOT FUCKING REMEMBER!!!! Although, I think my dream self knew what it was.

The dream ended with me asking Tinsly to get my lunch, which coincidentally was sushi. But the effed up part about that was the sushi was made up of raw pig innards sliced to look like sushi and I still ate it. I even dropped it on the floor and proceeded to eat the ones that didn't touch the ground for more than five seconds. My dream self is so gross. But my reality self believes wholeheartedly in the five-second rule if the food in question is cooked, didn't land on a germy public surface, on mud or on a pile of shit. While I was eating my food from the floor behind the computer room door(that's where I dropped my pig-guts sushi) when LL barges in! He sees me eating the sushi, doesn't react except to say that he enjoyed spending the day together.

And then he asked me to marry him and we lived happily ever after.

It's obvious I was already awake when that last part happened.

Anyway, I also did something stupid after I woke up. I opened my hand and waited for the autograph to fall on it. Yep. I actually did that. Expecting a genuine prop from a dream of a crush to magically appear. That is how sad and pathetic I really am.

Other details in the dream: I was rich. And I had a kid. Seriously. I wanted him to call me mommy because he kept calling his yaya(oooh! i could afford a yaya!) mama. But then I totally forgot about him around the time LL appeared in the dream. Shows you how good a mother I'm a gonna be. Lol.

And that's that.

The George O'Malley Theory



After watching the final episode of Grey's Anatomy, it got me thinking, what the hell is gonna happen next?

Reports have been confirmed that T.R. Knight is out, and Heigl is still in, although no one knows exactly what will become of her. Is she a 24-episode coma patient or will she live her life as a paraplegic or a vegetable?

Anyway, this isn't about her. George O'Malley. Sweet, sweet George who couldn't even hurt a fly joined the army, tried to pick up a girl, saved her life and got dragged by a bus a whole block before anyone even noticed. Poor, poor George.

Anyway, if you're an avid fan of Grey's Anatomy, you should have watched the whole season, ergo, you have seen the episodes with the face transplant and voice box replacement surgeries.

Was that a coincidence or were the creators of the show setting up the audience for a good old soap opera cliché, only way cooler because it really is possible and they have all the technical terms and thingamajigs for such operations? Were the episodes concerning these surgeries meant to prepare us all for the biggest transition Grey's Anatomy has ever tackled, apart from Isaiah Washington's controversial departure, that is?

Okay, so let me get to the point. George's face was crushed and unrecognizable, which definitely needs massive plastic surgery if he does survive the annoying cliffhanger that ended a few months back.

Face crushed + face transplant + voice box replacement = NEW CHARACTER

Only not so new, because the writer's will have to implement a different-faced George O'Malley into the scene. If the audience loves him, then that lucky actor will sign on for the whole season. If not, they can just say that his friends can't get over his new face and he'll just say that he'll join the army anyway so he won't have to live like that.

Awesome theory, huh?

Man, I need to get a life.

PERCY JACKSON STARS IN A MOVIE



I have been waiting for this forever! After reading the ebooks(oopsie!), scouring the different National Bookstores and whatnot and practically going on hunger strike for the latest installments which have not yet been published illegally on the web, I have finally finished the series! I'm working on a fanfic which I hope will go to extreme levels on the review scale like my other stories did, so I guess it wasn't gonna be long before the MOVIE came out!

I mean hello? Gods, goddesses, demigods! My all-time favorite past-time(which is mythology, if you're wondering) finally in a setting worth wasting time on! DO you people have any idea how hard it has been all these years to rely on classical presentation of mythology instead of the contemporary portrayal that the renowned Rick Riordan has given us? No, you don't! I have been stuck in libraries, watching gore-filled movies about Greeks where they consider mythological beings as metaphorical! It has been very educational, I admit, but hardly entertaining. Now, I will finally get to watch Zeus, Hade and Poseidon in the "latest" real world. Nice one, WB and Fox Pictures!

Featuring a star-studded cast and a couple of rising stars in the making, with the direction of Christopher Columbus(Harry Potter, Bicentennial Man, Home Alone 2) and cinematographer Stephen Goldblatt(Lethal Weapon 2,Batman Forever, Batman and Robin, Charlie Wilson's War), this might just be the next biggest blockbuster since TWILIGHT(*snorts*). Craig Titley, please, do not let us down!

Nothing else to say but, I LUV'ET!

Can't wait! Can't wait! Can't wait!

Ariel Winter



Oh MY Gawd! What the heck will she look like when she grows up? A little cutie who will definitely be grow up to be one heck of a hottie..

Little girls everywhere will envy Ariel Winter.

Prom Night: A Classic Tearjerker



Slasher movies are in itself just drama genre movies with a lot more blood, gore and convenient sharp objects. Prom Night is one example. Everyone's happy and drunk at the coolest prom they've ever seen. They're all talking about the future and sh*t and then BAM!!! Psycho killer escapes insane asylum and massacres all of your friends(and teh occasional hotel staff). Isn't that just so, so, so, so sad!?

Anyway, my eyes weren't bored but my brain was a little bit tired of all the waiting and anticipating of the story to unfold. So I guess I'll give it three stars because I think the camera work and setting was amazing, but they should have gotten better extras(the main cast was awesome), and the plot was just a little too used up and the way the slasher murdered people(walking while vic is running, magically appearing behind victim and then disappearing just as quickly, and the classic: victims screaming bloody murder but no one in the surrounding rooms ever hear them) was just pathetic and a waste of digitized space(as opposed to film reels used ages ago).

Center Stage: Turn It Up



Anything using Jem's song as the score in a ballet merits my vote on the Awesome Scale of Awesomeness anytime!

Aside from the Rachele Brooke Smith's mediocre acting skills,which can be disregarded because of her overall hotness and attitude, the movie is almost as good as its predecessor. Ballet never looked so cool!

P.S Crystal Lowe should have been it more. Even though people think she's just for bombshell roles, I beg to differ. She's be awesome as a bombshell and an assassin or something! I kinda like her!

Hardcore Illinois Gay Man

Lafayette Reynolds played by Nelsan Ellis: The most awesome badass character I've seen since Stanford Blatch in Sex and the City!!









Lurve Him!! He is probably one of the most original characters ever written!

Who woulda thunk it?

A gay man with some to none standards when picking a partner to the nasty, dances while he cooks and is hooked up with the wildest shit that side of Louisiana. All I can say is, GD!!

And I adore his lines. There is not a minute when I am not entertained. Awesome. Just awesome.

Tila Tequila: Will.I.Am's Knight In Glittery Armor

So, I'm following Tila on her twitter page because she is just so enterttaining. She wouldn't be famous, if she wasn't right?

Anyway, so I was surprised to see tweets pertaining to Will.I.Am getting slandered by Perez Hilton,whom I am also following. Tila says,

Will.I.Am just texted me....getting more info.....brb

Ok...just got the low down from Will.I.Am....He said "Why the hell would I be doing socking Perez Hilton? Please." there u go. The truth.

Why do people have to be such drama queens and lie or exaggerate?? Will.I.Am is my homie and he would never do that! Shame to blame him. SMH

Another update from will.I.Am about Perez He just texted me... "Wow!! What a bone head..."

Unless Perez is drunk N someone knocked him out N he thinks it was a Will.I.Am look-a-like. But Will has no idea what Perez is talkin about

Im not starting any beef. Just relaying the truth straight from Will.I.Am and what Perez was saying. NOT TRUE! Lord....Drama Queens.

I'm gonna twitpic the text message from Will.I.Am to show ya'll that Perez Hilton is lying. Brb.

So, anyway. Even if it turns our Will.I.Am did do it-I'm not saying he did, just being open-minded cuz who am I to know what Will.I.Am's even capable of??-at least we know that Tila Tequila is always ready to stand up for a friend.

Hope it's not true because, damn it, Will.I.Am is too cool to be beating up on an online tabloid writer. Perez is very influential nowadays and if this turns out to be true, Will.I.Am is in deep s**t. Goodbye next world tour! Can you say, Avril Lavigne? Dayum..

Iron Man 2



Set to be released on May 2010, this movie will probably outshine the last one that stayed on the top of the box office until I don't know, almost forever???

I have a feeling this one'll surpass the Dark Knight in the highest grossing movie category this side of the millennium!

With a star-studded cast, including Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson, as well as some other famous people I know but my viewers probably don't, this movie might just be the biggest event the world will see in 2010. Except for Twilight Saga: Eclipse, I guess but I'm still rooting for the AMAZING adaptations of my favorite cartoon, comic book, novel and also video games!

TEKKEN movie, you better not disappoint!!!

Tila Tequila Discusses Her Boobies

The star of A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila, obviously, Tila Tequila spent some time talking to fans on her Ustream account.

Dayum, dayum and dayum..She greeted a delivery person in a see-through wife beater and plaid underwear! WTF?? Awesome.. It's a long one so watch it to see her calling her dog a ho and some other funny stuff.. Haha..Super entertaining.. Lol.

Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun Li...

...sucked BIG TIME! Come on! What the heck happened? I've been waiting on this for ages and this is all they've got?? Okay, I admit, the fight scenes rocked but what about the actors and story? Couldn't they get anyone else besides the Desperate Psycho Husband Neal McDonough, the overdosed-on-steroids Michael Clarke Duncan and that tralala has-been Chris Klein? Urgh! This is so disappointing that I won't even waste time posting a pic. Watch it for yourself and see your money go down the draaiiin!

Real People feat. Pink In Trafalgar Square



T-Mobile: Life's For Sharing...

Sharing mics, that is! Check out Pink's awesome concert in Trafalgar Square where mics were passed around so everyone could belt out on the humongous plasma screen all around the square. Young and old. Big and small. You name it. They sang along with Pink.

And what about the rock diva? She had no intention whatsoever of hounding the stage and let everyone sing a piece of her chart-topping song "So What". Power to the cause of T-Mobile!

Life's for sharing! Share sum luv!

Jacob's Girlfriend

This is just something I wanna say. If anyone reads it, then good.

I've been a fan of this BOY since he was in the movie with the over-active parents who constantly went forth and multiplied. I was, like what? Twelve? Anyway, as an avid fan, I became curious and started digging through his online news and found out that he had a non-showbiz girlfriend. Let's call her GIRL.

According to her *** age they've been going out for ** months, and he wasn't even famous then. I saw pictures of them going to prom together and just plain ol' having fun. It didn't make me want to hate her. It made me like the two of them together.

Unfortunately for them, everything comes with a price. Now, aside from BOY being hounded by the media, now GIRL has to retreat on her own as well because she's being given a little too much attention than she really wants.

No more online pictures, no more adding random people just to make more friends, and now she has to put up with the media hyp about BOY having a new girlfriend. I hate publicists and their irrational ideas on how to get their stars in the limelight.

It is just so sad, but I will not pity them. They have their own reasons why this is happening and these are just my thoughts. They will handle this themselves and fans raving on about how some other girl-that I totally like because she's talented and adorable-is better than GIRL is not helping one bit.

I hope they don;t drive these two apart because I think that they will be stronger because of this and no amount of media hype will ever take that away from them.

Twilight Quandary




Twilight Quandary

The Twilight Saga, as of now, is the most popular franchise since Harry Potter. Millions of women want to be Bella Swan because of Edward Cullen. Most of those women also want to be Kristen Stewart just so they could get a taste of Robert Pattinson as well. But what made this story so special? Is it the amazing, yet recently tapped talents of now-renowned writer Stephenie Meyer? Or is it because of the media hype surrounding the latest movie that somehow got lucky with their uber-hot C-list cast?

Honestly, I can’t decide which. I’ve already posted this story about how I came to discover Twilight so this is for the latest readers. I was slightly obsessed with the movie The Covenant so I decided to look up one of my favorite actors in the movie, Toby Hemingway. I scoured the YouTube site fanvids including him and I came across one that featured him as some guy named Jasper Hale.

It was an amateur video about a book named Twilight and even though I barely understood what it was about, I kind of liked the idea of it all. When I saw the section about related videos, I was surprised to a lot more juts like it. I watched and watched all day, trying to understand what was going on in the videos.

I finally gave in to my curiosity and Googled the keywords twilight, jasper hale and stephenie meyer. The results showed me the Twilight Lexicon site, Stephenie Meyer’s author site and the book’s Amazon page. I was immediately fascinated by the hype surrounding the book. What was so great about it? Why were there hundreds of fans bent on shouting their praises to the world through blogs, fansites and Myspace?

I was already engaged in Fanfiction.Net, so I was surprised to see the Twilight section having thousands of entries. It even had more than Pirates of the Caribbean, which was saying a lot. There were almost ten thousand stories that time. Now, I think it’s accumulated more than the Harry Potter section. So anyway, I thought if a lot of people are writing fanfiction about this, then this “Twilight” must be worth looking into.

So I did something that I’m embarrassed to admit. I downloaded an illegal ebook. Okay, yeah, yeah. I suck and I’m not helping the authors and artists and also the economy but my curiosity got the best of me. Okay, so when I started to read, I was immediately hooked. I mean, wow! This is new. Vampires…that aren’t exactly vampires? I mean, it was amazing how this woman, Stephenie, delved into the scientific and biological aspect of creating vampires. Admit it, her explanations were out of this world but they had points.

Vampires as animals. Primal in their need for blood. There is nothing artistic about wanting to suck someone dry without any of the dramatic flare of causing death to be the ultimate experience. They’re just hungry so they’ll probably kill you. Yes, there is indeed the psycho vampires, but that’s another topic I’ll discuss later on.
Sparkling skin? Unbelievable, but really, it’s kind of understandable because these vampires are indeed hard as rocks and without blood, their skin becomes translucent. What else would translucent rocks look like when a light source as bright as the sun hits them? But P.S, I don’t get why they need to be hard as a rock, but hey, it’s original and frankly, the rapid regeneration thing was starting to get old.

Aside from that, nothing pulls in an audience more than the promise of true love and the heartbreaking separation it entails in some climactic event in the story. It was good. It was really good.

So then, I asked my mom to buy me the books while she was in Australia. I had no idea they were expensive, so I had to put up with the need-for-money speech when she finally gave the first three books to me. Breaking Dawn was still in the works at that time.

I was so into it. I mean, it was refreshing to read something as original as this and I couldn’t keep myself from getting involved with the hype. At that time, the movie was just announced but my country hadn’t really heard of Twilight yet. There might have been a really small percentage of fans at the time I read it and the book wasn’t even selling in the market. Either those Filipinas had their books shipped internationally, or they sneakily downloaded the ebook like I did. Haha.

Anyway, I joined several fansites. I browsed the fanarts. I even subscribed to Stephenie’s mailing list and watched out for the updates on the movie. I wrote fanfiction about it, and let me just say that a lot of people loved my stories! Even though they’re not finished. Haha. I discussed the book and the movie that was under production with other fans. I even gained a new friend because of it. Shout-out to my friend Mel!

All in all, Twilight has sort of changed my life. I learned to appreciate books more and it made me want to write something just as good(although, it hasn’t happened yet.haha). It also gave me something productive to engage in.

But sadly, something happened that changed the way I saw Twilight. It was no longer the most interesting book I’ve ever read in a long time. It was now a sordid fad that even the illiterate people monopolized.

How could a wonderful piece of literature turn into media fodder in such a short span of time? Why is Harry Potter still respected, even if it’s becoming less and less popular? I loved Twilight. It was the perfect model for my other works and stories, and then the dissection came.

I had no idea how stupid the whole concept was. It wouldn’t have been if nobody pointed it out. Bella’s an insecure and hormonal teenager who needed an unrealistically perfect boyfriend to make her feel good about herself and this didn’t even happen until the fourth book when she was invincible, beautiful and immortal. Talk about helping teenagers cope with their insecurities and self-esteem. Nice going, Steph.

What about the Perfect Guy? Edward is an impractical character that has no basis to why he does what he does except for the fact that the author said that that’s just how VAMPIRES are. They feel too much. The very natural trait of animals when they mate converted into human thoughts and actions should be explanation enough. What’s Bella’s excuse?

I might be cynical in thinking this, but human beings don’t act irrationally like Bella unless they have a psychological disorder. You don’t die for your alleged soul mate after dating for a few months. It’s not even an original idea because it’s been used dozens of times. An example would be Night World. I read the series when I was like, ten? Eleven? At least in those stories, there was a supernatural explanation for the Soul Mate concept. So I repeat, what’s Bella’s excuse? Answer: Because Stephenie says she’s SPECIAL.

What about the fourth book? It sucked. Big time. I was not amused with Bella and Edward. The other side stories were okay, but their love story had become very, very tired. If I hadn’t read so much fanfiction, I would have probably appreciated it but the book was too predictable in some aspects. That’s why, once more, I simply downloaded the ebook and refused to waste my allowance on the book.

I have a lot more to say. So much that I’m actually getting tired of rambling on about this so I’ll stop with the hacking and slashing of the book. I still have to discuss the movie, you know. I guess what I’m trying to say is, I’m disappointed. I’m not sure if it’s because after being such a loyal fan, I can easily put Twilight down like this. Or if it’s because of the attention that started to surround the books made it a focus of the public and most of the literature world that it’s been degraded to the point that it’s considered as the world’s most successful and popular fluff story of all time.

I’m glad that a lot of people are starting to read more now, but what the hell? They just read Twilight and don’t even try to find books that are as good as Twilight or even better! It’s a mockery to those of us who appreciate books and the pain and hard work of the authors who write them. So, what now? You can’t even be bothered to read the other books about vampires(if that’s your preferred genre) or teenage romances that don’t feature deux ex machina’ed characters and too-perfect-for-words leading men!

And what about the movie? Kristen Stewart is a slightly talented actress that doesn’t know any other persona except for the angsty teenager who frowns and sighs and cries all the time if she’s not biting her lip and running her hand through her hair for her current love interest. She’s pretty, I love her. But she is so not a Bella. Bella is not a sultry, smoky-eyed teenager. Kristen is hot, but BELLA is not. Kristen doesn’t do Simple Jane. I’d probably believe it more if they picked that chick from A Series of Unfortunate Events. Now, she’s a Bella.
Robert Pattinson. Hot, but he doesn’t know how to act and speak with an American accent at the same time. Too hot to be related to while watching the movie. And he will never ever be good enough to be Stephenie’s Edward. No one is. Nice going, Steph. Let’s see if any guy can get a date now without putting glitter lotion on their bodies.

The movie didn’t stray too much from the book so that was very impressive. I’ve long since accepted that film and novel mediums can never ever be the same. There will always be adjustments and it’s up to the screenwriter to try and merge the two mediums and be as loyal as possible. Unlike some that I don’t want to mention. (*cough*Dragonball Z*cough*)

I loved the scenic cinematography, hated some of the indoor camera job. IT’S NOT “THIRTEEN” CATHERINE! Twilight is not a documentary. So kudos to “some” of the crew. Lots of kudos to the casting director. But I stand by my Steven Strait Jacob. There will never be another in my heart.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that, if Twilight weren’t so popular, maybe I wouldn’t be thinking like this right now. Its popularity has become its downfall. How could the book that should have been my favorite, be the one that I learned to insult so much?

In conclusion, I am a hypocrite. I HATE WHAT HAPPENED TO TWILIGHT. But I will always love it.

Underworld Fanfic Musings

A Poem Written In The Midst of My Life

This is a poem I wrote a few days ago. It's posted on my Friendster as well and it still doesn't have a title. Seriously, how original would it be if I named it "Young Girl"? Read on...

A young girl once wished
For the most perfect kiss
Granted, a kiss
But not what she wished

A young girl once dreamed of,
A flower from her love
A flower she did hold,
With thorns three days old

A young girl once asked for
A love she would die for
And as she lay down on the floor
Alive, he walked out the door.

Reproductive Health Bill Economic Concerns as Discussed and Argued by Me

Check this out. It's my constructive speech for my recent debate competition last semester during the PGM celebration in San Pablo Colleges.

House Bill No. 5043
Reproductive Health and Population Development Act of 2008
Economic Concerns

I firmly believe that the implementation of House Bill no. 5043 and its accompanying stipulations will serve as a sustaining factor in the continually declining economy of the Philippines. Why, you might ask? Here are my points.
According to the House Bill No. 5043, Section 2, paragraph 3, the declaration of policy states that “This policy is anchored on the rationale that sustainable human development is better assured with a manageable population of healthy, educated and productive citizens.”
The population of the country is far from manageable, a large percentage of the citizens are anything but healthy and most of them are not educated well enough to be productive citizens.
I say the population is unmanageable because according to the national census provided by the national statistics office from 1799-2007 there has been a constant increase with no breaks in the succession. In the old days we could call this progression—more Filipinos meant more manpower, which in truth is one a principal asset of every country according to section 3, subsection d of the RH bill—but nowadays with the increase of prices in the consumer market and poor allocation of resources it would be fitting to call this regression.
According to the census by region, the areas with the highest population and growth rate percentage like NCR, Central and Western Visayas and Southern Mindanao, are those with high density with the most poverty-stricken sects or those with the least access to the reproductive health benefits given by the government.
You see, without the benefits of reproductive health education these areas will continue to grow in population uncontrollably. With the rapid growth of population the resources needed to live contentedly in our country also rapidly diminishes.
A small population with large resources means more for everyone. A large population with small resources means less for everyone. A large population with large resources is far from our reach as of now, but in the future, with the help of this bill and other economic legislations, we might be able to achieve this state.
It’s basic economics, really. The lower the supply—the resources needed for allocation—the demand for it becomes greater. What are these resources?
Jobs needed to provide families with. The keyword would be “provide.” How does one provide for their family when their average income is less than a hundred pesos per day?
According to statistics, forty-four percent (44%) of Filipinos still earn less than two dollars per day, and about two-thirds of them are engaged in activities that rely heavily on environmental and natural resources.
Yes, according to the NSO, the labor force participation has increased in the last two years. Since last year, it has increased from 63.3 to 64.6. As minute as that 0.7% sounds, it still makes a difference. But just because 60 million people have jobs doesn’t mean that the remaining 5 million or so have to be ignored. Why not go all the way and add another way to help increase that percentage with the RH bill?
According to the terms of the Reproductive health bill, by promoting responsible parenthood, the RH Bill will aim to encourage parents to respond to the needs and aspirations of the family and children more particularly through family planning. By being responsible parents, Filipino citizens can raise their children properly without the problems that most families encounter like mistimed and unplanned conceptions.

This leads to the predicament of making ends meet to provide for children in the same age bracket who require almost the same amount of financial support, therefore making the distribution of resources among family members as limited as possible. Unplanned conceptions pose the same problem because most couples have more children than they can possibly support with their given income.

Other than that, the cost of education is still rising even with the support of the public school system. With the increase in size of family members, not only does expenditure per student decline but also actual school attendance declines and child labor increases as household size increases.

And it’s not just the expenditures that are the problem. The ratio of a student to a classroom 1:100, there is only one doctor for every 27,842 Filipinos and one nurse for every 18,638 which should be 1 nurse for every 5000 people. Hospitals themselves are getting overcrowded as well. This leads to more people getting sicker thus nullifying the point of having healthy productive citizens.

The population problem may or may never be resolved but the implementation of this House Bill will make a difference. The economic improvement element of the House Bill is not the highest priority, but is an essential part in a larger sense.

What the people who oppose the RH Bill neglect to consider is that although there are other legislations that could fix the economic problems of the Philippines, there will still be a significant change in the situation once the RH Bill is passed. Why don’t these people try and think outside the box and see that this bill is indeed beneficial to the economy? The point of it all is, with the implementation of the RH bill, the economy of the country will improve agreeably, if not drastically. With that in mind, I rest my case.
