PopDev Week Celeb 2010: let's be counted
Posted by allanloi
Population control is one of the most talked about issue in my country today. Many sectors of our society including the government are alarmed about the uncontrolled growth of our poplution. Despite the awareness of many of my countrymen about the ill effects of over population, yet the problem continues to get big for many reasons.
Government and Non-Government Organizations both local and foreign set programs that will make us all aware and plan to address the problem but despite the efforts made by this groups in our society, it has become one of the concerns up to this time.
We Filipinos do not realize how it will affect all of us in the future. We might not know the consequences we will be facing if we do not do something about it. This post will probably help some of us realize that we are all be affected by this issue and at this point in time we might not be aware but we have already experiences connected to this problem.
As a Filipino and as a general I wish to encourage everyone here in General Santos City and the whole country to take part of our weeklong Population and Development (PopDev) celebration. Below is the schedule of activities here in Gensan set for this gathering.
A signature campaign supporting the Reproductive Health Bill will also be launch, so be counted and be heard, for we all are Filipinos and we can always make a difference.
