For this interview, I went to the house of a friend of mine and interviewed his mother on her thoughts about the RH Bill. My interviewee was Mrs. Vicky Castro a housewife in her late forties.
When I asked what she knew of the RH Bill, I was actually surprised by her answer that she really did not know of the RH Bill. Though she claimed that she heard it in the news but she was not really affected by the issues concerning it. As I may quote:
“Ang alam ko lang naman diyan eh, yan yung sagot ng mga politiko sa overpopulation ng Pilipinas. Maliban dun siguro yung balita tungkol sa Sex Education pati pag bida sa mga contraceptives.”
She also thought that passing the Bill was useless because she was able to raise her family well without family planning and that its only about “discipline” among couples.
“Dapat matutunan ng mga mag-asawa talaga mag-pigil (laughs). Dapat hindi lang naka-sentro sa sex. Importante din magkaroon ng ibang pagkakaabalahan. Disiplina lang.”
Overall, what she thought was there were other pressing matters besides the issue of family planning and reproductive health which I also believe that it’s quite true as the RH Bill is not the sole answer to the problems of our country.
