In the Philippines, hunger is a reality many face each day. An estimated 3.4 million Filipinos have experienced having no food on the table for many different reasons. And as the population grows, the incidence of malnutrition and hunger also increases.

***GMA tackles a perennial problem here in the Philippines. I say again, with all my might: Poverty can be solved through education. There will be enough for everybody if we start a genuine population control. It should have started twenty years ago. We have to do it now.
When I first heard about the opening lines of Das Kapital: "I hate all the gods", I could not agree. Even to read it. It is indexed in my personal "Index of prohibited books". Whoever says...etc....let him be anathema.
Now, I understand why Marx started his book thus. There was a time when Plato (Republic) hinted on the preaching of a god - so as to tame the beast in man. Augustine followed him in City of God. Voltaire was trying to make a comic of himself: "If God were non-existent, it is necessary for man to invent him".
Those crap could not be applied now.
Let this be our statement now. If god and his idea interferes with human life - and I mean "life to the fullest" - let him be anathema. The furtherance of the human species, the propagation of his species, demands that population should be controled. Else, we will experience hunger. And hunger will kill this nation. and make it another Ethiopia.
We are not allowing birth control because we foster pro-life. Is hunger pro-life? After the "miracle of life" is born to this world, we kill it later by hunger.
