Sterile Pinoys: Final solution to RP's food crisis?

By Aurelio A. Pena

DAVAO CITY, July 14 (a)

To solve the country’s worsening food crisis, all Filipino males should be "sterilized" by law to stop them for producing more babies.

This was one of the many suggestions made during the recent Davao regional meeting of the Economic Development Council (EDC) at the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

Dr. Rodolfo Lopez, head of the regional agricultural and fisheries council (RAFC) under the Department of Agriculture (DA), told Davao EDC members that the Philippine population program of the government was a "total failure" because it failed to stop the "runaway population growth" of the Philippines.

The Philippine population has been rising steadily and continuously at an average of two to three percent over the last 10 years, according to the National Statistics Office.

"Condoms are absolutely useless! We've been using condoms to control population for many years -- they never seem to work! Our population is still growing," says Lopez whose job at RAFC is to keep increasing the population of fish in the country to feed more Filipinos.

Food production, according to Lopez, has now been overtaken by population growth in a span of two decades and saw the "desperate need" to cut down the rate of the country's population drastically to allow the rate of food production to catch up.

Lopez urged Congress to pass a law requiring "compulsory vasectomy" for all sexually-active Filipino males who are now being blamed for "endangering the food security of the country."

In a vasectomy, a man's ability to produce semen after sexual intercourse is made useless after a minor, painless operation. Majority of Filipino men, however, has rejected this birth control method.

"The solution is simple -- if there's less population in this country, there will be less demand for food. If there's less demand for food, then there won't be any food crisis," Lopez said.

This solution was endorsed by the Department of Agriculture regional technical director Romulo Falcon as "one of the major suggestions that will be considered" during a nationwide food security conference in Manila.

"This is one of the best solutions. We'll look into this and study its possibilities in the overall food security of the country," Falcon said.

The EDC meeting in Davao was called by Undersecretary of Trade Merly Cruz to discuss the country's problem of food security amidst the rice crisis and gathered all kinds of suggestions to solve the country's food security.

"We'll listen to all kinds of suggestions and consider these inputs from the region in our effort to find ways to solve the food crisis," Cruz said.

EDC is composed of selected government regional directors, city and provincial officials and leaders from the business sector.

Other EDC suggestions offered during the meeting also included the following: 1) urge farmers nationwide to grow hybrid rice; 2) continue government subsidy for farmer's fertilizers; 3) urge people to mix camote, cassava, cardaba banana or corn with rice to reduce demand for rice; 4) cut down post-harvest losses; and 5) come up with a rice sufficiency program for the next five years.

PAGARALIN AT BIGYAN NG TRABAHO YAN ANG TOTOONG SOLUXON

Retrospective maybe?

LACK OF JOBS/SISANTE/TAMBAY>SEX SA BAHAY>ANAK
yan ang dapat soluxonan

yah so while they provide more job opportuities and better education, they might as well prevent the rapid population growth

and kill the criminals and morons/idiots/tambays/

And all their offspring too!

wag naman ang mga bata,encourage more out migrations from d' philippines by ofw's

that's so nazi-ish...

Nah we should follow what China is doing, having only one kid per family.

bigyan natin ng trabaho sila....

andkill the excess

everyone..
bobo si ranel sa tagalog.. please be nice..

i meant give them jobs or at least do something to discourage people to have sex.......

^ spread STD?

That isn't going to work, that's exactly what the Catholic Church is doing. It isn't working.

why not encourage people to masturbate,watch porn and good entertainment...which 1st world country people do...

Well that's okay...then again at the same time promote a limit on the # of kids ppl should have. I mean a one child policy should be implemented in the Philippines.

give jobs first...

Jobs will be a main factor, but still it won't keep them from having sex once they get home.

Make more food? Reclaim lands from the sea for agriculture like Amsterdam.

I still say a "One Child Policy" for the Philippines is the only solution.

1child policy with incentives to thosE who oblige is good but should not be compulsory. compulsory vasectomy? Last Time i heard of it was like in nazi germany lol lol that doctor maybe he is somekind of a national socialist. lol lol

exactly especially in those areas that dont have electricity or tv
no entertainment = sex
sex = babies

No it should be compulsory.

better economic (including education) choice for females...almost in all third world countries, study shows that the condition of women is directly proportional to the quality of life of the offspring (including how many she will conceive). also separation of church and state and a semblance of independent scientific based approach to family planning.

Can we legalize Abortion?? on special cases when the mother's life is in danger, or victims of rape??
Mass produce birth control pills.

Sex education in High School and Late Elementary. More abstinence advocating programs.

The one Child policy in China is actually creating a huge gender imbalance in China. Too many males, and too few females to supplant them. So, that was not a good idea I think.

This time it's coming from a wannabe fish-farmer.

Wasn't there once a scheme in India many year ago where a free transistor radio with fresh batteries was given to those who volunteered for sterilization of their own volition?

That sort of proactive win-win policy can be offered as an equal right to both genders too. Give them an ipod after the operation so the hills can be alive with the sound of music and cheer them up a little.

Why you asking me? We we even asking ourselves like it we need some sort of permission. This is us! This is our lives my friend. We are the Filipinos living today. This is our present and our future. Why we let superstitions hold us, why we hold them up and then cry later wondering why ours, what is ours, yours, mine, remain in the futility of shame and pity is beyond me. This neurotic anal retentiveness vagues me: the Philippine is not a backward, poor country. I've been born and raised there and majority of people are even though not rich, are pretty well educated and there are good policies and a government that if held properly is far more complex than some portray it as, all along the country is rich with natural resources. But we love superstitions and we love to despite our education to sit idly and let blind traditions carry us to nowhere, reifying symbols which even most of them don't understand full well.

Actually 'absitence' advocation is good very good in fact, however realistically it should be taught along with safe sex and just better judgment in sexual education and family planning for it to work. The more we focus of making it taboo the more the mind craves it, all along usually these religionists policies prevent actual efficient means of controlling the population. E.g. The Bush administrations anti-AIDs policy in Africa which from the lobby of the religious right had focused more on the 'idealism' of 'not having sex' instead of arming people with real means of combating the spread of diseases. These forms of lack of common sense and blind clutching of traditions, prevents actual methods from taking fruition.

But don't get me wrong. When I was in the Philippines there are a lot of modern family planning projects and as far as I'm concerned have had headways.

Develop rice that grows in seawater

Wouldn't that make people more thirsty after dinner, so more drinking, so more drunking, so more loving, so more babies, and ultimately less fish that don't like rice?

you lost me on the last one.

Dr. Rodolfo Lopez, head of the regional agricultural and fisheries council (RAFC) under the Department of Agriculture (DA), is an expurt in the science of good fishwife animal husbandry, of course!

Moreover, how many species of fish that we currently harvest from the seas eat a staple diet of rice ? So not only would we all be very thirsty from the sodium chloride in the rice, but we'd have no fish to eat with our rice crackers either. That vascectomy <sic> idea is looking like the better option at this stage.

Thank goodness we have good men like Dr Lopez to keep us from our animal instincts and criminal breeding!

Okay, unlike China, the Philippines doesn't have a preference for one gender over the other. So it probably won't be a problem if that same policy was implemented in the Philippines.

Wouldn't there be an opposite preference if you knew that all your male offspring would be made infertile though?

the truth is we need literacy that will stop over population and encourage out migration to asian countries with aging population,and we should eliminate the tambay mentality among the pinoy.....

nmn may nadevelop yung taga up iloilong bigas eh di nmn sinoportahan ng pamahalaan

Dapat iban na ang mga Toro magazines

if we encourage vasectomies dadami ang rape kasi di na malalaman at mas lalong lilibog ang mga tao

Lost you around there I'm afraid.

eh ok lang yan suzuka..
higpitan na lng and seguridad tsaka mas palupitin pa parusa sa rape.
babalatan and titi nang buhay... hihihi

Nope. Hardly work out a single word of it.

translator hun

Not really worth it, but it was a satire on the incorrect spelling in the headline and the corresponding stupidity of the idea of the fish doctor.

Here's another one that might be more suitable to Tagalog responses:

"Sinugboanong Binisaya": Is it facing anemic growth in the New Millenium?
By Satur P. Apoyon

DAVAO CITY, 12 July

The Cebuano, as a lingua franca in Central Visayas and Mindanao, is bedeviled by a lot of negative factors for its growth in the New Millennium.

Among the causes of the anemic stride of the language, popularly known as "Sinugboanong Binisaya", are the disparity in numbers of media outlets between Tagalog and Cebuano, radio and television programming imbalance, apathy of the Cebuano-speaking people themselves to nurture the Lapulapu tongue—and Filipinization.

As of the present, only Bisayan Magazine, one of the publications of the Manila Bulletin Publishing Corporation, has remained as the major absorber of literary and poetry outputs of Cebuano writers.

Her rivals in the industry—Lamdag, Alimyon, Silaw and Bag-ong Suga -- have been dead many, many years ago.

Way back in the l990’s, the SunStar Publications started to run Cebuano sections in their sister newspapers in the cities of Cebu and Davao. However, the undertaking only achieved a minimal contribution to the strengthening of the "Sinugboanong Binisaya."

Occasionally, some vernacular writers guilds in northern Mindanao and Cebu City also conduct literary and poetry contests to boost the efforts of the Bisayan Magazine’s to enhance the promotion of Cebuano literature alongside with Tagalog which is the main foundation of Filipino.

But whatever gains in relative directions of the Bisaya, SunStar and those of local literary and poetry tilts are not enough to combat the negative effects of most radio and television broadcast spelling, phonetics, vocabularies and grammar.

Even the official inclusion of the teaching of regional literature in public school secondary and collegiate classes in this decade, Cebuano among them, has somewhat failed to make an impact. Most of the literature teachers are incompetent to motivate students in literature to appreciate the subject.

There are even Cebuano-speaking Visayans who shun speaking the endangered tongue of Lapulapu as well as that of Padriga, Ranudo, Sotto and Bacalso, perhaps driven by the wrong notion that their mother dialect is inferior to Tagalog and English.

For his part, Edgar S. Godin, associate editor of the Bisayan Magazine, has strongly expressed disappointment in the Filipinization of the l70 dialects in the archipelago on selective manner in addition to the dominance of Tagalog in the established national language.

“Gipangahoyan lang ang Sinugboanong Binisaya ug ubang lumadnong pinulongan ug ang kadaghanang mga pulong gawas sa Tagalog napasagdan nga dili maapil sa pagtudlo sa Filipino,” griped Godin in his weekly column “Magtuon Tag Binisaya”, published on July 2, 2008.

And what are not selected for adoption in the now national language – Pilipino – are gradually gobbled up by Tagalog and English-influenced radio and television programs obtaining in the country today, Godin stressed in his column.

Let it be noted that Pilipino, a precursor of Filipino, was the outcome of the suggestion of Philippine Commonwealth President Manuel L. Quezon to the Philippine National Assembly on October 27, l936 to create a body for the founding of a common national language.

On November 9, 1937, the Institute of National Language was established with the participation of representatives of the leading seven dialects in the country, Tagalog and Cebuano among them. The INL is now known as Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino (KWF).

Entertaining fear that "Sinugboanong Binisaya" might be obliterated with the surge of the Pilipino language, Godin urged every concerned Cebuano-speaking region in the country to help save the tongue of their births.

Rallying behind Godin are vernacular writers and enduring contributors to Bisaya Magazine from Bohol, Leyte, Negros, Cebu and Mindanao, especially the literati from Iligan, Lanao del Norte, Bukidnon, Surigao, Agusan and Davao as well as those in Manila and abroad. (PNA)
