I, for the life of me can't see what the church has to do with it...actually contraception was mentioned in the programme. ..It stated that it was unaffordable for the impoverished. ..The very people having these enormous families. ..you ask these big families why they have so many children. ..I'll bet you the reasons given will have nothing to do with the Catholic Church.
Any church frowns against divorce but folks nowadays in the west easily give in to it. .such is the ease of the process.

Wow, what an inspiring documentary.
We have been into all of those places in Tondo and Smokey Mountain with a British Charity. You really don't get a sense of how desperate it is until you've been there.

The Catholic Church has EVERYTHING to do with this. The Philippine Government has tried to bring in a reproductive health bill that has been vehemently opposed by the Catholic Church.
Their attitude is disgraceful and is one of the main factors holding the back economic development in the Philippines.

Much like the church of England has everything to do with what goes on here
I think you'll find the reasons behind having big families is in the hope at least one of them can get them out the mess the previous generation found themselves born in. ..not to mention being cared for in later life. ..Unfortunately that's the crux of it.
You'll also find a lot of the girls don't like doing or taking any form of contraception. ..my wife's idea of contraception was to have no sexual intercourse at all. ..job done.
The Catholic Church may hold some power in Government but on the street. ..In my experience, the folks do as they please

Was it the church who said no to the Americas all those years ago when it could of been a country like it's modern neighbours by now. ...The church is being made a scapegoat

Agreed, we both thought it was a great programme, we watched it with my parents who have never been to the Philippines.
What was an eye opener for our parents was the extravagance at the private hospital where there was pearls and gold on the walls and the lady who was happy to show off her wealth and yet in Tondo people are living on a rubbish tip. We don't see those extremes here.
Glad to see that lady from Tondo managed to achieve her goal of getting a full time job at Citibank.
