MALTHUSIAN EVILS IN THE PHILIPPINES

MALTHUSIAN EVILS IN THE PHILIPPINES


By Eric V. Encina



The anti-life and anti-family advocates and their atrocious supporters and financiers have infinite strategies of adroit and astute tactics and clever ways to continually infiltrate the Filipino people through their western-based agenda through legislation, intimidation, misrepresentations and fraud.


At present, the anti-life and anti-family advocates with international and global connections have already filed 21 anti-life and anti-family bills of various concerns of very imaginable deception and sham and now being consolidated into an omnibus law, the House Bill 3773 covering reproductive health, population control policy and programme, mandatory two-child policy and sex education for the youth. Of all these bills, accordingly, at least, 3 bills promote and advocate the use of artificial contraceptives, abortifacients in the guise of promoting and protecting Filipino “women’s health”.

The basis of argument of most anti-life and anti-family advocates, supporters, proponents and financiers is the erroneous understanding and belief that there can be economic growth and development when the population is low in density or in decline. Thomas Robert Malthus was an English demographer and political economist on his time who lived around 1766 to 1834. He prognosticated that the increasing world population would outrun the food supply that believed to be leading to poverty, hunger and lack of foods. He developed a pessimistic philosophy, obviously on the fear of growing population in his time, that proven to be spurious.

Malthusian economic philosophy advocated solutions, but wrong solutions. Malthus also advocated moral restraint and vice which sound good, that were interpreted during his time as population control strategy called for late marriage and sexual abstinence but on the negative side or evil side, the Malthusian economy or philosophy also advocated infanticide, abortion, murder, contraception and homosexuality and others, that would be applicable to the poor and working classes. In the Malthusian argument, only the lower social classes would assume responsibility for societal ills.

Many influential peoples, educated with titles have adopted Malthusian philosophy and economy and even misused or misinterpreted Malthus theories.


It is unfortunate that Filipinos are very much influenced by Malthusian theory that leads to all and many moral evils. They continue to cling to Malthus theory as advocators, adherents and promoters and even radically misinterpret his thoughts.

Many of the anti-life and anti-family advocators and of those who claimed to be population management experts or peritus in the Philippines and in the world use the Malthus theory worst than Malthus himself, for their own insatiable vested interest and their vain desire to follow or emulate the Western culture of licentious behaviours in the name of freedom and democracy but ipso facto, the wrong use of it. They are engaged in adroit conspiracy putting up some sorts of smokescreen to keep them looking at the fact that has effectively debunked Malthus since 1960s that there is no iota of truth that population growth is causing scarcity of food supply. As a matter of fact, it is a reality that we are now in the age of global plenty and there should be no hunger of populations in the world most particularly in Christian nations. But there is hunger, not because of the population growth, but because of the lack or absence of money and worse, the control of money to have access to food supply and production. And of course, obviously, as the signs of the times tell us, the lack and absence of love or charity and justice of humanity today and charity and justice is denied to greater humanity because of the policies of the present economic anti-life system.

And so, therefore Malthus is debunked, there is no such thing as population explosion or bomb. What I know is FOOD SUPPLY EXPLOSION as food production is proven to be more faster than the rate of population in the world as a whole and no valid reason to fear for hunger though money crisis or lack or absence of income is causing us fear for survival. The only solution is justice and charity for life.

Many countries that have been mesmerized and lured into accepting their bosom and adopted the policies with regard to Malthusan theory that made them in the past years successful in their massive artificial population control policies and programmes have finally realized their delusion, their great mistakes and when they face the staggering decreasing population that affect their security and economy and of their human resource. JAPAN, GERMANY, ITALY, SPAIN, UK and to other parts of in Europe are now in the dangerous throes of the critical demographic winter and in fact needing replacement level. Europe is reportedly needing 10 million migrants/immigrant workers within the next 10 years time to supply their labor force and manpower. There is a saying that: ‘A NATION MAY DO WITHOUT MILLIONAIRES AND WITHOUT ITS CAPITALISTS, BUT A NATION CAN NEVER DO WITHOUT ITS LABOURERS.’ And sadly, expectedly indeed, sooner or later, there will be a great shortage of labourers, workers and professionals in the Philippines because of the following reasons that must be addressed earlier before it is too late, if not, more catastrophic to our country:


Obstinate and persistent mistakes and policies of population control programmes in the country that are being pressured to be active through the legalization of abortion. Abortion cases are undeniable rampant both conspicuous and clandestine all over the Philippines but this should be no reason to legalize it as they say illegal abortion cases are rampant, and they argue that in order to stop the illegal abortion which they say is unsafe, we must legalize abortion to make it a safe abortion. Truthfully, there is no such thing as safe abortion, but in fact, all abortion whether legal or illegal in the so-called civilized world are all unsafe and dangerous with long-term and life-time penalties. If we continue to kill our born and unborn children, who will ever replace our ageing population and labourers or professionals who are the bedrock of civilization as a nation? If we persist to be too hard of face and obstinate of heart, this is certainly the demise of the Filipino civilization and likewise to those nations that do the same, will also perish.

Massive overseas employment policy: migration and immigration of Filipinos abroad. Everyday, it is believed to be around 5,000 to 6,000 Filipinos, in search of better life and opportunity for survival, and to escape poverty, unemployment, hunger, economic crisis and financial problems, apply and go out the country that cause the TERRIBLE BRAIN DRAIN SCENARIO and shortage of professionals and labourers at home. There are around 10 million Filipinos working overseas as contract workers, migrants or immigrants and increasing daily without respite, and no one can say if they will go back to their motherland of land of sufferings. Reportedly, they do not want to go back to Philippines because of the abyss of poverty, hunger and miseries.

These fatal mistake above are nighly causing collapse to Philippine. We can reverse the situation, first, by pro-life system policies that will transcend to economic and social life of the Filipinos, and second, by economic and monetary reform, justice and democracy for the service of life and family. Economic security will prevent excessive brain draining overseas employment and migration of Filipinos to the point of abandoning the Philippine. This is very shameful in fact that we are advocating modern slavery of our own people.



MY URGENT PRO-LIFE PROPOSALS TO BOTH LOWER AND HIGHER LEVELS OF THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT:


Financial-economic subsidy to the mothers at home for home-based employment and or financial subsidy to farming families to do farming according to organic methods can be of great economic help while providing long-term to life-time sustainable methods of livelihood and security.


A GOOD MODEL TO FOLLOW:

On the other hand, it is a good news and an inspiring one to pro-life policies and causes that the governments of Russia, Singapore, South Korea and Bulgaria and other countries in the world are taking the right path to life and family and that they are offering and providing financial or economic incentives or subsidies to encourage childbearing in their attempt to prevent their countries’ population decline. They know that there is a great danger if there will be a real and rapid population decline, and one of these is security, not only in terms of economic security but also of military security and defense. Who will replace the ageing soldiers? Soldiers are needed in one country, not actually for the sake of war, but for protection and security of their peoples and righteous defense of the nation from external invaders.


Yet, alas, in the Philippines, predominantly Catholics and Christians, proud to be called in this name, 80% of the population believing in God but sadly, obviously, LESS THAN 10% have God in their hearts, and therefore anti-life and anti-family advocates and so-called population control or management experts or peritus with legislative, economic and monetary access maintain their population control policy-blindly, stubbornly and obstinately clinging to an out-of-touch, outdated, deformed and archaic thinking and philosophy that there is no enough food for the population while they fail to see the control of money, the inequitable distribution food, land and resources in the world that really cause poverty and hunger, and continually blame the population, the born and the unborn babies, children, the large families for the allegations of causing poverty, and so on and so forth.

Anti-lifers, pro-choicers who evr they are, have not seen the fact and thus continue following the infinitely silly and dangerous artificial population control programmes and abortion. Their Western gods have failed to prove the so-called Malthusian myth to reality. Anti-lifers are blind and deaf to the facts of life, not seeing the signs of the times, the alarm bells ringing in countries where the population decline has been set in and now too difficult to reverse when fertility rate is in dangerous slope, the side-effects and heath hazards to men and women who have been victimized by the culture of death. It is believed to be now that leaders of such nations in fertility problems and in population decline are now having a remorse of conscience and repentant at having played such a dangerous game against nature inspired by Malthus’ silly theory.


Another thing is the fact that population control is a modern colonial tactics done by some economic and demographic hitmen in pursuit of US or Western-based foreign policies with fraud, misrepresentations, odious and corrupt financial strings attached.

There is no any single economic theory or system that has ever been tested that could prove that population control is a solution to poverty. Even we kill all the born, unborn children, the sick, the handicapped, the poor at once, we can’t cure poverty under the present financial-economic system, that is based on monopoly, and atrocious political system in the country.


The population control programme in the country since 1960-70 in the Philippines and has been funded by BILLIONS OF PESOS of public money, from taxes, from borrowed money from foreign and international banks and partly funded by foreign and international anti-life funding agencies, HAS CAUSED the decline of population from 3.08% during the period of 1960-1970 to 2.36% during the period of 1995-2000, BUT PLEASE NOTE, DID NOT EVER SOLVE POVERTY PROBLEMS, in fact, poverty got worse, we are worst than Bangladesh and Vietnam. In other words, it is proven that it is not the population growth that causes poverty but the way the financial-economic system operates and the way politics runs the country.

The belief that we, Filipinos, are poor, in terms of finance, because we are too many, is highly preposterous and infinitely silly. Philippines is naturally wealthy in its natural resources and its manpower but please take note: WE BECOME POOR, THIRD WORLD COUNTRY WITH HORRENDOUS DEBTS and acute financial-economic crisis because of the real problem of the wrong and barriers of distribution of wealth, and this is primarily caused by the present anti-life, anti-family and unjust financial-economic system imposed upon by the multinational financial institutions that CONTROL OUR MONEY with population control conditionalities. Philippines is paying around US$10-15 Billion (or P645 Billion interest payments) of interest services to private, commercial, foreign and international banks annually as a matter of top priority, urged by Presidential Decree To Pay Loans, and imposed and monitored by foreign and international banks, enormous amounts from taxes and further borrowings to pay the loans that majority of Filipinos did/do not benefit at all but only the crooked economic hitmen and corrupt politicians.

It is certain that less births means less people for the labor force in the next 20 years. What we need is a genuine pro-life economic and social policies integrated and thus provide economic security for the Filipinos by reforming or correcting the financial-economic system that favours to pro-life philosophy.

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH is indeed very deceptive, tricky, a catch-all jargon, confusing, a euphemism to abortion. Population controllers, anti-life and anti-family advocates keep on denying it but truth speaks for itself as we see the evidences and the effects around. No wonder they are continually engaged in dirty and surreptitious belief and their methods of deceit and dishonesty. Population control method to solve poverty is a kind of delusion, an illusory promise that will never happen, but alas, if not reversed, certainly leading to the demise and collapse of the Filipino civilization.

THE CONTROL OF THE POPULATION AND THE CONTROL OF MONEY, OF OUR UNJUST ECONOMY, ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO PERISH THE FILIPINO PEOPLE.


Thanks for reading. I welcome comments, suggestions, correction and assistance for life and family.
