SERIOUS HEALTH CRISIS AND DEATH IN THE PHILIPPINES

SERIOUS HEALTH CRISIS AND DEATH IN PHILIPPINES UNDER THE PRESENT ANTI-LIFE FINANCIAL-ECONOMIC SYSTEM


By Eric V. Encina


With and under the anti-life/family and debt-based financial-economic system and chaotic-nasty-muddy politics in the Philippines, the prevailing dreadful poverty, per se, the acute problems of money of most poor Filipino families, the hunger of many families, and the domino effects of injustice, and anti-life measures and ideologies, 5 out of 10% Filipinos DIE daily without receiving any kind of medical attention, mostly in the impoverished villages, the squatter areas, at the rural and urban poor areas where poor families are struggling to survive. 10 Filipino mothers die daily because of poor-health-malnutrition-poverty-related pregnancy and child-birth cases. But what is worse is that there are a hundred of poor Filipino mothers and women dying all over the country because of the side-effects of oral, injectable contraceptives and abortifacients, however, being covered up by those in medical authorities.

The Philippine Government under Madame Gloria Macapagal Arroyo Administration only spends a mere P0.33 ($0.006) at an exchange rate of $1 = P49) per day for the health of every Filipino citizen. The Philippine Department of Health is pitifully under financed, under staffed, and stricken or overburdened by corruptions of the extremely limited resources, dominated by anti-life/family philosophies, policies and ideologies controled by the WHO and UNPFA and other foreign/overseas and international pro-death agencies and individuals. Reportedly, medical supplies, medicines, etc. are taken or kept by those in positions only for their own interest and benefits. The only medical and health products given for free, at times for sale, to the poor families are condoms, contraceptives, oral and injectable contraceptives or abortifacients or vaccines to children with certain and undeniable ill-health side-effects to women and children. Sadly and absolutely no any health-giving products like vitamins or minerals or any foods for the poor and malnourished families, mothers, children. The resources of the Dept. of Health are allocated for population control programmes as mandated by the higher anti-life/family echelons.

The same thing with Philippine Department of Social Welfare and Development—supposed to be the country’s department for the poor Filipinos and indigenous families, but it has been an inutile to help as it has no any actual aid to the poor and the needy in the countryside except in seminars of livelihoods that do not actually help the poor better their lives. The Philippine Department of Social Welfare and Development has one of the smallest budgets being allocated annually because of the TOP PRIORITY OF INTEREST PAYMENTS to domestic and foreign debts.

The health programmes are not working in favour of the poor, though being implemented in the country, but are not meant to make health services accessible to ordinary poor and needy Filipinos but only to earn revenues from medical tourism adroitly driven by multinational drug companies supporting the culture of death and the massive population control programmes in the countryside. ALAS, EVEN MEDICINES ARE CHARGED WITH 12% EXPANDED VALUE ADDED TAX EVERYTIME THE ORDINARY FILIPINOS BUY FOR THEIR MEDICAL NEEDS. What a hell! It is the most dangerous to get sick in the Philippines: no free hospitalization, no free medical check-ups, no free medicines, no free surgery, no free foods, no free health products BUT FILIPINOS ARE NOT FREE FROM INCREASING TAXES for the payments of GARGANTUAN INTERESTS AND DEBTS TO PRIVATE, COMERCIAL, BILATERAL AND MULTILATERAL CREDITORS—squeezing us to blood and bone. FREE CONDOMS, CONTRACEPTIVES, PILLS, ABORTIFACIENTS CANNOT HELP THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.


Philippine is threatened to hopelessness in the dungeon of debt and poverty unde the present anti-life/family financial-economic and political policies and ideologies. FILIPINOS ARE LEAVING OF THEIR OWN COUNTRY AND NO PLAN TO COME BACK.

MEASLY AND MISAPPROPRIATED BUDGET:


The World Health Organization (WHO) has the standard policy of prescribing that 5% of the Gross National Product (GNP) of a country SHOULD BE ALLOCATED to health. But the Philippine government because of increasing HUGE INDEBTEDNESS TO COMMERCIAL, PRIVATE, FOREIGN AND INTERNATIONAL BANKS --- that prioritize the interest payments according to PRESIDENTIAL DECREE before or more than any thing else, the results of thievery in the government, THE PRIORITY OF DISTRIBUTING CONTRACEPTIVES, PILLS, CONDOMS AND ABORTIFACIENTS, the government only allocates way below 5%.

In 2004, only 0.33% of GNP or $212 Million was allocated to health BUT DID NOT, ALAS, BENEFIT THE POOR for real and medical needs, BUT ACTUALLY SPENT FOR CONDOMS, PILLS, CONTRACEPTIVES AND ABORTIFACIENTS and advocacy for the legalisation of ABORTION, DIVORCE, SAME SEX MARRIAGE AND EVEN EUTHNASIA, and of course, while around more or less US$4-5 BILLION was allocated for interest payments to total domestic and foreign debts to anti-life/family IMF AND WB, the same on the respective following years of 2005, 2006, and in 2007 with the uses of resources and thus prioritized payments of interest of around US$6.3 Billion, with the new loans from the WB and from other bilateral creditors with population control conditions and anti-life policies, ONLY $0.006 per Filipino per day for health while there is no evidence that per Filipino is given health aid of that $0.006 in the real sense.

75 Filipinos die of Tubercolosis alone while 100,000 contract the disease yearly. There are hundreds to thousands of deaths every day caused by other diseases which could be or could have been prevented if only there is medical or health provision or if there is money. Such are clearly proven that poverty, malnutrition, exhaustion, overfatigue, wrong health patterns because of medical and health ignorance cause deaths to poor Filipinos, and the prevailing massive population control programmes cause deaths to unborn children and poor mothers.

With this kind of Philippine Government hugely in debts, in the dungeon of debts, prioritizing the interest payments, wasting and spending money for anti-life/family advocacies, etc. more than health and welfare of the poor Filipino people, THE FILIPINO PEOPLE’S HEALTH IS IN SERIOUS CRISIS, IS TERRIBLY NEGLECTED AND THUS CONSEQUENTLY CAUSE DEATHS TO INNOCENTS.

How can we build a healthy economy without healthy inhabitants or citizens?

HOW CAN REBUILD THE NATION IF WE ARE KILLING THE INNOCENT UNBORN CHILDREN? Who will replace the ageing population?

LAST RECOURSE SOLUTION:

The only last recourse solution for the FILIPINO PEOPLE—seemed to be the endless victims of debt and poverty to rescind detrimental policies, in order to ensure health of the Filipino people based on pro-life ethics, that is accessible to all, hence, to establish a more socially-economically-financially-secured, equitable society where there is genuine economic freedom and democracy in truth and morality with life essence, IS TO CREATE OUR OWN PHILIPPINE MONEY PESO DEBT AND INTEREST FREE (to print more money—to increase the circulation of Philippine Peso currency) by the facilities of the Bangko Sentral Ng Pilipinas or Central Bank of the Philippines by legislation by the Philippine Congress and the Senate, supported by the judicial powers of the Supreme Court, and to be fully and prudently implemented by the Government and wholly backed up by the Filipino people. And thus, PROVIDE the PRO-LIFE/FAMILY financial-economic security from the cradle to the grave in the form of FINANCIAL DIVIDENT, PURCHASING POWER DIVIDEND, BASIC INCOME OR CITIZEN’S INCOME, OR SUPPLEMENTARY OR EXTRA BASIC INCOME to every Filipino citizen, to every family and child. Therefore, the provision of basic income could give the Filipinos purchasing power for basic needs to prevent hunger, malnutrition, diseases and thus escape the frequent threats of poverty trap AND THE POOR MOTHERS AND WOMEN WILL NOT DO ABORTION-the killing of the innocents pressured by poverty and the shortage and absence of money. THE MONEY CURRENTLY BEING USED FOR ANTI-LIFE ACTIVITIES MUST STOP AND RATHER BE USED FOR LIFE AND FOR SAVING THE POOR FAMILIES.

The payments of interest to domestic and foreign debts and the BUDGET AND THE ALLOCATION FOR POPULATION CONTROL PROGRAMMES must STOP now! Payments of 12% E-VAT imposed by US foreign economic policies that hurt poor families and impoverish the poor, cause difficulties to innocent children must be reversed or must be scrapped without delay. We have paid more than too much! MONEY MUST BE USED FOR THE CHILDREN.

PHILIPPINES is now inescapably and terribly and apocalyptically plagued down by increasing government debts, family, individual debts, massive unemployment, brain drains for other countries, dreadful poverty, hunger, diseases, environmental crisis and destruction, calamities, violence, family breakdown, crimes, rebellion, insurrection, aggravated by chaotic and nasty-muddy politics. Even spiritual and moral life SUCH AS ABORTION, IMMORAL UNIONS, loss of faith and and morality, thus faith is down when Filipino women are now being pressured to trade flesh and prostitutions and into abortion circumstances, ALL THESE UNDER THE PARASITIC AND PESTIFEROUS ANTI-LIFE/FAMILY FINANCIAL-ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL SYSTEM AND POLICIES.

The control and restriction of financial credit, the indebtedness of the government and the refusal of the government to do the debt-free-money creation, the lack and or absence of money, the absence of financial-economic security and economic democracy to poor Filipino families, and the impositions AND ANTI-LIFE/FAMILY CONDITIONS of IMF and WB tied with US foreign economic policies in relations to debts, the political insanity of different political parties in bickering and corruptions MOSTLY SUPPORTING THE LEGALISATIONS OF ABORTION, SAME-SEX MARRIAGE, DIVORCE AND EUTHANASIA-therefore —the principal causes of savage cruelty of poverty and death of the INNOCENTS, of the Filipino people in the Philippine countryside.
