Book Description
The Philippines is under assault, not from outside source but from within. Many are aware of the problem but can do little about it. Even if they wanted to do something about it, it is aggravated but those who do not think it is a problem. The assault is coming from our runaway population explosion. There is more than just the vast number of people in the issue of overpopulation. Many pro-lifers in the country do not seems to grasp the issue of overpopulation in relation to factors such as the quality of life, nutritious food, education, pollution, deforestation population density, traffic problem, crimes, unemployment and poverty, health, etc. Most of them are blind to the suffering of the poor who takes the blunt of the problem because they probably never experienced their kind of hardship and quality of life. Increasing population naturally entails the need for more of almost everything just to maintain our lifestyle albeit in many low quality for most of the people surviving now. We need more classrooms and teachers for the children and we cannot seem to lick both problems after all these decades because of the exploding population growth. In a stabilized population, there will no longer be need for new classrooms and funds could be channel to improving the education system and getting more children to finish higher education. . The basic services such as water supply and health services have been inadequate and will continue to plague us in the coming decades. There is not enough clean water to supply even all the inhabitants of the metropolis. Many have to pump up their water need from deep wells that are often contaminated while causing the sinking of the land above in many areas. Public health clinics and hospitals are often crowded with patients and many are dying for lack of medicines. The shelves in the supermarket may be full, but most of the poor do not have the money to buy their basic needs. According to one latest survey, nine millions people are surviving below $1 a day. Even more numbers are surviving below $2 a day. Not only that, they are not getting adequately the basic food necessities, such as protein that would allow them to compete in this world. Protein is essential for children if they want to develop their brains and improve their IQ. Are we going to continue to export our workers like slaves to other countries? Many of our countrymen are working abroad to earn a decent life for their family back home. Most of these jobs are unwanted by the locals. Some of them could be demeaning and often hard works. There is a serious unemployment and underemployment problems in the country, forcing them to look for jobs elsewhere. There is a need to balance the available jobs against the number of young people joining the workforce every year. Too many people out of work could mean more crimes as they tried to feed themselves and their families. The excessive labor force allows employers to mistreat employees on a hire-fire-hire basis. Many workers have been hired on a contractual work even for simple jobs. The female workers are particularly at a disadvantage. Some have been forced to work on a commission basis selling cigarettes and candies whose commissions do not add up to half the basic salary mandated by law while others are not even given any commission unless they reach a certain quota. This wanton practice is possible only because there are too many unemployed workers in a finite labor market. In fact many of them are willing to work for pittance just to fill their stomachs and that of their loved ones.
