[Title] => Migration of Pinays may reduce population, says PopCom
[Summary] =>
Migration may achieve what contraceptives have failed to do over the years: stem the country’s ballooning population.
Commission on Population (PopCom) executive director Tomas Osias said there has been a "feminization" of international migration in the Philippines as more women leave the country in search of employment.
He said based on the records of the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), Filipino females have already outnumbered males in going abroad with a ratio of 66:100.

[Title] => Gov won't give lot to Popcom
[Summary] => Governor Gwendolyn Garcia has turned down the request of the Population Commission (Popcom-7) to donate a lot where they can be relocated but has instead offered them the lease of another Capitol-owned lot or building.
Although Popcom was able to show documents to support their claim of a lease contract forged with the provincial government years ago. The papers are, however, incomplete and also showed that their agreement with the
provincial government already lapsed in 2000.

[Title] => PB urges public to practice responsible parenthood
[Summary] => Responsible parenthood should be practiced to help break the vicious cycle of poverty in the country according to a resolution sponsored by a Provincial Board member.
PB member Juan Bolo said it is but imperative for spouses to practice the said principle, as advised by the Population Commission, by not having more children than they can afford to support.
"By becoming responsible parents, couples share in ensuring that our future children will have ample opportunity to be developed and be properly educated," Bolo said.

[Title] => Popcom chief Tomas Osias: ‘More responsible parents, less poverty’
[Summary] => The basic principle of responsible parenthood is common sense: A couple should not have more children than they can afford to fully support. If they cannot even afford to support themselves, then obviously they should postpone having children. They should focus instead on building up their career or business. Once they have attained financial stability, then they can go into the very expensive and difficult task of parenthood," says Tomas Osias, executive director of the Population Commission (Popcom).
