Until now there are many Filipino families that having a big family is really great. They believed that if you have many children, you’re also investing. Because when they grow up, they could help their family. And the children could also help them when the parents are going older. They also defend their belief that this is the commandment of God when he said that go and be multiplied. That’s why they hate the population control of the Department of Health.
As of now the DOH has a TV campaign; it gives awareness to the Filipino family. In their commercial, their is a girl kid singing about the situation of her family. Every year her mother is becomes pregnant until their family member expanded. Because of this, the child stopped from her studies. Her parents could not support her needs anymore. Hence, she became a street vendor. In her song, she is asking her parents if they really love their children? If yes, why they chose to have more children although they don’t have a financial capacity.
The message of this commercial is very clear. The parents should be responsible, plan their lives very well. Having many children could lead them into a greater poverty. This is very logical, if you have many children, your expenses would also become bigger. What if you don’t have enough money to sustain tall of their needs?How can yopu feed them and send them to the school? So, just limit the number of your family.
It is very noticeable in our country that the poor family has many family member compare to the rich family. Even the richest family have all the resources in the world, they are limiting the number of their family. Because they know that is the right thing to do. Why the poor family, their happiness is to make children. They truly believe that is okay to live with a miserable life. The most important is they are happy with each other. As what they said, the more the merrier? But how can be you totally happy if you’re living below the poverty line?
Kudos to the DOH for their eye-opener commercial although there are groups didn't happy with this.
