Avoid Unplanned Pregnancy Video

Below is the video I made and uploaded to You Tube some months back on how to avoid unplanned pregnancy with the help of a chart guide I named DontGetPreggy Guide.
With this video, it was mentioned here of a product called Cycle Beads which is a tool for determining fertility period of a woman based on her menstrual cycle. This Cycle Beads is where I patterned the making of the chart DontGetPreggy Guide.

Pnoy versus Padre Damaso

President Noynoy Aquino has recently announced that he is in favor on the use of birth control methods among couples who want to practice family planning.

He further stated that couples themselves are in the best position to determine what is best for their families and what methods they would apply whether it be artificial or natural method of birth control.

This latest announcement by the President on the subject of responsible parenthood drew the ire anew of the Catholic bishops who are strongly opposed on the idea of promoting both the artificial and natural birth control method on family planning instead of just only one method which is the natural method of birth control.

However, President Aquino appears not bothered by his pronouncement even by a threat of 'excommunicado' by the Catholic prelates and was not inclined to reconsider his stand on the issue.

I remember when I started this blog, I cited that one of the reasons why birth control program has failed in the past is the lack of funds and support coming from the previous administrations to effectively implement this program. But now, that it finally got its full backing from this new and present government and even appropriating funds for the project, a new setback again has cropped up but now with the opposition coming from no less but these Catholic bishops.

This program of family planning has been going on since way back of the Marcos regime but its implementation was not very much successful on the grounds cited above. These bishops should have come out a long time ago when the program is still in its offspring to air their dislike on the plan but why only now?

And where is the so-called "separation of state and church" as being taught in the secondary education. I think the duty of the Church is to merely provide spiritual guidance to its vast Filipino Catholic members on the issue of birth control.

It is now the chance of the government to make its move but why are they now mingling on the affairs of the State. Why not let the government do its part on where the church obviously failed as shown by several incidents of abandoning of babies and leaving unborn child right infront of Catholic churches. Are these bishops just saving their own faces and could not admit the fact that they have miserably failed on their spiritual guidance against pre-marital sex and on birth control?

I hope our President will not be coward by the threats of these bishops of making him 'excommunicado' from the Catholic church.

Marrying in the month of June

It is now the month of June where most couples want to book their marriage vows in this season of time whether it is a church wedding or a plain ceremony officiated by a judge. But what is so special about having your marriage held in the month of June? Why not July or August? I have been asking this in my mind for sometime and it's only recently that I chanced upon this article and somehow given me a clearer picture and understanding of it.

So, here is a more precise explanation - that marrying in the month of June is likely to be lucky is believed to be an ancient superstition.

Some authorities also say that the month of June may have been the natural mating period for human beings in the primitive times.

But it is popularly believed that the month of June was named after Juno, the patroness of happy marriages. A proverb in Ancient Rome says, "Prosperity to the man and happiness to the maid when married in the month of June."

What does honeymoon after the wedding symbolizes?

After the wedding comes the honeymoon, and you may ask how did the word honeymoon come to exist?

It looks like the word honeymoon originated in some parts of European country wherein it is a traditional belief to supply a newly wed couple with enough mead for a month to ensure happiness and fertility of the couple.

Mead is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented honey, thus we get the word honeymoon (moon meaning "month")

It is also on the idea that the first month of marriage is the sweetest, as sweet as honey.

Sex Education in Public High Schools

The Department of Education is planning to push though with its project of teaching sex education in selected 29 public high schools including Metro Manila and in some provinces in the country being eyed as its pilot areas.

This was announced by the Department Head Secretary Mona Valisno months ago and is all set to be implemented this coming school opening on June.

As it is, the said plan is again being opposed by the Catholic Church but Secretary Valisno is determined to do it as she claims that some cases of sex related diseases among the youth have reached a very alarming rate, stemming from lack of knowledge on the subject.
