Quality Life is a Choice!

I believe Quality Life is Choice! of course not yet for children . . . they are still helpless and are dependent on the parents/adults around them.

Quality of Life will defer from one person to another and different from the rich and to the poor.As one goes up the ladder, his/her "needs", plus the "wants" will also increase. But for the poor, they are already contended with the very basics in life ... food, shelter and clothing but at least education, health/hospitalization, must be met, aside from the physiological needs.)

Quality Life is a CHOICE! and attainable ... if one is determine! knows how to manage their life,if one is RESPONSIBLE and accountable of their decisions and actions!

A young adult, even if she comes from a poor family who could not send her to school, can still be in sch, if she can sacrifice to be a working student,focus on her studies and work after and help her family siblings first and settle down only when READY. More likely this person will have a better quality of life compared to one who did not seek look for better ways to improve their life, worst if she settle down early and be dependent on a poor parent and a jobless + abusive partner who might just leave her.

Even if a couple is just renting small room in a squatters area,if they will only have one or two children educate and guide them and work hard ... eventualy they can be out in that squatters area and will have at least a better quality of life.

To attain a better quality of Life ... is really a Choice! but I think the government should also help the poor in attaining quality of life, by providing them the needed Reproductive Health education, programs and services

Catholics4 Reproductive Health

For people to know Why there there are Catholics who are OPENLY supporting RH, because many Catholics who are supporters are just "SILENT"!

-----------------------------------------

Pledge of Commitment and Support
to The Catholics for Reproductive Health (C4RH-Cebu)

I believe in the sanctity and dignity of human life. I believe that Reproductive Health will save lives and improve the quality of life of the poor and marginalized women, children, adolescent and youth and people under threat of reproductive health infections and diseases;

I believe in compassion and social justice. I believe that reproductive health will enable us to respond to those who are in most need of counseling, care and support especially among the poor, vulnerable, and weakest members of our society and in the process alleviate further poverty and helplessness;

I believe in truth telling, openness and transparency. I believe that accurate information about reproductive health should be given to the public and not be distorted by religious and laity alike;

I believe in being God’s steward on earth and that Reproductive Health will promote pro-quality of life, responsible decision-making and affirmation of the goodness of the human being;

I believe that reproductive health is consistent with our faith as Catholics and that the time has come to speak up in support of the passage of the reproductive health bill;


By signing this pledge of commitment and support, I declare my involvement to speak up and openly support the passage of a national Reproductive Health Bill and similar local ordinances which will promote the common good and advance Catholic values that binds us together in faith and love.


“I am a Catholic and I support the right to Reproductive Health.”
