UETHENICS 2

REFLECTION 2

KRISTINE G. ATIENZA

BSPA-1A

March 26, 2021

1. Christian ideas about contraception come from church teachings rather than scripture.
Different Christian churches hold different views about the rightness and wrongness of
using birth control. Liberal Protestant churches often teach that it is acceptable to use birth
control, as long as it is not used to encourage or permit promiscuous behavior. More
conservative churches suggest that contraception should be limited to married couples who
are using it to regulate the size and spacing of their family. Roman Catholic Church only
allows 'natural' birth control - only having sex during the infertile period of a woman's
monthly cycle.
2. DOH or also known as department of health is the government agency that responsible for
Family planning. However, the DOH, in partnership with local government units (LGUs),
non-government organizations (NGOs), private sector, and communities, that ensures the
availability of FP information and services to men and women who need them.

1. NATIONAL FAMILY PROGRAM

PROGRAM COMPONENTS
Under the devolved setup, LGUs are primarily responsible for implementing the program
components. The DOH continues to provide policy directions and technical guidelines, set standards,
conduct monitoring and evaluation, and perform regulatory functions.

2. A Word from Our Advocacy Partner Likaan Center for Women's Health
On World Contraception Day, FP2020 launched a new, ongoing campaign as we transition to the
next phase of the FP2020 partnership: #myFPstory. In this video series, FP2020’s advocacy partners
answer the question: How has access to family planning changed your life, and how are you working
to strengthen that access for others?
 
3. The Philippine Family Planning Program (PFPP)
The Evolution of the Philippine FP Program • The FP Program has been implemented for about 38
years which started from a demographic perspective to a health intervention oriented program. • In
1970's to mid-80, PFPP started as a family planning service delivery component to achieve fertility
reduction to a contraceptive-oriented approach. During 1986 to 1992, the program was reoriented
from mere fertility reduction to a health intervention by improving the health of women and children.
