Yaz vs Gianvi

The human population is increasing and rising mostly in countries with no reproductive health bills. In the Philippines, it’s still a debate whether the Congress will approve the RH bill or not. With the growing numbers in the population, resources also become scattered, and poverty will always be present.

In a world with so many options, women and men can always have their options. It can be family planning for families to gauge on how many children to raise. It can be through the use of alternative birth control methods to control the desired number of children. And lastly, it can also be through natural birth control methods for couples who are strictly upholding their Catholic values.
