To aid the reproductive health needs of the citizens

PILLARS OF FOUNDATION

The Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act builds it

foundation on four pillars.
1. Identify these pillars below by unscrambling the letters.
2. Read the provisions beside each pillar.

Pillar 1:
INFORMED CHOICE

As stated in the Act, effective and quality reproductive healthcare

services, which are ethically and medically safe, legal, accessible, and
affordable, shall be given primacy to ensure the health of the mother and
child. Also, the government shall promote and provide unbiased
information and access to these services. This pillar also covers the
provision for the integration of reproductive health and sexuality education
in schools, and other educational settings.

Pillar 2:
RESPECT FOR LIFE

The Act recognizes that abortion is illegal and punishable by law. However,
mothers will be identified to have aborted an unborn child will be served
with post-abortive treatment and counseling in a humane, nonjudgmental,
and compassionate manner.
Pillar 3:
BIRTH CONTROL

Reproductive healthcare, information, and supplies shall

be made available most especially to poor beneficiaries.
However, the Act provisions also that the government
must respect the citizen’s individual preferences and
choices of family planning method.
 RESPONSIBLE PARENTHOOD

information in all aspects of family life, reproductive
Pillar 4:health, and this pillar.

RESPONSIBLE PARENTHOOD

The couples determine their ideal family size. In addition, the government shall
equip each parent with the needed information in all aspects of family life,
reproductive health, and this pillar.

Reproductive health also concerns problems such as sexually-transmitted

. According to Dr. Natividad (2013), in the Young Adult Fertility and Sexuality Study of
infections.
2013 (YAFS-4), a survey of Filipino college and high school graduates, 36.2 percent and 43.5
percent respectively admitted to having engaged in premarital sex. In addition 66.7 percent and
79.6 percent did not use any protection at first premarital sex. These scenarios are most often the
causes of infections.
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome or AIDS is caused by human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV) which usually does not have symptoms in its early stages. “Initially, people with HIV were
diagnosed as having AIDS only when they developed blood infections, the cancer known as
Kaposi’s sarcoma, or any of the 21 other indicator diseases” (Donatelle, 2006). In addition, HIV is
highly infectious through unprotected sexual intercourse, breastfeeding (of an infected mother to
infant), and blood transfusion/injecting drugs (needles used for infected patients). Currently, there
are several treatment options for HIV and AIDS, but no known cure yet.
In this light, the government also puts its efforts to eradicate these sex-related diseases,
most especially AIDS.
The Republic Act No. 8504 or the Philippine AIDS Prevention and Control Act of 1998 was
passed by the Congress on July 28, 1997. The Act promulgates “policies and prescribing measures
for the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS in the Philippines, instituting a nationwide HIV/AIDS
information and educational program, establishing a comprehensive HIV/AIDS monitoring system,
strengthening the Philippine National AIDS Council, and for other purposes” (PNAC).
The Act also provides for education and information dissemination in various institutions and
agencies, safe practice and procedures (testing, screening, and counseling) in health organizations
and associations, monitoring of cases with confidentiality, and programs for anti-discriminatory acts
(in the workplace, hospitals, and other public institutions).
