    The document discusses the Three Child Policy proposed by President Rodrigo Duterte to address overpopulation in the Philippines. The population has grown significantly from 26.3 million in 1960 to 103.9 million in 2016, straining resources and contributing to problems like poverty and unemployment. The policy aims to limit families to three children in order to control population growth and its negative effects. Supporters argue that three children is enough for a happy family, and that overpopulation burdens the economy and prevents adequate access to food, education, and other necessities for children. While some disagree on grounds of personal freedom or religious beliefs, the policy's goal is to educate people on population control and its advantages for the country.

    THREE CHILD POLICY

    Nowadays, we have observed that the


    population especially in the Philippines keeps
    on increasing since 2000. The total population
    in Philippines was estimated at 103.9 million
    people in 2016, according to the latest census
    figures. Looking back, in the year of 1960,
    Philippines had a population of 26.3 million
    people. In connection with these, there are a
    lot of problems root about by the increasing
    population. Such problems include shortage of
    foods, poverty, unemployment, etc. that may
    lead them to commit crimes for them to
    survive.
    Because of these, theres a suggested policy
    of President Rodrigo Duterte that aims to
    minimize or reduce the number of child in the
    family, this is the Three Child Policy.
    I can say that I am in favour of this policy.
    There should have a Three Child Policy in the
    Philippines because for me having only three
    children within the family is already enough to
    have a whole and happy family. I believe that
    it should start in the family since it is where it
    all started. As we all know, Philippines is
    considered as one of the countries having an
    overpopulation. Sad to say, thats the reason
    why Philippines is also considered as one of
    the poorest country in the whole world
    because it also affects our economy.
    Others may disagree to this policy because it
    opposes the right of the people and to the
    beliefs of the church or it contradicts to the
    democracy of the Philippines, but somehow, it
    is better if we try to weigh things out that we
    have to look for the advantages and
    disadvantages of this policy for it is our
    country that is exposed to risk. Each families
    must know how to take control, because if
    they have a big family then theres a
    possibilities that they cant let their children
    consume three meals a day, cant afford to
    give the needs of their children in school or
    even cant buy toys for them. The parents
    should have prior knowledge about birth
    control. In connection with these, to
    implement this policy, the government must
    coordinate to the Department of Health in
    order to teach the parents or soon to be
    parents to control the number of child they
    must have.
    I also believe that education takes the
    greatest part of it because in reality most of
    the people especially those living in the
    hinterland are still ignorant of the effects of
    over population. In fact, I have met a father
    that has 18 children. When I got to interview
    him, he said that he cant even remembered
    the names of his children. The sad part is that
    all his children did not finish their studies. This
    is also one of the effects of overpopulation.
    The advantages of the Three Child Policy is
    theres a (1) control of the population, this will
    help mitigate the problem of over population.
    (2) Job opportunities: with the strict rule of
    this policy then children who grew up during
    this period were able to find jobs easily.3)
    Better life: it gives an opportunity to the child
    of having a comfortable life. By considering
    these advantages will gives us an idea that it
    is US we people, can be able to solve this if
    only we have the knowledge wherein we
    understand the aim of this Three Child Policy,
    and cooperation among ourselves.
