Processing Questions:

1. What is the sender’s problem?
2. Have you experienced the same situation? What did you do?

What is It

1. Consumer Act of the Philippines (RA 7394)

It is a national policy which aims to protect the interest of the consumers and buyers of products and services, promote consumers’ general welfare, and to set and maintain standards of conduct for both the business and industrial sectors.

[illustration: umbrella labeled “CONSUMER PROTECTION” held over a group of smiling people, with a woman in a white coat holding a clipboard] Illustrated by: Jerson Rod A. Acosta

The Consumer Act covers the quality and safety of different products like food, drugs, cosmetics, and devices. The policy also promotes the protection of citizens against hazardous substances that may be on sale. Hence, proper labeling and fair packaging shall be required for all the products being sold.

2. Traditional and Alternative Medicine Act of 1997 (RA 8423)

It is an act creating the Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care (PITAHC) to accelerate the development of traditional and alternative health care in the Philippines, providing for a traditional and alternative health care development fund and for other purposes.

It shall also be the policy of the State to seek a legally workable basis by which indigenous societies would own their knowledge of traditional medicine. When such knowledge is used by outsiders, the indigenous societies can require the permitted users to acknowledge its source and can demand a share of any financial return that may come from its authorized commercial use.

The policy also identifies medicinal plants in the country which are readily available. These medicinal plants shall be taken care of by different agencies.

3. Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 (RA 10354)

The Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012, also known as the Reproductive Health Law or RH Law, is a law in the Philippines that guarantees universal access to methods such as contraception, fertility control, sexual education, and maternal care.

What is Reproductive Health (RH)?

It refers to the state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease relating to the reproductive system and to its functions and processes. This implies that people can have a responsible, safe, consensual, and satisfying sex life, that they have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when, and how often to do so. This further implies that women and men attain equal relationships in matters related to sexual relations and reproduction.

Pillars of Reproductive Health

The Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act builds its foundation on four pillars.

[illustration: four-columned building with a triangular pediment over a sunburst background] Illustrated by: Mark Raymon C. Alcantara

Pillar 1: INFORMED CHOICE

To ensure the health of the mother and the child, an effective and quality reproductive healthcare services, which are ethically and medically safe, legal, accessible, and affordable, shall be given primacy to them. The government shall also 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 who 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 also provides that the government must respect the citizen’s individual preferences and choices of family planning method.

Pillar 4: RESPONSIBLE PARENTHOOD

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

What is Family Planning?

[illustration: family of four smiling together, a father and mother with a son and a daughter] Illustrated by: Jerson Rod A. Acosta

Family planning is a means to improve the quality of life of every Filipino.

It is a program which enables couples and individuals to decide freely and responsibly the number and spacing of their children. Couples decide when to have the next baby and use responsible means to achieve their desired number of children. The program also provides access to a full range of safe, affordable, non-abortifacient modern and natural methods of pregnancy planning.

Family planning is a personal matter. The husband and wife must decide on the family planning method best suited to their health, religion, and resources.

What is Responsible Parenthood?

Parents do the following:

• respond to the needs and aspirations of the family and children.
• determine and plan the desired number, spacing, and timing of their children based on their health status, sociocultural and economic concerns, and religious convictions.
• plan and work to meet the goals of their family.

Parenthood is about raising children and supporting their needs financially, morally, teaching them good values, and giving them love and care. It is one of the most important duties in our society.

Parenthood is a great responsibility or task. It is not a role which can be successfully played based on chance. It is a status which a responsible couple can arrive at after deciding to have a family.

Couples should be aware that parenthood entails great responsibilities. They should consider the three Rs before becoming parents: the Reason for wanting a child, the Resources needed to raise a child, and the Responsibilities as parents.

What are the responsibilities of parents?

• Provide physical care
• Inculcate discipline
• Develop social competence
• Encourage learning
• Give opportunities for education and self-development
• Inculcate values
• Provide economic security
• Teach self-discipline and self-control with effective discipline
• Give love and affection
• Teach with a positive attitude

4. Philippine AIDS Prevention and Control Act of 1998 (RA 8504)

RA 8504 is an act promulgating policies and prescribing measures for the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS in the Philippines, instituting a nationwide HIV/AIDS Information and Education Program, establishing a comprehensive HIV/AIDS monitoring system, strengthening the Philippine National Aids Council, and for other purposes.

What is Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)?

[illustration: ribbon and two figures beside the words “STOP HIV / AIDS”] Illustrated by: Jerson Rod A. Acosta

It is a viral infection that attacks and slowly destroys the immune system of the infected person that leads to “immune deficiency”. It is progressive and can lead to lack of body defense to all kinds of infection including those that do not normally infect man and can also lead to cancer susceptibility.

What is Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)?

It is a condition characterized by a combination of signs and symptoms, caused by HIV contracted from another person. AIDS attacks and weakens the body’s immune system, making the person who contracted the disease susceptible to other life-threatening infections.

What are the other provisions of RA 8504?

The Department of Education (DepEd) and other government agencies should work together so that information on AIDS is included in the classroom. The causes, modes of transmission, and ways of preventing HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases should be taught in schools at intermediate grades, secondary and tertiary levels, including non-formal and indigenous learning systems.

All the teachers and instructors of HIV/AIDS lessons should undergo a seminar or training on HIV/AIDS prevention and control to be supervised by people from the DepEd. Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA), in coordination with the Department of Health (DOH) before they are allowed to teach the subject.

How do you get or transmit HIV?

[illustration: a boy pointing toward speech boxes] Illustrated by: Christian Rey Ricarze

[illustration: a woman gesturing beside a speech box]

The first HIV case in the Philippines was reported in 1984. Around 2007, the DOH noted a rise in epidemic as new infections started showing a steady spike and shifted from sex workers to men who have sex with men (MSM) and people who inject drugs. https://m.dw.com (Why HIV infections are rising in the Philippines)
