OVERPOPULATION
BY; KARSTEN CACACTIN
The population of a city is the total number of inhabitants. It is the

gathering of people in sociology. Many nations are said to struggle with
overpopulation, Philippines, one of the nations affected. According to
studies, the Philippines is one of the Southeast Asian nations with the
quickest population growth. In 1980, there were 50 million people living
there, and as of today, there are more than 90 million. Inadequate
education, unemployment, and poverty are just a few of the issues that
come with a huge population.
The issues brought on by our huge population and offer suggestions

for potential actions or solutions. One of the issues is the low level of
education among our citizens. While the majority of us may place the
responsibility on the government for failing to help its citizens, even
though the underlying issue is the sheer size of the population. In
addition to improving teacher wages, public schools should also be
expanded to give our children a better future. Townspeople scarcely feel
their assistance any more. The unemployment of our citizens is another
impact of our large population. We can't help but wonder who or what is
the root of unemployment.
Poverty is the main impact of population growth in the Philippines.

In a huge family in our country, we can observe that they struggle to
support their family because most of them are not educated, so there is
no sensible employment that results in poverty. POPCOM estimates that
more than 1.5 million babies are born annually, or two to three births
every minute. Research shows that as a family's size increases, the
likelihood that it will experience poverty increases, which has the
government concerned. In terms of family planning, the Philippines has
failed. The population of the nation increased as a result of this failure,
which led to great poverty. The research states that the Philippines'
poverty rate has remained constant at 30% for the past 27 years. Effective
population management is necessary. It's time for the government to
decide whether to utilize artificial or natural family planning methods.
In this way, the population of the Philippines will not grow and there will
be fewer hungry people.
According to Lolito Tacardon, Deputy Executive Director of

PopCom. Women in the lower income group only have two children on
average, while those in the poorer sector have an average of five
children. Although there are government programs for effective family
planning, the Philippines' population rise cannot be stopped. The
Reproductive Health (RH) bill was approved in 2012 with the goals of
regulating family planning and shielding women from the danger of an
early pregnancy. Perhaps there are many opposed to its execution
because it is inevitable that the government and the church will disagree
on this issue in a Christian nation. The RH Bill's provisions were the
subject of a TRO from the Supreme Court, although women are still able
to get alternative family planning services at health centers. However,
despite all this, the population is still growing. The difficulties in the
nation will undoubtedly get worse if the increase is not reined back. The
rise in the number of hungry individuals is the first issue, because there
is a severe food shortage. The second is an uptick in crime, some people
will be forced to steal or hoard if they can't buy food. There will also be a
severe housing shortage and difficulty in creating jobs. Many people
today who are unemployed must travel abroad to find employment.
According to a different study by the Philippine government and the

UN, the country's rapid population growth is the reason it won't be able
to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and prevents it from
experiencing economic growth because population growth is always
accompanied by economic growth. Philippine Legislators Committee on
Population and Development Foundation Inc. claims that the Philippines
has one of Asia's highest rates of population increase. The rise in young
or underage pregnancies has been a source of worry for the National
Statistics Office (NSO) or Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) for years.
Others may appear perplexed, but it's important that people are
informed about this type of issue facing our nation and potential
solutions so that we have a chance to see our nation recover. To prevent
famine and a rise in crime, it is still necessary to maintain a reasonable
number of Filipinos even if the Philippines' objectives for growth are
unsuccessful.
