some of the posts got me thinking of evil thoughts, human fallacy.
eugenics - even some famous figures in history including a nobel winner support the idea. tsk tsk.
wiki entry:
From its inception eugenics was supported by prominent people, including Margaret Sanger, Marie Stopes, H. G. Wells, Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt, Emile Zola, George Bernard Shaw, John Maynard Keynes, John Harvey Kellogg, Winston Churchill, Linus Pauling[11] and Sidney Webb.[12][13][14] Its most infamous proponent and practitioner was however Adolf Hitler who praised and incorporated eugenic ideas in Mein Kampf, and emulated Eugenic legislation for the sterilization of "defectives" that had been pioneered in the United States.

one of my favorite movies is Gattaca
actually, we have all the resources. ang problema, we cannot utilize it very very well. the resources we have is enough para sa atin.
also, we need self control. mga pinoy din kasi, ang hihilig sa scandal... hahaha! kidding aside, kelangan talaga natin ng control sa sarili. pag hindi pwede, wag ipilit. pag nangangati, kaskas mo sa pader o magsarili ka, peace...![]()
As of 01 July 2007, the philippines is the
(1) No. 12 in the world with the biggest population;
(2) No. 45 in population density and
(3) Manila is the densest city in the world with 41,014 person per sq. km.
BTW, we are at No. 72 largest country in terms of area...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manila#Population_density
Population density
With a population of 1,660,714 and a land area of 38.55 kmē, Manila has the highest population density of any major city in the world with 43,079 people/kmē.[39] District 6 is listed as being the most dense with 68,266, followed by the first two districts (Tondo) with 64,936 and 64,710, respectively, and district 5 being the least dense with 19,235).[6]
Manila's population density dwarfs that of Paris (20,164 inhabitants per kmē), Shanghai (16,364 people/kmē, with its most dense district of Nanshi's 56,785 density), Buenos Aires (2,179 people/kmē, with its most dense inner suburb Lanus' 10,444 density), Tokyo (10,087 people/kmē), Mexico City (11,700 people/kmē), and Istanbul (1,878 people/kmē, with its most dense district Fatih's 48,173 density).[6]
But when accounting for the entire urban area, Metro Manila drops to 85th place with 12,550 people/kmē in a land area of 1,334 kmē, behind even Cebu City, which ranks 80th.[6][40]

i hope you don't mind,. but i beg to disagree. over population is not from a one-line equation. it has been caused by a lot of factors. corruption can be a factor, but not the ONLY factor.
i also think that Philippines is not over populated. it is only in the metro.
even though they implement a two-child policy, i think the growth rate would still be positive.
there can't be ONLY ONE factor that causes the over population. it's a combination of everything. the government should not focus on determining a factor, but rather do something on all factors that they believe are contributors to over population.
Maybe, it's culture. How the pinoys were brainwashed by the those who conquered our country. It's just one of the points raised by Rizal in "The Philippines, A Century Hence".
OT: If corruption is a major contributor to poverty, then why is South Korea so progressive? Baka dun, ni rereinvest ang na-corrupt sa negosyo habang dito yung na-corrupt pinambibili ng Gucci.
