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.Last edited by Negus; July 10th, 2009 at 06:32 PM.

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...

Population density
With a population of 1,660,714 and a land area of 38.55 km², Manila has the highest population density of any major city in the world with 43,079 people/km².[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 km²), Shanghai (16,364 people/km², with its most dense district of Nanshi's 56,785 density), Buenos Aires (2,179 people/km², with its most dense inner suburb Lanus' 10,444 density), Tokyo (10,087 people/km²), Mexico City (11,700 people/km²), and Istanbul (1,878 people/km², 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/km² in a land area of 1,334 km², behind even Cebu City, which ranks 80th.[6][40]Last edited by uls; July 10th, 2009 at 08:59 PM.

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.

Maybe most of you know this but I just found this out yesterday. Manila has the densest population in the whole world. As a matter of fact, 16 cities of Metro Manila are in the top 50 densest cities in the world!!
List of cities proper by population density - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And what is worst is that since the city is going vertical with lots of condos popping around the metro, this is going to go up up and up. And we have the improper infrastructure to handle this volume, such as road systems, public transpo, sewage etc. .
We should do something about this.

Compared to Japan's aging and shrinking population...
Japan's population falls by record 244,000 in 2013
NATIONAL JAN. 02, 2014 - 06:20AM JST ( 28 )
TOKYO —Japan’s population fell by a record 244,000 in 2013, according to health ministry estimates released on Wednesday, highlighting concerns over an ever-dwindling workforce supporting a growing number of pensioners.
An estimated 1,031,000 babies were born in 2013, down about 6,000 from a year earlier, the ministry said.
On the other hand, around 1,275,000 people died—up about 19,000 from the previous year, the highest annual rise since World War II.
As a result, the natural population decline came to a record 244,000, the ministry said, beating the previous highest fall of 219,000 in 2012.
Japan’s population totalled 126,393,679 as of March 31, down 0.21 percent from a year earlier, according to a government figure.
It has continually declined since 2007 by natural attrition—deaths minus births.
Japan is rapidly graying, with more than 20 percent of the population aged 65 or over—one of the highest proportions of elderly people in the world. The country has very little immigration and any suggestion of opening its borders to young workers who could help plug the population gap provokes strong reactions among the public.
The proportion of people aged 65 or over will reach nearly 40% of the population in 2060, according to a 2012 government report.
