national debate. While there is general agreement about its provisions on maternal
and child health, there is great debate on its key proposal that the Filipino taxpayer
and the private sector will fund and undertake widespread distribution of family
planning devices such as birth control pills (BCPs) and IUDs, as the

care centers. The bill is highly controversial, with experts, academics, religious
institutions, and major political figures both supporting and opposing it, often
