The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is ending its program of providing free contraceptives to the Philippines. They had stopped sending condoms in 2004 and will now halt their supply of other birth control products in the coming year. This change is in response to the country's promotion of natural family planning.
San Fernando Archbishop Paciano Aniceto, the Episcopal Commission on Family and Life (ECFL) of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), is overjoyed at this turn of events. However, he has a big fight still ahead with the Philippine House of Representatives who are planning to purchase P1 billion in condoms, pills, and other agents to moderate population.
