UP FOR SERIOUS INTELLECTUALS OR BEACH LOAFERS AND SEX BAITERS?

DZUP INTERVIEW 1460 AM with additional comments re PHILIPPINE SITUATION AND THE RH BILL

Q (from EDGIE)Ms. Orozco, do you approve of the high rating for PNoy? He got 70% + thus showing that people like his administration.

A: To say no, does not mean that we disagree or our answer is in the negative. I think that his administration is too young to be judged, only a few months old. let us wait after a year. He has chosen people who seem to be democratic and that counts a lot, although some have shortcomings. But I think that we can be assured of a democratic regime under PNoy.

Q: There seems to b a reverse migration and the administration thinks it's because of PNOY. Do you agree?

A: In a way yes, if you view reverse as people returning to the country. But I think the OFWs are returning because they now see that work abroad is not all bed of roses. If you listen to the OFW programs on radio, they tackle a lot of stories about run-away domestic workers - cases of violence of the female employer, non-payment of salaries,no food, very few hours of sleep. And so, I believe that OFWs are taking a chance in this administration if it can provide them alternative employment or livelihood.

Q: What do you think of the RH bill?

A: Well, you see it's not easy to have a child (if your body is not protected against getting pregnant). IN its infancy you have to wake up in the middle of the night to beastfeed it, change its clothings, etc. When rthe child goes to school, you have to see how he/she interacts with the classmates, the teachers, and how they tackle the lessons.

Q: The Church is against the use of contraceptives. What do you think of this?

A: I support the use of the condom because as far as I am concerned it is just a piece of rubber that prevents contact between the sperm and the egg, so what's wrong with that? Why can't a woman choose the time to get pregnant?

You see by focusing on those devices, the Church makes us shy away from sex which is avery healthy acticvity between two consenting adults with healthy views.Sex is relaxing and it's not the only way that keeps a relationship. So Actually, the Church should just focus on educating the public on what is an ideal relationship between and man and woman, how liberated can it be. What are the best qualities of a man/woman worthwhile relating with? You seen, some men run away once the woman gets pregnant and so she is left as a single parent.

Here at UP, you see a lot of girls wearing what I call sex-bomb costumes, or short shorts. That's highly inappropriate. UP is composed of provincial and city-bred students. The former is not attuned to this kind of lifestyle and they could be easily distracted by thighs galore parading on the campus and inside classrooms. I have seen men inside jeepneys turn around watching those students. So I have devised a slogan: "UP FOR SERIOUS INTELLECTUALS, NOT FOR (BITCHY) BEACH LOAFERS AND SEX BAITERS."

You see those girls are inviting sexual overtures and should they give in, they could become another statistic for pregnant population, given their religious upbringin. The intellectual ranking of UP could thus get affected by all these goings-on. And the Church which has not said a thing about this fashion could be held liable for such unwanted or untimely pregnancies.

The Church is composed of frocked women and men who don't get married, who go home to their convents, and eat three times (with snacks) a day. That does not happen to most urban poor homes where pregnancy is rampant.

Folks, actually I am suffering from asthma now because our neighbor decided to paint their house and the fumes are killing my lungs as they gt wafted to our house. I just had to answer this phone patch call to be able to explain my point of view regarding a most important issue, the RH Bill.
