A Philippine News Agency report, citing the Philippine Commission on Population and Development , noted that only 1,516,042 births were registered in 2020.In an interview on ANC’s “Rundown,” PopCom Executive Director USec. Juan Antonio Perez III said fewer marriages and women delaying pregnancies may have contributed to the drop in the number of births.
“The second indication that we have seen was the decline in marriages. Throughout the year that PSA noted, the drop was around 40 percent in marriages, meaning Filipinos were not forming families formally through registration but we believe also in the, 'yung nagli-live in, as you might say.” “The [local government units], the health services, population and health workers were able to deliver family planning services to those who needed it. There was an increase in family planning use, modern family planning use of about 6 percent during last year.”“We think this trend will continue beyond the pandemic because economically we’ll not be recovering for several years.”
Good thing
No complains here. For me, this world is so effed I don’t want my kids to experience it.
