HEALTH SEC. MANUEL DAYRIT: Letter to Editor, PDI, 17 September 2004: “Statistics will show that the prevalence of contraceptive use has long since leveled off, and there is really no massive clamor among the Filipino people to have more and more free contraceptives. The observation that hormonal preparations were used for gardening and that stocks of unwanted contraceptives just took up space in storerooms – are not just urban legends, but facts. Thus, financial resources allotted by foreign donors to assist Philippine government programs could actually be better spent in other pursuits than purchasing contraceptives…..”

HEALTH SEC. MANUEL DAYRIT: 

HEALTH SEC. MANUEL DAYRIT “….It is also of value to demystify our perceptions about the role of contraceptives in women’s health, women’s rights, and healthy families. To equate access to contraceptives with the reduction in maternal morbidity and mortality is simplistic. Equally flawed is a much publicized argument that women are accorded the rights they deserve when they are made to use contraceptives. Majority of the women who use these products are not wholly aware of the many affects they have on their health and lives…..”
