silly article

this is why i don't read the newspapers.

last friday, we were in the car with the hub... looked over his shoulder (as he was reading the paper) and saw this headline:  

"The RH bill:  Will it make our OFWs extinct?"

what da???

i couldn't help it, so i read on (even if reading in the car makes me dizzy).

the author, bobit avila, wrote:

"...for me, the biggest reason why we should throw the RH bill out of the halls of Congress comes from the editorials of many local and national newspapers, praising overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) for their role in stabilizing the Philippines in the heat of the Wall Street financial debacle..."

"...these politicians want to curtail our population growth so that OFWs will soon be a thing of the past..."

huh?

he goes on to say...

"Surely our politicians are not that stupid that they would now support the RH bill that would cause our population to decline to the point that OFWs would no longer be needed. This means, no more $12 billion coming to our shores. So you politicians out there ought to ponder this very thought!"

what da???

silly, silly, silly.
