Summary
| Description | This film begins by showing Filipino women in labor in an over-crowded delivery room where newborns share tiny plastic cots, two per bed, immediately after birth. Over evocative footage of the Philippines in the early 1970s, the film describes the rapid rise in population in the Philippines and its impact, driving migration to the cities, unemployment, health problems and overall poverty. Ruben Apelo, President of the Family Planning Association of the Philippines speaks about the difficulties in implementing a working contraceptive policy given the strong Catholic faith in the country. The film ends with a speech by Ferdinand E. Marcos, President of the Republic of the Philippines, who advocates population control and the work of the Family Planning Association. Cast: Dr. Conrado Lorenzo; Dr. Mercedes Concepcion; Dr. Ruben Apelo; His Excellency, Ferdinand Marcos. |
