Pinoys on Condoms and Ignorance

Robin Padilla is a Pinoy actor. A very famous one at that. Apparently, he shot a TV ad and endorsed a condom brand. Finally huh? Someone famous trying to promote safe sex in a country with a hypocritical government which in actuality is being run by the "noble" church.

So what does he get in return? Sure there are those who support his actions. But mostly, they're criticizing him. And the most interesting of all, they filed a case against him for promoting condoms!

"In an interview, Imbong said it was only right that the government should use its powers to safeguard the moral environment of its citizens."

WTF? Sometimes I am really amazed at how ignorant and hypocritical some people can be. OK, enough with pleasantries...That's just plain stupid!!!

Safeguard the moral environment of its citizens? So they're better off with contracting STD's, HIV, teens getting pregnant and being forced to be parents when they should be studying? Morality? Using condoms goes against morality?

It's also funny how they said the ad showed explicit messages. Found the video, watch and decide.



So now, Mr. Padilla responded by saying He wasn't wearing it at that time. Ha ha.

"On a more serious note, however, Padilla pointed out that the country’s problems in health and education is mainly due to its increasing population.

The problems will increase further, he said, the more we grow in number. “Ang daming mga bata, wala naman kinabukasan (There are a lot of children [who] have no future],” he said.

His support for population control, according to Padilla, is the reason why he decided to endorse Trust condoms. "Ako ang nag-apply dun. Kapitbahay ko si Jojo, yung may-ari ng DKT (I applied for [that advertisement]. The owner of DKT, Jojo, is my neighbor).”

There you go! Shouldn't this be the focus and not the crap that the church has been telling the people all along? Come on! Enough with the nonsense and time to get real!
