Are Filipinos really so gullible that foreign groups are influencing the way we make our laws? They call it "lobbying." Philippine laws require that lobbyists identify themselves and be licensed before they can do so.
Wikileaks reveal some documents proving that population control has been funded with billions of dollars by the U.S. government for 40 years now. Senator Sotto says they do it through foreign organizations who are hiding behind the cloak of NGO's.
For all we know, this may be one of the major reasons why our government is so corrupt beyond our control. Maybe some people really want us to remain poor. Take note of the following:
Wikileaks: U.S. gov't behind population control in PH for 40 years
Henry Kissinger, who served as Secretary of State, had warned that population growth in less-developed countries could hamper US access to natural resources.
NSSM 200 or the so-called “Kissinger Report” – the declassified document that uncovered Washington’s coercive population control policies – identified the Philippines among several high-population-growth countries that should be subjected to depopulation to protect US commercial interests.

I say from PX goods to RH Bill, we just can't get over our love affair with materialism and anything American.
