Annoyed.

Right now, the country is completely fractured over the RH Bill. On one side, you’ve got conservative Alabang mothers and priests waging a holy war over moral values and the dignity of life. On the other side, progressive leftists are panicking about imminent population collapse.

Personally? I believe in the devil. Specifically, that the devil is in the details.

Because if you look closely, our society has become completely hypersexualized. I just drove past a massive billboard of Gwen Garci pushing personal lubricants—and these aren't the ones for a Toyota Vios. We have an entire nation complaining about overpopulation, yet our advertising industry promotes sex like it’s a competitive sport. Look at the local convenience stores: Honeymoon Tea, Robust Energy Capsules. We are practically screaming at people to get it on.

We also need to stop sending mixed signals. You can't hand people a manual on abstinence while plastering aphrodisiacs on every storefront.
