Introduction

Population explosion is considered as one of the undisputable alarming obstacles that

stand on the path of the less developed countries. These countries produce great numbers in
terms of human resources because the birth rate is much higher than in the rich countries, but the
rate of employment and production in the poor countries is very low.

The Philippines belong to the group of these "less developed countries." And as we all
know, the growth of population in our country is unstoppable. In fact, the Philippine population
is one of the fastest growing countries in the world. The current population of the
Philippines is 104,020,812 as of Saturday, August 26, 2017, based on the latest United Nations
estimates. It is estimated that 3,000 Filipino babies are born every day, 100,000 every month, or
one million a year to round up the figures. There are more babies being born today than there
were in the 1970s. There will be more babies born 20 years from now than the number of babies
that are born this day. In this lies the problem: at first, the babies need milk, diapers and
vitamins. But the trouble is, babies grow up. And when they do, they need education, which
requires more school structures; they need food, clothing, houses, jobs, etc. These are basic
needs that must be filled. Providing them creates a large number of problems that demand the
fullest utilization of the nation's resources.  That is why the government found a way to lessen
the rapid increasing of population in the Philippines, and that is family planning. Family
planning is “the control of the number of children in a family and of the intervals between them,
especially by the use of contraceptives” (Collins Dictionary). So far the Philippines have at least
five important family planning methods. Pills, IUD’s, Injectable, Condoms, and Traditional
method.

This study focused on what could be the effect of using family planning method in some
of the couples. Also the researcher want to know what is the most used family planning method
in Barangay 175, Camarin Caloocan City.

Family Planning program plays a vital role in reducing the fertility among couples in
the age group through adoption of various methods of birth control. Reviewing the socio
economic and demographic data available from various sources. Family planning is the planning
of every individual and couples in their life to decide and attain their desired number to have
children and the spacing and timing of their births. The utilization of birth control and different
procedures to implement different strategies regularly include are to incorporate sexuality
education, prevention and management and administration of sexually transmitted infections pre-
conception counseling and infertility management. Journal of Womens Health facilitates the
readers to go through a wide range of articles on women's Health. Journal of Women's Health
care is published by OMICS Group International, an open access publisher and scientific event
organizer, which publishes 300 scholarly, open access online journals with the support of about
30000 editorial board members. Perusing through the articles, Gynecologists and all other health
awareness experts working in the field of Women's Health can get to persistent redesigns that
may help them to enhance the nature of consideration and the conclusion for patients. By
allowing women the freedom to control the number and spacing of their births, family planning
helps women preserve their health and fertility and also contributes to improving the overall
quality of their lives. Family planning also contributes to improving children’s health and
ensuring that they have access to adequate food, clothing, housing, and educational
opportunities. Family planning achieves these improvements in health and quality of life very
cost-effectively compared with investments in most other health and social interventions.
Committing human and financial resources to improving family planning services will not only
improve the health and wellbeing of women and children, but it will also support efforts to
achieve a sustainable global population. (OMICS, 2004) and also family planning is regulating
the number and spacing of children in the family. Artificial and natural methods of planning are
used by couples in the Philippines. The study sought to find out

2

the status, problems, awareness and extent of family planning practices in the rural areas of
Camiguin Province. There were 300 respondents randomly sampled in each municipality using
the interview questionnaire method. Percentage and frequency distribution were used in
determining the profile of the respondents while a Liker Scale and Analysis of Variance
(ANOVA) were used to determine the awareness and extent of practices and their significant
difference respectively. The result showed that the pills, IUD and rhythm or calendar method
were practiced in planning the spacing and number of children in the family to a little extent.
Majority of the respondents, lack knowledge and information on the side effects of artificial
methods and the advantages of the natural methods. It is recommended that massive
information campaign on family planning methods should be disseminated to couples, as well
as to the health workers in the barangays in a multi-media and multi-sectorial approach.
(EJOURNALS. com 2011)

According to Ronald Molmissa on his book entitled ‘Lovestruck Love mo siya Sure ka ba?’:

“Sex has a three-fold purpose Una ay ang pagpaparami ng tao sa daigdig

o procreation.³⁰ Kung wala nito, hindi kailanman lalago ang populasyon ng
mundo. Hindi tayo mga bulaklak na kahit sa hangin ay puwedeng mag-pollinate at
dumami. Pan- galawa, it unites two persons. Sex is more than physical. It has
emotional and spiritual significance. When you have sex with a person, you identify
yourself with him/her
and you become one.³¹ Pangatlo, it was created for the pleasure of married couples

Family planning allows people to attain their desired number of children and determine
the spacing of pregnancies. It is achieved through use of contraceptive methods and the treatment
of infertility. That is why there are so many benefits that the family gained when they used
family planning

Benefits of family planning:

Promotion of family planning and ensuring access to preferred contraceptive

methods for women and couples is essential to securing the well-being and autonomy of
women, while supporting the health and development of communities.

Preventing pregnancy-related health risks in women

A woman’s ability to choose if and when to become pregnant has a direct impact on
her health and well-being. Family planning allows spacing of pregnancies and can
delay pregnancies in young women at increased risk of health problems and death
from early childbearing. It prevents unintended pregnancies, including those of older
women who face increased risks related to pregnancy. Family planning enables
women who wish to limit the size of their families to do so. Evidence suggests that
women who have more than 4 children are at increased risk of maternal mortality. By
reducing rates of unintended pregnancies, family planning also reduces the need for
unsafe abortion.

Reducing infant mortality

Family planning can prevent closely spaced and ill-timed pregnancies and births,
which contribute to some of the world’s highest infant mortality rates. Infants of
mothers who die as a result of giving birth also have a greater risk of death and poor
health.

Helping to prevent HIV/AIDS

Family planning reduces the risk of unintended pregnancies among women living
with HIV, resulting in fewer infected babies and orphans. In addition, male and
female condoms provide dual protection against unintended pregnancies and against
STIs including HIV.

Empowering people and enhancing education

Family planning enables people to make informed choices about their sexual and
reproductive health. Family planning represents an opportunity for women to pursue
additional education and participate in public life, including paid employment in non-
family organizations. Additionally, having smaller families allows parents to invest
more in each child. Children with fewer siblings tend to stay in school longer than
those with many siblings.

Reducing adolescent pregnancies

Pregnant adolescents are more likely to have preterm or low birth-weight babies.
Babies born to adolescents have higher rates of neonatal mortality. Many adolescent
girls who become pregnant have to leave school. This has long-term implications for
them as individuals, their families and communities.

Slowing population growth

Family planning is key to slowing unsustainable population growth and the resulting
negative impacts on the economy, environment, and national and regional
development efforts (WHO, 2017)

Review of Related Studies

Local Studies

Family planning is an organized plan to prevent unwanted pregnancy and infertility. It

also refers to the management and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases as well as
preconception thus with a proper knowledge of what family planning is all about. Here are the
different types of family planning methods in a Philippines that a couples can safely use.

Condoms is a sheath-shaped barrier device used during sexual intercourse to reduce

the probability of pregnancy or a sexually transmitted infection . There are many
things to learn about condoms and how they are an effective measure against
pregnancy. Here is the information at a glance; Effective, Safe, and easy to use birth
control method, cost effective and affordable, most made of plastic or latex, worn on
the penis to prevent sperm from entering the vagina, can be used to prevent sexually
transmitted infections (STI’s) and pregnancy, for extra protection they can be used
with other forms of birth control, can be used during vaginal, oral, and anal sex, (STIs
2006) also according to Birthcontrol. Net (2006) “Both regular and female
condoms are the only form of birth control that will help protect against STI’s and
HIV. So even if you are using other birth control methods, it is important to use one
to avoid infections. They can be purchased from drug stores, found in washrooms, or
are even given away at community centers and clinics. They are a low cost alternative
that offers you protection against STI’s. You do not need a prescription or need to
show ID to purchase them. They come in various textures, shapes, flavors and styles
that can increase the pleasure for you and your partner. There are also ones that can
delay ejaculation so that sex lasts longer. Since no birth control method is 100%
effective, using a backup method like a condom just adds protection. Condoms reduce
your risk of becoming pregnant. In addition, there are little to no side effects of using
condoms. Some people might feel irritation caused by the latex, but condoms come in

6
 EMMANUEL JOHN INSTITUTE of SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY
Marvic Bldg, Mc Arthur, Karuhatan, Valenzuela City

other materials such as nitrile, polyisoprene, polyurethane and lambskin. You can also
try using a lubricant to decrease irritation as well. Unlike an IUD or birth control shot,

you can forget to use one before having sex. In order for them to be effective, you
need to wear a condom every time you have sex. This means that you cannot put it on
half way through or take it off during the middle of sex. This will not protect you
against pregnancy or STI’s. Having a supply of them nearby can reduce your chances
of forgetting to put one on. In addition, it can take some time to get used to wearing
condoms or putting one on. This may kill the mood if it takes long or if either partner
feels uncomfortable with it on. It is important that you feel good about wearing one
though. Test out different types, brands and styles until you find one that’s
comfortable for you. Other good tips are to keep each other stimulated before and
during putting it on. This can be done by kissing and touching throughout the process.
The biggest disadvantage of using a condom is that it might break. Condoms can tear
during sex, leaving you at risk of becoming pregnant or contracting an STI. If your
condom breaks, consider taking the morning after pill to avoid pregnancy. If infection
becomes a concern, you may also want to book an appointment with your health care
professional to get checked out.”

Withdrawal, also known as coitus interruptus or "the pull-out method," has long been
used for contraception as a natural response to the discovery that ejaculation into the
vagina causes pregnancy. It requires no devices, involves no chemicals or artificial
hormones, and is available in any situation at no cost. Withdrawal is accomplished
when, during intercourse, the man pulls out his penis just before ejaculation. This
requires much discipline. As orgasm is impending, a man may not withdraw in
enough time to prevent semen from escaping into the vagina. Although withdrawal
has no known side effects, interruption of the sexual response cycle can greatly
diminish the pleasure of a couple. Some couples, however, have worked out these
problems and use withdrawal successfully. This method is estimated to have a 27%
failure rate annually among typical users. That means that every year, over 1 in 4

7
 EMMANUEL JOHN INSTITUTE of SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY
Marvic Bldg, Mc Arthur, Karuhatan, Valenzuela City

people using withdrawal as their only method of birth control will get pregnant.
Failure rates will be lower for couples using

Withdrawal in combination with another method. Perfect users can expect a failure
rate as low as 4%, which actually compares favorably too many other methods.
Withdrawal has a 31% annual failure rate for teens because they typically have less
practice using this method effectively. More about birth control failure rates for teens
and young adults. (Contracept. ORG, 2012)

IUD’s is a little, t-shaped piece of plastic that gets put in your uterus to mess with the
way sperm can move and prevent them from fertilizing an egg. Sounds odd, but it
works like a charm. IUDs offer years of protection—between three and twelve,
depending on the type you get. (BEDSIDER.ORG)

Pills birth control pills are a kind of medicine with hormones that you take every day
to prevent pregnancy always take it on time. Besides preventing pregnancy, the pill
has lots of other health benefits, too. There are many different brands of pills. The
birth control pill works by stopping sperm from meeting an egg (which is called
fertilization).The hormones in the pill stop ovulation. No ovulation means there’s no
egg hanging around for sperm to fertilize, so pregnancy can’t happen. The pill’s
hormones also thicken the mucus on the cervix. Thicker cervical mucus makes it hard
for the sperm to swim to an egg — kind of like a sticky security guard. (Planned
Parenthood.org)

Foreign Studies

It is important that family planning is widely available and easily accessible through
midwives and other trained health workers to anyone who is sexually active, including
adolescent. Midwives are trained to provide (where authorized) locally available and culturally
acceptable contraceptive methods. Other trained health workers, for example community health
workers, also provide counselling and some family planning methods, for example pills and

8
 EMMANUEL JOHN INSTITUTE of SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY

condoms. For methods such as sterilization, women and men need to be referred to a clinician.
(WHO Media centers)

Contraceptive Use has increased in many parts of the world, especially in Asia and Latin
America, but continues to be low in sub-Saharan Africa. Globally, use of modern contraception
has risen slightly, from 54% in 1990 to 57.4% in 2015. Regionally, the proportion of women
aged 15–49 reporting use of a modern contraceptive method has risen minimally or plateaued
between 2008 and 2015. In Africa it went from 23.6% to 28.5%, in Asia it has risen slightly from
60.9% to 61.8%, and in Latin America and the Caribbean it has remained stable at 66.7%.Use of
contraception by men makes up a relatively small subset of the above prevalence rates. The
modern contraceptive methods for men are limited to male condoms and sterilization
(vasectomy).

Global unmet need for contraception 214 million women of reproductive age in developing
countries who want to avoid pregnancy are not using a modern contraceptive method. Reasons
for this include: limited choice of methods, limited access to contraception, particularly among

young people, poorer segments of populations, or unmarried people, fear or experience of side-
effects, cultural or religious opposition, poor quality of available services, users and providers
bias gender-based barriers. The unmet need for contraception remains too high. This inequity is
fuelled by both a growing population, and a shortage of family planning services. In Africa,
24.2% of women of reproductive age have an unmet need for modern contraception. In Asia, and
Latin America and the Caribbean – regions with relatively high contraceptive prevalence – the
levels of unmet need are 10.2 % and 10.7%, respectively (Trends in Contraception Worldwide
2015, UNDESA).

the infant, on the part of the mother. (Serena, 2004)

Calendar Method (Rhythm Method) a method in which the fertile phase of the menstrual cycle
is determined by calculating the length of at least six previous menstrual cycle. The beginning of
the fertile phase is determined by subtracting 18 to 21 from the length of the shortest menstrual
cycle. The end of the fertile phase is determined by subtracting 9 from 11 from the longest
menstrual cycle.  When used alone, the calendar method may be unreliable, especially for

22

women with irregular menstrual cycles, and may be overly restrictive for some couples (Serena,
2004)

Contraception the conscious use by sexually active people of chemicals (spermicides), drugs
(hormones), devices (condoms, diaphragms, intrauterine devices), surgery or behaviors to
prevent pregnancy. (Serena, 2004)

Effectiveness measurement of the extent to which a purpose or objective is achieve (Serena,

2004)

Egg (Ovum) the female reproductive cell (gamete). (Serena, 2004)

Embryo the developing organism from conception to about the eighth week of pregnancy.
(Serena, 2004)

Estrogen (Or Oestrogen) the hormone responsible for the feminine characteristics in women. It
is present during the whole menstrual cycle but especially abundant before ovulation, when it
stimulates the fertility signs (Serena, 2004)

Family Planning methods used by sexually active people to prevent, space or achieve pregnancy
in order to attain the desired family size. (Serena, 2004)

15

Infertility the inability to reproduce: the inability of a man to father a child or of a woman to
conceive and carry a pregnancy to term. (Serena, 2004)

Menopause the end of menstruation, which is usually considered permanent when there is no
menstruation for 12 months.  During premenopause fertility gradually ceases, menstrual cycles
may vary greatly in length and fertile mucus becomes less frequent.  Some women experience
hot flashes as part of the physical and mental changes associated with menopause. The
menopause signals the end of ovarian function. (Serena, 2004)

Menstrual Cycle the entire cycle of physical changes from the beginning of one menstruation to
the beginning of the next. During this period hormones produced by the ovaries cause the
endometrium to shed and develop anew. (Serena, 2004)

Menstruation (or Period; or Menses) the cyclic discharge of the lining of the endometrium
(menstrual blood, cellular debris, and mucus) that occurs about 2 weeks after ovulation if the

mechanical means, or behaviours that interfere with the natural end of the sexual act(Serena,
2004)

Natural Family Planning methods for planning and preventing pregnancies that are based on
observing the naturally occurring signs and symptoms of the fertile and infertile phases of the
menstrual cycle.  To avoid pregnancy, couples using natural family planning abstain from

Ovum (plural: Ova) the mature female reproductive cell.  Also known as an egg. (Serena, 2004)

Ovulation the process in which the ovum is released from the mature follicle.  Ovulation usually
occurs 10 to 16 days before the next menstruation. The ovum is capable of being fertilized for
about 10 hours after ovulation but probably no more than 24 hours. (Serena, 2004)

All participants were asked to accomplish a survey questionnaire about what is the most
family planning that they used. The observation and interview instruments are organized to
follow the six basic steps of asking questions. The acronym GATHER helps providers remember
each of these steps, which are:

Greet participants and make them comfortable;

Ask participants about themselves;

Tell participants about the family planning methods available;

27

Help participants choose a method;

Explain how to use or obtain the chosen method; and

Recommend and schedule a return visit or refer to other services if needed.

All questionnaire were answered by the participants without any time pressure. The
results were carefully tallied and treated with following statistical tools: frequency, percentage
and mode.
