The choice is ours.

This film begins by showing Filippino women in labour in an over-crowded delivery room where newborns have to share tiny plastic cots immediately after birth. Illustrated by wonderful footage of the Philippines in the early 1970s we are told about the rise in population in the Philippines and how this is bringing about migration to the cities, unemployment, health problems and general poverty. Ruben Apelo, President of the Family Planning Association of the Philippines talks about how difficult it is to implement a working contraceptive policy given the strong Catholic faith of the republic. The film ends with a speech by His Excellancy Ferdinand E. Marcos, President of the Republic of the Philippines, who advocates population control and the work of the Family Planning Association.
