Go forth and multiply

Overpopulation is good for Filipinos, says a bishop.  Bishop Garcera said the huge Philippine population could be part of “God’s plan for Filipinos to be caregivers to ageing nations whose populations had become stagnant.” He also said many Filipino women would make “good wives” for foreigners in countries that have low population growth. He said that the overpopulation that breeds poverty was not a problem because poverty itself was not a problem. He said poverty even brought people “closer” to God and was instrumental in realizing God’s plan for Filipinos to take care of other nationalities by inducing migration and working abroad.
