Sen. Tito Sotto slams PopCom

He’s at it again.

“Sen. Tito Sotto thinks the recent pronouncement made by the Population Commission (PopCom) that the country’s population is expected to reach 100 million this year is just a bluff to pressure the Supreme Court (SC) to rule in favor of the legality of Republic Act (RA) No. 10354, commonly known as the Reproductive Health law,” reports Jefferson Antiporda in The Manila Times.

Sotto didn’t stop there.

He said that “even if the claims of PopCom is true there is no reason to be worried because the country’s economic prosperity stands better with a bigger population.”

Not if a chunk of that population is comprised of either dumb or corrupt politicians, we say.
