Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy).

ABSTRACT

Natural family planning is being actively promoted in a pineapple plantation of the Philippine Packing Corporation

(PPC) located in northern Bukidnon province. Prospective acceptors attend 4 seminars which cover sex education

and instruction on natural family planning methods. The goal of the program is family life and marriage enrichment

rather than family size limitation. Thus, there is no target number of acceptors. Early acceptors used the basal body

temperature method, but this was subsequently replaced by the sympto-thermal method. Participants report that the

close observation of physical changes required by the natural family planning method has enabled them to be more

aware of their bodies and more appreciative of themselves. Laypersons work closely with acceptor couples. There

are 6 fulltime grassroots motivators and 23 camp motivators. Affiliated with the Family Life Commission of the

Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines, the program is also supported by the Phillips Memorial Hospital and

is part of the PPC's barrio assistance program. The corporation actively supports self-help projects in the plantation

areas. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT5T 2014-06)
