MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN): Noting the historical trend that unplanned pregnancies spike during natural calamities, the Commission on Population and Development (Popcom) has urged couples to practise family planning and responsible parenthood even while the enhanced community quarantine is in effect across Luzon due to Covid-19.
According to Popcom, accidental pregnancies should no longer add to the heavy load of health workers who are already grappling to treat patients in this time of Covid-19 pandemic.
