Population, health and environment (PHE) issues is indeed the highlight of the challenges Philippines is now facing. Not only now that these concerns come across but the fact that it’s been there for several years, why does these issues keep on being part of the difficulty that encumber our country?

POPULATION AND HEALTH ISSUES: By the year 2025, CALABARZON is expected to grow to approximately 16Million people. ―It is quite amazing. But it’s even more astonishment to feel and think where this 16 M people would reside and make their living.
