The Natural and Artificial Concepts of Family Planning Seminar-Workshop themed

Family Planning: Natural vs. Artificial Method was an eye-opener and an activity to open our

mind for new knowledge and factual information. What I learned in this seminar was family

planning is not just a thing to be disdain. If partners or married couples doesnt want unplanned

pregnancy they are more likely to practice family planning methods. It also means controlling the

number of children in the family. As madam IC was talking about every after the different methods

she was always telling us to forget the method and just focus on our studies or we should abstain

coitus.

The seminar helps us to embrace the new knowledge in our life and I expect that I can

make use of it for the better future. I am moved not to be involve in coitus because of the risk of

having sexually transmitted diseases and having an unplanned pregnancy for the partner. For me

it is better to use the abstinence method for it is 100% sure that there will be no conception. I am

reoriented and reinforced about the methods in artificial family planning such us using condoms,

and actually there are also female condoms, pills, IUD, diaphragm, spermicide, calendar based and

withdrawal. But again the most effective way is ABSTINENCE.

The seminar was smooth though we didnt have enough time for the preparation but each

class gave their contribution and participated well. Madam Imelda Corazon C. Camposano taught

as well, shared what she knows about family planning, and gave her advises to us. I admit that Ive

really learned a lot within two hours of listening to her. It was good and Im happy to know things

in life. Maybe someone is thinking that is weird to talk about this things, but how can we learn if

we are not discussing about it. It is only normal to talk about things like that madam IC said. We

left the room with one thing in our head abstinence is the key to prevent unwanted pregnancy.
