PBS does a report on the birth control programs in small, rural areas in the Philippines and their effect on the community.

Resident Jason Bostero explains why he and his wife Crisna chose to have only two children: “I am a farmer and fisherman. My income is just right to feed us three times a day. It’s really, really different when you have a small family.”

A community-based family planning program is making condoms and the birth control pill “as easy as buying soft drinks or matches” in the village, according to the report.
