                    [Summary] => It is tragic that the highly educated GMA is the country’s first economics professor to become President, but she has failed to promote family planning due perhaps to her personal religious piety  or her concern that the powerful Catholic bishops of her Edsa 2 coalition will oppose her. Is her perceived lack of strong political base and controversial Edsa 2 rise to political power another reason for GMA not wanting to incur the wrath of the Catholic bishops on the population control issue?
