Drew Arellano Praised by Commission on Population and Development for Responsible Family Planning Choice
DREW ARELLANO – Television host Drew Arellano has been praised by the Commission on Population and Development for his responsible family planning choice, setting a positive example for men in similar situations.
Drew Arellano has been commended by the Commission on Population and Development (CPD) for his responsible and thoughtful approach to family planning. Arellano, who made headlines earlier this year for undergoing a vasectomy, was recognized for taking an active role in ensuring his family’s future well-being.
In a statement reported by GMA News, the CPD expressed admiration for Drew’s decision, calling it a clear demonstration of his love and commitment to his family. “The Commission on Population and Development lauds Mr. Drew Arellano… for receiving vasectomy as his manifestation of love for his spouse and family,” the CPD said.
The CPD also highlighted the growing importance of shared responsibility between partners when it comes to family planning. Historically, women have borne much of the responsibility in terms of family planning and contraception. However, Drew’s decision to undergo the procedure challenges this norm and sets a positive example for other men. The CPD emphasized that men’s involvement in such decisions is essential for fostering responsible parenthood and supporting their partner’s well-being.
“This gesture strongly exemplifies responsible parenthood and family planning as promoted by the CPD. Currently, family planning is exercised mostly by women,” the statement read, adding that men taking on a more active role is both commendable and necessary.
Drew’s decision comes after the birth of his fifth child with wife and fellow TV personality Iya Villania earlier this year. According to reports, the couple welcomed their newest addition in February, and Drew’s decision to undergo the vasectomy was part of their long-term family planning.
The CPD’s praise of Drew’s decision has resonated with the online community, with many netizens applauding his maturity, selflessness, and dedication to his family. His actions serve as an example of how men can take an active, responsible role in planning for the future of their families.
