The province will join the celebration of World Population Day on July 11 with the theme, "The world in seven billion."
The World Population Day aims to draw attention to the urgency and importance of population issues, particularly in the context of overall development plans and programs, and the need to find solutions.
In a recent meeting, Hector Follosco Managing Director Population Fund (UNFPA) and Miriam Baguidudol, provincial chief of the Population Commission, said its offices, along with the provincial local government unit (PLGU) have aligned the activities for the event.
A Kapihan in the air is the first activity will be held on 5 July, in collaboration with the Philippine Information Agency here and Radyun di Ifugao, a community radio station.
Another activity is a photo contest is open to amateur photographers only. Entries must represent the current reality in relation to the seven key messages as follows: reduction of poverty and inequality also slows the growth of the population, leashing the power of women and girls to accelerate progress, largest population of youth is changing our world and the future, ensuring that every child is wanted and every birth safe leads to smaller families and stronger, seven billion of us, and those that follow, depend on the health of our planet, declining fertility and longer life add up to an unprecedented challenge of population aging, the next two billion people will live in cities, so we need to plan now.
For the photography contest, the prize is P2, 000, second prize of P1, 500, third prize-P1, 000; consolation prizes of P500.
UNFPA, said that a world of seven million people is an achievement. Globally, people live longer and healthier lives, and couples are choosing to have fewer children. However, major inequalities persist and daunting challenges lie ahead. While many wealthy countries are concerned about low fertility and aging, poorer nations are struggling to meet the needs of rapidly growing populations.
World Population Day is a consequence Day five billion, which was observed on July 11, 1987.
