"The essence of NFP is identifying the fertile and infertile phases and timing coitus to those phases - avoiding coitus if the intention is to avoid pregnancy. How these phases are identified is immaterial. The validity of SDM, I believe, is beyond question. "

- Dr. Vicente Rosales, Former President of the Philippine Medical Association

 

"SDM is a good alternative which does not have any complications.  This is a simpler method and reportedly highly acceptable to a lot of women and service providers.  SDM should be available in programs to allow clients greater freedom of choice."

- Dr. Rebecca Ramos, Consultant for the World Health Organization/WPRO


"... SDM should be viewed as a pastoral imperative - to enable couples to have an informed and responsible choice with regard to family planning"

- Bishop Antonio Ledesma, SJ, Prelature of Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay


"With SDM, daily recording is not needed. It is so easy to understand, to learn and to follow"

- Ms. Rose Mallari, Midwife from Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital

 

"SDM is a good and suitable method for us. No-side effect"

- Couple User: Mr. & Mrs. Jose Borres, Barangay Indalasa, Malaybalay, Bukidnon

 

"I believe it's (referring to SDM) respectful of wives. No apprehensions. I believe it is sexually satisfying, ... it's natural and there is no pressure ..."

- SDM User: Mr. James Laking, Kesbeng, La Trinidad, Benguet
