I'm not Catholic, but it makes sense why the "Board of Directors" of that church would want to prevent the Philippine poor from having unrestricted access to pregnancy prevention programs. If, and these are "ifs," if the middle class, well-to-do, and educated Catholics tend to switch religions, or (practice their faith in private and) avoid giving abuloy to Catholic churches (or require their services - kasal, mass, blessing, etc.), then that's revenue loss right there. Bad for business.
Another "if" - if the consistent abuloy revenue comes from the poor (who multiply like rabbits because they're economically barred from access to contraceptives), then it makes sense to oppose moves (like the RH bill) that would stop the poor population from ballooning. As long as there are poor Catholics, the revenue continues.
Corporations, we have to remind ourselves of this, have to protect their mind share. Faith in business. Business in faith.
I will be hated for articulating the above, but it has to be said.
