Each Child

Each child is a loving act of procreation. Each child is chosen, welcomed, needed, and loved. He or she is recognized as a vital member of society. Not, however, in the Philippines: each child is just a product of copulation inside marriage; if not a product of fecundation outside of marriage. If one wishes to see how exactly a child is chosen, welcomed, needed, and loved - just visit, day or night, the streets of Metro Manila. Poch Suzara
