Miss Isles, sa dihang natawo ko sa 1964 (hapit na ako bday) ehehehhee! 5 mi kabuok, dayun sa amo street pila lang mi ka balay. among silingan 4 ang uban 6, ka mga anak, karon kada usa namo naay mga anak 2 ang uban3 ang uban 4 or 5. ang among street napuno na ug mga balay...dayun kada balay naay tindahan! hahahahhhaha! kinsa man mo palit na? anyway, sa among panahon dako pa kaajo ang ma umahan... karon napuno na sa mga balay. sa una ang tuna, barilis, tangigi kinabaratuhan, karon di na kaajo makita kay gi ban na ang uban isda. gawas ang uban illegal fishing, di ba lahi ang atong panahon kompara sa una? anyway na simang naman ko ani oi... i still believe in birth control nga sa panahon sa una ginadili...ambut kaha karon ug ginadili pa ba.
OT: yeheee! salamat kay nibalik na ka! (si scarbzy na pod ang nahilom, huhuhu.)
the scene that you have described is repeated many times over in our country in particular and in the third world in general. it is as real as you and i are real.
these days, in our country, it's the difference between responsible parenthood and artificial birth control that's the issue. if a couple doesn't want more mouths to feed and they feel that more mouths don't necessarily mean more hands that work, then fine. no one can tell them otherwise. but they should opt for natural birth control.
kay di man diay kaya, pugong sa panahon sa tingpugong. mora na man hinoon ug iresponsable nga gusto rag palami pero di modawat sa responsibilidad nga mao unyay resulta sa palami.
for every sad economic story of big families that are bursting at the seams, there's also a story of big families who have conquered the odds.
naa koy kaila nga 13 sila nga anak. marginal fisherman ang amahan, housewife and inahan. each child was precious to the parents. puro nakahuman ug college tanan. unbelievable. giunsa nila pag-invest ug education? kada naay mahuman, mogasto dayon sa sunod manghod. kay puro kugihan, hamugaway na ron silang tanan.
they did not rue the day their parents chose to let them live, they did not blame each other for being born. rather, they looked at themselves as assets that worked for their mutual gains.
