Mother and thier babies in the Philippines

According to Wikipedia, as of July 2008, Philippine Population's about 90.5 million with still 7,107 island. Whew! According to National Statistics Office - Philippines, our population to date is 90.46M as of August 2008. Mind you last July 2007 we're 88.57M. So it means there are 1.89M additional babies from our Filipina Mothers this year. Which also means 157thousand babies were born every month or 5,250 every day.

There's no problem having babies, they are God's gift to us. But what about their future, if we do have so many kids in the house. Say we have at least 5 children to feed plus the 2 parents, making it 7 mouth, with an earning amounting to P50 ( less than a dollar ) a day? Just a thought for a day...
