PHILIPPINES for RESPONSIVE GOVERNANCE-THIRDFORCE Many groups have arisen in the Philippines clamoring for changes in governance. Good Governance, Moral Governance and now, RESPONSIVE Governance. We all have one thing in common -- a change of philosophy in governing from corrupting, corruptible and corrupt to one that is populist, considering the real needs of the people to alleviate poverty, raising their consciousness as well as delivering them from the many ills in society.

CHILDLESS MOTHER
Amalia Fuentes (Muhlach) recently lost her daughter, Lizelle, to cancer. Unfortunately, the relatives of Lizelle's husband refused her visit to her funeral, and even caused her to miss seeing her daughter's body before cremation.
My sympathies go to Amalia, one of the famous actresses in the 50's ad 60's whose strong personality on screen somehow shaped the idea that women can stand up to men.
I think that mothers should be allowed to be with their children, regardless of the emotional entanglements they have had with the in-laws. It is downright cruel and inhuman -- as it feels like robbing Amalia of her womb where she had carried Lizelle.
Maybe we should have a law against that, or we should search for current legislations that will allow her to assuage her grief and dismissal of her right to see her daughter when she was still ill, her body, after dying, and during burial. Some lawyers should help Amalia restore her injured maternal feelings, especially as we are supposed to be observing International Women's Month in the country. .
