Others turn to peddling their unwanted child. What must be done to stop the trend?

| As the world recognizes the International Day of Action for Women's Health, Dr. Junice Melgar, director of the Likhaan Center for Women's Health, talks about the figures explaining why the country's maternal mortality rates have not improved since 1990. Back then, there were 120 deaths per 100,000 childbirths, but with an almost stagnant rate with the current 114.

Description

Emmeline Verzosa, Executive Director of the Philippine Commission on Women, says rape is not a joking matter in light of President Duterte's recent controversial remark at the graduation rites of the Philippine Military Academy. Dr. Junice Melgar, Director of the Likhaan Center for Women's health, says she expected the PCW to be more vocal against the President.
