Our kids must revoltWhy do Filipino babies grow to age 15 hardly knowing anything? Even if the Discayas commit suicide 10 times, that won’t be enough to compensate for the stunted growth and brain damage of two million Filipino kids a year. The P50 billion could have saved two million kids from malnutrition and brain damage that is almost permanent. One in four Filipino children experiences stunted growth or 23.6 percent; 5.6 percent are wasted, especially among the poorest. Now, can our kids revolt?
