[...]

The event was also held to raise awareness about the benefits of breast-feeding, organizers said.

Dr. Nicholas Alipui, UNICEF representative to the Philippines, said breast-feeding can help curb malnutrition in children under two years old, provide children with antibodies to fight diseases and boost the country's economy because families save on infant formula.

Words to live by

"A school prayer amendment would confer upon public school boards a power the First Amendment now denies to Congress and the states, that is, the power to establish religion."


— -- Sam Ervin, Preserving the Constitution (1984), quoted from Albert J. Menendez and Edd Doerr, The Great Quotations on Religious Freedom
