We had taken two tours by this talented "Rizdi" graduate. Now he was on BBC's excellent piece this past week on the Philippine Catholic Church's responsibility for the out-of-control population situation in Manila.

The two tours -- a two-day trip to Corregidor and a Saturday afternoon walking tour re the Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos monumental arts buildings of Manila.

The BBC clip should be watched by all! Interview one 40-year old woman living is squalor (no teeth) and her 11 children.

Apparantly there is legislation, hotly contested, which is going through the Philippine legislature, correcting the problem. Opposed by the Catholic church, of course.
