I am recording this on April 15, 2006. I planned to record my show 2 last sunday but something happened that is really important that I would like to share with you in this show. Last sunday a new edition to my family was born. My 2nd son was born last sunday, april 9 at 1:20 pm. He wighed 4 kilos about 8.8 pounds.

I wanted to share some of the nice things here in canada that we encotered during this birth process. First I did not pay much for the hospital. The room and services where covered by MSP and the extended health coverage from my office. The only thing i payed for where the extra stuff like the phone and tv. If we were in the philippines this probably is not the case. We would have payed for top money. The hospital the we went to was sort of the public hospital for the City. even tough it was public i have to say that it was nice and clean. Not overcrowded. If we were in the philippines and go to a public hospital probably it would not be a nice experiance for us. To get a nice service you probably would go to the private hospitals such as St lukes at e. rodriguez.

Another thing that I like about canada is the support that they give to the family who has kids. The kids will be getting child tax benefits. You can compare it to an allowance that is given to the kids every 2 weeks depending on the income of the parents. So this helps us a lot. It will help in getting baby supplies such as diapers, milk and vitamins. In the Philippines they dont have this. I am not sure about the other coutries. But this is such a big help to starting families.

I guess to have these sorts of benefits the country has to have the resourecs. So I guess the first step is to solve poverety. If anyone has the answer to that then no one in the world will be poor.
