Tagbilaran City Mayor Dan Lim yesterday reminded on all sectors about their responsibility in nurturing the children.
"We are all accountable for whatever happens to our children," the mayor stressed.
The mayor issued the call two days after attending a forum hosted by the diocese of Tagbilaran to address the population issue.
Lim made it clear he is in favor only of natural methods.
The mayor said the problem is not so much the number of children but the quality of life of the family.
"There are couples who have many children but each one becomes a positive contribution to society," he noted.
On the other hand, the mayor said there are also those who have only one child who turns out to be a liability.
Lim pointed out that children "never asked to be born" so they should not get the blame for unfortunate incidents.
He noted that some children born to unwed mothers or as a result of rape are made to bear the brunt for the acts of their fathers.
"They have nothing to do with what their mothers suffered so they should not be treated badly," the mayor stressed.
Lim said the parents, teachers, church and government have their respective responsibilities to the children. - Sunday Post Newspaper
