no one has ever articulated her views about breastfeeding (more on that later), motherhood, marriage, politics and breast cancer better than Ms. Lea Salonga.
there is no doubt about her talent in singing and performing. but her first Marie Claire Philippines cover made me her fan when she talked about her opinions about everything that i think is important a woman should know or at least consider.and in this October issue, it is official. i'm not just a fan. i adore this woman.
i know its too early for me to say anything about breastfeeding, having no child yet, but since i was i guess 20, my mom who breastfed all of us (3), was always vocal and reminded us how important breastfeeding is. i still up to this day don't understand why some mothers choose otherwise. i have nothing against them though, but what are those breasts and milk it produces for if you wont give it to the little person it is intended for? aside from the bonding it creates between moms and babies, for me its so simple. breasts = milk = babies.
i was surprised that for someone like her who lived abroad, she is still very much Filipina. that's what made me admire her most. she deserves every praise, every compliment she gets.
she even said that on her 40th birthday she'll be getting her first mamogram, as her birthday gift to herself. which gave me an idea. i'll also do that on my 40th birthday. let's all do that on our 40th!
if you havent have the copy of this month's issue of marie claire. pls get one and lets all order the icanserve tshirts! i'll post the details later. the magazine is out of my reach as i write this kasi.
