MANILA, Philippines – For the longest time, having a baby was part and parcel of being a woman. That was just how it was: a woman finds a man, she gets married, she gets pregnant, she becomes a mother, rinse, repeat.  

These days, though, more and more women are deciding not to have kids. And in a country like the Philippines, you’d be called selfish, or sad.  

In this episode of I’ve Got An Opinion, Rappler’s podcast on ordinary people with extraordinary beliefs, we speak with Rachelle Valera, who is happily married, and happily child-free. 

What led her to be child-free by choice? How does she fend off all the nosy titas looking for a baby bump? Let’s find out! – Rappler.com
