OF THE WEEK
Health ‘Alternatives’
It’s not only in Quiapo,
Manila that we can find the likes of her. The old woman is one of several
vendors of unusual herbs and concoctions supposed to have curative
properties in Baguio City, 246 kms. north of Manila. Most well-known among
these are supposed cures for unwanted pregnancies. She and others like her
have been called “quack doctors,” but government is rather tolerant toward
them and common people continue to buy their products. Their increasing
presence in the country’s major population centers proves that medical
costs in the country are becoming more and more unaffordable.
