MILESTONE BIRTH. Maria Villorente cuddles Baby Vinice, the symbolic 8 billionth human in the world, at the Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital in Manila past 1 a.m. Tuesday.The baby, identified as Vinice Mabansag, was born at Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital at 1:29 a.m. yesterday.
Commission on Population and Development’s chief administrative officer Lyneth Therese Monsalve said they are hoping that Baby Vinice will be a symbol of development in the future.“We are looking at particularly the local government units for the possible interventions that they have to give for these babies and the coming other babies for that matter in terms of health, education, then housing when they grow up,” she said.
But while some worry that eight billion humans is too many for planet Earth, most experts say the bigger problem is the overconsumption of resources by the wealthiest people. Since the emergence of the first humans in Africa over two million years ago the world’s population has ballooned, with only fleeting pauses to the increasing number of people sharing Earth.
