Mukhang maisasantabi na muna ng mag-asawang Ice Seguerra at Film Development Council of the Philippines Chairperson Liza Diño-Seguerra ang matagal na nilang plano na pagkakaroon ng anak.
Sa virtual media conference ng PelikuLAYA Film Festival ng FDCP last June 1, nabanggit ni Chair Liza na pinag-uusapan talaga nila ngayong mabuti ni Ice ang tungkol sa pagkakaroon ng baby na matagal na nga nilang plano.
Medyo atubili sila na ituloy ang plano dahil sa law natin sa Pilipinas na mawawalan ng karapatan si Ice sa bata.
“Imagine, if we’re going to have a baby, so, pinag-uusapan po natin ngayon ito pong pagkakaroon ko po ng baby, kung papalarin po kami, it’s going to be Ice’s egg and I’m going to be the surrogate.
“But when this baby comes out, I’m going to be recognized as the mom, and Ice will have no right over our baby. Because wala pa po tayong surrogacy law. And for us, that is something we should think about po sa society,” ani Liza.
Unfair naman daw for Ice na anak nito ang bata pero wala siyang karapatan dito dahil dito sa atin, kung sino ang nagluwal ng bata ay ‘yun ang biological mom.
“And this is something that we’re thinking, pinag-uusapan po namin ‘to lagi, paano po namin mae-ensure ‘yung rights?” dagdag niya.
Sa ngayon ay pinag-iisipan nila na sa US na lang siya manganak if ever dahil doon ay kinikilala ang marriage nila.
“And Ice will be the father and we will be recognized nang normal. Pero dito po sa atin, ang daming magiging komplikasyon because of the situation,” she said.
Bukod pa nga rito ang pandemic na pinagdaraanan natin ngayon.
“Siyempre, lahat po tayo, may pinagdaraanang financial constraints, so, si Ice po, more than a year na rin pong walang work, so we’re both finding ways to maintain and sustain our life,” aniya.
Samantala, bilang selebrasyon sa Pride Month this June, FDCP will hold the 2nd PelikuLAYA: LGBTQIA+ Film Festival online from June 4 to 30.
