Filipino premature babies get a phototherapy at a Kangaroo ward in Manila, in this picture taken August 12, 2004.. Roughly five babies are born every hour during peak season at a hospital known for its reputation as Manila's baby factory. Slowing Philippine birth rate, among Asia's fastest at 2.36 percent a year is key to Arroyo's pledge to create 6 million jobs and remove the country off debt. Picture taken August 12, 2004.
