This photo taken on August 4, 2010 shows newly-born babies inside the nursery room of a government-run maternity hospital in Manila.

Speaking in a satellite television interview from the United States where he is on a seven-day visit, Aquino stressed that the number of children a couple had was a matter of personal choice.
