M. author Fetal personhood in the Christian Philippines the view from a Visayan island Hannah C. M. Bulloch. Quezon City Ateneo de Manila University 2016. pp. 195-222 b&w illustrations. "Issues of fetal personhood have been controversial in the Philippines in the context of reproductive health debates, but little is understood about how ordinary Filipinos construct fetal and early infant personhood in the context of theri everyday lives. This article draws on ethnographic research in Siquijor, a Central Visayan island with a Catholic population. Based on conversations about pregnancy an miscarriage, I show that unlike notions promoted by elites of the Catholic Church, which fix personhood to the moment of conception, local notions of personhood are processual. Significantly, ensoulment, while thought to occur at conception, is not sufficient to produce a person." Death. Soul. Siquijor Island. Fetal development.
