At the recently concluded Philippine Expo of Tropical Fishes 2010 (PETFish) at SM City San Lazaro, one picture stood out. It was a child looking intently at a super red arowana while seemingly trying to reach at the fish on display.
As a children's right advocate, I deliberately smudged out the child's face and although the shot may mean differently to anyone - the poignancy remains of the innocent wish of a child to own a pet. We will never know what she was thinking, just that it brings back memories of childhood dreams - of owning, caring for one's own pets.
