Beginning this Saturday, April 10, I-Witness looks into underground online activities and stories that transpire especially during these times when Enhanced Community Quarantine is being implemented in certain areas.
To kick off the I-Witness E-Series, host Kara David enters the world of abortion online in her documentary “Unwanted.”
On this day and age when almost everything seems one click away, Kara discovers that abortion has also reached the online platform.
“Yanz,” a seller of abortion pills, used to do discreet business transactions until it gets as easy as exchanging private messages. Surprisingly, these can also be sent via courier services. According to Yanz, she sends out about a hundred parcels on a daily basis and she considers herself her first client—as she reveals performing self-induced abortion when she got pregnant.
Meanwhile, “Ashley” and “Joan” both had unplanned pregnancies. Ashley is still in school and not yet ready to become a mother while for Joan, it was poverty that made her consider having an abortion. In the end, one of them decided to proceed with the plan.
Watch “Unwanted,” I-Witness’s first E-Series episode this Saturday, 10:15 p.m. on GMA.
Kapuso abroad can catch I-Witness on GMA Pinoy TV.
