The first recorded birth of sextuplets in the Dominican Republic happened on December 27th of the year we just left behind. While the babies, whose mother had undergone fertility treatments to conceive, are struggling to survive, their papi has named one baby after someone that some would say is a source of struggle or a leader in the struggle (depending on who you ask). Emilio Figueroa, the father, said he admired Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez and his “revolución bolivariana” and named one of his newborns “Hugo” to prove it.
