Sex education in teen pregnancy prevention bill questioned
The Philippine Star
|January 17, 2025
Some senators have expressed concern about the version of a teenage pregnancy prevention bill in the Senate, following pressure from conservative groups opposed to a comprehensive sexuality education (sex-ed) program in the country.
During the Kapihan sa Senado forum yesterday, Sen. Joel Villanueva revealed that some senators who were previously co-authors of the measure plan to withdraw support from the bill authored by Sen. Risa Hontiveros.
The proposed Senate Bill 1979 or "Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy" act seeks to craft a national program to address the alarming cases of adolescent pregnancies, some as young as 10 years old.
The co-authors of the bill are Senators Imee Marcos, Ramon Revilla Jr., Bong Go, Cynthia Villar, Raffy Tulfo and then senator now Education Secretary Sonny Angara.
