According to data cited by the Commission on Population and Development (CPD), the percentage of Filipino girls aged 15 to 19 who had begun childbearing declined from 8.6% in 2017 to 5.4% in 2022.
However, live births among girls aged 10 to 14 rose from 2,411 in 2019 to 3,343 in 2023, based on Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) civil registration data referenced by the CPD.
The 2022 National Demographic and Health Survey reported that approximately 10.9% of girls aged 15–19 in the region have begun childbearing. It’s the highest rate among all regions in the country.
From the article it sounds like they thought they didn’t need sexual information programs for girls under 14.
Wtf do they expect. They spent years letting pedos use the country as a playground. These kids are sexualised. 10-14 is barely teen it’s as much teen as it is child and that’s the age of a live birth it takes a 9 month pregnancy. They need to be investigating this crap.
Teenage pregnancy among teens, eh?
Those teens had sex.
I’m going to bet the vast majority of cases involve an adult predator.
