In recent times, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has backed up Sex Education in schools
to declare the issue of teenage pregnancies, to raise attention to the topic too.
The “Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy Act,” or Senate Bill 1979, tries to address the
concerning increase in teenage pregnancies. Although, certain conservative groups have opposed
its controversial Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) provision.
Sex Education being put into schools and teaching growing adolescents about SexEd is a
bright start for the future generations, leveling low percentages of teenage pregnancies, and can
also help the overpopulation here in the Philippines.
Lust can be a sensitive topic, but with the right information, and right people to teach,
SexEd can be implied to the future generation to help understand the whole controversy of
desires and sexual acts when done not protected.
Learning SexEd can help people with addictions with pornography by teaching about the
desires of arousal, and can lower the stereotypes with having sex, saying if one female is a
virgin, means that she’s loose and “open.”
If teaching SexEd to the new generations was so wise and a good future for them, why
didn’t the Department of Education or past presidents open the topic of SexEd early on?
In the Philippines, until now, is church and state is one. A few Catholic groups opposed
teaching SexEd to the students in the Philippines, which lead the percentage of teenage
pregnancies go up from a total of 3135 adolescent girls younger than 15 years old gave birth, a
35.13% increase from the 2320 recorded in 2021
Though, teaching SexEd to the adolescents, and community, can be quiet graphic for a
few audiences, that aren’t well aware of it, thinking it’s too expressive with sex, teenage
pregnancies, harmful deeds like rape and sexual harassment is too much to teach children in
primary school.

And with those information already given, they believed that teaching SexEd isn’t much
necessary anymore since they were taught from the Bible that sex is only done by man and wife,
thinking that could be enough to prevent children and young adolescents to not have sex.
But that’s also the reason why our President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. wants to raise the
attention and topic of SexEd so people that aren’t well aware of it, would understand how desire
works, and how risky it can get when too much.
It helps people see the mistakes and consequences when you have unprotected sex.
SexEd also teaches how to take care of yourself, even if you’re a minor or adult. It teaches kids
that your private, is your private, and you’re not supposed to be showing it. It’s your body, and
you should know how to respect it.
It teaches adolescents how the body works scientifically, how your genes affect your
body, and how pregnancies feel and are. It brings awareness to the people that—people that had a
baby, can be fit and happy, or depressed due to postpartum.
It teaches new mothers how to take care of themselves during your first few months and
when the baby is due near. Shows how symptoms can be different, and how certain habits can
effect not just the woman, but the baby.
Spreading this can also lessen the overpopulation, by families realizing that they can
control their desires and, or—use protection such as condoms or birth control pills.
SexEd isn’t just all about intercourse and lust, it’s about how one takes care of your body,
how to deal with protected or not protected intercourse, how livelihood is to a parent, planning a
family, and how the body and pregnancy works scientifically.
