00:00Senator Riza Ontiveros amended the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Bill
00:05in accordance with the opinions of several groups and President Marcos in the Panucala.
00:10Seven of the Senators who first signed for the Panucala agreed.
00:14Maki Pulido reports.
00:19You will teach four-year-olds how to masturbate.
00:24That every child has the right to try different sexualities.
00:31The President said it was too premature,
00:35but I wonder what version they read.
00:40In accordance with President Marcos' opinion on the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Bill,
00:46seven Senators signed the committee report of the Panucala.
00:50They haven't gone to the President yet.
00:52He has a pronouncement that he will veto.
00:55So why would we produce a committee report when we know that the President will veto it?
01:01I am not in favor of any committee that will damage the value of the family
01:07and the dignity of the faith of our fellowmen.
01:11Eighteen Senators signed the committee report.
01:15Senator Riza Ontiveros, who has a Panucala record,
01:19said that the fellow Senators who signed for the Panucala withdrew.
01:23But in the middle, they said that the zero to four-year-old masturbation is in the bill.
01:30Anal sex, oral sex, and any other concepts that are not suitable for children.
01:37The people are afraid.
01:40But I will repeat, none of these are in the bill.
01:46And at any time, this will not be included in any Panucala that I will propose.
01:53Senator Riza Ontiveros signed the Substitute Bill.
01:56We have already removed the phrase, guided by international standards,
02:03because of the restrictions imposed by some.
02:07We have already limited the CSE to Adolescents or 10 years old and above.
02:14Senate President Cheese Escudero said that he will study if the Panucala will return to the committee
02:19or if it will be debated in the plenary.
02:21The Department of Education will review the comprehensive sexual education
02:26that is now part of the curriculum of basic education.
02:29If the Congress will pass a law, they will follow it as an implementing agency.
02:34There is a law that we need to teach sex education under the RH law,
02:42productive health law, and HIV-AIDS prevention.
02:47There is also a law on that.
