00:00Under the auspices of Tebang Tao is the heart of Pagunlad

00:03from November 23 to November 29.

00:06This year, it will be held in our country,

00:08the Population and Development Week.

00:10Of course, we will talk about that here in SainiDoc.

00:14And because it's Wednesday,

00:16we will be together to discuss that in the Department of Health

00:20with Doc Marwin Bello.

00:21Doc Marwin.

00:31Good morning, RST.

00:33I am Dr. Marwin Bello from the Department of Health.

00:38Now, we will know what SainiDoc has to say

00:41when it comes to various discussions on health.

00:44From November 23 to November 29,

00:49we held the Population Development Week here in the Philippines.

00:54This is in accordance with the Executive Order No. 76

00:58signed in October 20, 1992

01:01by the former President, Fidel Ramos.

01:05This Executive Order emphasized

01:08the strengthening and broadening of the campaign

01:12that addresses the problem when it comes to the population growth of the Philippines

01:16and the capacity of a country

01:19for a stable, prosperous, and sustainable life for all.

01:24Because of this,

01:25to give us additional information about this discussion,

01:29we will be joined this morning

01:32by Ms. Mylyn Mirasol Kiray,

01:35the Acting Division Chief of the Knowledge Management and Communication Division

01:39of the Commission on Population and Development.

01:43Welcome to SainiDoc and to Rise and Shine Philippines.

01:49Happy family, Doc Marwin.

01:51It's so good to see you.

01:53Ma'am, how is the situation of the population of the Philippines now in 2024?

01:59Actually, Doc, according to the 2020 Census of Population and Housing,

02:04we now have 109 million Filipinos in the country.

02:08And the number of Filipinos being born below the replacement level

02:13means that 1.9 million,

02:15which is less than two children,

02:17are now being born in the country, Doc Marwin.

02:20So, if it's 1.9 million,

02:22the mother and father will not be replaced in the population.

02:25So, that's the situation of our population now.

02:28There are also a lot of people who don't want to get married and are single.

02:32Yes, Doc, that's true.

02:34We have a study, Doc,

02:36that the Filipinos really want,

02:39sometimes, to have pets over children.

02:42Their priorities are more economic now, Doc Marwin.

02:47So, the lifestyle is different.

02:49For those who are married,

02:51how many children should they have?

02:55Should they have a spouse or a family?

02:59We are saying to the Commission,

03:01to the Population of Population and Housing, Doc Marwin,

03:03the quality of the population is what we want.

03:06We will not say the ideal number of children.

03:11But what we want is for the mother and father to be replaced in the population

03:15so that they have a replacement in our population.

03:19But, we are below the replacement now.

03:22Women are being educated,

03:25so their children are less.

03:28Especially when they are educated,

03:30when they are employed.

03:31So, that's what's happening, Doc Marwin.

03:33Yes.

03:34But it still needs to be given a quality of life

03:39for the children of a family.

03:43So, what advice do you have for every Filipino

03:48who has a family during this time?

03:53Even if we are below the replacement level,

03:56we still want to tell our fellow Filipinos

03:59to plan for a family.

04:01That's really for a quality of life.

04:05Because even if we are below the replacement level,

04:12we still see women who have children

04:16that they don't intend to have.

04:19So, there's still a gap.

04:21If they have three children,

04:23they only want two.

04:25So, there are still women like that.

04:27So, to our viewers,

04:29we invite you to still plan for a family.

04:32Because the traditional method of family planning is still high, Doc.

04:3516.5%.

04:36So, there are still a lot of Filipinos

04:38who are withdrawing and using the calendar method,

04:41which is Bukay Kang Bata Ka.

04:43So, it's not effective, Doc.

04:45And the current method that we use is only 42%.

04:49Yes.

04:50So, Ma'am, how can they access these family planning commodities or methods

04:55to have the right number and distance of birth?

05:02Actually, in our health centers,

05:05family planning is free.

05:07It's given by the Department of Health.

05:09So, to those who are listening and watching,

05:11you can go to the health centers

05:13because the family planning methods are free there.

05:16You can also access,

05:18let's talk about the family planning,

05:20the Facebook page,

05:21our page,

05:22Commission on Population Development Facebook page,

05:24for questions that you can't ask about family planning,

05:27and sex, you can ask there.

05:30What advice do you have for young people

05:33who are not yet married

05:35and can get married in the future

05:38to have the right number of children?

05:44So, in adolescent pregnancy,

05:47the number increases from 136,000 to more than 150,000.

05:56So, we want our young people to protect themselves.

06:03We really want our behavior to be protective for them.

06:09For our parents,

06:12we ask them to educate their children about sexuality first.

06:21So, we want you to be the source,

06:24not your friends, not the media.

06:28Because it could start as early as teaching them

06:33about good touch, bad touch in kindergarten.

06:36Protective talk.

06:38Not just the touch, but the warning signs.

06:41If they are in danger,

06:43our young people should know about it.

06:45At the same time,

06:46we also ask our schools

06:49because there is a Department of Education policy

06:53where comprehensive sexuality education

06:56is integrated in the curriculum.

06:58But we really need to teach this.

07:01For our Senators,

07:03we are asking you, the Department of Health,

07:06to pass the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Bill

07:09which is very important and is in the Senate.

07:13What is your last message to our listeners and viewers?

07:18So, this Population and Development Week

07:21of November 23 to 29,

07:23our Filipinos are still asking you to do family planning

07:27for the quality of life.

07:29For those who are using traditional methods of family planning,

07:33don't do that because those methods are ineffective.

07:37The withdrawal calendar.

07:39What we really want is modern methods of family planning.

07:42Get a vasectomy.

07:43Adults,

07:44if you are friends, you should do family planning.

07:47Ladies, you can get a ligation.

07:50There are a lot of pills, injectables, implants.

07:54That is what we are still promoting.

07:56One more thing, Doc.

07:57Adolescent pregnancies are increasing.

08:00So, we also want our young people to protect themselves.

08:06Protect yourselves because that is the number one thing

08:09that we need protection for.

08:12Thank you very much, Ma'am,

08:14for giving us this information.

08:18I hope our fellow Filipinos learned something from this.

08:22Always remember,

08:23a well-planned family is victorious.

08:25Let's talk about family planning.

08:29I am Dr. Marwin Belio,

08:31your health advisor.

08:34See you next week, RSTs.
