NewsTranscript
00:00President Bongbong Marcos vetoed the Senate Bill 1979 or Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy Act of 2023
00:08even though a provision that he is in charge of was not amended.
00:12However, Senator Arisa Ontiveros denied the provision that the President is referring to.
00:18Witness, Ivan Mayrena.
00:23If this is to stop the multiplication of children,
00:26President Bongbong Marcos vetoed the Senate Bill 1979 or Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy Act of 2023.
00:38It is very important for the youth to know their bodies
00:41and to explain the negative effects of breastfeeding and breastfeeding at a young age.
00:47However, he read something in the bill that he did not like.
00:52I was shocked and I was appalled.
00:56By some of the elements of that.
01:01Because this is all this woke that they are trying to bring into our system.
01:09You will teach four-year-olds how to masturbate.
01:15That every child has the right to try different sexualities.
01:23This is ridiculous.
01:25It is abhorrent.
01:27It is a travesty of what sexual and sex education should be to the children.
01:33If this bill is passed in that form,
01:37I guarantee all parents, teachers and children, I will immediately veto it.
01:45We continue to clarify where the President read the provisions he mentioned.
01:50Because based on the copy of Senate Bill 1979, there are no such provisions.
01:54According to this document, Senator Rizonte Veros.
01:57Mr. President, with all due respect, it is clear that there is nothing in the bill, even the word masturbation.
02:05There is also no try different sexualities.
02:08CSE contains the very same things you support.
02:12Teaching kids anatomy, the consequences of early pregnancy.
02:16That is what we are also advocating.
02:19The President's teachings, like the earlier provisions of the Panukala,
02:24like the former Supreme Court Chief Justice Lourdes Sereno,
02:27and the Project Dalisay group.
02:29In Section 6 of the controversial Panukala,
02:32comprehensive sexuality is included in the school curriculum,
02:35under the guidance of the DepEd and international standards.
02:39Regarding Sereno, there are only two international standards in sexuality education,
02:44the WHO and UNESCO.
02:46There are two international documents, and when you read those international documents,
02:52what are the basic principles?
02:54That sexuality education shall be given to children as early and as comprehensively as possible.
03:07What are the other principles?
03:10The children have the right to sex.
03:13And in UNESCO, you will see that the children are taught how to negotiate,
03:22and the decision when, how, and with whom to have sex.
03:26This was first suggested by Veros, what Sereno said.
03:30According to the CSE, the basis of the Panukala is the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Law,
03:36and there is no need to follow the rules of other countries.
03:40The President promised to veto the law as soon as it is passed,
03:44and in this version, Veros agreed.
03:47I am willing to accept amendments to refine the bill so we can steer it to passage.
03:53For GMA Integrated News, I am Ivan Mayrena, your witness.
03:58Makapuso, maging una sa saksi!
