00:00 The Commission on Population and Development will now decide on the number of female adolescents who are pregnant.
00:07 Based on the data obtained by the CPD in the Philippine Statistics Authority,
00:13 3,135 14-year-old women were born in 2022.
00:19 That's 35% higher than the 2,320 women who were born in the same age group in 2021.
00:26 Because of that, CPD Executive Director Lisa Grace Berzales is pushing for a law-enforcing Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Bill.
00:34 Under that, adolescents under 14 years of age will be allowed to use birth control and other reproductive health services
00:43 even if their parents do not allow them under certain conditions.
00:47 In September, the Commission approved the bill in the House of Representatives.
00:51 In its second reading, it is the counterpart bill to the Senate.
