00:00The rising number of teenage fathers in the country is a disturbing trend.

00:04The situation highlights the urgent need for open discussions and effective support measures

00:10to help these young people overcome their challenges.

00:13This and more in tonight's National News Roundup by Floyd Brenz.

00:20The Department of Transportation or DOTR is promoting green and sustainable energy transport

00:26solutions to combat climate change and support the shift to renewable energy.

00:32Key initiatives include the Public Transport Modernization Program or PTMP, the Active

00:37Transport Program and partnerships with local government units for low-carbon urban transport.

00:45The DOTR is also advancing electric trains, sustainable aviation fuel, hybrid ferries

00:51and solar panels for airport terminals.

00:54The Electric Vehicle Industry Development Act aims to increase EV use and reduce fuel

00:59dependency.

01:00The DOTR is exploring incentives for transport cooperatives to adopt EVs working towards

01:06a greener public transport system.

01:10The number of teenage fathers in the Philippines is rising alarmingly with over 5,000 males

01:15aged 10 to 17 in 2018 and more than 8,000 in 2019.

01:21According to Mylene Marisol Quiray, Acting Division Chief at the Commission on Population,

01:26Quiray attributed this increase to young males' exposure to pornography through social media

01:32and a lack of open discussions about sex with parents.

01:36This trend is concerning as young men are expected to support their families economically.

01:41The pending Adolescence Pregnancy Bill in the Senate aims to address these issues.

01:47So, our tip to the Commission, it really should start as early as we can and as simple as

01:56we can.

01:57This is what I always mention in our interviews about this topic, just teaching them about

02:03good touch, bad touch.

02:05It's a sexuality education because at least our youth will not be abused.

02:11They know that if there is a touch that is not right, we need to teach them to protect

02:17themselves, protective behavior for them.

02:20Floyd Brens from the National TV Network for a new and better Philippines.
