00:00The Department of Health is now in control of the number of people getting pregnant at an early age.

00:05That is included in the National Conference on Family Planning.

00:08We have on the spot, Oscar Oida. Oscar.

00:12Yes Raffy, the 2024 National Conference on Family Planning was held here in Pasig City at the beginning of the Department of Health.

00:21It was led by more than 600 family planning advocates to discuss ways to solve the problems related to family planning.

00:31For DOH Secretary Ted Herbosa, the biggest problem he sees is the increase in the number of childhood pregnancies in the country.

00:40According to DOH data, the number of 15-year-olds getting pregnant in the country is at 59 per 100,000.

00:49This is the number one cause of maternal mortality because it is not a prenatal checkup.

00:58They are the high-risk in so-called eclampsia and pre-eclampsia, hemorrhage and childbirth.

01:04This problem is also related to HIV because there are cases of HIV in children as young as 15 years old.

01:13If child pregnancy can be controlled, maternal mortality can also be controlled.

01:19Some of the factors Herbosa sees in the increase in child pregnancy are first, the exposure of children to the Internet.

01:26The Internet has a big influence on the sexual behavior of our teens.

01:31Second, the so-called peer pressure and third, the socioeconomic classes.

01:36The lower economic class wants to get married early to escape the poverty of their family.

01:45Currently, they are leading in the DepEd for babies to stop the increase in the number of child pregnancies

01:52through the replacement of family planning education.

01:56Raffy.

01:58Thank you very much Oscar Roida.
