00:00The Department of Health is in charge of increasing the number of minors in the Philippines who get pregnant early.

00:09One of the visible reasons is the exposure of children to the internet.

00:14Oscar Oida is a witness.

00:20The situation of child pregnancy in the country is alarming.

00:24According to Health Secretary Ted Herbosa, for every 100,000, 15 years in the country, 59 of them are pregnant.

00:33According to the data of the Department of Health in 2022, that's more than 44 for every 100,000 in 2021.

00:42Child pregnancy is one of the leading causes of death of a pregnant woman in the country.

00:49Because they are not prenatal, they are at high risk for what we call eclampsia and pre-eclampsia and hemorrhage at childbirth.

00:57So if we can control that, we will actually be able to decrease maternal mortality.

01:02Some of the visible factors of child pregnancy are the exposure of children to the internet.

01:09What we've discovered is the internet is a big influence on sexual behavior of our teens.

01:16And then there's peer pressure.

01:17Then the socioeconomic classes.

01:19Many in the lower socioeconomic class want to get married and escape from the poverty of their family.

01:26For now, they are working with the Department of Education to strengthen education in family planning and responsible parenthood.

01:35I've actually met with Secretary Sunny Angara.

01:38This is one of the first things we talked about, how to be able to help stop the rise.

01:46Childhood pregnancy is also related to HIV among children because we're getting HIV cases at 15 years old.
