NewsTranscript
00:00The copy of the Anti-Teen Pregnancy Bill has already been sent to the Office of the President.
00:06The controversial provision that was passed by several groups has already been removed.
00:10President Marcos said that he will read the resolution first.
00:14Witness, Mackie Polido.
00:20Since 2017, during the 17th Congress,
00:24the Anti-Teen Pregnancy Bill has been tried by a law.
00:27It has already been read by the 19th Congress.
00:30But in the Senate, the interpolation in the plenary is not yet finalized
00:34since August 2024.
00:36President Bongbong Marcos said first that he will veto the Senate Bill 1979
00:41or Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy Act of 2023
00:45even if it is not amended by a provision that he will be in charge of.
00:49In this original version, nothing is mentioned about the masturbation or sexual feelings of children.
00:55But for the contrasts in the bill,
00:57this is the meaning of the term Guided by International Standard
01:01that is written in the bill.
01:03That's why in the rejected Substitute Bill of Senator Arisa Ontiveros,
01:07this term has already been removed.
01:09It is also clear that only 10 years and above will be given a comprehensive sexuality education
01:14and 16 years and above will be able to access contraceptives
01:18if there is parental consent.
01:20The real culprit is the ones who made the fake news against the bill.
01:27The real culprits are the ones who spread disinformation and are afraid.
01:33The Senate has already sent a copy of the Substitute Bill to the Office of the President.
01:37According to the President, he needs to read it first.
01:40Ontiveros believes that the discussion on the Substitute Bill should remain in the plenary.
01:45Even seven senators rejected their signatures in the committee report.
01:49The committee report has already been reported to the plenary that it is already sponsored
01:54and we are just waiting for the amendments to be interpolated and proposed.
01:59Only five sessions are left before the Senate recesses.
02:02That's why the Philippine Legislators Committee on Population and Development is concerned
02:07if this cannot be passed before the 19th Congress,
02:11the bill will be back to scratch.
02:14If there are so many senators, why didn't they ask it since August that this is illegal?
02:22According to the former Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno,
02:25the ones who are leading Project Alisay against the anti-teen pregnancy bill,
02:29they will study it first.
02:31Even if the international standards of the Substitute Bill were removed,
02:35it still exists in other legislations.
