00:00The so-called cause for concern of the Philippine Statistics Authority is the increasing number of youths who are born.
00:09According to the PSA and the University of the Philippines Population Institute,
00:133,343 babies were born in the ages of 14 and below in 2023, more than double compared to the previous decade.
00:24According to UPI, Professor Maria Medea Cabamalan,
00:28this is a matter of concern because women should not have children at that age.
00:33The issue of sexual consent should also be discussed,
00:36especially this year with the average age gap of adolescents and their partners.

00:45In 2023, 25% of their babies will weigh less than 2.5 kilos.
