Is The Age Of Consent (12) Too Low In The Philippines? | ASIAN BOSS

Did you know that the age of consent in the Philippines is 12, which makes it the lowest in Asia? But how do ordinary Filipinos feel about this? We hit the streets of Manila to find out.

[@bukonut]

It's a product of colonialism. The Spanish loanwords was a result of 300 year rule Spanish colonization. The Americans would later colonized the country after the Philippine-American war. During the US colonial rule, the Americans mandated English as the country's official language. This resulted to the country's education system that requires Filipinos to speak English more than their native tongue which is why their language has now evolved into code-switching. Native languages such as Tagalog are no longer develop in its full potential because of the massive impact of colonization of Spain and its colonial successor USA.

[@aliciapaglinawan6086]

[@arxissky1819]

@Sinag Sarita Carriedo It is not a new law.. That age of consent is existing even before age of criminal liability is changed to 12. Age of consents means that when you reach that age.. Sex with consent does not count as statutory rape. Meaning having sex below that age (Which is 12 in the Philippines) is considered as statutory rape and you will be imprisoned for doing so. THAT is why right now in the senate, they are digging this thing up and I think they want to change it to 18. 12 being the age of consent. 18 being the legal age. I know it is insane but the law has been around for decades and not a lot of people knows about it. In society it's 18 but in the law it's 12. Just wait. I think they are going to pass a law increasing it from 12 to 18 making those pedophiles that have sex with 17 and below to be imprisoned. 12 being the age of consent is also the reason why 12 years old moms can't do anything with the one who impregnated them. I've known real 12 and 13 years old kids who are now mothers. Their partners are free because the law allows it.

[@leepenguinie1214]

We've been colonized by Spain, Japan and America. In the spain colonization era, the Spanish people made our ancestors speak only in Spanish so that's why you can hear some spanish words when we talk. And we were colonized by British people but not a lot of people knew about this because there are almost no record about it. We were colonized by Japan where we also adapted some of their words. And we were colonized by America after defeating Japan. In which after, they thought Filipinos about education. So basically, the reason why our language is kind of unique is due to years and years of colonization.

Though 12 to me sounds a bit too young i’d probably have sex at that age if i had a partner at that time but i didn’t have anyone. (In my country we’re very educated on sex and it is not considered taboo. Parents would rather us talk about it and ask for protection/go to a gynecologist before it happens than to make us hide it and get pregnant at a young age.)

"I think it has nothing to do with our religion" i have to disagree with this one. The major religions in our country consider sex (especially premarital) as taboo and because of that people in our country are scared to talk to about sex, let alone educate the population regarding safe sex and the like (especially teenagers). Other countries have lower cases of teenage pregnancy because of the sexual education that they receive at a young age in the household, in school, etc.

Coming from a very strict Filipino family, I can confirm this. Filipino parents absolutely dislike the topic of sex-related topics. This of course comes from my personal experience. edit: Although when my mother snooped through my phone and found my greatest heirloom treasure (i.e. hentai), she just looked at me straight in the eye and said: "What are these? Why do you have naked Naruto characters on your phone?" (because she thinks that "Naruto" is every anime in existence) as she giggled with clear confusion from her eyes. Embarrassed, I replied "Uhh, my friends at school shared those pictures with me that's all" which she obviously knew that I was lying. After that incident, whenever she comes home from abroad, she would always buy anime related things that I don't even know which anime they're from. So moral of the story; *I want to die.*

It’s always so fascinating to listen to interviews from the Philippines. The language is very unique in how much it borrows from English and Spanish. People will speak one sentence in Tagalog, then a sentence completely in English, and then go back to Tagalog. I just love hearing it it’s so cool!

That happens everywhere in the world. I really dont understand why people are so mind blown about this about the PH. Every country in the world that shares boundaries with another one has this type of linguistic mode; they mix 2 languages. For ex. German- french, italian-french, spanish- portuguese, etc. India mixes with English. Spanish-english between Mexico and the US. French-english. In this video its just Tagalog-English and people go mind-blown. I dont understand.

5:30 what she said is so accurate. I'm not saying that u shouldn't be proud that u graduated with a degree even if u had a child. That it didn't hinder them to reach their goals which is to graduate in college. I'm not offending anyone but teenage pregnancy is a kind of issue that u shouldn't be proud of. Yes let's say that u finished ur studies despite being a mom but do u really need to flaunt it on social media? I know that we have a freedom when it comes to voicing our opinion but it has a thin line where u shouldn't cross. Yeah maybe they posted it on socmed to encourage others that teenage pregnancy is not a hindrance but many of them are just using it as an excuse to justify their actions.

They're talking about the age of consent. A 16 year old has the sufficient mental capacity to differentiate rape from consensual sex, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's the optimal time to have children. I disagree with 12 being the age of consent in the Philippines, but 21+ is really too old.

[@heythere160]

Do you Filipinos say "po" at the end of some sentences? The Chileans do as well lol

[@Xynic48]

It's to make the sentence sound more polite. Usually used when speaking to someone older than you. Most of the time it's added in the end but sometimes it's in the middle.

[@heythere160]

@@Xynic48 Right! Thanks for that. In Chilean Spanish, as I said, they also use "po". Generally, you will find it at the end of the sentence as well. Historically, it comes from "pues". And you could say that it is equivalent to the English "you know" expression.

[@JanSuing]

We use "opo" and "po" as a sign of respect. "Opo" is a polite way of saying "yes". "Po" is used at the end or even mid-sentence. For example, if I'm talking to a friend, I'll just say "Hindi pa ako kumain" or "I haven't eaten yet." But if I'm talking to someone older like a grandparent, or maybe a boss, I'd say, "Hindi pa po ako kumain." We also have "pues" in Filipino but it is spelled as "pwes" and it is found at the beginning of the sentence. Based on our usage, it can be translated to "if that's the case...". It is usually used in an aggressive manner. For example, "Pwes, pagsisisihan mo 'to!" In English, "You're going to regret this!" Using "pwes" adds more aggression to the sentence.

[@Uswhatot-z1p]

"po","opo","ho" and "oho" is a sign of respect especially if your talking to older people,

[@keziahp]

"Po" is one of the Tagalog particles to make a statement polite. It takes a particular position in a sentence especially when there are more Tagalog particles in the sentence. So it's not always at the end of the sentence.
