let me explain it further because i'm a Filipino. Our culture is heavily influenced by mainstream media. as you see in the videos, even the poor have TV's inside their huts. TV shows are mainly about family and love teams and love stories. This is why our girls live hoping to find true love. I know that sounds funny but that is what's actually happening. Men do too. Although, men can move on pretty easy and leave an impregnated single mother without batting an eye. It's not sexual assault. Just un-informed. Religion plays a big role too.

When RH Law was during its battle for being a legislation, I remember going to church and always hearing the priests using the homily just to ingrain that RH, contraception etc are sins. And abstinence is the only way. It's so appalling what super fixation on religion, and misguided politics can do to a nation.

Because its a fake documentary. Age being 12 might be correct in some way, but the trick those documentary makers do is to leave out information. The age 12 is only okay if the partner is only a few years older. So girl 12, boy 14 is okay but a older boy of course not. So to speak, the Age of Consent is in reality 18, only with expections that younger couples can have a love life without being criminalized. So, in fact, it is a normal consent law as in many other countries including western countries, over the world. Its just a documentary trying to make countries worse than they are, from the goverment point of view. The real problem is the catholic church, without them, the situation would be so much different in this country. And of course the economic situation for some people.

I feel sorry to those children/teenagers who got pregnant... as a Filipino teenager I'm very thankful of where I am now.... hopefully they will fight and take this kind of responsibility at this early age....

[@asaamv]

Aure Riza yes wat to do right?

[@vsgP7117]

Aure Riza no president can do anything about it; Filipinos are Malibogs. They copy everything they see on Films. The way the houses if the poor families is not suitable; they All sleep in one room, unlike the Rich Filipinos every member of the family have their own bedroom so there is privacy for the parents. The poor have no sense of responsibility, they dont plan for the family; they live on Come what may' or 'bahala na dyan'. These young girls become Baby Factories even if they know they have no means to support their children its all 'come what may'. This happen from generation to generation because there is no Law that forbid them to multiply like vermin. Schools should focus on this problem by teaching self respect, self assertiveness and morality. Politicians turn a blind eye about it. Every big city have squatter areas. If you go to Tondo squatter area its like a competition to have the biggest family. Front Row 22 documentary will show you a family with 22 children and the mother is under 50, she could still get pregnant. Why cant the Senate enforce a Law for parents to be obliged to put their female children as young as 11 to be on the pill like in Sweden to avoid unwanted teenage pregnancies. When will the govt wake up and have conscience to focus on this Nation's problem???

I am Catholic and grew up in the United States. I did use contraceptives to help plan my family, but would never consider an abortion as a way to plan my family. I am fortunate that I never had to make a decision in a case of rape, or a severe medical reason to terminate a pregnancy. I can tell that this video is from quite a while ago. I hope that some of this has been dealt with.

Someone needs to unite these poor *** people and get them moving because I can see these people being in the same state as they are now for years to come.

Honestly, it's not just about religion (and not just Catholicism). The problem is the lack of education, the irresponsability of the (too young) parents who don't raise their children properly and don't put education/children's future first, which leads to a never-ending cycle of poverty... religion is just an excuse.

[@kyladizon2337]

@Emily Barclay yeah, cause we all know everybody follows and respect what the church says..... and they're also for abstinence so....how come they get pregnant? So for me, it's still up to the government to change things. If those kids were well educated (especially girls) they would be able to make the right choice whether the church approves of it or not.

[@lampyrisnoctiluca9904]

I am from Croatia. The church is trying its best to make abortion illegal here. They are so disconnected from the real problems of our society... They are moralizing to people about the greed of the young who are emigrating in the foreign lands. When the priest finish their Sunday speeches they drive away from the community of those people in expensive cars. We are not leaving because of greed, but because of the lack of perspective we have here. We are watching the new churches being built in the vanishing villages, while the open minefields lie around forgotten. I think the minefields are waiting for abortion to be banned to. They are waiting for the unwanted, unaborted and then unsupervised children to play there. Good thing that the church they would be Christened in will have enough space to accommodate the entire local community in the luxurious manner... I think that I should leave. I can't stand the life in the decaying society. I also feel rejected by it.

As a person living in that country, I'm afraid some people are a bit behind when it comes to morals and proper mindset. Almost everyone here still practices stupid beliefs such as being gay is bad or men/women should act what their gender should, which is just horrible. The country consists of mostly catholics... Catholics who still practices these horrible beliefs and focuses on this mindset. That's why most of the lgbtq members here are afraid to come out of the closet or that men can't even wear pink, a color that's stereotypically for women. I'm a Christian but I'm only forced to being one, my family is VERY religious and I'm not old enough to make my own decisions. There's so many messed up things in the bible we read that people blindly follow. I'd want to leave this religion once I got the right age to (18+, in my opinion is the proper age of consent) I feel bad for these children, they don't know what they're doing and they're the most vulnerable to manipulation and abuse. I'd want to do something about this one day, but for now I'll study. Have a lovely day, person! ( ╹▽╹ )
