00:00President Bongbong Marcos was charged with some provisions of Senate Bill 1979 or the Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy Act of 2023.
00:09Because of that, he will immediately veto it if this version is passed.
00:14Senator Riza Oliveros has the right to appeal.
00:17Tomorrow in Mianda, the so-called provision of the President will be denied the right to appeal.
00:23Ivan Mayrina is on the case.
00:25If this is to stop the multiplication of children,
00:31President Bongbong Marcos has no provision in the comprehensive sexuality education or CSE
00:37that is part of Senate Bill 1979 or the Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy Act of 2023.
00:43It is very important for the youth to know their body
00:46and to explain the bad effect of breastfeeding and breastfeeding when they are still young.
00:52However, he read something in the bill that he didn't like.
00:57Over the weekend, I finally read in detail Senate Bill 1979.
01:07And I was shocked and I was appalled by some of the elements of that.
01:17Because this is all this woke that they are trying to bring into our system.
01:25You will teach four-year-olds how to masturbate.
01:30That every child has the right to try different sexualities.
01:37This is ridiculous. It is abhorrent.
01:42It is a travesty of what sexual and sex education should be to the children.
01:48We continue to explain to Malacanang where the President read the provisions he mentioned.
01:53Because based on the copy of Senate Bill 1979, there are no such provisions.
01:57According to this act by Senator Rizal Tiveros.
02:01Mr. President, with all due respect, it is clear that there is nothing in the bill even the word masturbation.
02:09There is also no such thing as try different sexualities.
02:12CSE contains the very same things you support.
02:16Teaching kids anatomy, the consequences of early pregnancy.
02:20That is what we are also advocating.
02:23The President's orders, just like the previous provisions in the bill.
02:28Just like the former Supreme Court Chief Justice Lourdes Sereno and the group Project Dalisay.
02:33In section 6 of the controversial bill, comprehensive sexuality is included in the school curriculum.
02:39Under the guidance of DepEd and international standards.
02:43Regarding Sereno, there are only two international standards in sexuality education.
02:48The WHO and UNESCO.
02:50There are two international documents.
02:53When you read those international documents, what are the basic principles?
02:59That sexuality education shall be given to children as early and as comprehensively as possible.
03:10What are the other principles there?
03:14The children have the right to sex.
03:18As you can see in UNESCO, the children are being taught how to negotiate.
03:26And the decision when, how and with whom to have sex.
03:30That was the first thing that Sereno said.
03:34The CSE is based on the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Law.
03:40He also said that there is no need to follow the rules of other countries.
03:44The President promised to veto the law if it is passed.
03:48And in this version, Tugonion Tiveros.
03:51I am willing to accept amendments to refine the bill so we can steer it to passage.
03:57For GMA Integrated News, Ivan Mayrena for 24 Hours.
