00:00The Senate sent a copy of the Substitute Bill to the Office of the President for the Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy.
00:09It removed the provision that there was a controversial interpretation from the President and some lawmakers.
00:16First news, Macky Pulido.
00:19In 2017, during the 17th Congress, the Anti-Teen Pregnancy Bill was tried by a law.
00:29It was passed in the Senate of the 19th Congress.
00:32But in the Senate, the interpellation in the plenary has not been approved since August 2024.
00:38First, President Bongbong Marcos said that he will veto the Senate Bill 1979 or Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancy Act of 2023
00:47even if it is not amended by a provision that he will be in charge of.
00:51In this original version, nothing is mentioned about the masturbation or sexual feelings of children.
00:57But for the contracts in the Constitution, this is the meaning of the phrase
01:01Guided by International Standard that is written in the Constitution.
01:05Therefore, in Senator Arisa Ontiveros' rejected Substitute Bill, this phrase was removed.
01:11It is also clear that only 10 years old and above will be given a comprehensive sexuality education
01:16and only 16 years old and above will be able to access contraceptives if there is parental consent.
01:22The real scapegoat is those who made fake news against the bill.
01:29The real scapegoat is those who spread disinformation and threatened.
01:35The Senate has already sent a copy of the Substitute Bill to the Office of the President.
01:39According to the President, he needs to read this first.
01:42Ontiveros believes that the discussion on the Substitute Bill should remain in the plenary.
01:47Even seven senators rejected their signatures in the committee report.
01:51The committee report is already a report out in the plenary.
01:55It is already sponsored and we are just waiting for the amendments to be interpellated and proposed.
02:01Only five sessions are left before the Senate recesses.
02:05The Philippine Legislators Committee on Population and Development is asking for a review of the bill
02:10if it cannot be passed before the 19th Congress.
02:13The bill is back to scratch.
02:16If there are so many senators, why didn't they ask it since August when it was passed?
02:24According to the former Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno,
02:27she is the one leading Project Alisay against the Anti-Teen Pregnancy Bill.
02:31They will study this first.
02:33Even if the International Standards in the Substitute Bill is removed,
02:37it is still included in other bills.
02:40Here is the first news, Macky Pulido for GMA Integrated News.
03:03Thanks for watching.
