Out of the more than 3,000 children born to mothers aged 10 to 14 years old in 2023, only 22 had fathers who were of the same age as their fathers.This, according to a former executive director of the Commission on Population and Development who indicated the need for comprehensive sexuality education among the young.
99% of the reports of births had someone older than 17 years old. Older than them,” Dr. Jeepy Perez said.He said the fathers were men in positions of power, economic control, a neighbor, or someone invited to the house. Perez said these are such incidents of abuse that must be addressed. “If you look at the entire year of 2023, all births to children in 2023 would be on the face of statutory rape. And the numbers are quite alarming,” Perez said.
