The head of the House Committee on Women and Gender Equality on Wednesday underscored the need to integrate comprehensive sexuality education in the academic curriculum to educate teenagers on healthy

and responsible sexuality.

“I think we really need to integrate that in our curriculum, a comprehensive sexuality education,” Acosta-Alba said in responding to questions about the rising teenage pregnancy cases in the Philippines. “They have to have a sexuality na safe, responsible and healthy and to really drum it up on them, especially about risky behaviors when you engage in early sex and how this could have a detrimental effect on their future,” the lawmaker stressed.
