The Philippines has recorded a 7% increase in births among girls aged 15 and below in 2019, up from the figure on teenage pregnancies in 2018, the Commission on Population and Development said over the weekend.
This is the ninth consecutive year that the country has reported a rise in teenage pregnancies, PopCom warned. It added that one in three births among minors occurred in the three regions of Calabarzon with 8,008, National Capital Region with 7,546 and Central Luzon with 7,523 births. Population and Development Undersecretary Juan Antonio Perez III said they are coordinating with the Department of Social Welfare and Development for the teenage pregnancy reduction program as part of the government's roadmap to reduce poverty.
