Trigger warning: Sexual violence against girls

At the first hearing this 20th Congress of the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (APP) Bill, the Commission on Population and Development presented data showing an inconvenient truth:

Most pregnancies among girls under 15 (the age group where cases of adolescent pregnancies are increasing) are likely the result of statutory r**e, where older men take advantage of the significant power difference in age, maturity, and authority.

There are also over a thousand cases where the father's age was not declared, which raises serious concerns about unreported sexual violence.

The APP Bill directly addresses this reality. It recognizes that many adolescent pregnancies are rooted in gender-based violence and responds with concrete strategies:

- Strengthening our child protection systems
- Providing comprehensive adolescent sexuality education, which teaches about consent and protection against GBV

PLCPD and the Child Rights Network (CRN) Philippines have long pushed for laws that protect children, including RA 11648, the law that raised the age to determine statutory r**e from below 12 to below 16 years old, and RA 11596, the Prohibition of Child Marriage Act.

But these cases persist despite existing laws. Laws that penalize abuse after it happens are not enough.

The APP Bill complements these measures already passed through the help of PLCPD and CRN by strengthening prevention. It ensures that children are protected before harm occurs and reduces the conditions that allow abuse to happen in the first place.

There should be no confusion: the APP Bill is a child protection measure.

𝗕𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗲, 𝗠𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗮. 💜

Every girl has the right to accurate information, access to essential health services, and a safe, supportive environment where she can grow and thrive.
The Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC) reaffirms its commitment to uphold and promote the rights and well-being of every girl, in line with its mandate to coordinate and strengthen policies and programs for children’s protection and development.

When girls are informed and empowered, they are more likely to stay in school, make healthy decisions, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Investing in girls today leads to stronger families, healthier communities, and a more equitable society.
This Girl Child Week 2026, let us continue working together to protect, empower, and uplift every girl—ensuring that no one is left behind.
