Sereno: These values are alien to Filipinos!
Also Sereno: We love everything Singapore! #cse

@PMAP1956 Do you have any experts on the topic or will they all be religious speakers?

@raymond_naguit @SerenoMeilou It's sad to see powerful women choose make life harder for poor women.

The goal of CSE, which will be integrated at all levels of education, is to “develop” the skills of young people for them to “make informed decisions.” https://t.co/m3HxE7z1aa

We can't leave our health to chance. At Roots of Health, we improve access to credible sexual and reproductive health info and non-judgmental contraceptive services so women and youth can plan their families, reduce maternal deaths, and help families thrive #WorldContraceptionDay

Actually the biggest barrier to effectively addressing HIV in the Philippines is adult discomfort with young people being sexual beings. Lack of funds and information stem from that. #HIV https://t.co/NG7JUSYiOE

Another group, Roots of Health, cites a UP study that found that 30% of people aged 15 to 24 still believe "it is the wife’s duty to have sex with her husband whenever he wants it," and calls for the urgent need to teach people about the importance of consent. https://t.co/d2w6AknkhI

@deped @SenRobinhood @DepEd_PH August is Intl Youth Month. No one should be coerced into sex, whether in a long-term relationship or not. Let’s work together to guide young people in making informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health and rights, so they can develop and thrive. #(10/10)

Atty. Lorna Kapunan was right to enlighten @SenRobinhood on marital #consent during the recent Senate hearing on sexual harassment, stressing that both spouses have the right to refuse sex, even within marriage. (1)

[Roots of Health @rootsofhealth]

@deped The recent controversy around @SenRobinhood is a wake-up call. We all have a responsibility to understand and promote the importance of #consent, especially to our children. We call on the PH gov, particularly @DepEd_PH, to fulfill its mandate and roll out CSE now. (9)
