MANILA, Philippines –President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has reaffirmed his stance on Senate Bill 1979, a controversial proposal aimed at amending the country’s sex education curriculum in schools.

Despite recent revisions to the bill, the president remains resolute in his decision to veto the legislation, emphasizing the need for thorough review before making any final determination.

The bill seeks to introduce enhanced sex education, expanding on topics such as sexual health, relationships, and consent.

Proponents of the bill argue that it is essential to equip students with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions regarding their sexual health.

Advocates believe that comprehensive education on these topics can foster responsible decision-making and help prevent issues such as teenage pregnancies and sexual abuse.

However, critics of the bill raise concerns over its appropriateness and potential impact on young students.

Some argue that the bill’s proposed curriculum may be too detailed and could conflict with cultural and social norms surrounding discussions of sexuality.

The revisions made to Senate Bill 1979, aimed at addressing some of these concerns, have not been enough to sway the president’s position.

Marcos has maintained that a careful review of the substitute bill is crucial to ensuring that any potential reforms align with the values and priorities of Filipino society.
