Angara says ‘inappropriate’ sex education concepts won’t be taught amid alarm over ‘perils’ of CSE

Quick Summary:

AMID warnings that comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) being pushed in a pending bill on teen pregnancies would "hyper-sexualize” children at a very young age, Education Secretary Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara on Tuesday brushed aside worries of parents and some concerned groups on CSE and assured the public that “inappropriate” concepts will not be taught in schools.

Angara gave the assurance following a video of Project Dalisay circulated on social media on how Senate Bill (SB)1979 or the Prevention of Adolescent Pregnancies Bill, will endanger Filipino school children, once passed.

We are not opposed to education on health and well-being, but we urge that such education be conducted in a manner that respects the values of Filipino families and protects the integrity of the Christian and Islamic faiths,” the group said.
