(Child Labor)
Work that deprives children of their right to a normal
upbringing and their ability to contribute more to their development as individuals. It is also damaging to a child's physical and mental development. Everywhere you go in the Philippines, you'll see youngsters laboring on the streets for food or to survive in their daily lives because child labor is so pervasive. The majority of these youngsters are between the ages of 5 and 17. There are many reasons why child labor exists in the Philippines, including poverty, irresponsible parents, and a lack of access to education. Children in the film stated they wanted to go to school, while another said he wanted to be a pilot, so he works in mine to make money and save for his education, while other children work to feed their families. As a young person with full rights to enjoy his or her childhood stage. For this, the Philippines has chosen the Philippine Program Against Child Labor (PPACL) as the official national program to eliminate child labor. It has also ratified the Minimum Age Convention of 1973 (No. 138) and the Worst Forms of Child Labor Convention of 1999 (No. 182). The National Child Labor Committee (NCLC), which is chaired by the Department of Labor, has come together to achieve this goal. towards child labor victims' prevention, protection, and removal from dangerous and exploitative work, as well as their healing and reintegration if necessary. (Teen Age Pregnancy)
The issue of teen pregnancy in the Philippines stems from
a lack of sex education and the age of consent in the country. It is expected that one reserves oneself for marriage in a largely Catholic country; Talking about sexuality, sometimes known as "birds and bees talk," is not something that Filipino children and teenagers are used to hearing from their parents. The fear of "discussing sex" leads to a shortage of high-quality material in sexual education topics. The Reproductive Health and Responsible Parenthood Act of 2012, which enacted sex education curriculums in schools, was just passed about 7 or 8 years ago (RH Act). However, because these workshops are still in their infancy and are rarely necessary, many Filipinos are still unaware of the proper use of contraceptives and, as a result, how to have safe sex. Because the country's morals are mainly Catholic-based, discussing contraception and abortion is hampered because it contradicts Catholic doctrines. Isn't it past time for us to modernize and get rid of the conservative possessions? (Drug Addiction)
Affecting society at all socio-economic levels and
demographics, drug addiction has undoubtedly had a significant impact. Without a doubt, the issue of drug addiction is a major public health problem that leads to a slew of criminal acts, financial woes, and destroyed family and friend relationships. Addiction to drugs is a brain disorder that is typically complex and long-lasting. Excessive drug need, seeking, and usage are the hallmarks of this disorder. Constant drug usage causes brain alterations that lead to addiction. In the film, young people are prone to become involved with drug addiction, and the government has instituted the drug war. Since President Rodrigo Duterte took office on June 30, 2016, thousands of people have been killed in the Philippines as a result of his "war on drugs." From July 2016 to December 2018, NGOs representing children's rights in the Philippines estimated that 101 children under the age of 18 had been killed as a result of anti-drug raids, either intentionally or inadvertently, as a result of "collateral damage," as authorities have referred to it, as "collateral damage." In 2019 and 2020, more children's fatalities have been reported in the media. Is it all worth it in the end? Yes, without a doubt. Duterte justified his anti-drug campaign, claiming it was necessary to safeguard the country from the scourge of illegal drugs.To protect Filipinos, especially youth, Duterte stated in an address in Dapa, Siargao during the opening of a sports complex and bridge system that he is simply following his commitment to end drug abuse.He stated, "I did it because I wanted to secure your children's future and their future. Hindi akin iyan. Kayong lahat ng taong Pilipino. It was for the welfare of the Filipino people," Duterte remarked.
