And I was shocked,\u201d President Marcos said in a media interview on the sidelines of his attendance at the launching of the Tesla Center Philippines in Taguig.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI was appalled by some elements of that. All this \u201cwoke\u201d that they are trying to bring into our system \u2026 That every child has the right to try different sexualities. This is ridiculous. It is abhorrent. It is a travesty of what sexual and sex education should be to the children,\u201d the President said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n President Marcos made clear he still believes in sex education and its importance, particularly in terms of teaching the youth the anatomy of the reproductive systems, the consequences of early pregnancy, and the prevalence of Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), among others.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cKailangan ituro lahat \u2018yan para alam nung mga Kabataan,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cPero \u2018yung mga isinama nila na mga \u2018woke\u2019 na absurdities are abhorrent to me,\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to the President, the bill is not yet passed but once it is, he guarantees parents, teachers, and children that he will immediately reject it.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIf this bill is passed in that form, I guarantee all parents, teachers, and children: I will immediately veto it,\u201d the president said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m a parent and I\u2019m a grandparent. So, I feel very strongly about this,\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PRESIDENT Ferdinand R.
