Based on the data from DOH 11, the number of women aged 10 to 19 years old who delivered with livebirths, abortion, and stillbirth in the Davao Region were 15,039 in 2016; 15,643 in 2017; 15,703 in 2018; and 14,446 in 2019. “There is a slight decrease in the prevalence of teenage pregnancy from 2020 data. This is unofficial data from RHIS and this data is recorded sa atoang barangay health stations and rural health units. Dili ni comprehensive na data kay naay uban wala niduol sa miski asa na oposina unya nanganak na diay sa ilang balay ug wala pud nagpa-check up so wala na record,” she said.
In EO 141, Duterte said the state acknowledges that what causes teen pregnancy are “endangered patterns of discrimination, deep-seated norms and attitudes that normalize and justify violence against women and children, lack of information and education, and the vulnerability and exclusion of women and children living in remote and rural areas.”
