00:00As we continue to discuss the actions and programs of the NAPC

00:04and the departments and branches of the Government Against Poverty,

00:08let's learn about the steps that the Commission on Population and Development is taking

00:13to address the issue of poverty in the country.

00:17Here at the National Anti-Poverty Commission Action Against Poverty.

00:21We will now talk to Ms. Mai Kiray, the Knowledge Management and Communications Division Chief

00:37of the Commission on Population and Development,

00:39to discuss how agencies and partners of the government are converging

00:43on the issue of poverty in our country.

00:48And to start our discussion, good morning Ms. Mai.

00:51Good morning.

00:52Happy family, good morning Ms. Diane.

00:54Happy family, that's a good greeting.

00:57Alright, let's talk about the population growth rate and the poverty incidence rate.

01:04What are the data and what are the interventions of the CPD regarding the ratio of these two numbers?

01:11Okay, so for now, the number of Filipinos who are being given birth is 1.9.

01:18So it means that less than two children are being given birth in the current number of Filipinos.

01:24So it's a good thing because we can see that somehow they are achieving

01:30what they want as a child and when to have them.

01:33However, this is below the replacement level.

01:36So the replacement level is 2.1.

01:38It means that to replace the mother and father in the population,

01:43there should be two children of Filipinos.

01:46But at the same time, what we really need to pay attention to is that even if the population decreases,

01:53the question is, are these populations educated, empowered, healthy, and employed?

02:02Because the working age in our population is now 63.6%.

02:08The working age is 15 to 64, which is more than the children and the elderly.

02:19So the trend of our population is decreasing.

02:23And I think it's a good thing that the issue of poverty is being discussed

02:27because the number of people who are sharing available resources in our country is decreasing.

02:33Now the question is, as you said, is this population educated, empowered?

02:37What does the data say about this, Paula?

02:39Okay, so that's it.

02:41What we really need to pay attention to is the women.

02:45Because the women in the population have a higher completion rate in terms of college education than men.

02:54That's the only question.

02:55The employment rate of women is lower.

02:59But we know that from the research,

03:02if the women are empowered, they are educated, they are employed,

03:07they have more opportunities to choose.

03:11And at the same time, their economic participation is really important.

03:17If the economic participation of women is equal to that of men, what does the data say?

03:23The data says that the economic participation of women is lower than that of men,

03:29even though the education level of women is higher than that of men.

03:34What could be the reason?

03:35It could be that they got pregnant.

03:38It could be, this is qualitative data,

03:41it could be that they got pregnant and then went to the house.

03:44That's why they are no longer employed, they no longer have economic participation.

03:48Those could be the reasons.

03:51Let's talk about the data on marriage and also with that live-in set-up

03:57that I understand is also popular in our country.

04:01What is our data in terms of marriage and in terms of living?

04:04What are the implications also with the set-up as well?

04:07Okay, so it quadrupled from 1993 to 2022,

04:12the number of Filipinos living together.

04:15So in our qualitative study on nuptiality and cohabitation,

04:20we can see in the live-in that there are more people getting pregnant

04:25in the live-in set-up than those in the formal union.

04:29So it means that more people are getting pregnant out of wedlock.

04:32So what are the implications of this?

04:34If that's the case, we want protection.

04:39We hope that the children, even though they are born out of wedlock,

04:42they are still protected, they have equal rights.

04:46The same goes for the women in that set-up.

04:48We want them to be protected against abuse.

04:51We really want their social protection to be there.

04:55Now the issue of teenage pregnancy, we cannot ignore that.

04:59What do our numbers say about teenage pregnancy?

05:04And what are our interventions to address this problem?

05:08So 10 to 14, that's what's increasing.

05:12More than 3,000 in 2023.

05:15It's alarming because it's 10 to 14.

05:17What are we doing when we're 10 to 14?

05:19We should be in school.

05:21Children should not bear children.

05:24But the data shows that that is increasing, 10 to 14.

05:28So we really need to have interventions about it.

05:31Actually, Ms. Diane, I'll take this opportunity to promote malayaako.ph.

05:37There's a website and a Facebook account.

05:39For questions that you can't ask, you can go there.

05:44There's a lot of information there about informed consent, about protecting yourselves,

05:48about first sex, are you ready for sex?

05:52We have questions like that.

05:54So there's a lot of good information about it.

05:58Because when it comes to poverty,

06:01the early births are highly affected by it.

06:03It's true.

06:04The early births are affected by it.

06:07And what about the parents?

06:09What is our data on this?

06:10We can also see that there's an increase before the pandemic and a decrease after the pandemic.

06:18Because 70% of adolescent pregnancies aged 10 to 19 are from fathers 20 years old and over.

06:28So from there, we can see that those who give birth to our children are older.

06:34If that's the case, there are already unequal power relations.

06:37So we need to protect them about it.

06:39Grooming.

06:41Because if we look at the single-year data,

06:43there are some who are pregnant with our teenage girls who are senior citizens.

06:49So there, our data is a bit alarming.

06:51Now with the concept of convergence,

06:53how do different agencies of the government help your agency

06:58to implement programs that are targeted to poverty?

07:02There.

07:02Because poverty is one of our priorities in the government,

07:08we really have convergence with government agencies.

07:12So in our commission, we are governed by a board of commissioners.

07:17So you can see from there that there are many agencies that should be targeted to poverty and our population.

07:24We also have Executive Order 141 Technical Working Group

07:27where the adolescent pregnancy is really an issue that we are targeting.

07:32There are also many agencies of the government

07:35to address the issue of adolescent pregnancy,

07:37the increasing in 10 to 14,

07:39and to address all of our issues in the population, including poverty.

07:45Now in terms of celebrating women,

07:47because National Women's Month,

07:49Happy National Women's Month to you.

07:51And I learned that you were promoted recently in your position.

07:55It's worthy of celebration when you are in a key leadership role for women.

08:00So congratulations.

08:01So what are the interventions when it comes to the inclusivity of women when it comes to CPT programs?

08:11There.

08:12So now, we are really ensuring that women have the family planning methods that they want,

08:21when they want it.

08:22What we really want is that women of reproductive age, age 15 to 49,

08:29have a lot of family planning methods that they will be able to access.

08:34So there are a lot of family planning methods available for women and men.

08:38So that's one thing.

08:39Aside from women, National Women's Month,

08:41the inclusivity of women, we also want men.

08:44Yes.

08:45Right?

08:46So we have men who are responsible for their families or friends.

08:51So we really want men to have a mastectomy,

08:54to have a condom because condom and mastectomy users are low.

09:00But at the same time, women are the ones who do the family planning.

09:04Pills, injectables, and implants are the highest growth.

09:09So that's it.

09:10Well, we learned a lot from this interview with you.

09:14Of course, thank you very much.

09:15And again, happy National Women's Month.

09:17We were able to interview Ms. Mai.

09:19And thank you for your visit.

09:21And thank you for the programs that you are doing

09:24to address the issue of poverty in our country.

09:27That's all we talked about for now, KRS-P.

09:29We are inviting you to tune in to our program

09:32every Thursday and also every Tuesday here on Action Against Poverty.

09:39So join me, Ms. Mai,

09:41and let's join together to Action Against Poverty!
