Youngest case of early pregnancy in two 10-year-old girls registered in NCR, Calabarzon

Published February 10, 2021, 10:54 AM The Civil Registry Statistics of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) has revealed two registered live births from girls as young as 10 years old from the National Capital Region (NCR) and Region 4-A (Calabarzon), both of which have a relatively high population. (UNSPLASH / MANILA BULLETIN) The NCR recorded 369 cases of babies born to mothers aged 10 years to 14 years in 2018, but the figure went down by 6.5 percent to 345 registered cases in 2019. Cases involving girls aged 15 years to 19 years also decreased by 4.8 percent from 20,613 in 2018 to 19,614 in 2019. “Although (a) declining trend was observed in both age brackets, the case of a 10-year-old getting pregnant has sounded the alarm for all local government units to harmonize their efforts for stronger and better initiatives on adolescent reproductive health,” Commission on Population and Development (Popcom) – NCR Director Lydio Español Jr. said on Tuesday.
