Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world. Due to the nature of the virus, particularly how
it is transmitted, it has altered human behaviors, relations and lifestyles, and had profound impacts on
the economic, political and cultural landscapes of societies across the world. It has likewise exacerbated
poverty, discrimination and inequalities in many parts of the world, not only through how COVID-19
appears to be affecting poorer communities more than the rich, but also as a consequence of the
measures taken by states to control the spread of the virus, primarily by curtailing freedom of
movement through the imposition of community quarantine, lockdowns and curfews in many parts of
the world.

Higher education institutions (HEIs), both public and private, have also had to adjust to the new
situation where face-to-face interaction and mass gatherings are prohibited. From the confines of their
homes, teachers and administrators were put to the task of revising and adapting course syllabi and
requirements as they shifted to alternative or remote teaching modalities, both synchronous and
asynchronous. Where students and teachers had access to electronic devices and reliable Internet
connections, learning managements systems such as Google Classroom, forms and Google meet, and
applications like Google Hangouts, Zoom and Skype, were used. But where students had limited access
to computers or unreliable access to the Internet, teachers and students used smartphones to exchange
messages, notes and materials, through text messaging, e-mail, Facebook Messenger, and Twitter.
 Online learning is education that takes place over the Internet. It is often referred to as
“elearning” among other terms. However, online learning is just one type of “distance learning” - the
umbrella term for any learning that takes place across distance and not in a traditional classroom.

INTRODUCTION

Dealing with the responsibility of being a parent is one of the hardest tasks to take on. Becoming a
parent involves emotions, compassion, dedication, strength, knowledge, protectiveness and being able
to financially support as a child as far my experience is concern, I am motivated to inspire and give a
moral lesson the teenagers today.

The popularity of teen’s pregnancy worldwide has become a major concern in recent years. It is viewed
as a global crisis as the increasing number of teenage girls bearing children outside of marriage or before
graduating high school continue to rise. There are many reasons to scale down the teen pregnancy rate,
and the financial costs of teens giving birth are important. After highly dropping for almost a decade-
and-a-half, United States’ teen birth rate percentages began edging skyward in recent years. Experts
aren 't sure whether the run will continue and say there are various causes. A drop-off in contraceptive
use that began in the early 2000s is as good as HIV/AIDS treatments diminished fear of the disease is an
important factor. After the Obama administration ended the Bush administration protocol on federally
funding only sex-education programs with abstinence until marriage. Rather, allowed most funding to go
to projects that have been demonstrated in large, randomized trials to be active for pregnancy to be
stalled. Critics contend have not been evaluated by researchers and are the only ones that teaches the
value of committed relationships.

Rising a child is a big responsibility, which teenagers never bother to consider it. All they know is fun and
enjoyment for that matter, they don’t think that they need to be mature enough and do most
important things. Most of the teenage mother is didn’t have a choice to study or to stop. They don’t
have a choice but to bear a baby at a younger age , which sometimes it is one of the reason to do not
complete or graduate. Because of that they are not qualified to find a comfortable job for the future of
her family, and result of not having a job of parents is being lack of financial and they became a poor.
Poor norms and values, and poor self steem of some cases, teens are shunned by their own parents.
They live life resulting and according of what they think is right in order to survive, some parents of the
teen age mother is dot not give a support and they let their daughter to survive on their own that may
lead to a disastrous life.

Thought some parents give a high regards values rear their teenage pregnant daughter with love and
support that result to be more mature and loving daughters in rising their own child even if in the young
age. The very crucial part of being a mother is the fact that they are being unable to fully develop a
sense of self identity because of their new role as an expectant mother. Some of them are not nurture
with love and attention, that they tend to look for it outside their family circle. They find their ways to
get a attention to fulfill their needs. Friends are they company in times of loneliness, earning more
understanding and love that they want to have. Love and understanding is they need being a mother at
the young age is not easy to be, may be it is a mistake be a mother at a young age but this is not a
reason to end their dreams to have a better life, encourage them to continue their study to fulfill their
dreams.

“ if you cannot change the present, make a difference at the end.”

Background of the study

Here in our country in Philippines, we believe that saying of our national hero Dr. Jose P. Rizal that the “
youth is the hope of our mother land”.

But as we see the situation nowadays, what were expecting from the youth is the country if the saying.
Teenagers are prone to a pregnancy. Almost every year there is a rapid increase the number of
pregnancy of the youths. One of the causes of this problem is that most of the youths nowadays grew
up in broken family. Parents either father or mother of the youths chose to leave their children behind
because the fact that they cannot handle anymore their obligation as a parents.

Statement of the problem

This study answer the following questions.

What is your current situation with pregnancy?

Was the pregnancy planned?

Did you ever think aborting the baby?

As a teen aged mother, how do you plan to support your child’s financial needs?

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Women’s age-specific fertility rates[*] follow a characteristic pattern. Soon after menarche, the fertility
rate starts at a low level, peaks at ages 20-29, then declines until it stops completely following
menopause. The optimal ages for successful pregnancy are in the peak reproductive years. At either end
of the reproductive spectrum, that is at the youngest (below 20) and the oldest (40 and above) ages,
there is a higher risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Studies have shown that at age 35 and over, and
especially at 45 and over, women are more likely to experience gestational diabetes, placenta previa,
breech presentation and operative vaginal delivery than younger women aged 20-29. Other observed
complications that are more prevalent among older mothers compared to mothers in their twenties are
preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, cesarean delivery, abruptio placenta and preterm delivery.1

Similarly, when the woman is at the younger extreme of the reproductive age spectrum, below 20 years,
pregnancy carries the same elevated risk of adverse outcomes.2 Many studies consistently show that
teenage mothers are at increased risk of pre-term delivery and low birth weight.3-6 From a large data
base of births in the Latin American Center for Perinatology and Human Development in Uruguay, it was
found that after adjusting for major confounding factors, women age 15 and younger were at increased
risk for maternal death, early neonatal death and anemia compared with women age 20-24.
Furthermore, women aged less than 20 had higher risk for postpartum hemorrhage, puerperal
endometritis, operative vaginal delivery, low birth weight, pre-term delivery and small for gestational
age infants.7 The same elevated risks for teenage pregnancies, independent of known major
confounders like low socioeconomic status, inadequate prenatal care and inadequate weight gain during
pregnancy were documented using data from the 1995-2000 nationally linked birth/infant death data
set of the United States compiled by the National Center for Health Statistics and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention.8 In developing countries where no large data bases exist, evidence from smaller
samples show similar results indicating that the risks are not specifically linked to the level of
development of a country’s health care system and the availability of appropriate maternal care for very
young pregnant women,4 but are specific to the age group and its accompanying implication of
biological immaturity for childbearing. The risks follow an age gradient; they are generally higher at the
younger end of the teenage years and diminish toward the latter teen years.
Teenage pregnancy carries other significant non-health risks which are specific to this stage in the life
course. 9

For example, when a teenager bears a child and consequently either marries formally or enters into a
consensual union, she puts herself at risk of not finishing her education 10-11

and of limiting her chances of realizing her full potential by being burdened with child care when she
herself is still, almost a child. If the teenager remains unmarried following a pregnancy, she risks social
stigma from having an out-of-wedlock pregnancy and of having to bear its negative consequences. 12

At the aggregate level, a high teenage pregnancy rate contributes to high population growth as teenage
mothers will have considerably longer exposure to the risk of pregnancy than those who enter into
marital unions at a later age.

Teenage pregnancy has two aspects, and both could occur concurrently within the same country,
whether developed or developing. On the one hand, high teenage pregnancy rates may result from the
culturally sanctioned practice of early marriage and early marital childbearing, and on the other, from
premarital intercourse and unintended pregnancy. Research evidence points to a shift in behaviors
among young people in patterns of sexual activity such that early childbearing is becoming more a
consequence of early intercourse. This is more often true in urban than in rural areas.13 Additionally, a
downward trend in the age at menarche in both developed and developing countries has been reported
in a number of studies.14-16 Zabin and Kiragu (1998) in their review report a connection between age of
onset of sexual activity or age at first birth and age at menarche resulting in earlier onset of childbearing
for the current generation of teenagers compared with earlier cohorts.17

Because of the increased risks to both mother and child of too early childbearing, there is a need to
understand the situation on teenage pregnancy in any country in order to design appropriate
interventions. But obtaining reliable and valid data for analysis is not always easy, especially in a
developing country.

This paper consists of two parts: the first discusses data sources for the study of teenage pregnancy in
general; the second part presents trends in teenage pregnancy in the Philippines, some correlates and
an analysis of the drivers for the observed trend using a specific data source. We will use data from the
National Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) conducted in the Philippines at 5-year intervals since
1968. The NDHS surveys are part of the DHS program of surveys that are highly regarded for
methodological soundness and rigor in the design and conduct of data collection. With a common
research design and questionnaire adopted throughout all the surveys in the series, NDHS data lends
itself well to the analysis of long term trends in teenage pregnancy in the Philippines.
