Have you been out in the streets lately?
Have you seen children on the streets not wearing proper clothing – with dirty hands and feet, eating whatever they can on a school day?
What you see is not even close to the total number of children who’s currently living as the same within the country.
In a research paper released by UNICEF Philippines called the “Situation Analysis of Children in the Philippines,” they have listed down the following statistics:
- 31.4% of children within the country does not meet the required amount of their basic needs (2015)
- Teenage pregnancy occurs in 59.2 per 1000 females aged 15-19 years old (2013)
- In 2015, the vaccination coverage dropped down to 62% from 89% in 2013.
- 33% of children are stunted under 5 years old; 21.5% are malnourished. (2015)
- In children aged 5-15, 2.85 million are out of school (2015)
