DOH and Catholic Bishop finally agree on responsible parenthood, but not sex education.


The DOH and a Catholic bishop had finally come to terms when it comes to responsible parenthood but not on sex education.

Both parties are optimistic to have a solution to its long standing conflict on giving sex education to elementary and high school students as part of DepEd school curriculum. They are now seeing that responsible parenthood can be a more appropriate terms to use and not sex education.

However, there are still differences in their own terminology of responsible parenthood. While the government translates it as 'allowing couples to have a more active part in family planning', the Church on the other hand view it as 'allowing parents to follow the natural biological composition of the human persons'.

Although they differ on their own views, both parties are now confident that they can find a compromise with talking and not fighting each other and also without having to go back to square one.
