PLAN
● Family Planning: Make informed decisions about when and how many children you
want to have. This includes discussions with your partner and, if necessary,
consultations with healthcare providers to choose the right contraceptive methods.
● Preconception Care: If you plan to become pregnant, prepare your body for a healthy
pregnancy by taking preconception vitamins, managing chronic conditions, and adopting
a healthy lifestyle.
PROTECT
● Safe Sexual Practices: Use protection, such as condoms, to prevent sexually
transmitted infections (STIs). Communicate openly with your partner about sexual health
and both get tested for STIs.
● Regular Check-Ups: Visit healthcare providers regularly for gynecological or urological
exams to detect and address any potential issues.
● Contraception: Choose and use the appropriate contraceptive methods to prevent
unintended pregnancies until you are ready to have children.
PROSPER
● Healthy Lifestyle: Maintain a balanced diet, engage in regular physical activity, and
manage your weight to support overall health and reproductive well-being.
● Stress Management: Practice stress-reduction techniques to minimize chronic stress,
which can negatively impact reproductive health.
● Avoid Harmful Substances: Stay away from smoking, excessive alcohol, and
excessive caffeine consumption, as these can harm fertility and reproductive function.
● Manage Chronic Health Conditions: Properly manage chronic conditions like diabetes,
hypertension, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to promote reproductive health.

Teenage pregnancy philippines
As stated by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) in its 2022 National Demographic and
Health Survey (NDHS), teenage pregnancies among Filipino women—15 to 19 years old—fell
from 8.6 percent in 2017 to 5.4 percent in 2022.
People awareness of family planning
The prevalence of contraception use was 57.2% in the Philippines. The prevalence of demand
satisfied regarding family planning was 70.5 in the Philippines. Unmet need regarding family
planning was 16.6% in the Philippines. After adjusting for the covariates, the results showed that
women who were exposed to media were more likely to use contraception in Philippines
(aOR = 2.24, 95% CI = 1.42–3.54). Media exposure also had a significant positive effect on
demand satisfaction regarding family planning in the Philippines (aOR = 2.19, 95%
CI = 1.42–3.37). However, there was no significant association between media exposure and
unmet need.
Positive sti
Based on the December 2022 HIV/AIDS Registry of the Philippines report, there were a total of
14,970 new HIV cases detected between January and December 2022. The 2022 figure, the
DOH said, is 2,631 cases higher than the 12,339 cases recorded in 2021. In 2022, the DOH
said there were 4,377 people diagnosed with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. In 2021,
there were only 3,871 AIDS cases diagnosed. Sexual contact remains the most common mode
of HIV transmission in the 14,637 cases recorded in 2022.
Unintended pregnancy
● 71 in every 1,000 women aged 15 to 49 went through an unintended pregnancy between
2015 and 2019.
● The Philippines ranks 56th among 150 countries for the number of unintended
pregnancies at 71 per 1,000 women annually
● 51% of all pregnancies are unintended which is almost the same as the global average
