Nowadays teens have a high number in early pregnancy and it

risks their health. Also, it affects their baby. Some of the cases
are premature birth, low birth weight. The baby will not  complete
their development in the bodies and brains. This can lead to
lifelong issues with health and development, depending on how
premature the baby is. Young pregnant mothers also have a
higher chance to become anemic (Carey & Schulman, 2018).

For the U.S. component of flourishing and human associations


(HHS), maternal achievement and thriving contradictions are key
prerequisites. Our commitment proceeds through propelling
assessment at the Public Establishments of Success to address
dangerous pregnancy traps. As a rule, at standard stretches, a
lady bombs frightfully from disorders from pregnancy or
envisioning successors, as exhibited by the Organizations for
Powerful contravention and Avoidance and 60% of these passes
are preventable. Faint and Neighborhood American/Gold country
Close by ladies are around different events as committed to
kicking the bowl from a pregnancy-related clarification, standing
apart from white ladies, Hispanic ladies, and Asian/Pacific
Islander ladies. Starting at now, with the additional worries of the
Covid-19 pandemic, there is essentially more we have to know to
help guarantee with sounding pregnancies and solid children.
Since SARS-CoV-2, the tainting that causes Coronavirus, is new,
we need to find a few solutions concerning its short-and extended
length effect on pregnant ladies and their youngsters. NICHD
beginning late dispatched an assessment to comprehend the
impacts of the Coronavirus pandemic during and after pregnancy.
SARS-CoV-2 tends to another test and a function to guarantee
that we review pregnant ladies for research, address exceptional
concerns identified with pregnancy, and make structures that
permit us to follow extended length results (Fink & Bianchi, 2020).
Even before Covid-19 there are many women dying because of
complications and childbirth, deaths in 2019 increase now by
26%. The rate of unintended pregnancy can increase up to 42%
from 2019. They are women ages from 15-48 years old, they
don't want to be pregnant but they also are not using
contraceptive materials. The Philippines has the highest rates of
births in Asia due to Covid-19. Last year this was described as a
national social emergency. Because of the covid-19 this year may
end up having more teenage girls being pregnant. Sexual and
physical violence this year may increase, since we have been
stuck in our houses for months and for others they also stuck with
abusers in their own homes. This challenge is also for
governments to maintain the health services facilities for women
in family planning, using contraceptive materials and protections
during this pandemic (UNFPA, 2020).

There are many causes why teenagers got pregnant early so of


the cause are lack if information about sexual and reproductive
health and rights, inadequate access to service tailord to young
people, family, community and social pressure to marry, sexual
abuse, early and forced marriage, and las lack of education
(Teenage Pregnancy/Plan international, 2020).
The situation of the teenage pregnancy rate in the Philippines has
been called a national social emergency. Youths that give birth
everyday are 500. The catholic bishops conference of the
Philippines remind the youth to enjoy being youth they should
know their limitations. That we shouldn't allow ourselves to
curiosity that we will regret at the end. And that Sex should be
done in marriage and not be done before marriage (POPCOM,
2020).
This pandemic makes the lives of every family harder. This
pandemic started last December in Wuhan China. It affects many
countries like the Philippines. The most vulnerable are the
children, especially girls, it is very hard to access the school to
learn in this time of pandemic. Poor children don't have enough
money to study. Being not able to study most of the young girls
spend their time entertaining men or boys, leading to greater
likelihood of engagement in risky sexual behavior. Because of
lack of information about premarital sex and poverty that is very
popular in our country many girls got pregnant at the age of 15-19
years old.(World Vision, 2020).

As stated by Atty. Kenneth Ocampo-Lantin, PYSPESO head,


These days young pregnancy is multifaceted and it's considered
as a public weight, which is the reason Gov. Daniel R Fernando
wanted to figure out  how to reach out to the youth and their
parents knowingly that  the vast majority remain at home due to
the COVID-19 we confronted. Furthermore, She added that
according to the Philippine Statistics Authority's 2019 Poverty
Indicator Survey, there were 2.97 million school youths in the
country out of school, so 61.9 percent of those are girls aged 16-
24 who married early and/or pregnant. In her talk, Patricia Ann
Alvaro, PHO-PH Provincial Health Education and Promotion
Officer and one of the resource speakers, said that teenage
parenthood is as much a global burden as it is locally. She said
21 million girls aged 15-19 get pregnant annually worldwide and
about 12 million give birth, with 770,000 of these births happening
to teenage girls younger than 15 years of age.
With the increase of higher education students, 10% of this
population are parents or mothers who like to give a better future
to their children and work for their family. Special attention should
be paid to mothers, since they are also mothers and caregivers at
home, apart from their position as students. After that, the student
mother will return to her studies because they want to provide
their children with everything (Wilsey, 2013).

Teenage pregnancy is the world's problem. But we need to be


aware of those student mothers, ages between 15 to 19 girls.
Because pregnant students need to lower in their necessity and
desires for their children and families. They would face the
struggles with the incompatible role of being mothes and a
studentship ( Berg & Mamhute, 2013)

Let us have a glimpse of the sad state of the Philippine Public


Healthcare System. The level of per-individual healthcare
spending in the country is one of the most minimal among
Southeast Asia's major economies while the nation's healthcare
spending is projected to increment annually (Folger, 2020). In
terms of specialist to-quiet ratio, the Philippines has one doctor
per 33,000 patients, and one hospital bed is available for every
1,121 Filipino  patients. The question now is where to oblige those
who need to be isolated because of infectious diseases such as
COVID-19 not including others who need to be quarantined. This
data tells us that the Philippines is not really ready to Tight a
global pandemic. Our medical front liners have felt anxious,
especially medical specialists, nurses and lab technicians in the
last few days and weeks with the exponential increase of
Coronavirus 19 cases in the nation. As indicated by Lim (2020),
starting in 2017, there were 1,236 emergency clinics in the nation
65% of which were exclusive. WHO recommends 20 beds per
10,000 population but the Philippines had 14.4 beds per 10, 0000
in 1990 and only 9.9 beds per 10, 0000 population in 2014. Since
the virus was not contained within Manila where ii started and
reached to other regions, chances are there will be more people
who will be admitted to the hospitals all over the country and there
will be more people who should be quarantined and detached.

As mentioned above, medical staff have been complaining


already about the sad state of the Philippine Public Healthcare
System. Jocelyn Santos-Andamo, the secretary-general of
Filipino Attendants Joined together (FNU), a public association of
medical caretakers, said that the administration doesn't regard
wellbeing as a need and the effectively low wellbeing budget was
further cut which resulted in less clinical supplies, poorly
maintained medical equipment and understating even before
Coronavirus 19. Even previously Coronavirus 19, the public
health system was now deteriorating (Lim, 2020).

To intensify the state's Tight against the spread of  Coronavirus


19, President Rodrigo Duterte declared a state of  public health
emergency in the Philippines on March 9  due to the
confirmation of local transmission of the virus. Then, on March 12,
2020, the President decided to put the entire Manila on Enhanced
Community Quarantine and on March 15, 2020, he expanded it to
the entire country and closed its borders to foreigners. The
spokesperson The  president clarified that "strict home
quarantine shall be implemented in all households, transportation
shall be suspended, provision of food and essential services will
be regulated, and heightened presence of formally dressed
personnel to  enforce quarantine procedures will be implemented"
(Santos, 2020c). However, as expected, not all establishments
want to follow the "work from home scheme". Some
establishments (especially in the private sector) still asked  their
employees to report to work by imposing a 'no work, no pay
policy'. In a society where a lot of people are really in need of
work, private establishments can even pride themselves of being
generous to the poor by giving them work notwithstanding
government's mandate not to require their employees to report to
work and instead to devise a 'work from homes' scheme.
The government did not also impose sanction to the
establishments for continuously requiring their employees to work
by imposing a  'no work, no pay' policy. Thus, for the poor and
those who are solely dependent on their daily work for survival,
they did not have a decision but to work and brave the
challenge of Coronavirus 19 infection just to let their family have
food to eat (Santos, 2020c).
