SEX EDUCATION in Secondary Curriculum

              The power of education can influence different minds and youth person in terms of acquisition of knowledge, facts and information as long as it suits their needs as an individual and a learner that seeks for consistent information and factual data. It will provide variety of information towards a certain idea like in sex education, its been an issue for a couple of years in implementing it, in the curriculum not just in Secondary but also in Basic level of Education. 

Department of Education (DepED) agreed about the implementation of having Sex Education as part of the curriculum since Secretary Mona Valisno emphasized that the contents of the reproductive health lesson modules that will be integrated in core subjects are scientific, informative and are not designed to titillate prurient interest of the students when we try to have Sex Education as part of the curriculum. She also said that “Our role here is to educate our young people on issues that directly affect them and empower them to make informed choices and decisions.” An idea that support that sex education is not thoroughly about having sex but also about how we take good care of ourselves or proper hygiene, about reproductive system and sex identity. It's not merely about having sexual intercourse with someone rather a transfer of knowledge that will help students in understanding the concept of "sex". Another is that, when we try to integrate Sex Education it doesn't mean that it will focuses only in one subject area but we can integrate sex education in different field of instruction which is called THEMATIC APPROACH. We can apply it in different fields that will help them to understand further the concept of Sex Education.

It was emphasized in other Asian countries having Sex Education as part of their curriculum had a positive output in giving importance in the Education aspect of the country.They actually had less percentage of the number of population and the youth were educated enough in terms of SEX. It will actually help our youth today to be open minded enough in terms of that matter and it will cater their curiosity about sex. As far as the information concern about it, there were almost 160 schools which  79 public high schools and 80 Elementary Schools having Sex Education as part of the Curriculum based on the data given by Education Secretary Mona Valisn. 

It will help our youth now a days to handle this matter with proper information and data given by having SEX EDUCATION as part of the Secondary Curriculum.

"What will be the next chapter of the Kagay-anon after the typhoon Sendong

     It was December 16,2011 that the Cagayan De Oro City and Iligan City experienced catastrophe that killed thousands of people. They lost their lives, houses and even more than they had.Nevertheless, how can we say that the people here at Cagayan De Oro City already recovered from the said dilemma?, do we think they will continue their lives as same as before?; these are the questions that we can associate after the dreadful event that we experienced last 2011. Actually after a couple of days, we saw people striving to survive after the incident like cleaning up and looking for their own foods to support their daily needs.Our government especially the local government here at  Cagayan De Oro City worked as if nothing happened and we can consider them irresponsible after the dilemma we had, before ending the year of Metal Rabbit.People waited for donations,support and ways to help them to stand again for their survival but why was it that we watched television and saw  people still suffering and asking for help because of the Typhoon Sendong.
