At 14.....Nanay na si NeNe

"Ang Mga Dalagita ng Sapang Kawayan"

 most girls are probably on their first crush, first date, first puppy love. Around this age, girls take their first awkward step into womanhood.

 young girls experience physical changes brought about by adolescence. At this young age, they are perhaps only starting to learn how to become a woman.

But in this coastal community in Masantol Pampanga, at 14, there are girls who have taken humungous leaps into motherhood. At this young age, these girls are either pregnant or have already given birth.

Sapang Kawayan is a small village in Masantol Pampanga. At first glance one would think there is nothing extraordinary about this town. But upon closer inspection, the hard truth reveals itself -- many mothers in the village are actually girls.

This Women's Month, Kara David visits Sapang Kawayan to find out why these young girls take the early and difficult road to motherhood.

This Video is one of my favorite Documentary “"Ang Mga Dalagita ng Sapang Kawayan" presented by I-witness of GMA-7 Kapuso Network hosted by Ms. Kara David in this segment. I salute to the researchers who come up the story. Honestly I was shock when Ms.Kara introduces the place. I dunno the place yet so that night exactly 12 midnight when the segment aired. I’ll watch because this is very interesting topic related to my thesis.

In this video one of commentator of the youtube owner react how the small island like Sapang kawayan suffering on the problem especially to the children of the said place.

Video comment:

This is the top level of Bad Parenting which has become a state of mind of Sapang Kawayan's community.

What's worse is that, there’s a chain of reasons why this is happening.

No Highschool Education + No Parish Preist + Poverty.

Government is also to blame, all previous government.

I agree this comment; one of the main problems to this place is no more opportunity to offer by the government and also to the tradition by the people of Sapang kawayan.

"sabi nga na nakakatanda sa lugar na ito kapag 18 ka nah ikaw daw ay napag iwanan ng panahon."

this is the hardest part of the story........
