Young Filipino women are slowly catching up with men when it comes to premarital sex, a survey conducted by the University of the Philippines-Population Institute (UPPI) showed yesterday.


According to the Young Adult Fertility Survey 3 (YAFS-3), more Filipino males engage in premarital sex, compared to females. But over the years, the gap has been narrowing.

                    [Summary] => The Population Commission (PopCom) has said 24 is still the ideal age for marrying, even as it urged the youth to exercise restraint in these modern times. 


"We may have entered the modern age but I think it is still best for our youth to get married at the age of 24. For me, it’s not too young and not too old for married life," said PopCom executive director Tomas Osias.


He however cautioned that women should not wait too long to tie the knot and bear children, because a first pregnancy nearing middle ripe age may entail complications.
