It highlights some important changes within the last decade, among others, emerging articulation of sexual and reproductive rights frameworks in the context of human rights discourse. Given this context, the paper also reviews past and present Philippine initiatives and programs related to Sex Education, particularly under the Population Education program and makes some key recommendations for future policy directions.
