As many as 30 per cent of couples in the Philippines are unaware that having sex can result in babies, Health Secretary Manuel Dayrit said on Tuesday.
"They do not know how pregnancy happens," even though some of them have had numerous children already, Dayrit remarked.
The discovery was the result of field studies by health workers who went door-to-door to determine population control program awareness, Dayrit said in remarks released in Manila.
He did not say how many couples in the mainly Roman Catholic nation were surveyed.
The field workers found that in many of these cases, the couples believed the children were simply gifts from God.
