DOH teen pregnancy video draws flak from netizens

The Department of Health (DOH) released a video—since taken down—on their official Facebook page on November 30, a public service announcement about teen pregnancy. In the video, a cheer squad performed a routine to the song.

 

 

Despite being removed, the video has been re-uploaded on YouTube by the website When in Manila. Comments seem to generally be negative, with people complaining about the video’s cringe-worthyness and how condescending it is.

Did I just waste 3 minutes of my little life watching a tactless video on teen pregnancy produced by DOH? Is this where our tax is going?

Some people also pointed out that the PSA song sounds similar to Rum Pum Pum Pum by the Kpop group f(x).
