De Lima calls for Senate probe into school policy vs. pregnant enrolees 0 SHARES Share it! In Senate Resolution 967, De Lima said the pregnancy policy imposed by the Pines City Colleges (PCC) in Baguio City to its female enrolees could become a dangerous precedent for discriminatory practices against pregnant students if allowed unchecked. If tested positive, De Lima recalled that the female students would not be allowed to enrol in certain subjects the college deemed to be dangerous for the mother and child. De Lima said it is crucial to address this issue and urge the Senate and concerned government agencies to formulate policies that would further uphold and promote women’s rights. De Lima, chairwoman of the Senate committee on social justice, welfare and rural development, has authored and co-authored several bills and resolutions advocating women’s rights.
