Damu naman ang gahimu pero tuod man nga damu gyapun ang wala gabaton sang ideya nga ina. Pero kun mga may edad naman sila kag bal-an nila ang ginahimu nila, indi man na guro malain. – JOSEPH FRANCO, tricycle driver, Pototan, Iloilo
I disagree. In the eyes of the Lord it is not acceptable. Sex is a holy union of a man and a woman, sacred and done after marriage. Para my basbas halin kay Lord, respeto kay Lord kag para ‘di kita magkasala sa Iya, kay kapalit sina may maabot nga indi manami sa aton kabuhi. – APPLE, 20, student, Iloilo Science and Technology University, Dumangas Campus
There’s nothing wrong with premarital sex as long as ready ang both parties if ever magbunga. Ang sala lang is kun indi nila kaya buhion ang bata. Sa Constitution wala man nakabutang nga dapat married couples lang ang pwede maka-sex. – KAYE, college student, West Visayas State University
I strongly disagree. As the teenagers grow, their minds become wilder. Boys control their urges with their girlfriends, that’s why some have sex.
Sexual desire or lust is a temporary enjoyment. They should think first before doing it. They should be aware what would happen sa anda nga kinabukasan.
I think kinahanglan gid nila guidance sang ila ginikanan kag self-discipline. – AUDREY MARIE JUANIZA, 19, student, Pavia National High School

Disagree. Kay may blessing kon kasal gid. – FRELYN GABASA, 42, businesswoman, Zarraga, Iloilo
Damu mga mag-asawa ang indi kasarang maggasto para sa kasal kag laban sa ila naga-live in na lang.
Makonsidera man ang pag-live in nga premarital sex. Wala man guro malain basta gapalanggaanay sila. Pero mas mayo gid kun kasal. – BILLY PEREZ, construction worker, Pototan, Iloilo
I beg to disagree. As what Apostle Paul wrote in Galatians 5:19-21: Acts of the sinful nature are obvious. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Love is not just about sex, not about the pleasure. True love waits. Nowadays, teenage pregnancy is rampant.
We should always be cautious. Premarital sex is a huge mistake. It is not a game. It is a sin. – ROGER PAUL TIMOTHY LACUARTA, 26, businessman, Pavia, Iloilo
Maskin hambalon ta nga damu gaubra, sala man gihapon, especially kun mga bata pa, mga teenagers.

Disagree. Ang premarital sex sala kag kalabanan sina gakatabo sa mga magnubyahanay pa lang, especially sa mga teenagers tungod sa ila curiosity.
Ang amo nga bagay dapat ginahulat after sang kasal before himuon. – RIZZA ALOJADO, 19, student, Iloilo State College of Fisheries
