Senator Christopher “Bong” Go, co-author and co-sponsor of Senate Bill No. 2200, or the Basic Education Mental Health and Well-Being Promotion Act initially filed and principally sponsored by Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, expressed his elation and support for the bill after it was approved by the Senate on third and final reading on Monday, September 11.
Go, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Health, extended his gratitude to Gatchalian for spearheading the initiative. The bill aims to establish a Mental Health and Well-Being Center in both public and private K-12 schools. It also supports the Department of Education’s learning recovery plan and creates new permanent positions for Guidance Counselor and Guidance Associate.“When our young learners struggle with their mental well-being, it affects every part of their lives—their academic performance, their relationships, and their overall happiness,” he added.
The awareness campaign will give special emphasis to issues like suicide prevention, stress handling, mental health and nutrition, and guidance and counseling. The Department of Education reported that in 2021, 404 students from public schools committed suicide while 2,147 attempted to take their own lives.
