  • This house would abolish the MTRCB

    Infoslide

    The Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB) is a government agency responsible for the review and classification of movies and television programs in the Philippines. The agency uses a rating system to establish a minimum age requirement to watch each movie and television program (e.g., PG-13, R-16, R-18, X) which must be determined before public release. Due to this, movies and television programs rated X cannot be legally distributed in the Philippines, among other distribution regulations depending on the classification.

  • This house, as a young orphan, would rather be sent to foster families than to an orphanage

    Infoslide

    For the purposes of this debate, foster families are families which foster orphans for a limited period during childhood - often 2-4 years - for which they receive financial remuneration from the government. When an orphan’s stay at one foster family ends, they are moved to another. Wherever an orphan is assigned within the foster system - either to foster families or to an orphanage - they are eligible for adoption.

  • This House, as a teenager, Would rather grow up with the trend of 2014 Tumblr aesthetic rather than 2020's "it girl" trend

    Infoslide

    The 2014 Tumblr aesthetic is a defining internet subculture of the early-to- mid 2010s, especially among teen girls and queer youth. It is centered around curated sadness, romanticized trauma, melancholia, alienation, romantic despair and feeling that you are not in control of your own life. Some of its prominent music includes albums like “Born to die” by Lana Del Rey, “Badlands” by Halsey and “Electra Heart” by Marina and the Diamonds. In contrast, a more recent “that girl” trend centers on confidence, being the main character, ignoring the haters and “faking it until you make it”. Some of its prominent music includes “Brat” by Charli xcx, “Renaissance” by Beyonce and “Planet her” by Doja Cat.

  • This house, as a parent, W make their child undergo lifting

    Infoslide

    Lifting is a form of early genetic enhancement where embryos are edited to promote advanced cognitive development — such as improved memory, faster information processing, and higher problem-solving abilities. The procedure is generally effective but is associated with a 30% increase in the risk of certain chronic conditions later in life (such as autoimmune diseases or neurodegenerative disorders). There is also a minor risk of complications during the enhancement process itself, including higher infant mortality rates compared to non-edited births.

For example, no imposition of limits behind screentime and social media presence.</span></div></div></div>

  • This house prefers a model where children of expatriates enrol into local schools rather than to 'Foreign System Schools' (FSSes)

    Infoslide

    Presently, the Singapore government focuses on maintaining a core set of 'Foreign System Schools (FSSes)' (also known as International Schools) that are catered for expatriates and have separate curriculum from local schools. Local students are typically not allowed to enter these schools, and expatriate students are usually not enrolled into local schools. These schools typically have an international curriculum (such as IB) as compared to the Cambridge examination system, and a strong international brand name. Examples are Dulwich International School (DIS) and Tanglin Trust School (TTS).

  • This House, as parents in conservative areas, prefer sending their low-support-needs autistic child to a regular school instead of a special needs school.

    Infoslide

    ”Low-support-needs autism" refers to a person on the autism spectrum who requires minimal support to manage their daily life and social interactions, meaning they can largely function independently while largely passing as a neurotypical person. For example, only needing certain accomodations when places are too loud, specific material needed for their school uniform, or not picking up on social cues.
