Abstract
The study aims to assess the strategies the selected internal and external stakeholders employed to address the emerging cases of teenage pregnancy in the Alabat Island Division of Quezon. Utilizing a mixed-method research design, findings indicated that comprehensive sex education and other strategies were widely regarded as an ineffective intervention for addressing teenage pregnancies with always one-on-one face-to-face sessions with teenagers. Additionally, the study reveals active engagement of stakeholders in Alabat, Quezon, with follow-ups and visits to encourage teenage pregnancy awareness. The research findings show a concerning increase in adolescent pregnancies in Alabat, Quezon. This indicates that the lack of parental guidance and support is a significant problem in implementing strategies as solutions; they do home visitations and follow-ups. Furthermore, the study has shown promising results of comprehensive counseling and other strategies in lowering the rates of teenage pregnancies, as internal and external stakeholders perceived. Moreover, the study suggests that the stakeholders must prioritize comprehensive sex education, foster a supportive school culture, engage parents, establish support systems, collaborate with stakeholders, and monitor program effectiveness. These actions will create a safe and inclusive environment that promotes responsible decision-making and empowers students to make informed choices regarding their reproductive health. Implications of the study were discussed.
