I. ABSTRACT

Under RA 9344, Child at Risk refers to children vulnerable to and at risk of committing criminal
offenses because of personal, family, and social circumstances. This study assessed the extent of
the implementation of an intervention program among Children at Risk in Sungay East and
Sungay West Tagaytay City. The study also intended to raise awareness among residents of
Sungay East and Sungay West about the intervention program that they are implementing. Also,
the researchers want to know what activities the Barangay provides to the Children at Risk who
live in their locality. This study used a quantitative descriptive research design. This study
utilized a self-made questionnaire that underwent validity and reliability testing. The sources
came from the respondents, which has 18 children at risk in Sungay West and twelve (12) child
at risk in Sungay East Tagaytay City. Frequency and percentage distribution were used in the
treatment of data. The findings prove that the survey's interpretation of the extent of intervention
program implementation among children at risk in Sungay East and Sungay West Tagaytay City
was "Very High Extent." Furthermore, in Sungay West and Sungay East Tagaytay City, there is
a significant correlation between demographic characteristics and the extent of implementing
intervention programs among children at risk. This indicates that the Intervention Program was
"Very High Extent" implemented. The result suggests several courses of action; first, because of
the demographic character of those who participated, the researchers recommend that barangays
enhance the implementation of their respective intervention programs; Researchers also
recommend that each barangay implement a variety of techniques, such as conferences,
seminars, and training, that raise awareness of the adverse effects of risky behavior, improve
parent effectiveness, create handling or transformation skills in adolescents/youth, and explore
venues which encourage residence-Collaboration between schools and communities to achieve
the primary intervention's goal; also, researchers recommend that each barangay should
implement preventative measures for children identified as being at risk of committing a crime.
