Cruz 07:38 AM, Oct 26, 2021 

Greetings, DOH. 

I am Laurenz Cruz, an undergraduate student taking BS Development Communication at the University of the Philippines. Currently, I am pursuing a data story about teenage pregnancy in the Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

In this regard, may I request datasets of teenage pregnancy cases in the country during the onset of the pandemic? It would be helpful if I can acquire raw data sets for analysis. Rest assured that the data will be used for educational purposes only. 

I am looking forward to your positive response. Thank you so much.

Best regards, 
Laurenz Cruz
