Good day,

I am currently enrolled in BS Psychology at Centro Escolar University. As part of my undergraduate thesis, I am conducting a study focusing on Adolescent Pregnancy and Motherhood.

I would like to kindly request your office's assistance in providing me with the necessary data for my research. Specifically, I am seeking the latest raw data on cases of teenage pregnancy (child-bearing) in Quezon City and City of Manila. It would be greatly appreciated if the data could be categorized by barangay and age, covering the latest report last 2022.

Kind Regards,
Mc Lexther San Juan
