Lack of information about sexual and reproductive health and rights.Inadequate access to services tailored to young people.Family, community and social pressure to marry.Sexual violence.among these are just some cited reasons why there are a lot of teenage pregnancy cases around the Philippines
But with this we can also find preventative ways in order to avoid or lessen the rising cases, and now to put it in this event wherein we're in a pandemic, the teenage pregnancy cases are still rising wherein mostly teenagers are affiliated with this issue

local healthcare support
If they chose to be sexually active, it would be better if they would be more aware on using contraceptives to have a preventative measure against early pregnancy by giving them contraceptives through local healthcare support
