Abstract : This research study examine on how the social, economic, and cultural reasons behind the early pregnancy within the Philippines, by applying trend analysis with GRETL time series plot on data gathered from 2018 to 2022 across 16 regions. The Findings show that there will be a clear differences between areas, with higher rates in region like in Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, and Northern Mindanao. These form suggest that early pregnancy is shaped or a result of a mix of local factors like poverty, cultural beliefs, and how easily the teenager can get health services. Even though in the urban areas like in Metro Manila, the numbers for the teenage pregnancy remain high, showing that the income alone does not explain the cause. The study highlights that there will be need and implementation for local solutions that consider each region’s culture and circumstances. It also recommends the stronger sex education specially to the teenage level, better access to youth-friendly reproductive health care, and community programs that are respectful of local values, also there will be a regular data tracking to help and shape effective policies. Overall, the study offers helpful insight for reducing teen pregnancy through informed and region-specific strategies.
