Abstract | This study examined the lived experiences of barangay officials, community members, and families in relation to the reintegration of former offenders in Barangay Balatero, Puerto Galera. Using a qualitative method grounded in a phenomenological research design, data were gathered from seven family members of former offenders, seven community residents, and barangay officials who had served for at least three years in Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro. The results showed that barangay officials implement various strategies to aid reintegration, including regular monitoring and organizing community clean-up drives. Community members, however, experience challenges such as feelings of fear and economic and social pressure. Meanwhile, families of former offenders cope with reintegration by seeking help from extended relatives and supportive members of the community to overcome stigma and related struggles. These findings underscore the importance of a collaborative and inclusive approach involving local leaders, communities, and families to ensure successful reintegration. The study adds to the ongoing conversation on reintegration by highlighting the roles of community engagement, education, and local governance. |
