    [abstract] => This study, titled “Human Rights Awareness of the Residents in Calamba City: Towards an Intervention Program,” examined the level of human rights awareness among residents of Barangay San Cristobal, Calamba City, Laguna. Specifically, it determined the respondents’ level of awareness across six domains—civil, political, economic, social, workplace rights, and rights of vulnerable groups—and analyzed significant differences when grouped according to age, gender, educational attainment, and monthly household income. The study also identified the challenges encountered by residents in exercising their human rights and proposed an intervention program to address these gaps.
Using a Sequential Explanatory Mixed-Methods Design, the researcher gathered quantitative data from 706 respondents through surveys and qualitative insights from seven (7) informants via interviews. Results revealed that residents exhibited moderate to high awareness of human rights, particularly in political and social dimensions, while awareness of economic rights and the rights of vulnerable groups was comparatively lower. Significant differences were found when respondents were grouped by demographic factors, with higher awareness observed among those with greater education and income levels. Qualitative data further revealed barriers such as political misinformation, economic hardship, workplace favoritism, discrimination against elderly individuals, persons with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ members, as well as inequitable access to government services.
To address these issues, the study proposed a Barangay-Based Human Rights Awareness Program, focusing on rights education, livelihood support, anti-discrimination initiatives, and workplace fairness campaigns. The findings underscore the importance of continuous, inclusive, and community-driven human rights education to strengthen awareness, equality, and active citizenship among Calamba City residents.
