The Capstone Project was proposed to address the issues in the availment of PhilHealth benefits and services particularly the Primary Care Benefits (PCB) through the implementation of the Revitalized ALAGA Ka Program para kina Juan at Juana. Likewise, the awareness about enlistment among PCB-eligible members of Barangay Dila-an and Barangay Batuan before the implementation of project were assessed. The results of the study showed that only 53.1% of respondents have been enlisted in RHU/health center, with 90 out of the 192 total respondents are not enlisted. When group according to profile there were more members from Brgy. Batuan (79.4%) who were enlisted compared to those from Brgy. Dilaan (20.6%). Moreover, for those who were enlisted, more than one half (55.9%) were enrolled with PhilHealth for 8 to 10 years. Those who were enrolled with PhilHealth for a shorter time had significantly lower enlistment There were significant differences in the number of enlisted members between barangays, with lesser enlistment from Brgy. Dila-an which was farther away from the RHU compared to Brgy. Batuan. Futhermore, those who were enrolled with PhilHealth for a shorter time had significantly lower enlistment. As to knowledge about PhilHealth, almost all of the enlisted members (92.2%) knew that PhilHealth provides health care benefits, while only 75.6% of those not listed knew about it. Knowledge was significantly higher among enlisted members and availment of RHU/Health Center services was also found significantly higher among those who were enlisted. There were no significant differences in the utilization of RHU for common illness for both enlisted (73.5%) and unlisted members (62.2%). Also, there were no significant differences with regard to worsening sickness, although more than those unlisted (53.3%) brought patient to the nearest hospital, compared to those enlisted (52.9%) who still brought patients to the RHU/Health Center even when symptoms were getting worse. Results of the study have found that there is underutilization of primary health care in the grassroots level, which could be attributed to lack of awareness of the members themselves. Tha lack of awareness, despite the AlaGA Ka program of PhilHealth means that there is a need to revitalize the program. It is very vital that the gap in awareness, enlistment and availment of primary health care be addressed since this would redound to early detection and treatment of illness at the primary care level and the prevention of disease complication. Significantly improving enlistment will increase the rate of availment of TSeKap which will lead to strong primary healthcare, fewer hospitalizations, fewer costs for PhilHealth and the government and would ensure improved health outcomes. In order to revitalize the AlaGa Ka Program, there is a need to furnish a complete and updated master list of PhilHealth members and dependents to TSekaP providers. There is alo a need to improve information dissemination by strengthening coordination with concerned agencies including the LGUs, the RHUs, and the aggressive conduct of AlaGA Ka at the LHIO level, organize sessions with the local barangay councils and group in the local dialects and using such local dialect in the information and educational campaign
