Crime in the Philippines remains a significant social issue, with factors such as poverty, unemployment, and lack of access to education often driving individuals toward criminal behavior. Despite various law enforcement efforts, recidivism remains a persistent problem, with many rehabilitated offenders returning to criminal activities after serving their sentences. This study explored the underlying reasons for this recurrence of criminal behavior, focusing on the challenges faced by Barangay Officials during their journey of handling rehabilitated offenders in reintegrating into society. The research identifies key factors contributing to recidivism, including limited rehabilitation support, social stigma, family influence, and inadequate employment opportunities. By examining these issues, the study highlighted the critical need for comprehensive way of rehabilitation and reintegration programs that address both the personal and societal barriers faced by rehabilitated offenders.
