Abstract	This qualitative case study examines the role of non-government organizations in empowering communities, specifically the Angat Buhay Foundation. The participants in the present research were selected team members from the aforementioned non-government organization in varied capacities. The data were gathered through in-depth interviews and the findings revealed that several factors impede the operations of the organization, including budgetary constraints, political factors such as volunteer support, collaboration among local government units, public perception, and media influence. The themes that emerge from the data analysis include internal and external issues faced by the Angat Buhay Foundation, solutions to internal and external challenges faced by the non-government organizations, and strengthening the role of non-government organizations in empowering communities. It is also crucial to recognize that Angat Buhay Foundation has faced public criticism since its inception. Public support, government support, and media influence were cited as critical factors in the effectiveness of non-government organizations' efforts during this period of societal recovery. Team members of the Angat Buhay Foundation also expressed confidence that their non-government organization's work would continue to prosper despite some negative criticism from the public and other government leaders. Recommendations were made to improve the working circumstances of non-government organizations in the country, allowing them to effectively serve the people in their own distinctive ways.
