Abstract Intestinal parasite infections (IPIs) are among the most serious public health issues globally. The morbidity and mortality rates of patients infected with these parasites are substantial. Due to various environmental, social, and geographic factors, the main risk factors for spreading parasitic infections, particularly protozoan infection, intestinal parasite distribution, and prevalence vary throughout nations and even within regions. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasite infections in children residing in Barangays 890 and 891. Out of the 120 children who participated in the preliminary screening, only 16 provided stool samples for microscopic examination. The intestinal parasites found are Ascaris lumbricoides and Trichuris trichiura, with corresponding prevalences of 18.75% and 6.25%. The researchers administered deworming procedures that provided 120 children with vitamins, antihelminthic medications, and health education. Coordination with the barangay health professionals and social workers was suggested to motivate all target children to participate, particularly in providing stool samples.
