The dependent variables are the five areas of community well-being: Clean and Green, Growth and Prosperity, Healthy Lifestyle, Safety and Security, Sense of Community, and Sustainable and Connected Transport. The independent variables comprise their socio-demographic profile. An adapted questionnaire checklist was utilized in gathering data. The mean and percentage we used to analyze the data gathered.It was found that hypertension and heart attack are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality, respectively. Their community well-being is high, along with the sense of community, sustainable and connected transport, clean and green, safety and security, and growth and prosperity. However, their community well-being and healthy lifestyle are low.Based on the study's findings, the following recommendations are made: 1) Support from the local government unit along livelihood programs, high-quality broadband, and sound policy framework on digital networks, and digital skill training; 2) support for low-income families by non-government organizations; 3) execution of the health extension plan, the “Healthy NA’PO!
