Sarah is a 14-year-old girl who grew up in the province.

When she was in grade eight, her aunt took her to Manila to be
a house helper in the morning and to study at night in the nearby
public school. While studying, she fell in love with one of her
classmates who is older than her. They got married and lived in
the squatter area of Baclaran. She got pregnant but because
her husband’s salary is below minimum wage she did not go to
any clinic or hospital for prenatal check-up. She saved money
for the coming of the baby. She gave birth in a public lying-in
clinic to an underweight child with several health complications.
Alisa and her husband got so scared about their child’s
condition.

QUESTION:
What government agencies could have helped Alisa during her pregnancy?
