Abstract: The study focused on the Lived Experiences of Street Children in the Province of Cebu.The study utilized the hermeneutic phenomenological research design. Moreover, the participants of the study are the ten (10) street children of Cebu Province selected using the purposive sampling method. Data Saturation was the basis for determining the number of participants in the study.To analyze the data, the researcher made use of Collaizi’s method. It is a unique seven-step methodology that offers a thorough examination, with each stage remaining true to the facts.Moreover, the study yielded four themes namely; (1) Basic Needs, (2) Dropping out of School, (3) Irresponsible Parents, (4) Health,and (5) aspiration. In addition, the study determined that everyday struggles are faced by street children in the Province of Cebu. Fulfilling fundamental needs, such as food, clothing, and a place to sleep is a challenge. Likewise, they have also missed out on the possibility to enroll in school, losing out on the ability to better their lives. Moreover, these children suffer from the sad situation of having negligent parents who fail to provide their basic necessities. Despite all of these setbacks, these children still want to succeed in life. |
