 Our Journey in Community-Based Research: A Photoblog


Conducting our Community-Based Research (CBR) was both a challenging and rewarding experience. Together with my groupmates, we explored real-life community issues, engaged with local people, and gathered valuable insights. I actively participated in the focus study and helped in writing the conclusion, ensuring that our findings were clear and meaningful.  

Our journey began with an intense brainstorming session. We listed possible topics, debated their relevance, and finally decided on one that would create a meaningful impact in our community.   

Before heading into the field, we studied previous research, news articles, and reports related to our topic. This gave us a strong foundation for our study.  

Since I was actively involved in the focus study, I helped in formulating questions that would guide our data collection. We made sure our questions were clear, unbiased, and relevant.  

One of the most crucial parts of our research was the focus study where we interviewed individuals and gathered firsthand information. I facilitated the discussion, making sure that everyone had the chance to speak and share their insights.    

After collecting data, we organized and analyzed it. We identified key themes, patterns, and important takeaways.

My role in writing the conclusion was to summarize our findings and highlight the significance of our study. I ensured that our conclusion clearly reflected the community’s concerns and offered recommendations for improvement.  

As we neared the final stage, we prepared our report and presentation. We rehearsed multiple times to ensure clarity and confidence in delivering our research findings.   

Finally, the day arrived to present our work. We confidently shared our findings, answered questions, and felt a deep sense of accomplishment.  


Through this research experience, I learned the value of teamwork, patience, and critical thinking. Contributing to the focus study and writing the it allowed me to develop my analytical and communication skills. Most importantly, we realized the impact of research in understanding and addressing community issues. This journey was not just about fulfilling an academic requirement but about making a difference, one study at a time.

 .The More We Limit Ourselves, the More Resourceful We Become written by James Clear Creativity Minimalism In 1843, Soren Kierkegaard published his first major book, Either/Or (ebook), in which he tries to answer the question, “How should we live?” During a particularly interesting passage, the Danish philosopher discusses our tendency to see boredom as a negative influence and points out that we often use boredom as justification to jump continually from thing to thing. “One is weary of living in the country and moves to the city; one is weary of one’s native land and goes abroad; one is weary of Europe and goes to America, etc.; one indulges in the fanatical hope of an endless journey from star to star… One is weary of eating on porcelain and eats on silver; wearying of that, one eats on gold.” —Soren Kierkegaard The assumption that often drives these behaviors is that if we want to find happiness and meaning in our lives, then we need more: more opportunity, more wealth, and mor...

It’s also a moment to explore how legal frameworks have shaped and continue to influence women’s rights. Laws have been instrumental in securing rights for women in areas such as employment, health, and education, but they also remain a critical area of focus for advocacy and reform. In this blog post, we will explore two significant laws that have made a profound impact on the rights of women: Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA).  Title IX: Ensuring Equal Opportunities in Education Title IX is one of the most important pieces of legislation for women’s rights in the United States.

 Reflection on 2024 National Children's Month, Climate Change and Resiliency, Indigenous Peoples Month, and Elpidio Quirino's Legacy National Children's Month (2024)            This year's observance of National Children's Month reminds us of the critical role that children play in shaping our future. As we reflect on the theme, it is clear that the world’s most vulnerable—our children—are increasingly exposed to global crises like climate change, poverty, and inequality. In 2024, we recognize that protecting the rights of children is not just about providing for their basic needs but also about ensuring their future. It is the collective responsibility of governments, communities, and individuals to create safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive. This is particularly urgent in the face of climate change, which disproportionately affects young people, especially those in marginalized communities. Climate Change and Resiliency  ...
