Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 23, Issue 3
Abstract
This research aimed to give an in-depth understanding and analysis of the survival mechanisms of a family who eats pagpag. It also focuses on how the family in the slums survives everyday life with pagpag as their daily meal. In this study, the researchers have their three main objectives. The first objective is to learn about the life experiences of a family that eats pagpag. The second one strives to know the selected family's perspective regarding pagpag as their daily meal and the reasons that drove them to eat pagpag. The last one, the researchers, want to discover is the perceived impact of eating pagpag on the selected family. A case study was used in this research to further understand how page serves as the survival mechanism of the selected family. Also, the sampling method that was applied is purposive sampling, for this research needs sure participants. The participants consist of a family who lives in the slums of Tondo, Manila. This study deliberates how the selected family survives with the help of pagpag as their daily meal. Through their perspective and opinions, the researchers developed more reliable data that can answer their objectives. The garbage considered today serves as a mechanism for the selected family. Furthermore, the researchers discovered how essential Pagpag is to the selected families. It cannot be denied how Pagpag helps them to survive. However, consuming Pagpag has its consequences. The researchers also found out why the selected families were driven into a situation where they could only rely on Pagpag as their meal, first, due to poverty that was consuming them. Second, there is a lack of government action to solve the problem. The researchers also asked the participants if they would still choose Pagpag as their meal. They answered yes; they would still consume Pagpag because they had already had it since they started living at Aroma. Their answer seems to signify the actual state of poverty here in our country, where people in slums have already forgotten the meaning of hope and are mistaken to think that poverty cannot be cured anymore.
