Abstract

This phenomenological study reveals the lived experiences of bamboo barbecue stick makers in Montehermoso, Carmen, Bohol, Philippines, exploring their multifaceted realities shaped by economic necessity, physical labor, and aspirations for familial and community support. The research uncovers the intricate web of challenges and aspirations inherent in this informal livelihood through purposive sampling and semi-structured interviews. Key themes emerged, highlighting the critical role of barbecue stick production in supporting daily living and educational aspirations, despite enduring physical strain, occupational hazards, and seasonal constraints. Participants express a resilient commitment to their craft, emphasizing the importance of community solidarity and technological advancements in enhancing productivity and socio-economic well-being. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of informal livelihoods in rural settings, advocating for targeted interventions to support economic resilience, occupational safety, and sustainable livelihoods.
