ABSTRACT: This study aims to shape a deeper understanding and appreciation of the rich and unique lived experiences of sampaguita vendors who sell in front of different catholoc churces in Manila. Also, the study's purpose is to be able to elicit the struggles, and challenges sampaguita vendors face a part of an informal sector. This phenomenological study was conducted through a One-to-One in-depth interview and Audio Recording. Data were gathered in the following districts in Manila: Sta.Ana, Paco, Singalong, and Quiapo. Respectively the churches names are Our Ladu of Abandoned Parish, San Fernando de Dilao Parish, St. Anthony de Padua Parish and Quiapo Church. 13 participants were gathered through a Heterogenous Purposive Sampling. The garnered data were analyzed in thematic and content manner. Results showed that social maltreatment is one of the most experienced struggle of sampaguita vendors and most them heavily rely on on their spiritual beliefs in dealing with problems but it still comes with their endurance of pain and continuing to work hard. The main motivator of such vendors, are their family and the monetary benefits they earn.
