As a student of Civil Welfare Training Service, I was given the opportunity to survey a group of
people in a barangay. Where families earn their living by selling food and drinks. What I initially
thought would be a simple data gathering or activity become a meaningful and emotional
experience for me.

During my survey, I observed that the community’s source of income mostly comes from a small
food stalls and drink stands. These small business are essential to their survival. However, I also
learned that conflicts sometimes arise, especially when customers become intoxicated. A resident
of this survey shared that fights between drunk customers occasionally about 3 times in a week,
that happen near their stores. What I also heard is the presence of children in this resident being
exposed to such situations made me reflect deeply. Children are naturally observant and sensitive.
Witnessing fights, shouting, and physical aggression can affect their well-being and perception of
normal behavior. Instead of feeling safe in their own community, they may grow up thinking that
violence and chaos are ordinary parts of their life. As someone who value peace and proper
upbringing, I felt concerned.

Another environmental issue, that I reflected on this paper is how hazardous the area of their place
as someone who went there. The place was next to the riverside which means the residents are
ought to evacuate from the time typhoons came or as rain rises. I also wanted to include how
slippery and muddy the area can be, because the stalls are set up along this area, both customers
and residents walk through unstable pathway. Such instance, a simple push during a fight could
lead to someone slipping or getting seriously hurt. Third space is important for everyone safety.

This survey taught me that community issues are interconnected. Economic survival,
environmental condition, and social behavior are all affect one another. As a student, I may not
have all the resources to solve these problems immediately, but I have learned the importance of
awareness, empathy, and initiative. To my groups, I hope our small action could make a difference.
I hope it grows as this subject lesson, and I am grateful to be part of CWTS for giving me this
opportunity. This experience has deeply impacted me, and I am thankful for the lessons and
insights I gained from the people I surveyed.
