Abstract: This research focuses on the students who experience disasters and how it effects their studies. This study explored the lived experiences and insights of the students of Misamis Occidentall Philippines in facing disasters. The study was participated by five criminology student who experience disasters such as typhoons, earthquake etc. The participants were chosen through purposive sampling. Interview and guide questions were used in gathering the data. The study used the qualitative approach using the phenomenological design. Moustakas’ transcendental phenomenology was used in analyzing the data and came up with four meaningful themes, namely: 1 Visual Representation of Loss and Embracing Life, 2) Underlying Emotions and Meanings in Visual Images, 3) Resonance with Broader Experiences and Challenges and 4) Personal Strengths in Embracing Life. The study concludes that the student’s disasters experience is affecting their studies and mental health. The study recommends enhancing access to alternative learning modalities, such as online education platforms, can mitigate the impact of school closures.
