College Students Lived Experiences on Separation from Parents: A Phenomenological Study

In the current world, an overseas Filipino worker has taken on heroic qualities. In order to earn a big salary and support their families, OFW parents risk their lives by working abroad. The study aimed to determine whether the perspective, emotions, and relationships of college students with their OFW parents affected their academic achievement. Nine (9) college students who had spent at least ten years apart from their OFW parents were interviewed using a qualitative thematic analysis. Facebook was used in the study’s snowball sampling procedure to find volunteers. Focus group discussions (FGD) and interviews with structured research interview questions were both employed by the researcher to collect data.
