As students from the University of San Carlos, we participated in an activity known as community immersion. During this immersion, we conducted interviews with community members, who generously shared their personal stories and the societal issues they faced. The stories we heard deeply impacted us and increased our resolve to bring about positive change in our society. These challenges include an array of issues such as poverty, inflation, corruption, and others. These issues have had a significant impact on their lives and overall condition. Despite their difficulties, they display remarkable resilience and remain content regardless of how they are living now.
