Abstract

This research explored personnel experiences from the Coast Guard Sub-Stations at Camotes Island, Cebu. The research study employed a qualitative phenomenological approach. It utilized an interview guide to delve into the lifeworld of Philippine Coast Guard personnel as they carry out their duties and responsibilities. The researcher’s criteria for informants are that they have at least two years of service to provide understanding of their experiences. Ten informants were engaged in the study, with six (6) involved in focused group discussions and four (4) interviewed individually. Researchers analyzed the data using the Colaizzi method and identified cluster themes and emergent themes that reflected their experiences. Based on the results and findings, eight emergent themes were identified. The themes include: Response to Maritime Emergencies, Navigating Safely, Limited Vessel Resources, Management of Passengers, Community Collaboration, Adherence to Safety Protocols, Boost Vessels, and Patience and Temper Control.
