 This abstract provides a concise overview of the research's scope, 

methods, key findings, and implications. It focuses on the significance 

of the elderly's contributions during the pre-colonial period and the 

importance of street vendors in urban supply chains. The study 

emphasizes the valuable role of the elderly in passing down traditions 

and their impact on various institutions. Additionally, it highlights the 

essential role of street vendors, market traders, and porters in providing 

goods and services within urban environments. The abstract concludes 

by underlining the significance of acknowledging the contributions of 

both the elderly and street vendors for societal development. 
 

 

Introduction 

 During the pre-colonial period, the elderly became a source of wisdom; the traditions they kept and passed them 

were then adopted by younger generations and treating them as a good example. That’s why their contributions 

to enhancing the country’s institutions, such as government, family, education, and religion, must and cannot be 

ignored (Carlos, 2019). 

Women Informal Employment Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO, 2020) stated that street vendors  are one of 

the most important when it comes to the street; market traders and market porters provide necessary goods and 

services, especially they give easy access if people want to buy something or people are in a hurry. Those who 

sell food, both fresh food, and prepared food, are an essential part of urban supply chains. They can give a lower 

price when it comes to their product.  

Furthermore, the Philippines was identified as one of the countries with an aging population aged sixty and above. 

And senior citizens tend to have higher rates of various diseases concerning medical conditions and comorbidities, 

as well as mental health issues like Alzheimer's and other psychological illnesses for the elderly. They are less 

active compared to younger age groups. However, the government has various legislations and is implementing 

various social protection programs for senior citizens who are still old citizen street vendors in Rizal turned to 

plant sellers (Andrade, 2020). When enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) started in March, the senior citizens 

lost their income from selling pork barbeque and chicken in the street of Tanay Public Market. Also, they have 

issues with their mental health because of their age. After a long time, street vendors for the past 15 years now

turn to selling ornamental plants on the roadside to survive, and as a result, senior citizens suffer from anxiety 

and depression, and some lose hope to live. 

According to the statement of Villar, Serrat, and Pratt (2021), research on later-life generativity has facilitated a 

new view of senior persons that, far from the traditional images of the disabled possibility of dependency and 

weakness, recognize their capacities and the opportunity to continue growing while underlining their participation 

and contributions to families, communities and society. Also, it was stated that Erikson's theory about stagnation 

vs. generativity was thought that the stage of generativity, during which one organized a family and career, was 

extended all the steps.  

Moreover, this study explores the experiences and challenges senior citizens’ street vendors face. Thus, it aims to 

enlighten the needs of the Filipino senior citizen community amidst the different struggles in the country. Also, 

evaluate their current psychological well-being. Working, such as PhilHealth, retirement benefits, and pensions 

through SSS and GSIS for senior citizens (Reyes et al., 2019). Thus, to survive the pandemic 

Research Questions  

This study will explore the lived experiences and challenges senior citizen street vendors face. This study sought 

to provide answers to the following questions:  

1. What are the lived experiences of senior citizen street vendors?  

2. What are the challenges faced by senior citizen street vendors?  

3. What are the coping mechanisms of senior citizen street vendors?  

Methodology 

This study employed Heideggerian phenomenology to explore the participant's lived experiences. 

Participants of the Study 

This study comprised twenty (20) senior citizen vendors as its participants. Thus, the participant in this study is a 

current resident of Bulacan, Philippines. 

Instrument of the Study 

The researchers utilized a structured interview guide that was planned to bring out the Senior citizen street 

vendors' lived experiences and challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a panel of professionals validated 

it’s Following validation, the interview was designed into three factors of the participants' lives that are attached 

in the following: (1) lived experiences as Senior citizen street vendors; (2) challenges faced as Senior citizen 

street vendors; and (3) coping strategies of Senior citizen street vendors.  

Data Collection Process 

In some situations, building an emotional connection between the researchers and the participants is necessary. 

In the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, rapport-building may be difficult. On the other hand, it was specified 

by developing a feeling of combined dependence among participants and providing support about their situations, 

terminology, and aesthetic settings.  

Participants were presented with a consent form to ensure obedience to legal requirements. Each participant got 

the interview forms copy, along with a consent form explaining the process and asking for permission to record 

and transcribe the full interview. 

It was decided that the interview guide would consist of fifteen (15) questions that may run up to thirty(30) 

minutes. The participants were instructed to voice any clarifications, problems, or confusing questions after the 

opening situations of the meeting as a result of any technical breaks that may occur. Following a hard copy of the 

structured interview and extensive transcription, the analysis was conducted to make sense of the information 

acquired. The interview transcription contains the precise verbatim responses of each participant to any 

uncertainty about the data collection's contents.

Ethical Considerations  

Legal considerations have been made for every step in numerous investigations and research. One of the most 

crucial components of research ethics is informed participation. Rules mandating informed consent have been 

issued to safeguard the human subjects participating in research. Notifying potential research participants of the 

significant components of a study and what is included allows them to choose if they would like to participate. 

The participants must not be affected in any way by the interview procedure, whether on purpose or incidentally 

(Gupta, 2013). The participants also have the option to withdraw from participating if any unexpected event may 

require them to do so. In compliance with the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (DPA), officially known as Republic Act 

No. 10173, this study intends to safeguard participants' private and public information. Input from participants 

will remain confidential and will not be used for other purposes outside the study.  

Data Analysis Procedure  

This  study  utilized  the  Interpretative  

Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), developed on the modified Van Kaam technique made well-known by 

Moustakas. This type of analysis is also suitable, especially in a study wherein the researchers examine detailed 

responses from the participants, including their lived experiences, challenges, and coping mechanisms. The 

transcripts of the interview, which contain participants' actual words or verbatim, will be carefully reviewed and 

analyzed. Furthermore, data saturation will be met when no new information is found through data analysis; when 

that happens, it alerts researchers that they may need to stop collecting data (Hancock et al., 2016).  

Results and Discussion  

This section presents the analysis of data gathered after following an intricate procedure. The following themes 

were identified in this research based on the data collected. It needs to expose the three pieces: (1) Golden Years, 

(2) Socially Connected, and (3) Unknown Journey.  

Golden Years  

No words can describe that selling in the streets was physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting, mainly 

when none of the merchandise was sold. Participants said that trading on the roads is only one of the ways for 

them and their families to survive daily—a strong body and resourcefulness to obtain the strength that can be used 

in their situation. Avoiding having a good result from the hardships you are going through is never possible. 

According to the participants, despite their old age, they still have strong and healthy bodies. According to Sepadi 

and Nkosi (2022), the workplace of senior street vendors was exposed to many risks that may affect their health 

and well-being. Non-enclosed stalls and frequent use of open fires were among the risk concerns. Street vendors 

are vulnerable to gastrointestinal diseases and respiratory infections such as influenza and COVID-19 due to a 

lack of water access, waste disposal facilities, and essential hygiene awareness and practices. Because of open 

areas, senior vendors have an exposure to air pollutants, which increases the risk of respiratory and the lack of 

clean restrooms may cause urinary illnesses, which will result in a significant impact on reproductive health, 

especially of the female street vendors.  

The consciousness of lifestyle. The interviewer asked about how participants maintain their health as senior 

citizens, especially their selling on the street. Most participants had the same answers as Participant 11. She said 

she only eats vegetables and doesn't like to eat fatty foods.  

"Umiiwas ako sa mga mamantikang pagkain tsaka  

noon pa man anak, gulay lang talaga ako mahilig. " 

Many senior citizens struggling with poverty, also less economically active as a sector, and need more excellent 

health services and social pensions; however, a 68-year-old semi-retired nursing professor from

Auburn, Georgia, answered to the news that “I sound like one of those crazy miracle stories, but I was diagnosed 

with fibromyalgia for about 20 years, and I had much chronic pain, about six months into being vegan, I realized 

I no longer had pain.” once said being vegan diet had a positive impact on her health. That's why senior citizens 

decided to be vegan, due to the news article (Grady Journal, 2019).  

They were trained throughout their lifespan. The interviewer asked the participants about their health. Most 

of the participants gave the same answers as Participant 7. She said she felt no pain even though she was a vendor.  

"Sa awa ng poong maykapal anak, wala. Dahil bata palang batak na ako sa pagtatrabaho."  

According to articles on Assisting Hands (2021), senior citizens are indeed aging; seniors are adapting to changes 

and circumstances and want to continue contributing to society as a whole. Moreover, the elders want to be an 

essential part of the communities they live in through the work and strength they have. Some research evidence 

shows that many seniors remain productive and creative well into their golden years. Vitality in the older 

population is inherent in them remaining valued members of their families, communities, households, and 

workplaces, especially on the streets.  

Socially connected 

Social connection for seniors is critical, as it plays a vital role in their physical, mental, and emotional health. 

Senior citizens, especially street vendors, have a solid social network, and hey also have a better way of life 

(Nursing home abuse center, 2021).  

Psychological aspect. The interviewer asked the participants about the things that make them happy while selling 

if they have friends in their store, and how they help them with their problems while selling products in the streets. 

Most of the participants gave the same answers as Participant 2. She described that;  

"Nako oo, marami! nalilibang ako, nawawala ang stress ko sa pagtitinda ko kase marami ako dito na nakaka 

kwentuhan tsaka kahit maghapon na nakaupo dito Hindi ka nabuburyo, di tulad sa bahay malungkot."  

Lack of human connection and loneliness shows in many research. It can be more harmful to one's health than 

obesity, high blood pressure, and smoking. Moreover, in this era, humans live busy lives striving to maintain a 

balance at work, school, self-care, house chores, and family connections. The result of research revealed that 

social connection could lower depression and anxiety, especially for senior citizens; it regulates and helps to 

regulate the emotions of older adults; this kind of connection can higher self-esteem and  empathy and, lastly, can 

improve the immune system of individuals (Canadian mental health association, 2019). 

Experiences in life while selling. When the interviewer asked the participants about their situation and asked if 

they had encountered any abuse from other people and what their expertise faced, some of them had the same 

answers as Participant 14:  

"Meron akong na experience na pinasok ang  tinutulugan ko kasi nakatulog ako lahat ng I'D na importante 

natangay kase nasa bag yon pero buti lahat ng pera hindi nasama kase yung iba naipit ko sa   

ilalim ng hinahangaan ko nung oras nayon."  

According to Garder and Garger (2020), a 72-year-old street seller in Harlem passed away Tuesday night after 

confronting a suspect who had stolen a hat from his stall. Near the street elderly victim was knocked to the ground 

amid a struggle with the robber, according to sources. The victim again fell to the ground shortly after wrestling 

with the attacker, and onlookers reportedly dialed 911. Moreover, the police arrived at the exact time. And 

discovered the man on the street. Authorities said that Emergency Medical Services transported the man to Harlem 

Hospital and he was declared dead. The city medical examiner's office will determine the man's cause of death. 

Also, authorities said the thief escaped and was still at large Tuesday  night. 

Unknown journey

According to an article from Emoha blogs (2020), many seniors undergo trial and error after retiring in quest of 

new meaning and purpose. This is a regular procedure that is essential for enjoyment in later life. It is possible to 

achieve this new way of living a fulfilling life through several activities, projects, and objectives, all of which 

have relative and individualized meanings and purposes. There are options available to any senior looking for 

meaning and purpose, even while what works for some seniors may only work for some.  

Covid-19 is real! The interviewer asked the  participants about their situation during a pandemic and how to find 

money to provide for their necessities during the lockdown. Some of them have the same answers as Participant 

12: "Wala, umaasa kami sa bigay lang ng mga anak namin. Simula mag pandemic. Kung ano ang inaabot nila 

yun lang."  

Changes in everyday life were changed. With the COVID-19 epidemic still in its early stages, this research offers 

new qualitative evidence on the coping mechanisms of senior citizens. The results can guide community and 

clinical interventions for older adults that use healthy coping tools like physical activity, routine modifications, 

and social support to enhance physical and mental health, promote social support and promote meaningful daily 

activities during stressful or traumatic times (Finlay et al., 2021).  

Conclusion  

Based on the research findings, the following conclusion was discussed: These senior citizen street vendors still 

struggle with financial issues. The changes in their behaviors and the actions of senior citizens result in working 

on the street for the needs of their families. However, this goal affects their physical, emotional, and psychological 

health and rights as adults because of what they face and do on the streets to provide for the family's needs and 

expenses. However, it can be said that some senior citizens who are street vendors are healthy and strong because 

the elderly prefer to eat healthy food rather than fatty snacks. However, their mental state was unhealthy because 

of the problems they encountered in everyday life.  

Furthermore, senior citizens who have been still exposed to the street for selling products are likely to exhibit 

illness, food shortage, lack of access to financial and health care support, especially mental health Such as 

Alzheimer's disease, depression, isolation, affective and anxiety disorders, dementia, and so on due to their 

surroundings. As their coping mechanism, these senior vendors tend to hold onto their dreams for their families 

and pray to keep fighting for their life's struggles. Resting at home and chatting with fellow street vendors is also 

one of their coping mechanisms to avoid the stress they encounter. Lack of ideas about their problems, assistance 

on how to cope with it, support from family and relatives, and health assistance, especially their mental health 

problems, are seen in this research.  

Moreover, it is highly suggested that the government should enhance and strictly monitor the existing program 

that focuses on supporting mental and physical health issues and senior citizens' safety and financial needs.
