CBR: Capturing Beyond Research

     This photoblog is about our journey in doing Community-Based Research. It’s not just about the work but also the experiences, challenges, and memories we made along the way.

  

Planning our Research Topic

           When we were given our research category, we immediately brainstormed ideas on where to focus our study. We discussed which community to explore and where to gather data. In the end, we chose the whole of Vigan, as the Longganisa Festival isn’t tied to a specific barangay but represents the entire city.

         

Doing and Finalizing our CBR Paper

            After deciding on our topic, our leader, Demie, fairly assigned each of us a part to work on. We then gathered the necessary information and planned the flow of our paper. Finalizing it wasn’t easy—we faced challenges along the way—but with teamwork, we managed to complete it, get it ready for printing, and prepare it for submission.

      

Interviewing Our Respondents

         Here, we interviewed the locals of Vigan about their experiences during the Longganisa Festival. We asked about their opinions on the festival and how it impacts them as Bigueños. It was great to hear their stories and see how much they value our arts and culture.

                      

Creating and Finalizing our Webpage Design

            After finishing our CBR paper, we moved on to designing our webpage. None of us had any background in coding, so it was our first time tackling this. It was a challenge, but with teamwork and watching tutorials, we pushed through and finally completed it.
