Rice. Research. Karaoke. The Philippines! #TBT #HogsAbroad


It’s a place full of academic opportunity and fun. A country of picture worthy landscapes, scenic beaches, and exotic cuisine. A place yo meet friendly and hospitable people everywhere you go. In order to adjust to daily life, I had to take a small leap out of my comfort zone. Let’s just say, I can now bathe myself using only four gallons of water and a bucket. Mabuhay!

This experience enhanced my knowledge of data collection, data analysis, and research tools. I created a survey from scratch to conduct face-to-face interviews with 100 community farmers. This research project broadened my exposure to research tools such as Statistical Analysis System (SAS) and manual random sampling. Due to the nature of my study, I had the pleasure to work with multiple people from different departments across Visayas State University. Everybody, from university affiliates to community farmers, truly went above and beyond to make sure that I had all of the information that I could possibly need for my research.
