<br/><br/> I. ABSTRACT<br/><br/>The transition to hybrid learning has been fraught with difficulties, particularly for working college<br/>students (Bashir et al., 2021). This Hermeneutic Phenomenological study attempted to describe<br/>and interpret the lived experience and the emerging lifeworld of working college students amidst<br/>hybrid learning. Data were investigated from seven college students through interviews,<br/>observations, and documentary analysis. They were purposely selected provided they were<br/>currently enrolled and employed part-time in any food industry in Cavite, Philippines. The study<br/>revealed 47 significant statements constituting eight emergent themes, which include: 1)<br/>Maintaining the School-Work Balance, 2) Keeping Abreast with Technology Trends, 3) Social<br/>Engagement: A Pathway to Progress, 4) Learning Has No Limits, 5) Tired but Still Inspired, 6)<br/>Self-Motivation is Essential to Success, 7) Faith to Walk with God, and 8) A Determined Soul is<br/>Unstoppable. These themes were then organized according to essential elements of a lifeworld,<br/>such as relationality, corporeality, spatiality, temporality, and materiality. In turn, these themes<br/>were used to develop a list of best practices articulated by the participants. The implications were<br/>discussed, further recommendations were made for working college students, and suggestions for<br/>future research.
