Abstract
Sampaguita growing is becoming a communal livelihood in several rice and vegetable producing provinces in the Philippines. The making of sampaguita flower leis provides a livelihood opportunity for many marginalized households. The research on the sampaguita livelihood system aimed to determine the perceptions about livelihood risks and analyze the development processes of resilience to solve the risks. Increased capability of the sampaguita growers to understand their risks prompted a transformative type of resilience. The constructivist methodology of the research used mixed qualitative and quantitative methods to explore the constructs and meanings of lived experiences about livelihood risks and resilience processes.
