    This paper, which used phenomenology as a research design, described the lived of persons with disabilities in the Municipality of Naguiliian, La Union as they are wishing to have a normal environment in any aspects like a normal one. Purposive sampling was used in the selection of the participants. Structured interview was done to collect the data. Cool and warm analyses were used in analyzing the responses of the participants. The main challenge that most of the PWDs are encountering is to be financially stable and to look for a permanent job. Similarly, being bullied at the school and in the workplace is another challenge. While key informants are having fear in going to school because they will be bullied. On the same parameter they have also fear in courting because of their disabilities. Some of the key informants are still rejected on their own families and in applying for a job. Because of their disability also they were rejected at school. The main source of motivation of the key informants are their families , friends, coworkers and God. To cope with the challenges and problems, they always think of their families and pray to God. Some are doing other things to divert their attentions and some are accustomed to it. The main supporter of the key informants are their families, friends, classmates and their selves. Acceptance of the disability of the key informants always comes first in their families . Key informants have positive outlook despite of their disabilities and they are always humble. The outcome of this study is an enhancement program that will help in the development of policies in the Municipalities of Naguilian, La Union for PWDs.
