This study aimed to explore the meaning of health and health issues experienced by mangangalakal. The researchers conducted a photovoice approach that incorporates orientation, photograph generation, in-depth interviews, focused-group discussions, and presentation of findings. After obtaining ethical clearance from DMMMSU-REC, a purposive recruitment was done. A total of 14 participants who were: (1) ages 18-59 (2) local residents (3) waste picker for over 4 years (4) dependent on scavenging and (5) owns mobile phones, agreed to participate in this study. Three themes represent health and health issues experienced by the participants: (1) Waste Pickers' Willingness for Enhancing Health; (2) Improper Behavior Towards Waste Pickers' Health; and (3) Hazardous Towards the Health yet Essential to Vitality.
