Using a qualitative research, specifically phenomenological research design, we explored the experiences and philosophical beliefs of five selected social science college professors in one of the top tier university in the Philippines. They were chosen based on their time and venue availability, convenience, and willingness to participate in sharing their teaching experiences and philosophical views of man. In-depth oral interviews guided with a semi-structured questionnaire were utilized to five participants, and data were analysed using Giorgi and Giorgi's [28] descriptive phenomenological psychological methodology. This method is useful in describing one's experiences being lived through phenomenological psychological analysis of data. Findings revealed commonalities and differences in terms of participants' before and during teaching experiences. Likewise, studies have shown that some participants have shared the same philosophical views of man, unhealthy and healthy individual, its change process, as well as teachers and students' role and learning activities. It was also revealed, however, that some social science college professors described man in different perspectives which were influenced by their experiences and philosophical viewpoints. This paper is geared towards the development of philosophical framework in education which will serve as foundation of understanding whether their experiences and philosophical beliefs impact the way they perceive the role of teachers, students, and what and how they implement learning activities for the purpose of teaching and learning.
