520	3		_aFood security is a challenge in developing countries like the Philippines. Among those who are mainly affected are the indigenous and marginalized sector. In the country, Badjaos (Bajau) are one of indigenous and minority groups who are maritime people having traditional practices livelihood. Due to exploitation of coastal homes and hostilities from different forces, most are dispersed in urban locations losing their livelihood in the sea. Conducted studies showed poverty, poor education, and hindrance to health access are alarming factors in this community. Assessing the food security in this community is essential since they belong to the marginalized group. The respondents of this study were the 80 households of the Badjao Community in Barangay 75-A, Matina Aplaya, Davao City. Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) was utilized for the assessment of the household food security. Also, in analyzing the data, Ordered Logit Regression was conducted in explaining the relationship between variables. Results showed the prevalence of food insecurity with 9% very insecure, 69% food insecure, and 22% somewhat food secure. The determined factors that affect food security were: sex, receives food from help neighbors, provide food help from neighbors, limit portions at meal times, and eat less preferred food. In qualitative analysis, perception is mostly limited on the availability of food, ability to eat a day, and having money to buy food not taking into account food safety and quality of food for a healthy diet. Hence, the perceived barriers were economic constraints and weather disturbances. Thus, promoting awareness about the Badjao Culture, accessible education, skills, livelihood trainings, nutrition programs, and financial literacy could help address the problem of food insecurity in this community.
