The family lives in the Philippines. F is 67 years old and sells fighting cocks. His wife D is 64 years old and she works in a laundry. They live with their grandchild in a rent free 1-bedroom house and have been living there for 10 years. The next big thing they plan on buying is a fighting cock. Their dream is to one day be able to open a local restaurant.

The family lives in the Philippines. F is 67 years old and sells fighting cocks. His wife D is 64 years old and she works in a laundry. They live with their granddaughter E, 14 years old, who is a student. Together, the couple works for a total of 21 hours/week. The family lives in a single-bedroom house, which they built with the help of family and friends, and is free of rent. They've been living there for the past 10 years. The house has reliable electricity but the toilet is outside the house and is shared with 4 other households. The family has to buy all their food supplies, which cost them about 90% of their income. They use wood for cooking in the kitchen. Divina spends 2 hours a week collecting water that is safe to drink from a source nearby. She also spends 10 hours a week attending to home agricultural activities and 1 ½ hour doing housework with husband’s help. The family hardly saves any money since most of it is spent on food. The last time they went on vacation was many years ago. The next thing they plan on buying is more fighting cocks. They hope that one day they will be able to fulfill their dream of opening a local restaurant.
