poor in the community. Child’s father is already deceased while the mother has
abandoned him since birth thus he was taken custody by his grandmother. They get their
daily sustenance from the sari-sari store of Aling Marcela with a daily income of
Php90.00 the least.
 The house that they lived in was formerly a Coca Cola store which was given to
Chairman De Guzman, previous barangay captain of barangay 849. In which he also
granted to Aling Marcela due to their economic status. Thus they don’t pay for the rent as
well as water connection has been provided by the chairman so it is for free. Every end of
