A construction in progress in the Municipality of Consolacion, in the Philippines. It is interesting. While many Filipinos and other nationals feel that there is a world economic slowdown, there is no let up in the construction of big residential buildings like this in the municipality of Consolacion.

In order to cope up with the difficult economic times, Filipinos have become more creative. The motorcycle had become now a means for livelihood. Passengers take the motorcycle back ride, along with their items for a fare of P10 per person.

This motorcycle service system is able to sustain the driver, his daily budget for food and has provided employment for those, who are not hired by companies for lack of positions for drivers. Many Filipinos in the barrios and small communities make use of their ability to drive motorcycles as a means of livelihood. This is a typical day in the municipality of Consolacion.

The more enterprising Filipinos opened a small store, better known as the Philippine neighborhood assorted “sari-sari” store. This store has a capitalization of P3,000.00 and it is able to sustain the owner its daily budget for food.
