    Camote tops (The leaves of sweet potato) is harvested daily and sold per bundle in the market. Before summer, they dig out the fruit of the crop and sell it. This is the only time they could sell or eat the crop since the plant would die once they've dug it out.

Some of the kids go to the nearest public school. Views[217] A resident, along with his daughter, still scavenge for metal and recyclable junk to make a living. Views[195] You could still see the long history of this mountain through big patches of waste beside the where the plants grow. Though they plant and harvest, some of them could not leave scavenging since the money they make from selling their produce is not enough. Views[245] A former dump site turned into a sort of farm, it's a source of livelihood for its tenants. It is named Smokey Mountain because when the weather is hot, it emits smoke as you can see in this photo. Views[197]
