This photo was taken when Rome went back to his hometown in Palawan.
Aling Inday is still an expert in balancing her bilao (circular basket) on her head, selling different kakanins all throughout Barangay New Guinlo from early in the morning until late afternoon.

Applause to this hard-working woman!
