With her old age, she still stands in the corner of the roads of Commerce Avenue in front of Ayala Alabang to sell the rags so that she could have enough money to support her family.

No one would do this aside from her because her 2 sons were already blind because of their previous work as welder and her only daughter along with Lola Porferia Ramos' grandchildren. Because of the situations she still sacrifices so that their family will have money.
