Social Enterprise in the Time of Pandemic 41 appears to be designed for middle-class families who usually have enough money to buy their basic necessities in bulk and can therefore consistently schedule their trips to establishments outside their houses around this restriction. The key informants not only revealed that this rule is too constraining considering their socio-economic conditions, but also observed that the implementers of the rule subjected them to processes of interrogation which are unnecessary and cumbersome. A widow, Bea belongs to a household of twelve people, comprised of her children and their spouses and five grandchildren. According to her, she prefers that they all stick together, all crammed in one small house, so she can closely watch over her family. Every meal, the household consumes three kilograms of rice. With the sudden stoppage of her work at Igting for one month, she had to figure out how to make both ends meet to support her family. The household had to pool their resources such as the SSS pension of her deceased husband and the salary of her son who is working in Quezon City.
