According to Moreno, she makes ice candy to sell at their small sari-sari store. She makes 1 casserole of mango ice candy and another of buko. Each casserole makes around 165 pieces of ice candy which she sells for Php5 each. She sells the ice candy for a total of Php825 per flavor, earning Php400 per flavor. Thus, she earns Php800 for the two flavors.

Her story was met with skepticism, however, because many believe it was impossible for her to sell out over 300 pieces of ice candy per day. But others defended her, saying she probably has a store by the road that has lots of foot traffic and supportive neighbors – and her ice candy probably tastes really good!
