  Most people here are self-sufficient. Fishing and other marine products are the major source of income, fish drying and other curing of sea denizens follows second. Beach fronts and foreshores are mostly converted to fish drier/Fish Flake or curing rows/hand flake (Tagalog:bilaran). Mangrove-made barn houses called boat shed (Tagalog:kamalig) were mostly found near the shore use for smoked fish curing and a type of fishmeal processing called fish hydrolysate(Tagalog:dyako). It also became a major business of some natives. Fish meal processing of bycatch contributes extra income to fishermen, where it is sold by heaps or kilograms to fish meal processor(Tagalog:magdyadyako) . 
  Mid areas of barangay are now reclaimed but coastal edges are constantly shrink by frequent typhoons that visit the region. Declined in catches and the profitability of trawling during the 50s spawned other type of fishing activity - the "Basnig" or Bagnets. During the period 1959-63 “Basnigan” made most number of fishing landings here and had made Ragay Gulf the “Basnig fishing ground” of nearby provinces like Camarines Sur, Sorsogon and Cavite.  The advent of two-strokes engine trawlers and Dredge Fishing (i.e. Kuto-kuto, Galadgad and Norway(trawlers) make way to new fishing system during the 80s. Crabs and shrimps fishing (i.e. Bubo, Sakag and Mangingilaw) minimal activity are declining but still use today. Late 90s, Republic Act No.8550, Section 90,The Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998 mandated the ban of active fishing gears in municipal water, it brought downsides to sea dependent cultures of Manlayo. Descendants of old fishing multitude strive to work overseas while some struggle to cities like Lucena and Manila.
  Gradually, people are moving to land based work and participate to growing land passenger transportation business in adjacent poblacion of Guinayangan. Today numbers of successful professionals who were fishermen descendants are contend to alter their fate by working abroad and later returning to their roots, building their houses locally and enjoying annual barrio fiesta.
