In their household livelihood strategies, Filipino farmers and fishermen mainly aim at reducing daily risks by one way or another. Their behavioural system for this purpose has its origin in precolonial social system of maritime Southeast Asia, based on its own "indic idea of power". This system indeed reduced risks in daily life in precolonial era. On the contrary, modern capitalist system, which the modernisation has introduced in this region, multiplies risks among them and fixes economic inequality.
