The government has put to used the natural found there in previously log over for wood production, used for grazing cows, extract mineral resources, reforestation projects and now sustainable used of its natural resources and rehabilitation of the environment.
The main livelihood in the area was fishing, but way back before when the area is used to be a military training site and large ships take cover against the storm in the area, barter is common from the locals, they trade in animals, can goods, food supplies, to fish and eventually sell the fish in the market. Some go for charcoal making and before in 1970's some work in the mining area. And others in times of testing of the different armaments of the military the locals would collect the gun powder of those explosives that have not ignited, its a dangerous and crazy thing to do “catching bombs”.
Silanguin has been a hiding place from storm by cruisers neither small or large boats, fisherman or explorers. Its a perfect place to take shelter from heavy storms, the tall mountains block the strong winds and the land masses protects the inner portion from harsh waves.
