Abstract: This study aims to highlight how ecotourism is contributing additional income to low income and marginal farmers in 2 villages of Basey, Western Samar. This is a case study among the members of the Sohoton Service Association (SSA) All members were interviewed using an interview schedule in order to elicit information from them. A focused group discussion was also conducted to validate their information. SSA was organized to help in preserving the cave and in order to augment their income. There were 24 members of SSA whose majority members are women. Findings show that>50 % of the members of SSA were earning an average of PhP500.00 per month from ecotourism while 6 or 31.6% were earning a maximum of PhP1000.00. Three respondents claimed that they were earning an average monthly income of PhP2, 000.00. In terms of income contribution, majority of the respondents claimed that their work in Sohoton contributes 25-50% to their income. Only one claimed that ecotourism activity contributes the highest share of 76% of the income. However, it is estimated that approximately, 15% of their family monthly income is derived from ecotourism activities. While, ecotourism is indeed augmenting the income of the farmers in the two villages of Basey, Samar, the members of the SSA should try to create value added in their routine activities at the cave. Value adding in this case, offering additional service/features to tourists while in Sohoton Cave will increase livelihood activities of the SSA members. This will lead to higher income for their respective families, thus increasing their chance of poverty alleviation and improved living conditions. This is the truest sense of ecotourism activities: livelihood and preservation of Sohoton Cave, the natural resource.
