During the Rosita program, the Soldiers could interact and communicate with the residents. Despite their financial constraints, the Soldiers used their own pocket money to buy and use the products for daily food. This personal sacrifice of the Soldiers to help the residents' economy is a testament to their commitment, making the sellers feel valued and the people think of the Soldiers' dedication.
