This article examines how patron-client relationships deepen into relations of pity, obligation, and dependency through rural neighbourhood stores. Based on ethnographic research on Palawan Island, I examine relations between Tagbanua and their store-owning neighbours in order to consider firstly, how social differentiations of class and ethnicity are reproduced through stores, and secondly, the role of these stores in the reproduction of contending moral claims regarding the foundational basis of this inequality. I suggest that what is being debated can be understood in terms of a right to provision. In drawing on this case study, I argue that the right to provision allows us to consider how the right to provide is bound within claims about the right to be provided with the conditions that make viable provision possible. Shopping in the rainforest, therefore, concerns the moral claims central to how a person can make a living and live with others
