Who sells taho?

In the Philippines, you will normally see a taho vendor ( Magtataho) usually early in the morning ( although you will see some of them in the late afternoon and in the evening as well) walking leisurely along the sidewalk or in the middle of the road, calling out their wares to attract customer's attention.

A magtatahô carries two large aluminum buckets that hang from each end of yoke. One of the buckets (the larger one) carries the tofu base; the other, smaller bucket holds the arnibal and sago "pearls".

What is taho?

According to Wikipedia, taho is a Philippine snack food made of fresh soft/silken tofu, arnibal (brown sugar and vanilla syrup), and pearl sago (similar to pearl tapioca).
