The issue of how vegetable farmers are at the losing end of the deal seems like forever ano.

Thanks. The issue of how vegetable farmers are at the losing end of the deal seems like forever ano. Seems like naging kuntento tayo noon sa “Bahala na kung tumama”.

Hope they really pursue this though and not just NATO (No action, talk only). Thanks.

The question of who controls the veggie price was and still an issue at the moment. And of course everyone of us knows the middlemen and the vegetable mafia from Divisoria sets the price of one kg of cabbage or wombok, which are some of the big causes of the farmer not being able to set the price of his own produce. Hope Governor Fongwan will look into this. This reminds me when I was in Buguias some years back when I was younger he he.

Maybe I should do a post on that. Thanks. Hi anonymous,

In the case of Benguet’s vegetable farms, it will take a lot of decades and natural farming for the land to “breath and have life-giving qualities again.” What with the the pesticide used for decades etc.

Hopefully they will realize that its a mutually assured destruction if they continue to do what they're doing. <br/><br/>Speaking of opium, I wonder whatever happened to our lola who unintentionally planted it.

Hi Lovelyn,
Sayang ano, to think that they could have implemented it pala as early as the 80s. Ay naligat adi nga talaga ti biyag gardinero especially now na bihira ang tatama ang kanilang apit.

Let’s hope that he will really follow through with this one. thanks.
