Isulan & Senator Ninoy Aquino
Province of Sultan Kudarat
We visited the coffee capital of the Philippines to learn from award-winning producers and young farmers of Senator Ninoy Aquino in Sultan Kudarat. We learned so much from visiting the different farms of Rey John Basco, Denz Bert Deramos & Junerd Ambay in SNA. We were able to see the different farming techniques employed by these young farmers in ensuring production volume and quality. This trip inspired us to do better for our program and we hope to emulate the practical sustainable applications in ZDS.
To the entire Provincial Government of Isulan, Gov. Datu Pax Ali Mangudadatu and Lutayan Mayor Datu Yassin Mangudadatu, to our tour guide who led us all the way to the hinterlands of SNA, Mayor Rafael George Flauta III and his team, to Maam Rebecca Gacayan, Rey John, Denz & Junerd, from the bottom of our hearts and lungs, thank you very much. We look forward to a strengthened connection through our common crop-- robusta coffee. ❤️
Thanks to Cong. Joseph Cabardo Yu for allowing us to experience Kape sa SNA SK firsthand, in the origin. ❤️
