THE GYPSY PAPAYA FARMERS OF GUINAYANGAN. We are writing on behalf of a group of brave PAPAYA farmers that are trying to help themselves. They are from the small town of Guinayangan, Quezon. When they are able to pool enough “manibalang” Papayas, they load them on a hired jeep towards Metro Manila. Their first stop is Pasig City, six hours and 250 kilometres away. They can only load as much 1,500 kilos and they can afford to rent the jeep for only two days. Any day longer, the jeep rentals will cost more than their profit from the Papayas. On a good day, they are able to sell half of their cargo. The other half they try to sell on the way back to Guinayangan by making multiple stops along the way.

Imus, Sto. Tomas, Lucena and Sariaya, so many towns. And so many hands handling, pinching and poking these Papayas, and what finally happens, lamog! These poor farmer in spite of their best effort, they always come home with 400 kilos or so unsold. Every trip is a loss, and it has been this way for months but they keep trying!
