FINAL TRUCK TO IFUGAO

Final wrap na talaga.

FINAL TRUCK TO IFUGAO. We asked the group to make a strong effort for the Tomato farmers of Ifugao, and boy did it! Andie and I are mere witnesses standing to the side, watching in awe at the goodness that the group streamed to the farmers of Ifugao and Nueva Vizcaya. 6 trucks now for one week, 23 tons of rescued Kamatis and counting. My goodness, your goodness! So many people said “Got It!”. So many people get it, that the simple way to help our troubled farmers is to buy it. Our effort may not address tomorrow but it has certainly taken care of today.

We shall do one more truck, one last effort before we move to to another group of farmers. If you were on the fence about getting Rescue Kamatis, you now know from the pictures and exultations how first class they are. The next Rescue Truck will be in Banaue on Wednesday or Thursday, dispatch the next day. Will you send your kindness to Ifugao one last time?

Read the back story:
PLEASE, PLEASE HELP OUR TOMATO FARMERS! We have got to make a strong effort this week for the farmers. We have to. Those that plant tomatoes here in the Cordilleras, they are hurting badly. You know it’s bad when the middlemen force farmers to accept payment below the cost of growing vegetables, right? You know what a catastrophe looks like? It’s this. When the middleman refuses to accept the vegetable even if the farmer is offering it for free. That’s right, free na, ayaw na nila kunin. This is what happened to Jomar Bagnade of Brgy. Ap-apid, Tinoc, Ifugao. Ang ganda-ganda pa ng kamatis niya! Naibaba na kya sa NVAT, inakyat nya ulit sa bundok, para itapon lang. Sayang na sayang na sayang! And it’s not just Jomar. This poor man is just one of hapless farmer, it’s everyone in his village that grows tomatoes, it’s every farmer in villages between Tinoc and Banaue. It’s a red swath of despair on the map, it’s a deep sense of sadness in my heart as I write this.
