Palawan is an extremely popular tourist destination thanks to Coron, Puerto Prinsesa and El Nido.

It is also walking distance to Seafood Island so if you're craving for some fresh seafood, no worries.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">What to do in Ora Beach Resort</h2><p>You can have an island hopping tour directly booked via the hotel for less hassle, with tours starting at 1500 Php, with included environmental fees and food to be served for the day. </p><p>Ora Beach Resort is also nearby Vanilla Beach, the nearest landmark for El Nido's inland tours, just a 5 minute tricycle ride.</p><p>Or you can stay in the resort, take a dip in the pool, play a game of beach volleyball at their court, play darts, billiards or have a drink by the bar. Or you can ask to have a night of fun in their wine cellar, where you can have a taste of their best wine and relax. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Here are some of my tips and reminders when going to Ora Beach Resort</h2><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>If you're staying in El Nido, I suggest having your own snorkeling and aqua shoes so that you won't have to rent or buy in the marketplace. </li><li>Bring your own preferred conditioner and shampoo, especially if you're picky with your hair products. Toiletries are provided already by the resort though.</li><li>Tricycles to Sentro, El Nido's night life is worth 100 Php. Here you can find a lot of restaurants, bars and souvenir shops as well as other hotels and hostels.</li><li>Don't forget to buy your Cashew nut snacks in the market or the building right beside Puerto Prinsesa airport for pasalubong. They're really cheap in Palawan plus they make for great snacks while doing island hopping.</li><li>Most restaurants would prefer cash, and Maya is more prevalent in the area than GCash.

But the task ahead is still long and challenging. We are here to listen to each other and inspire each other to continue to improve cancer care for our people,” he stated, emphasizing a "whole of society" approach to the cancer fight.</p><p><br /></p><p>In his keynote address read by Philippine Cancer Center Head Dr. Alfonso Nunez III, Department of Health Secretary Teodoro “Ted” Herbosa pointed out the significant challenge cancer poses to public health and its expensive consequences. He stressed the need to educate and inform communities about health-maintaining behaviors and disease prevention.</p><p><br /></p><p>“Our endeavors covered the end-to-end spectrum of care with a strong emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention,” Herbosa remarked. “Central to our national cancer strategy is the early and regular screening measures such as sparing sufficient time for regular physical checkups. That includes breast examination, specifically mammograms, cervical screening, and many more. These services are available and accessible. Early detection saves lives by enabling timely interventions when treatment outcomes are most favorable.”</p><p><br /></p><p>Meanwhile, Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Benjamin “Benhur” Abalos, Jr. underscored the critical role that local government units (LGUs) play in integrating national guidelines with local needs as the primary implementers of healthcare policies.</p><p><br /></p><p>He aims to unite stakeholders to devise a unified plan for cancer care at the local government level, saying “We should really sit down, look at the capacity of each, harmonize everything, and do a master plan. That is what I commit to this group that we're going to do.” </p><p><br /></p><p>At the LGU level, Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte shared the city's efforts. “We are in the process of crafting the localized version of the NICCA. The city government can allocate a more significant amount of resources kapag mayroon na tayong local version of the national law. Hopefully, this can be done by the second quarter of this year,” she said.</p><p><br /></p><p>Belmonte also stated that their overarching goal is to develop and maintain a system that combines scientific advancements and practical applications into a comprehensive program aimed at reducing cancer morbidity and mortality, especially in Quezon City.</p><p><br /></p><p>The PNCS 2024, held on February 29 and March 1 at Novotel Araneta, served as a vital platform for stakeholders to collaborate and share innovations in cancer care, aiming to change the landscape of cancer treatment and management in the Philippines. </p><p><br /></p><p>By focusing on the importance of early screening and intervention for the most common cancers, the summit sought to gather collective efforts toward a future where cancer is no longer a daunting foe for Filipinos, ensuring access to necessary care and support for everyone.</p><div><br /></div>Nicole P.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16629260612652065164noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008247648124915027.post-17927482901373238052024-03-01T12:41:00.000+08:002024-03-01T12:41:02.470+08:00Top mobile service provider Globe elevates quality of voice and video call for Messenger users in the Philippines<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiykFU7JQGfPXop6D8pt9Gdrt6sb2VYxk14-5McuU_DZw2QxR06YmKuTDxac76d7K0OgcdkbwFJKDsUTFFs0gCy_NZYh-aWXXH-ruAFiF-w_EzP93Ka0SFg44tDNHgn4H6bmiQTvAzK7dk99GnHXMeRXTSEowCyZdDSdg3JbxC47bvfTZk4RMx_GyhZBdTM/s1919/image0%20(1)-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1464" data-original-width="1919" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiykFU7JQGfPXop6D8pt9Gdrt6sb2VYxk14-5McuU_DZw2QxR06YmKuTDxac76d7K0OgcdkbwFJKDsUTFFs0gCy_NZYh-aWXXH-ruAFiF-w_EzP93Ka0SFg44tDNHgn4H6bmiQTvAzK7dk99GnHXMeRXTSEowCyZdDSdg3JbxC47bvfTZk4RMx_GyhZBdTM/s16000/image0%20(1)-01.jpeg" /></a></div><br />Globe, a top telecommunications service provider in the Philippines, has teamed up with Meta to improve voice and video service quality in applications such as Messenger in the Philippines.<p></p><p><br /></p><p> <span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p><br /></p><p>By ensuring that the app and the Globe network are aligned to meet the expected quality of user experience, the collaboration has improved real-time communication (RTC) on voice and video calls for Globe users.</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p>Messenger call quality has seen a remarkable 22% improvement, with a 10% increase in bitrate and a 23% reduction in Round-Trip Time (RTT).</p><p><br /></p><p> </p><p><br /></p><p>“This marks a milestone in enhancing mobile user experience in the Philippines.

For dessert, we were served <b>Abacaxi Churrasco</b>, pineapples that had a smoky, sweet flavor, alongside some almond and coconut flour, which I would think is a sweeter version of Farofa. It was paired with coconut ice cream and a splash of Japanese whiskey topped off with lime. I personally liked this better, as it was obvious that the technique that was used to create this seemingly simple dish is artful. The taste as well is in a perfect balance, and it has a myrriad of textures but nothing overpowering.

With agriculture as a big part of the residents, their best celebrated festival is the Bambanti festival. This gives tribute to their protector of the fields and crops- the scarecrow.<p></p><p>I am super blessed to have been a part of the national media that covered the festival. One of the best highlights of this trip for me is the Bambanti Village. It is an eco-agricultural exhibit and sale held at the Capitol of Ilagan. Now, the best way to get a quick tour of what Isabela Province has to offer is by visiting the Bambanti Village that is up during the last week of January. </p><p>The village features giant scarecrow figures along with a booth filled with local agriculture products and arts for people to buy or enjoy. The booths themselves are made from local and sustainable materials. <span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>Each booth embodies a municipality by showcasing not just their local products but also their famous landmarks or sometimes even their own festivals.

The Province of Isabela is known as “The Rice Bowl of the North” and “The Corn Capital of the Philippines”. They see these makeshift, human-like objects as sentinels that help protect the farmlands, as friends of the farmers who safeguard their crops by discouraging birds to pick on their harvest of corn or rice. And every fourth week of January, the whole province lights up in vibrant colors and sounds as they celebrate this week long festival.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoMqzGnk6tlwQLxmPYMQda63A-hqllgokaxL652hyphenhyphenlcbL0vlCjdzmfb9Ypy7lbUkGtWzSXHAbV6FheabEU8KdDPgmzIUOvKPD6k4Z3pE9pxh7AJRlmzxIIDQiGc6zzlRTGz2EiEGnpgUsijhABSqosnqREb7Cfo-vXmRKRqWsOp1BcwycNKDaWYsulYpnM/s1920/Bambanti%202024%20cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1920" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoMqzGnk6tlwQLxmPYMQda63A-hqllgokaxL652hyphenhyphenlcbL0vlCjdzmfb9Ypy7lbUkGtWzSXHAbV6FheabEU8KdDPgmzIUOvKPD6k4Z3pE9pxh7AJRlmzxIIDQiGc6zzlRTGz2EiEGnpgUsijhABSqosnqREb7Cfo-vXmRKRqWsOp1BcwycNKDaWYsulYpnM/s16000/Bambanti%202024%20cover.jpg" /></a></div><p>Attending my first scarecrow festival was a completely new experience for me, it was quite the surreal experience.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Bambanti Festival </h2><p>The Bambanti Festival is a multiverse of all the festivals held in the province of Isabela. This is usually held at the Kapitolyo in Ilagan City, Isabela.This year's theme, <b><i>“Ettam ngana ta Isabela”</i></b> is an Ybanag phrase directly translating to <b><i>“Tara na sa Isabela”</i></b> or “Let's go to Isabela”. </p><p>It is a week long because there are exciting competitions that showcase each municipality and town's heritage. You have the Street Dance Competition, Festival Dance Showdown, Queen Isabela Pageant and Bambanti Festival King and Queen for starters. <span></span></p><a name='more'></a><p></p><p>They also have the <b>Bambanti Village</b> to showcase their big scarecrows and local products. You also have live performances by various local artists near the end of the week, and almost every night as well. You can also see a foodpark near the Queen Isabela Park with plenty of their best streetfood among the entrances to the Kapitolyo.</p><p>This festival has won multiple awards, from the Aliw Award for Best Festival Practices and Performance from 2015 to 2017, Aliw Award Hall of Fame in 2018 to setting a Guinness World Record in 2019. It was for the largest gathering of people dressed as scarecrows, which is counted at 2,495 and was achieved by the Provincial Government of Isabela in Ilagan, Philippines on 25 January 2019.</p><p>Vice Governor Faustino “Bojie” G. Dy III, who oversees the event, mentioned that January is a perfect time for the festival. The weather is cool, and people are still in the festive spirit after Christmas.</p><p>“This year’s celebration is our way of giving gratitude for all the blessings and welcoming the challenges ahead,” he said.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">The Bambanti Village</h2><p>The village featured giant Bambanti figures along with a booth filled with local agriculture products and arts for people to buy or enjoy. You will be welcomed and amazed by big scarecrows made from natural materials. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHRhSiVL6N-W4FhufvPBQg8IBh-exVitn7d1MuUzzh0mse7uZNMsNib_JrKP5ygsiTXjdRaSiJLaRwPT64mpXA9oL6CZpPyNvLI87CUlfmi_IkgSwLcomLhutvTzPCUJohG70nRJXLm035UAQ16tlZwTZ_pIzt8jymjnhgGLqXzQxElmsV679WG64xfIoh/s1920/Bambanti%202024%20(1%20of%203).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1440" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHRhSiVL6N-W4FhufvPBQg8IBh-exVitn7d1MuUzzh0mse7uZNMsNib_JrKP5ygsiTXjdRaSiJLaRwPT64mpXA9oL6CZpPyNvLI87CUlfmi_IkgSwLcomLhutvTzPCUJohG70nRJXLm035UAQ16tlZwTZ_pIzt8jymjnhgGLqXzQxElmsV679WG64xfIoh/w480-h640/Bambanti%202024%20(1%20of%203).JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2gLPHVXXk2uu2X5tDneug_-2DhMhIrsjo1cO6TuPjcaIyWg-tZJvp-OXjp0rpLy-UpgWzGOYiY4bpjoD19J0PLZYn6lK4bugCNMLXHmiGOiuCSZLQRexSWFNMwxPIKpI41EnYDH8-iAm5DNlviSX7kINtoFFEcr6nrzDHJtaHcqSUKi6KYhzBcSo8J1r4/s1920/Bambanti%202024%20(4%20of%2036).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1920" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2gLPHVXXk2uu2X5tDneug_-2DhMhIrsjo1cO6TuPjcaIyWg-tZJvp-OXjp0rpLy-UpgWzGOYiY4bpjoD19J0PLZYn6lK4bugCNMLXHmiGOiuCSZLQRexSWFNMwxPIKpI41EnYDH8-iAm5DNlviSX7kINtoFFEcr6nrzDHJtaHcqSUKi6KYhzBcSo8J1r4/w640-h480/Bambanti%202024%20(4%20of%2036).JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx7ZK_-GLG217RFAr4buXXya5HYdXIU7CpfqbbvqWlio3KzEgH4Thb0-6nLIfZ66rYB9GQt04cekF3LHPUq_dJp9Sa0bNDcAIxL5uqh7U-iGARtmCv4Chw962SYxe8zLutm644ipMLAfx_aQrEJlX09SxzieruaD_n8ge5sD65nzNwCI9H08uj6C3H6hys/s1920/Bambanti%202024%20(5%20of%2036).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1920" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx7ZK_-GLG217RFAr4buXXya5HYdXIU7CpfqbbvqWlio3KzEgH4Thb0-6nLIfZ66rYB9GQt04cekF3LHPUq_dJp9Sa0bNDcAIxL5uqh7U-iGARtmCv4Chw962SYxe8zLutm644ipMLAfx_aQrEJlX09SxzieruaD_n8ge5sD65nzNwCI9H08uj6C3H6hys/w640-h480/Bambanti%202024%20(5%20of%2036).JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p>Each booth embodies a municipality by showcasing not just their local products but also their famous landmarks or sometimes even their own festivals.

Not only do condominiums offer accessible payment terms and views from a higher vantage point, they are also safe and sensible. Properties provide features like round-the-clock security, well-attended reception areas, fire and sprinkler systems, and a property management group. Condominium units require little maintenance and have built-in provisions for utilities, cable, and internet which residents can opt to connect to.</p><p><span style="white-space: normal;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>All matters aside, the primary function of a condominium within the real estate industry is convenience. They allow one to live in close proximity to places of work, transport hubs, schools, hospitals, recreation centers, or within central business districts.

Among the participating exhibitors is the Philippine Alliance for Recycling and Material Sustainability (PARMS) booth that will showcase recycled and sustainable materials. </p><h3 style="text-align: left;">The trade event is also retaining its Sustainability Square, an interactive exhibitor zone where guests can learn more about the packaging industry and related processing sectors.</h3><p> To complement the area, every part of the exhibition is designed to meet corresponding and applicable SDG Goals (i.e. SDG 4 for seminars and conferences). Moreover, other sustainable practices will be observed-seminar rooms will use LED walls and projectors as backdrops, onsite registrations and sunveys will be facilitated through QR codes instead of paper, and traditional plastic badge holders will not be used.</p><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Bigger ProPak Philippines </h2><p>ProPak Philippines 2024 promises to be bigger and better as most industries and businesses go full swing after rebounding from the impact of the global pandemic. First, the trade event is diversifying into other sectors beyond food and beverage. Second, it continues to gain greater support from public and private sectors. And last, the brand reinforces its reputation among targeted visitors and businesses, who have expressed satisfaction in the previous editions </p><p>In its previous edition, ProPak Philippines gathered around 190 local and international brands and companies in a vast exhibition area(about 5,500 square meters). Over 8,000 attendees (mostly decision makers) from local and regional businesses graced the three-day trade event. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">The upcoming edition will occupy three halls (from two halls in 2023), going back to its pre-pandemic trade show scale in 2020. More than 200 exhibitors are expected, attracting an estimated number of attendees reaching over 10,000.</h2><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">What's new at the <b>4th International Processing and Packaging Trade Event for the Philippines (ProPak Philippines)</b> </h2><p>The Ingredients Pavilion will put the spotlight on the newest innovations, cutting-edge processing techniques, and trends pertaining to ingredients in food, pharmaceutical, and related industries.</p><p><b>Lastly, ProPak Philippines 2024 will facilitate over 40 seminar and workshop sessions throughout its three-day run with the goal of further helping and guiding MSMEs and entrepreneurs.

Wearing white Lingap Leads Foundation shirts and protective gear that they provided, we waded through cold, wet mud, planting seedlings with courage and perseverance. The joy of the activity was a bit of nostalgia for me when I was in the fields as a kid with my titos and titas who showed us a bit of what they did as rice farmers in Quezon before. I remembered my roots, and the day was also a reflection of deep sense of empathy for the daily struggles faced by our farmers. I couldn't help but think about the immense effort and dedication required to cultivate the food that graces our tables. Definitely, "magtanim ay di biro, maghapon ka nakayuko" and so much more. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin7CPKFs5zQS5tR8B5RjC9clWuDHmhMUOMzNwrbg0o_KVMMyzBvUh0Sy34yvW1b7L8IQ-5aix5ATALfylQsiHty3fqq40Fa41q1NlDrno_MVKCRhAYDsTZnEV2pEf4NyPppC2QQewGIZiLVX4LMJZKybVWkUVBUESvXDoBGoaXqbmS0G8KsYQzfnPfUs0I/s1440/lingap%20jackpot%20rice%20(15%20of%2050).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEin7CPKFs5zQS5tR8B5RjC9clWuDHmhMUOMzNwrbg0o_KVMMyzBvUh0Sy34yvW1b7L8IQ-5aix5ATALfylQsiHty3fqq40Fa41q1NlDrno_MVKCRhAYDsTZnEV2pEf4NyPppC2QQewGIZiLVX4LMJZKybVWkUVBUESvXDoBGoaXqbmS0G8KsYQzfnPfUs0I/w480-h640/lingap%20jackpot%20rice%20(15%20of%2050).JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgVdMqwAJld9Sq1IMc0AyXU4VLlYNZwMzLFSD9mUZ2K3mx2mDxmqLzRKLJMvb24tkQ8re6dDCf-XyfewB1HvaZULG0T6n0OyHGU4h8KrqqBDtigrPr2AnpKTX-D2v7AUWkjUkPpdB3zVR91qDBT0Eo6krL17iPJS5x1WZHF87vEwIkxURcB4CI3hiz4pl9/s1440/lingap%20jackpot%20rice%20(16%20of%2050).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1440" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgVdMqwAJld9Sq1IMc0AyXU4VLlYNZwMzLFSD9mUZ2K3mx2mDxmqLzRKLJMvb24tkQ8re6dDCf-XyfewB1HvaZULG0T6n0OyHGU4h8KrqqBDtigrPr2AnpKTX-D2v7AUWkjUkPpdB3zVR91qDBT0Eo6krL17iPJS5x1WZHF87vEwIkxURcB4CI3hiz4pl9/w640-h480/lingap%20jackpot%20rice%20(16%20of%2050).JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">On Lingap Leads, their Sustainability projects for fellow farmers and Harvesting Reverence Campaign</h2><p>The Harvesting Reverence campaign, presented by Ms. Connie Valera, was an eye opener.

In the simplicity of a meal, the potential for change unfolded.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid1kVpB6K3u3r0FnEmx7xVrFR_Sjei6RMtRf5yzs_ZdNXNT9hdKtoofGhthGSMbeVJIcKR-PmWakZCPJJznIU0K9LiCw15_LxVQp_dvkc_cntfgyW-PkCvvDcx4eykxFuePg72df_qPfaGIxGXTWme90KzmWkhntk_nTS4SiA3SdE_k6pSuH2afuRkHEzF/s1440/lingap%20jackpot%20rice%20(24%20of%2050).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid1kVpB6K3u3r0FnEmx7xVrFR_Sjei6RMtRf5yzs_ZdNXNT9hdKtoofGhthGSMbeVJIcKR-PmWakZCPJJznIU0K9LiCw15_LxVQp_dvkc_cntfgyW-PkCvvDcx4eykxFuePg72df_qPfaGIxGXTWme90KzmWkhntk_nTS4SiA3SdE_k6pSuH2afuRkHEzF/w480-h640/lingap%20jackpot%20rice%20(24%20of%2050).JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8mAIQv9tWqkIqZArUB2FoOyqQ0oKN6nNmNKvGjZAcx01ttxRzSodGfUGi7lqftKjt7_wxlk_k01GKoaFuSJVqUizp8KieQzZ4BngZrtxbBmn_yZR90TIX6VUQvGHWAamI1mwT8qtI5RMA7pP-VgQEC_1BrVY2mO61TPca4PmrhM2m2gBnA1OmLASO6_Cw/s1440/lingap%20jackpot%20rice%20(23%20of%2050).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1440" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8mAIQv9tWqkIqZArUB2FoOyqQ0oKN6nNmNKvGjZAcx01ttxRzSodGfUGi7lqftKjt7_wxlk_k01GKoaFuSJVqUizp8KieQzZ4BngZrtxbBmn_yZR90TIX6VUQvGHWAamI1mwT8qtI5RMA7pP-VgQEC_1BrVY2mO61TPca4PmrhM2m2gBnA1OmLASO6_Cw/w640-h480/lingap%20jackpot%20rice%20(23%20of%2050).JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>A locally produced rice, this is crafted from Jackpot 102 hybrid rice seeds. Lingap Leads Foundation's commitment to purchasing "palay" from independent farmers at premium rates showcased a dedication to economic growth at the grassroots level. The prototype of the Jackpot rice sack, with a per-kilo price starting at Php 65, marked not just a product but a celebration of unity, resilience, and a brighter future for our farmers. The sack itself also had names, photos and numbers of the farmers who planted said rice, so that people will have a chance to talk to them directly, giving off as well a "Farm to Table" experience. This will help our beloved farmers to grow not just their rice but their earnings as well.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAgpldfnM4KYgF7zlzKaJI9nyxuSw0r6J6DARZ5N-XaK2gCHhrQSK5oMBfdAsnEkUK-QoVb7Ozsq1DmWP1eaNIKUC8BGsZ81aR7bQ-geZ-Bk5UUZOl7o99fJ_jbDZ4aDogeAAVPgMfDjvWsxMkGzNiUfYrq3jphSSeRtUk9LFJpqx9ZFnglFcDPFGOCFal/s1440/lingap%20jackpot%20rice%20(21%20of%2050).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1440" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAgpldfnM4KYgF7zlzKaJI9nyxuSw0r6J6DARZ5N-XaK2gCHhrQSK5oMBfdAsnEkUK-QoVb7Ozsq1DmWP1eaNIKUC8BGsZ81aR7bQ-geZ-Bk5UUZOl7o99fJ_jbDZ4aDogeAAVPgMfDjvWsxMkGzNiUfYrq3jphSSeRtUk9LFJpqx9ZFnglFcDPFGOCFal/w640-h480/lingap%20jackpot%20rice%20(21%20of%2050).JPG" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Corporate Social Responsibility and Beyond:</h2><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Mr. Max Ventura of Radyo CSR </b>emphasized the significance of corporate social responsibility and commended Lingap Leads Foundation for their impactful work.</h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9rUe4215WwPy78zBa8MGo3zlyihoz4FhoAxnYDVFf0Lo2UpCMUkZRDeGud6YCVltVJdo8k4Tr5hyphenhyphensifSug0RJC5KlWgFWNVCUevhnmmMzN0BioOTIG978Z15I01cFb-7sZ3fV67ETjkEKWPwYTI5MaTqQLKbgobZokK9NtdFOnQthsOJkEpqdf4t1YWnI/s1236/IMG_20240106_131933_edit_55687583429172.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="928" data-original-width="1236" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9rUe4215WwPy78zBa8MGo3zlyihoz4FhoAxnYDVFf0Lo2UpCMUkZRDeGud6YCVltVJdo8k4Tr5hyphenhyphensifSug0RJC5KlWgFWNVCUevhnmmMzN0BioOTIG978Z15I01cFb-7sZ3fV67ETjkEKWPwYTI5MaTqQLKbgobZokK9NtdFOnQthsOJkEpqdf4t1YWnI/w640-h480/IMG_20240106_131933_edit_55687583429172.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p> He stressed the importance of stability, profitability, and sustainability for companies to contribute meaningfully.
