Agri-Kapihan Jan 2008


Last Sunday saw us at the Agri-Kapihan, held every 4th Sunday of the month at DWWW 774khz's Courtyard.

Of course the Kaunlaran sa Agrikultura family was there to give support to the show's hosts: Tony Rola, Nina Manzanares-Agu (still on maternity leave) and Zac Sarian.

If you've never been to one, come and join us. You will be able to meet up with the speakers on the topic that interests you, upfront. It turns out to be a more personal seminars.

So nice when people come up and say how they enjoyed their Sunshines for the Christmas dinners and now were making purchases again for their backyards.

Ambuclao Dam



Decided to go to Baguio, Sunday...but an unexpected 3rd radio guesting delayed us. So opted for an early Monday trip.

I always look forward to going up North. Stop at S.O.U.L. Cafe is a must, too bad no Green Tea Latte available yesterday. My dealer made sure we are able to have Pinikpikan, the "killing me softly" chicken. It was really good and tasty, made more so because of her 90day Sunshine. One chicken fed 6 adults, of course we also had a big plate of pancit. The cook was her brother, who also mans the brooding area. Was he sad to make Pinikpikan?

We also saw the location in Tam-Awan of the soon to be demo farm there. You can feel the artist's air all around. We were even joking that the campfire and storytelling area is perfect for inihaw na manok or to sit around a kaldero of Pinikpikan.

We found out that the road from Benguet to Nueva Vizcaya is passable. They said it takes 5hrs, but we decided to try it anyway as Doc Rey figured that the 5hrs they noted was timed taking the bus. We passed by Ambuclao Dam! Never been there, and just hear it over the radio when it alarms Luzon about impending flood from expected water release :) After the dam, it was rough road....after about 30mins we decide to ask....the road was leading to Baguio using another route :)

Off we back tracked, we had to cross the spillway. Went up the mountains to see the dam from a scenic vantage point.

Arrived Aritao in 3.5hrs....but remember we got lost. That was a huge savings in time, relaxing winding roads, great view. We vowed to do Baguio more often and visit La Union and Pangasinan real soon.

Mid February for sure in Benguet for the much awaited seminars.

SASSO BREEDERS Jan19,2008

You know how vibes and aura tells you made the right choices after being led first to make mistakes and stumble? Well even Louis of SASSO said "the past mistakes and delays were all for the better" :)

Here is one where good vibes are strong. From group decisions, BAI permits, bank transfers.... strong chicks!!!!! Photos show our livestock brokers and my partner in-charge of our Parent Stocks with our new healthy bebes.

We used a reefer van to transport to farm, with two (2) pick-up trucks as back up, and the chick van waiting for emergency.

As usual...am the photographer.

See for yourself.

VETMED Week At BSU

Our dealer in Baguio is taking a booth and seminar slot during the Vet Med Week at the the Benguet State University, scheduled for the week of Feb 11-15.

Seminar is at 8am, Feb14.

Agri-Kapihan sa Benguet, Feb 14, 10am-12nn.

When I Am Quiet....

I was busy!

Reminds me of the wives' tale: "When the child is quiet, he may be onto something naughty or dangerous". Neither for me...was just fullybooked in terms of meetings.

Yesterday was a vacation for me. Did my personal errands the whole day. Got telephone calls though as it gets forwarded to my cellphone. Evening saw me working with my PR team, attending the 1st European Community Networking Night. Work and fun!

Today had several meetings at AANI.

Saw the landscaping being done at the booth...thank you to Pol Rubia.

Got so confused about dates..,hey...the Parent Stocks from SASSO arrives tomorrow at 10am!!!!

Tomorrow 19 Jan, 4:30am, Doc Rey will be at DZME 1530khz, Bagong Agrikultura: Agrikulturang Kay Ganda.

On Sunday, 2-3pm, listen to Pinoy Agri Kalikasan Kalusugan, DZRB 738khz.

Eat Everything Chicken

Researching on new recipes, I stumbled upon this site of Jamie.

Nothing new: minimal seasoning, use a lot of herbs to flavor, slow cooking, low fire,...it was more of validating what is tried, tested and being taught. Thing is, the fast paced race wants to forget good old cooking.

He has other great recipes. Read how the chef is excited about growing what he needs :)

Watch These

Raymond Rubia of Daily Dose Farm, shared this site with me.

Nice films....short, simple, direct...eye openers.

Sunshine Packed Tuesday

8am saw me meeting with my partners for the breeding part of Sunshines. Just touching base about our arriving 2,200 heads SASSO Parent Stocks, and plans for further expansion for the 3rd shipment of Parent Stocks.

10am was at SMX for the 2nd INAHGEN Exhibitors Meeting. I almost passed out after the dizzying super escalator ride. I can't comprehend why they would have designed something like that. It didn't look attractive, inviting, educational nor artistic. Well, you may see colors after you fall off. I actually made a phone call during the dizzy ride up. It was an attempt to get my mind off the revolting spin being felt.

2pm saw me at AANI Circle. Met with a writer for a feature in their magazine.

Early evening saw me buying some cute stuffed chicks for use at the INAHGEN booth.

"Cooking & Raising Free Ranged Chickens"

Series of free seminars are scheduled at EDSA Garden House, inside the Manila Seedling Bank, EDSA cor Quezon Ave.

One of which is...

WHAT: Cooking and Raising Free Ranged Chickens
WHEN: 16 Feb 2008, 2-5pm

Biogas For Home

PHP12,000 for the system...perfect for home, for use in place of LPG.

Been toying with the idea of recycling and Biogas.....but the procrastinator in me, still has no recycled matter from what is readily abundant...chicken manure.

Ka Pio's Biogas booth is a stone's throw away from us, we are together during the radio program on Sundays.... there is no reason not to have it.

This is Ka Pio's DO GOOD TO MANKIND. The know-how, labor and materials are more than what he is asking for.

Listen to him during Kaunlaran Sa Agrikultura over DWWW 774, 4:30-7:30, aired every Sunday.

Sunshine in Bamban, Tarlac

Sunshines are now in a farm in Bamban, Tarlac.

Let's see how this farm develops in the next few weeks.

AANI & Solraya's Sunshine

Effective today, our outlets at AANI FTI and AANI Herbal Garden and Livelihood Center will be managed and manned by the AANI Boys under Raymond Rubia of Daily Dose Farm.

AANI Herbal Garden and Livelihood Center


AANI FTI Weekend Market


Note that our contact list now carries the AANI telephone numbers, so you may contact them directly. At times when Raymond is not around, please just say you want to speak about the Sunshines.

The AANI Boys had attended the seminar last week. Since we are around weekends, they will learn more.

Doc Rey and I will still be at the AANI booths on weekends, to entertain questions, meet up with you and explain things in person. AANI will provide logistics, personnel and accept bookings.

Best thing is you are now able to go visit AANI at Quezon Memorial Circle, EVERYDAY. AANI FTI is open Saturdays and Sundays. Stocks will be available. Pricing for Metro Manila will be followed.

Raymond wants to experiment. I have full trust on his creativity :)

I kept on nagging him to fix up the landscape....

We should drink to a glass of herb juice...its organic anyway.

Kaunlaran sa Agrikultura




We had been absent for sometime during the Sunday, Kaunlaran sa Agrikultura of DWWW 774.

Today, as I was driving to DWWW, I mentioned to Doc Rey..... "feels like going home"!

Nina is still on maternity leave. Zac, the bunso, is sick (kulang sa Chakara tea).

It was Ka Pio's bday. But birthday or not, the group is always in a jolly and eating mood. The best parts are during station IDs when everyone engages in small talks.

The EDSA Garden House team was there, Pearl and Adela. Guest for today was Dir Adora of BFAR who talked about Mariculture Parks.

I took photos from where I was sitting. Note that the food was on our side :)

The first run of our info-ads for national radio was done today.

Info-Ads 1-3

We are doing a series of informative advertisements for our radio media.

Meant to tackle the frequently asked questions....Listen to what we have now.


I have to thank Kathy who does my radio ads, and my Frank Ghost Writer, who edits for me. Funny that he said I sort of scold when I reply.

Department Of Agriculture Region 5

We have been sending Sunshines to DA-Region 5, in coordination with the office of Congressman Luis Villafuerte.

Successive shipments show that they are happy with quality.

A free seminar is being scheduled in the area.

You may coordinate with the DA in your area for information on Sunshines. Whatever region you are, just ask your local DA.

Dispersals by DA-CAR, Free Seminar February

The dispersal of Department of Agriculture-CAR for the Hunger Mitigation Program, of 5000+ Sunshine Chicks, had been awarded to our dealer in the area.

A free seminar is scheduled about the 2nd week of February, in Baguio. More like 14Feb :)

Everyone will be welcome to attend. Will post details once final.
