If I had the time, I want to have my favorite Alaminos, Pangasinan and Vigan, Ilocos Sur Longanizas in Sunshine Chicken instead of pork.
I had been encouraging some people to do it. Everyone's reply was it won't be good without the fat. But that's just the point! There is definitely that sector, "the hometown garlicky taste of longaniza they love" people. They want that taste, but in a healthier version. No preservatives.
A trader should address this market. Those healthy food buffs won't buy the fatty pork longanizas anyway, so they should look into the alternative market for that huge longaniza craving, using grass fed chickens.
Vigan should open eyes to this. They have the garlic. They have that known market for longaniza. And they have a government who looks after tourism and livelihood.
Hoping to taste some Vigan Sunshine Chicken Longaniza!

My Father's Roots
After Calasiao, we headed towards Brgy Lucap, Alaminos City, Pangasinan.
Alaminos City is where the mother of my father came from. My own father grew up in the town plaza. I remember spending fiestas and summer vacations there as a kid. We went there for a meeting with some city officials.
I forgot to take pics as the fresh seafoods for dinner excited us. Nevermind, we expect to be in Alaminos City more often now.
Thursday morning, before the Alaminos meeting in the afternoon, we decided to go to Bolinao. My grandfather was from here. I hardly remember Bolinao, except for the parola and the dark nights as no electricity then.
Going now to the Lighthouse is a breeze, good roads made it near.
I am thankful I can go back to the places I took for granted as a child.
Yup....I didn't forget to haul back the favorite longganisa

Realty Taxes In Alaminos City
I had to do some errands to pay real estate taxes, first thing in the morning Monday.
One thing lead to the other...next thing we knew we were meeting with the City Administrator, City Agriculturist and City Veterinarian.
Premature to talk about the meeting now, but the brewed coffee and galapong na bibingka were so good. Hmmmm....seconds weren't offered :(
Hope to see some i-NANI sa ALAMINOS soon.

Maawi Organic Farms Meets Zac Sarian
After Zac Sarian's interest in our Sunshines, capons and Zacsess stories :), we had been visiting our regular growers.
Farm visit #2 is Maawi Organic Farms in Alaminos, Pangasinan.
Very close to my heart, as Alaminos is where my roots started.
After the radio program and breakfast, March16...as Zac entered the vehicle, he asked in jest to make sure that there was an AM radio working. Why? Boxing! We didn't stop for meals, got to Lucap when the bout was on it's last two rounds, so we stayed inside the car :)
Good thing we knew who won....then we had lunch of assorted inihaw of seafoods and of course Alaminos longganisa. There was no arorosep. It would have been perfect.
Headed to Maawi Farms of Jocelyn and David. As usual, I documented the farm visit...taking photos of the picture takings and interviews.
The vegetables and fruits are grown organically, so are the Tilapias. We spent a lot of time under the shade of the trees and taking in fresh air.
Next stop was where the Sunshines are...before the sun sets :)
First batch of Maawi was in April2007, loading 1000 regularly. Since they were neophytes and not based in the Philippines when they started, they didn't have any market for their dressed chickens at that time.
I encouraged them to dress the males and keep the females. For one, the males were heavier and commanded a higher price. But the best reason was #2.....they will be the only ones who will have eggs from ranging Sunshines come October2007, perfect time for the Agrilink2007.
As we were talking last weekend, she saw the light to that difficult first steps in marketing and that yes, she is the only one now with eggs from ranging Sunshines, on commercial quantity. They are now thankful that her 2nd batch of layers have started to drop.
Now supplying several hotels, delis and restaurants with her organic fruits, vegetables, dressed chickens and of course eggs.
Watch out for farm visit #3
