How do you feel about this?
What time po kau mag start magbenta? Thanks
Wow what a relief to consumers once in a while to buy products so cheap and healthy. To the government and organizations who made this event possible, the Lord will bless you richly. To the farmers, your farm will yield abundantly with quality of products. God bless Benguet, righteousness is reigning. To God be the glory forever.
Since La Top closed its stall at the Hangar Market, we could only buy our organic vegetables in La Trinidad or at the Baguio Cathedral store run by the nuns. Now the latter is closed too due to the pandemic. We have no choice but to buy inorganic vegetables that we soak in baking soda before we cook these. We also grow few organic vegetables in the garden. I hope there will be more stores selling organic vegetable in Baguio.
Thank you! To officials and the farmers.
