Harvest Festival in Inagawan

We are grateful to witness and to become part of the Harvest Festival in Bgy. Inagawan, Puerto Princesa City.

Our lowland farmers are truly heroes during this time of pandemic. Their eagerness to contribute to our local economy’s food supply is fueled by their passion to see a healthy community all over Puerto Princesa.

Hectares of land planted with rice, eggplant, okra, chili, banana, and tomatoes are so abundant in this community. The bulk of these types of vegetables sold in the city market comes from their daily and weekly harvests.

Upcycled Plastics from Wastes

Would you believe that these sturdy and high-quality products are made out of plastics collected by our waste pickers or Eco Warriors?

Yes, these plastic garbages are collected daily from households and business establishments all over Puerto Princesa. This effort actually saves our environment, especially our ocean from further damage and contamination.

You can inquire from our Eco Kolek Project on how you can participate in this great initiative.

Onwards to a Smart City

We are thankful for #DOSTMIMAROPA for their relentless trust on our advocacy to uplift the lives and help our community of informal waste pickers within the island of Palawan, and also for picking us an audience on the Smart City consultation.

It was a meaningful meeting with other stakeholders for the smart city and we are grateful to participate in this focused group discussion as an innovator in development.

We look forward to see our iterative step realize its clear goals within this year together with DOST and other partners.

This multi stakeholders approach with our beloved partners like the USAID #CleanCitiesBlueOcean, City Government of Puerto Princesa and TESDA was born out of compassion of these agencies towards our beloved community based leaders.
