presented by Dr. Arturo Bayocot, Department of EducationRegion 10 (DepEd-10) director, in a press briefer Wednesday. “Even VP (Vice President) Sara (Duterte-Carpio) said all (public) schools will do face-to-face by November; we are allowed to implement it ahead of schedule as long as basic public health protocols are met,” Bayocot said. Most schools in hinterland barangays will also open with F2F classes, he added. Bayocot said this city will be the only schools division to continue with the “blended” learning modality, at least for a while. City Assistant Division Superintendent Lorebina Carrasco said they will be “testing the waters” by imposing blended-learning for two weeks. “But eventually we will go full face-to-face, and we have already identified first our hinterland barangays for its implementation,” Carrasco
The primary aims of the Special Education Program is to provide educational environment where learners with special needs are greatly appreciated and are given the opportunity to meet their educational victories. Tablon Elementary School has envisioned to provide quality special education class to learners with special needs. With its opening for the SPED Class last S.Y. 2021-2022 from eight learners to seventeen learners, I can say it’s a great hooray for the school and even to the parents who decided to finally enroll their kids and have open their minds and hearts for the possibilities of working with the teachers in honing their kids to be independent and responsible citizens in the community. Hence, Tablon Elementary School is not just a school for learners but is a home and will always have a heart for learners with special needs.
Mindanao coffee farmers now earn more after Nescafé training DAVAO City – Some 1,500 small coffee farmers in Mindanao have increased their yield and income by around 64 percent and 45 percent, respectively, in 2021. The increase in harvests came after the completion of the three-year Project Coffee+ launched by Nestlé Philippines through the NESCAFÉ Plan. The project had 980 Sultan Kudarat and 520 Bukidnon farmers participating in intensive training since 2019 to develop their “agripreneurial” mindset. “Along with the efforts of our partners and other stakeholders, the NESCAFÉ Plan aims to increase the capacity of farmers for regeneration and build a future through green coffee beans sourced from farmers adopting regenerative agriculture practices,” Kais Marzouki, Nestlé Philippines head, said in a statement Wednesday. The increase in production was reported by the Rainforest Alliance -- an international nongovernment organization addressing deforestation, climate change, systemic poverty, and social inequity -- that performed monitoring and evaluation to help assess the sustainability of the NESCAFÉ Plan. The report showed that Project Coffee+ farmers’ adoption of regenerative farming practices such as agroforestry, the application of organic matter, and rejuvenation of coffee trees, have made a positive impact on the total harvest. “As we move forward in our transition to regenerative food systems, we want to encourage consumers to be more mindful of how raw materials are grown and how products are made as they make purchase decisions,” Marzouki said.

The Department of Education has strongly highlighted on the availability of Special Education Classes in public schools. It is even more stress with the Inclusive Education Act signed by the former President Duterte last March 2022. It is so heartwarming to finally see that learners with special needs can now be fully catered and be given utmost importance in the school community and even in Specialsociety.Education Program serves as the very heart in providing academic and life skills to special learners. Learners with special needs are to be catered according to their developmental needs. The curriculum is modified according to their level, skills and abilities. Not only that, it also provides extra support system for the learners’ adaptive skills and helping them engage socially with individuals in the community.
SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM: A HEART FOR LEARNERS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
Have you ever wondered why the quality of education differs from one country to another? For instance, how does the Philippine educational system differ from that of Singapore? The government plays a vital role in ensuring the quality of education in the country. Philippine education is the heart of Article XIV of the 1987 Philippine Constitution which was signed into law by then President Corazon C. Aquino. Entitled “Education, Science and Technology, Arts, Culture and Sports Education,” the article aims to establish, maintain, and support a complete, adequate, and integrated system of education that is relevant to the needs the Filipino citizens. To make this goal a reality, several Acts were passed into law along the passage of time. Executive Order 117 renamed Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports to Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS) in 1987. It also mandated the creation of Board for Professional Teachers to ensure that teachers meet the standards required in practicing theirInprofession.1994,Republic Acts 7722 and 7796 introduced the Trifocal System of education by adding more branches to the existing educational system. DECS was still in charge of the basic education, which covers elementary and high school. Technical Education Skills Development Authority (TESDA) was tasked to administer the skills development training of Filipinos while the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) takes charge of the college and post-graduate education. In 2001, DECS was renamed to Department of Education (DepEd) courtesy of Republic ActThe9155.Philippine Basic Education has undergone through a lot of transformation. Its latest iteration was based on Republic Act 10533 dubbed as the “Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013,” which paved the way for the implementation of K to 12 Basic Education in our country, making it at par with those of the other countries. Our country’s education continues to evolve up until this time. Now that we have Vice President Sarah Duterte as the current DepEd secretary, it is not a matter of if but when will the major changes occur in terms of our country’s basic education. As Alvin Toffler puts it, we educators must be willing to learn, unlearn and relearn for us to remain significant. We also have to embrace any future educational reform that will be put in place for the betterment of our country. In the meantime, let’s help DepEd attain its vision for the nation. said. DepEd-10 is expecting more than 1.3 million students to go back to at least 3,101 schools all over Northern Mindanao. (PNA)

CEBUANA LHUILLIER plans to strengthen and expand its business in the country by offering products and increasing its branches in provinces to bring financial services to the underbanked and unbanked. “We already have more than 3,000 branches across the archipelago, with 500 branches due to open before the year ends.

He said even as a lot of transactions have shifted online, their clients still want to go to physical branches. “Our experience in the last three years proved that the ‘next normal’ is not purely online, because the reality is, here in the Philippines, many rural communities are still dependent on the physical branches in doing their transactions,” Mr. Sena said.What we’re doing in ensuring that our products and services are easily available through online platforms while also making sure that we have a strong network of physical branches that will complement and complete the online-offline journey in transactions,” he said.This strategy of using both online and offline platforms or technology and brick-and-mortar stores to deliver its services is called

the government is finding ways to address the current issues in the local sugar industry. On the sidelines of an economic forum organized by the Economic Journalists Association of the Philippines and the San Miguel Corp. on Wednesday at the Ayuntamiento de Manila, Balisacan said the biggest challenge for the country’s sugar sector is the insufficient volume in the domestic market.Balisacan said the cause of the rising sugar prices in the country is the insufficiency of the supply as the economy expands.“There’s an ongoing exercise right now because we are preparing some papers —some strategic paper(s) for addressing this kind of issue,” he told reporters. Balisacan, who is also the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) director general, said the government needs to sit down with sugar planters and industry players to have a “clear picture” of the gap on supply and demand of sugar.“We need to see what the production potential of our sugar industry vis-à-vis the demand. Obviously, the demand for sugar is quite elastic, meaning it grows with the economy. So total requirements, total volume is likely to rise. So the question is: Can the production catch up with the demand?” he added.Balisacan said stakeholders should look into the capability of sugar producers if they are still able to expand their farming land and if they are using high-yield plant varieties “to give confidence that productivity is going to rise” as farming land has not increased much because of other demands for land.

THE Monetary Board of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) disqualified four more firms from securing a license after they were found operating unregistered money service businesses (MSBs). The central bank disqualified Nanay Melpops Money Changer located in Pasay City, with Magdalena E. Narisma as a point person.
Asked if NEDA is in favor of sugar importation, Balisacan said it should be allowed if available local supply could not meet the demand.“The thing is the supply has to grow, (the) available local production (has to grow). If it cannot grow, imports should be allowed. Otherwise, prices will continue to skyrocket,” he said.President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. earlier said the country may import around 150,000 metric tons of sugar by October if the local supply is seen to be depleting.

side us, all of us, linger remnants that remind us of what the world could be like – of what we could be like. The Old Testament prophets dreamed of “that day”, when crea tion would be made new. And those sen sations, following a dismal monotone of predicted catastrophes, burst out of the last few chapters of Revelation. That perfect world is not merely a dream. Yes, I am pretty sure, it will come true. I really enjoy read ing Revelation again and again. Revelation shows us a new world at last. There will be no more tears then nor pain.Revelation ends on a note of great triumph. Somehow, out of all the bad news augured here, good news emerg es-spectacular Good News. I remember my radio show hosting on a Good News Radio FM-station in Davao City more than 20 years ago. Yes, good news. To those who believe, Revelation becomes a book not of fear, but of hope. God will prevail. All will be made new. The Bible began, remember, back in Genesis, with a tragic defeat, when humanity, made in the image of God, rebelled. It ends with a reunion – a mar riage, Revelation calls it. A happy ending after all…A perfect world? How could you design it? What would it look like?

Think a minute . . . What is your dream climate to live in? A warm one or a cold one? A sunny one or a rainy one? Did you know that you can live in the climate you have always wanted? I’m not talking about the weather climate, but the far more important climate of your home. The daily mood of your marriage and family. Just like a garden lives and grows best in the right kind of climate, so does your family. Are you a thermometer or a thermostat? Do you let your environment control your home’s emotional temperature, or do you control the emotional temperature of your home? It is we ourselves who actually set and control the emotional climate in our family by the way we choose to talk and treat each other. We choose to be either hot-headed, impatient and angry, or we choose to be cold-hearted, distant and inexpressive to each other. The way we choose to react to our everyday problems, mistakes, and disagreements will determine the daily mood and feeling in our home. Do you wish your family was more peaceful and happy? That you and your spouse did not argue as much? That your kids were happier and more confident? Remember, no one is forcing you to live in that kind of unhappy atmosphere. It is your choice. You must decide to be the first one to change and control your own heart, moods, anger, impatience, conflict, worry, fear,Weetc.need to remember that “A man is only as big as the things that make him angry.” There are only a few things in life truly worth getting upset about.

KIM'S DREAM ORLAN R. RAVANERA cooperative principles and values, the OIC, after 54 years, has grown by leaps and Today,bounds.OICserves its mem bers financially with a capital of 8.9 billion pesos , money that they themselves own and manage to liberate them from the clutches of economic difficulties.Today,OIC stands as a formidable ally of the poor – the farmers, the fisherfolk, women, workers, vendors, drivers, lowly government employees – constituting a development force of some 193,000 strong members being served in 20 branches in Cagayan de Oro and the provinces of Misamis Orien tal, Bukidnon and Tagbilaran City who are now engaged in medium, small and micro enterprises.Initsown right, OIC has equalized financial opportu nities for the marginalized sectors through its twelve financial windows front-lined by its twelve branches that provide regular and privilege loans. While commercial banks have considered the poor non-bankable, here is a cooperative that thinks otherwise. Indeed, when the poor harness their collective potentials and pool their resources together, it is just magical and wondrous! OIC has provided the em powering path to the helpless, the downtrodden and the oppressed as it hits the crux of the problem. Studies have shown that poverty is rooted in the dis-empowerment and the social exclusion of the people. As such, the only remedial measure is to empower the poor to craft their own destiny. They must put their future into their own hands – not to the politicians, not through grants, not to development The love of money has been said to be the root of all evil; however, the lack of it causes so many evil. In a country where a few have much too much money and the many who are poor have almost nothing, we have fears of consequences horrible even to contemplate, like that of a “social volcano” ready to erupt.For a society to continu ously have such a highly stratified economic set-up, rectifying social wrongs has been the battle-cry to advance social justice, equity and a kind of development that puts the people at the center of progress. In a highly skewed societal set-up, there is that imperative need to launch a collectivist counter culture against the lethal combination of powerlessness, apathy and greed. The people’s collective struggle emanating from the strength of the human spirit will bring forth, in the long term, a society that is more humane and just. In 1966, a few good men and women led by Atty. Mordino Cua trail-blazed a progressive path to serve the people by organizing a cooperative named after its place of birth, the Oro Inte grated Cooperative otherwise known as the OIC.

The last word Cooperative, People's Leading Edge the Poor into Development Processesagenciesbe government or non-government organiza tions – but through their own efforts. In truth, it is only they who can liberate themselves from the viciousness of pov erty because unless they act for their own welfare, all the outpourings of development assistance will be for naught. OIC is indeed the coopera tive of those who struggle to make life better for the people through their own empow erment. While it banks on the grassroots initiatives of mobilizing resources for the poor, yet OIC could not be left behind technologically being the first cooperative to use an Automated Teller Machine dubbed the Pinoy Coop ATM. It has exemplified concern for the communities and the environment in so many ways as it is the beacon of light amidst the darkness of poverty.When a cooperative bank was in distress as in the case of the Cooperative Bank of Misamis Occidental which had been put into receiver ship, OIC readily offered a helping hand in coordination with other cooperatives, as together they worked for its rehabilitation, the first of its kind in the whole country. Indeed, OIC is a kindred spirit to those in need. OIC has showcased what cooperativism should be, which is, a vehicle of social transformation. It has be come a feather in the cap of the cooperative movement not only locally but also nation ally.To the Board of Directors chaired by Mr. Raul Pregon, management and staff headed by its amazing Chief Execu tive Officer Mr. Rene Hilot and all the hundreds of thou sands of members of OIC, our firm salute for excellently drawing the marginalized sectors into the mainstream of development processes. Indeed, the Oro Integrated Cooperative has become a liberating force against pov erty, gross social inequities and social injustices, putting in clear categorical term the essence of the transformative cooperative for people, planet, prosperity and peace.

Teachers’ Professionalism and Relations with Parents
By: Norman A. Felisilda Head Teacher -III of Dunggoan Integrated School
Protecting the Wildlife
On a busy day in June just this current year, my co-teachers and I were visiting the homes of our learners. We could not help but be amazed of what we saw, a tarsier, brought by some of our learners from the forest. This may sound ordinary to some, but you will realize it is not when you find out that the animal is not from Bohol, its popular habitat. It was caught from the dense forest of Dunggoan, Cagayan de Oro, in the northern part of Mindanao. I have been assigned in this place for a couple of years now and the event mesmerized me. I did not know and could not believe that this endangered animal can be found in this place. My mind began to realize that the wildlife in this area is bountiful as endangered animals such as the tarsier can still be found in the forest of this place. My first impression was that some rare wildlife can also be found in this unfamiliar forest. Another thing boggled my mind: I could not believe either that our students, at their young age, are good at animal pouching. In my conversation with the students who caught the animal, they confessed that they hunted the poor creature for extra income. Our school is Dunggoan Integrated School. It is one of the furthest schools in the Division of Cagayan de Oro City. Dunggoan is one of the sitios of Tignapoloan, a barangay neighbored by Talakag, Bukidnon and Rogongon, Iligan City, Lanao del Norte. It is mountainous and consider as a timberland area. Once you have stayed here, you may say mother nature has provided this place a 24-hour free air-conditioner because of its freezing temperature. During rainy days, seas of fogs will bedazzle you. Our lumad or Higaonon villagers are truly bestowed with natural resources with God’s grace. Having such provision, it is then not a surprise that aside from farming and logging, animal hunting is a common livelihood of the native people. But this way of living damages our forest, their home. Pouching of wild animals and illegal cutting of endemic trees is rampant here. This is very alarming not only because it can contribute to the problem of climate change, but because the marvelous fauna and flora of the natives are in danger. The utilization of nature in this part of the universe where I am assigned is not unknow to us teachers since we have been here for quite a time. In our part, we keep on reminding the children of the relevance of the preservation and care of nature. We always integrate environmental sustainability in our lessons. Sadly, change is not easily preached in the four corners of a classroom. Three inevitable conditions can be the strong reasons: poverty, culture, and law enforcement. Because of poverty, most of the villagers are dependent on the natural resources that can be found in the forest. The Higaonon culture on the other hand compel them to believe that the forest is their ancestral domain, thus they can exploit it as much as they need. Most importantly, the law is not enforced in this remote corner of the country. We sure have RA 9147 or the Wildlife Resources Conservation and Protection Act but no one from the government is here to monitor regularly. As teachers, we can only fear that time will come that the forest will be totally damaged. By then, the extinction of other endangered animals and plants will be Educationinescapable.ideally plays an important role in the protection of wildlife.

By: Althel Francia M. Puertas Teacher II, Lagonglong Central School Lagonglong District, Division of Misamis Oriental There are several types of skills to become a good writer. To possess a variety of dexterity that needs to combine to form a strong writing quality and probably, makes someone a tough writer too. Crucial as it sounds to the ears of some beings who find writing an uninteresting or worst a mind-numbing routine. Yet, the best type of brain exercises to people who in contrast, feel and find affection for doing it. Above ideas are essential to journalism in school. It is a wow to some group when students win from the competition and a salute to the people also known as the coaches behind the winning flight. Honestly, to handle such crops is not an effortless undertaking. It is a two-way process which needs to be achieved by both the coaches and the student journalists. The teachers who are the coaches and the student journalists must take a mutual effort to attain excellence in the chosen endeavor. But above everything, journalism coaches had to hold important writing qualities to become potentially equipped. Thus, allow me to unlock how I got myself into coaching journalism which I believed you can too. As a classroom teacher and a full time class adviser lead me to juggle all tasks at once. Apart from the given responsibilities, I had to manage my time taking care of my family too. Therefore, my sight and focus need to be set forth. I don’t need to be very expert in writing as a journalism coach, but more importantly, I need to acquire my own expertise to suffice my coaching responsibility. In order for you to hand over new knowledge to your student journalists, being a great coach needs to project thorough knowledge and familiarity of the assigned task. You cannot give what you do not have. You may have had previous experience on how to engage with journalism in your teaching career, concurrently, a successful journalism coach needs specific expertise and in-depth knowledge of the latter. In relation to the aforementioned writing skills, being enthusiastic about what you love to do is another key to successful coaching vocation. A touch of enthusiasm can never get you wrong as a coach for it helps the student journalists to be committed, determined, and dedicated. On the other hand, curiosity is another helpful factor to learn and develop the latest methods to do extremely well. An eagerness to embrace new ways in writing is a vital aspect which circulates a good deal of up-to-the-minute and innovative techniques to boost student journalists’Consequently,skills.the ability to connect with people instantly amidst any background is another good and professional quality of journalism coaches. People with such possessions enable them to understand and develop healthy relationships. They know how to give importance to all fellows of the same shoes by being empathetic rather than authoritative. They allow their student journalists to discover their own potential and assist to nurture them accordingly. Lastly, make your presence visible. Great coaches always lead from the front and make their existence immensely useful. Hopefully, others may find inspiration to other people with the same thoughts and vision. Bear in mind that successful journalism coaches are always reflective and soaked with visualization of ideas and thoughts. They showcase advanced commitment, firm in spirit, flawless integrity, valuable conversationalist, and above all, a great leader.

It is much evident that Bayanihan is a core essence of the Filipino culture.It is helping out as a community,and doing a task together,thus lessening the workload and making the job easier.As preparations for the school opening, DepEd assures to conduct Brigada Eskwela activities and initiatives that will safely open classes especially with COVID-19 pandemic challenges.With the theme “Tugon sa Hamon ng Ligtas na BalikAral”, it highlights the country’s collective efforts from various partnership engagements, creating a safe learning environment for the learners, teaching and non-teaching personnel, and community.Every year, City Central School is very much grateful to the stakeholders, local governments and to other agencies in the community in helping prepare the school for the opening of classes.The Cagayan de Oro City Police Office together with the Advocacy Groups and Force Multipliers helped in cleaning up the school premises on the first week of the Brigada Eskwela. Parents also extended their help in cleaning up classrooms and its surroundings.Other stakeholders extended their support through giving out materials needed for the school and even for the classrooms as well.This has been a great impact on the learning environment of the learners to achieve safety while ensuring the delivery of quality education.As what Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Z. Duterte said,“The collaboration between the parents, the teachers, local governments, and the entire community on Brigada Eskwela opens a deeper and meaningful collaboration even until after the school year closes”.
Teachers must be aware that they are discussing a parent's pride and joy while speaking to parents. Don't hurt their kid. Instead, politely discuss the points of contention. At the same time, emphasize the child's good qualities to avoid coming out as being condescending rather than addressing problems while providing encouragement. Parents and teachers must collaborate as a team. It must not be biased. By collaborating, both parties may do their part to assist the child and develop ideas, tactics, and plans to put into action in an effort to address the issues and create an atmosphere where the child can realize their full potential. If you're a teacher, you've probably seen how difficult parents can be at times. They become quite irritating, and you may become irritable as a result. To engage with parents ethically, teachers must be aware of these standards. The majority of parents grow some amount of hostility against a teacher as a result of the manner that she interacts with them. Since you should both be working for the benefit of your students, you wouldn't want it to happen. To prevent issues, it is crucial that a teacher understands the "how to’s" of working with parents. When teachers and parents have the same objectives and are focused on enhancing the children's skills and knowledge, good relationships with the children's families assist create a comfortable environment for learning. It's important to maintain open lines of communication between teachers and parents in order to build strong and fruitful relationships with families. It's also important to engage families in learning activities and decisionmaking.Children's learning activities are successful when they are motivated to learn and have parental support. This is why instructors may help children develop their abilities and increase the possibility for teacher-parent cooperation by forming pleasant and fruitful relationships with families.

First Iron-Fortified Rice Processing Plant in Northern Mindanao Established
A ccording to DOST-Food and Nutrition Research Institute’s (FNRI) Seventh National Nutrition Survey (7th NNS) in 2008, Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA) is still prevalent among four out of 10 and three out of 10 pregnant and lactating women, respectively. Further, according to the survey, IDA also affects two out of 10 children 6months to 5 years old, as well as the six to 12-year-olds. In addition, one out of ten 13- to 19-year-old teens are likewise affected. With this underlying issue, DOST-FNRI developed the Iron-Fortified Rice (IFR) and Iron Rice Premix (IRP) technologies to help address iron deficiency anemia in the country. Fortifying rice with iron is a strategic nutrition intervention in helping address IDA, because rice is the staple food of most Filipinos.Inaneffort to help solve the incidence of anemia in Region 10, the Department of Science and Technology-10, together with the DOSTFood and Nutrition Research Institute (DOST-FNRI) and Maramag Community Multi-Purpose Cooperative (MACO-MPC), launched the Iron-Fortified Rice Project and inaugurated the Iron Rice Fortification Processing Plant on August 3, 2022, at Base Camp, Maramag, Bukidnon. This is the pioneering iron rice fortification processing plant in Northern Mindanao. The DOST-10's project "Strengthening and Promotion of Iron-Fortified Rice for Nutrition and Overall Wellness (SAP-IFRNOW) Project" aims to combat iron deficiency anemia in Northern Mindanao through the transfer of two technologies from DOSTFNRI to MACO-MPC. The IFR and IRP technologies involve hot extrusion and precise blending processes. The plain rice and iron rice premix is blended by a DOSTFNRI calibrated continuous blending machine to produce Iron-Fortified Rice. A vital component of the project is an efficacy study to be conducted by DOST-FNRI in partnership with MACO-MPC, Bukidnon State University (BSU), the Provincial Health Office (PHO)/Provincial Nutrition Action Office (PNAO) of Bukidnon and Municipal Health Office (MHO) of Maramag, Bukidnon. The study will involve 100 randomly selected irondeficient residents in Maramag, Bukidnon. This will include the provision of 1kg IFR per day to each individual for six months. The project also envisions that through a collaboration with the Department of Social Welfare and Development Ribbon-cutting for the Iron Rice Fortification facility at Maramag Community Multi-Purpose Cooperative, Base Camp, Maramag, Bukidnon

The party was convened by Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) Secretary Maria Belen Acosta, who also arranged for the meetings. A trading agreement between the Davao-based fruit exporter Avante Agri-Products and Singaporean company Bananah & Co. PTE. LTD was signed during the investment mission early this month. Avante Agri-Products will be supplying fresh and processed commodities to Bananah & Co. PTE. LTD, a wholesale seller of fruits and vegetables. Initial products agreed for delivery are fresh pineapple and papaya, but will later include banana, durian, calamansi concentrate, and banana chips. A minimum of one 40-footer container per week for both banana and papaya will be shipped to Singapore two weeks from the signing of the agreement. MinDA said meetings leading to the partnership started in April when Bananah & Co. was sourcing for potential partners in Davao City.

ISAIAS A. JARALES Municipal Civil Registrar BWM: Aug. 19, & 26, 2022 Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), has provided smallholder coffee farmers with training, mainly in agronomic practices such as grafting, pruning, rejuvenation, and organic and inorganic fertilization. The significant increases in their yield and income are attributed to their adoption of an agri-enterprise approach to farm operations, which includes applying learned skills in better farm planning, budgeting, seeking financial services, and farm diversification, among others. The Nescafé Plan in the country is a long-term program to increase the supply of Robusta coffee which lags considerably behind demand by helping farmers increase the productivity of coffee farming towards a better quality of life. Robusta accounts for 66 percent of local coffee production and is mostly grown in Mindanao. In the Philippines, Nestlé is the biggest buyer of Robusta green coffee beans. It increased its volume purchase of locally-grown coffee by 41 percent in 2021 over 2020, sourced from participants in NESCAFÉ Plan projects as well as consolidators, smallholder farmers, and farmer cooperatives across Mindanao.
