Fifty-year old Jessie Gunda Globio is the pride of Poblacion 2 in Balangkayan, Eastern Samar who takes farming as his bread and butter.  He went into farming because he saw the great potential of the land entrusted to him by his parents and in-laws.  These agricultural lands became his "classrooms" where he often  stays from sunrise to dusk.  They were witnesses of his passion to learn by doing and in striving for more.
