It was a fine Thursday morning when we arrived at the farm of Carlito Cortez in San Fernando, Bukidnon. We were scheduled to interview this young farmer who preferred to work on his farm after securing his college diploma.
Right after graduation, Carlito began farming his once unproductive 2.5 hectare farm, which is now a flourishing food hub with various varieties of ‘bahay kubo’ vegetables planted all year round.
