NESTLE PHILIPPINES ANOTHER MILESTONE FOR ITS CONTINUED SUPPORT ON FILIPINOS GROWING COFFEE INDUSTRY..

PAG-USAPAN NATIN-JUVY DE GUZMAN

Nescafé formally opens the Nestlé Lipa Integrated Coffee Center (LICC)

Nescafé, the world’s leading instant coffee brand, continues its 75th anniversary celebrations with the formal inauguration of the Nestlé Lipa Integrated Coffee Center (LICC) last July 16 in Lipa, Batangas City.

The Nestlé LICC is an agricultural research and development hub that aims to assist coffee farmers in Luzon improve the quality and quantity of their yield. Initiated by Nestlé Philippines, Inc. (NPI) and envisioned as a one-stop shop for coffee growers in the region, the center operates based on four main objectives: to expose farmers to the best Robusta coffee farming technology from Nestle, provide a venue for the training of these farmers on the proper technologies of Robusta coffee production, propagate good coffee planting materials for distribution to farmers, and share viable farming techniques to increase productivity while lowering production cost.

“We mark an important chapter of Nescafé’s history with the completion of the Nestlé LICC and the formal opening of all its operations,” said Edith de Leon, Nestlé Philippines senior vice president and head of Corporate Affairs, Nestlé Philippines. “This is a significant milestone which underlines our continuing support of the Philippine coffee industry and our commitment to creating shared value for its various stakeholders, especially the small coffee farmers.”

End-to-end services
A five-hectare, P25-million facility, the Nestlé LICC prominently features a Robusta production nursery with a current capacity to cultivate 500,000 coffee seedlings, which will be distributed to growers at cost. Over time, it is projected to increase its planting capacity to accommodate as much as 1,000,000 seedlings and become a major source of coffee planting material in the country.

The Nestlé LICC also plays a key role in propagating the Nestlé Better Farming Practices, which adhere to the principles of the Sustainable Agricultural Initiative (SAI) and the 4C (Common Code for the Coffee Community), by serving as a local R&D center for new coffee selections and a training and techno-demo center. The training programs available at the facility include Coffee Technology Training for new farmers, Coffee Specialist Training for large-scale coffee plantation personnel and Department of Agriculture technicians, and on-the-job training that focuses on the end-to-end technology of coffee growing.

Apart from these, the Nestlé LICC also houses a buying station where farmers can sell their produce directly to Nestlé at a buying price aligned with global market prices, and a composting facility for organic fertilizer.

Supporting the local coffee industry
The Nestlé LICC is only the second facility of its kind in the Philippines -- after the Nestlé Experimental and Demonstration Farm (NEDF) in Tagum City, Davao del Norte -- and plays an integral role in the local implementation of the NESCAFÉ Plan, a global initiative that supports responsible farming, production and consumption.

According to de Leon, Nestlé Philippines hopes that the Nestlé LICC will replicate the success of NEDF in Mindanao and contribute to the growth of the local coffee industry by addressing its various challenges, including the disparity between local demand and supply. Citing 2012 figures, she revealed that local demand for coffee beans totaled to over 70,000 metric tons (MT), while local production hit only 25,000 MT.

Further, she states that the opening of the Nestlé LICC will also help the company—the country’s biggest buyer of Robusta coffee beans—secure its long-term supply of coffee.

“Through the NESCAFÉ Plan, we aim to reverse the decline in local coffee production and help the country achieve coffee self-sufficiency,” added de Leon. “The opening of the Nestlé LICC represents the next big step in achieving this goal.” (VerGarciaBlogs)

Bloggers Association of the Philippines: PAG-USAPAN NATIN NI: JUVY DE GUZMAN

Bloggers Association of the Philippines: PAG-USAPAN NATIN NI: JUVY DE GUZMAN: SALAMAT SA INYO.. PAG-ASANG HANDOG SA MGA BATANG MAY CANCER..... Salamat sa pag-asang ito, na naipagkaloob sa akin ng mga kaibigan....

PAG-USAPAN NATIN NI: JUVY DE GUZMAN

SALAMAT SA INYO.. PAG-ASANG HANDOG SA MGA BATANG MAY CANCER.....


Salamat sa pag-asang ito, na naipagkaloob sa akin ng mga kaibigan. Isa rin palang gaya ko na may pusong magpasaya sa buhay ng iba. Actually, naghangad lang ako na maghandog ng ilang dagdag na donations para sa kanilang activities.

Nang, sa di inaasahang pagkakataon, naimbitahan ako ni Therry sa FB, para dumalo sa kanyang imbitasyon. Nung una, ayaw ko sana, sa dami rin kasi ng aking imbitasyong natatanggap. Mahirap po kasing tanggap ng tanggap ng kompromiso, nang hindi naman nakakarating. Pero, dahil sa imbitasyon pa rin ni Ate Precy naman, sa pareho pa ring okasyon, aba, di na ako nakatanggi...

.

                             Michael David Lampkin with Juvy De Guzman

At eto, edi, naumpisahan sa programa, dahil sa matinding suporta ni Ate Precy, at sa pakiusap ni Therry, natalakay namin ang usaping Philippine Educational Charities....sa kakammpionline.... and the great intention was there. Due to the wonderful explanation of Michael David Lampkin, President of PEC , American National and married to a Filipina from Bacolod City. 

Siyempre pa, di natapos ang mga pangyayari sa Interview at napunta ako sa bahay ni Therry, kung saan doon pala maraming babalutin na mga regalong dadalhin sa mga batang may sakit ng kanser. Napakasayang karanasan at ito’y di ko makakalimutan. That was July 11, 2013....siyempre pa, ginabi ako at ‘yun nga lang, mag-isa akong umuwi at inabot ng malakas na ulan, gabi pa naman. Ligtas naman akong nakauwi, at kinabukasan, eto masakit ang ulo at parang lalagnatin....

Pero ng maisip ko ang mga batang may kanser, bigla akong gumaling. Naalala ko na dapat ay makapagbigay din ako ng hatid-saya sa mga taga PCMC-Philippine Childrens Medical Center-kung saan dun gaganapin ang event ni Therry. That was July 12, 2013 1pm to 4pm. At ngayon nga po, eto, kakauwi ko lang....sa apat na oras na ako’y nakatayo sa stage, ni katiting na pagod ay di ko naramdaman habang kaming lahat ay gumagawa ng Serbisyo Publiko. Masaya akong nakaawit sa saliw ng mga magagaling na sundalo ng AFP, ang CRS COMBO. 

Pero, mga kapatid, ng ako ay umuwi, aba naman, bagsak agad sa kama at sakit ng katawan ang aking naramdamam. Pero, magpaganun pa man,  eto pa rin, masaya at ligtas na nakauwi ng bahay sa pangalan ng taxi TELEN na siyang aking sinakyan.....Kaibigan pala ng driver na si Christopher Pasia ang kilala ko.. ang sikat na si Gani Oro ng GMA-DZBB. Siyempre pa, grabe pati buhay ng driver, kinuwento rin niya sa akin....

Hanggang sa ako ay makauwi. Natuwa ako, na aking nasaksihan ang dami ng mga suporta na nakuha ni Therry sa personal at FB Friends......Kaya, natapos ang lahat na may ngiti sa labi na umuwi.......Ikaw kapatid.. ano ang nagawa mo sa iyong kapwa na mabuti at mahirap kalimutan na gaya ng aking naranasan?

Muli, ipadala po ang inyong magandang karanasan sa aking email, juvy_deguzman@yahoo.com. Upang maibahagi natin sa lahat ng aking mambabasa sa Diyario o Social Network at magsilbing inspirasyon para sa iba at patuloy na maghari ang kapayapaan sa mundo.

ISANG PANAWAGAN SA MGA JEEPNEY DRIVERS.. BASAHIN NINYO PO ITO..

PAG-USAPAN NATIN
Ni: Juvy de Guzman

Isang Komentaryo:  Patungkol Sa Mga Jeepney Drivers.. Dapat Maging Responsable Po Kayo Sa Inyong Pagmamaneho.. Nakasalalay Sa Inyong Mga Kamay Ang Buhay Ng Inyong Mga Pasahero!

Guys, pasensiya napo, kayo lang ang aking nasasabihan sa aking mga problema, accomplishments, challenges at pati na rin tungkol sa kairesponsablehan ng ilan nating mga kababayan.


Today, July 2, Martes.....Imagine mo, ngayon lang ako nakarecover sa aking Over-fatigue, at siyempre, back to normal na naman ako....Punta na naman ako sa mga Media forum kung saan, invited ako for my program report....Kanina 9am....dumalo ako sa QC Sports Club at salamat sa kanilang super lunch ng PRO Media News....Siyempre, after that, punta naman ako sa appointment ko in Manila....... Tuesday.....lang ako gumaling dahil sa aking hyper tension.....

3:10 pm....Nag-jeep po ako ng Munoz-Quiapo na biyahe....kasi po sa Quiapo ang baba ko....Nang sumapit na kami sa riles ng train sa Espanya St. ....pinilit na sumiksik ng jeepney driver sa unahan kahit alam niyang, di kami makakapasok ng ayos, kasi, ang gitnang bahagi ng Jeep ay nasa daanan ng train......Paparating na po ang train sa oras na iyon at parang walang kumikilos alinman sa mga kasakay ko.....so, what I did, bumaba ako at pinagalitan ko ang Driver at pinilit ko siyang pumihit pakaliwa para makapasok ang kanyang sasakyan sa bakante na natitira, nang di kako kami abutin.....Malakas ang busina ng train, pero halos lahat sila ay parang tulala. Ako lang ang nag-react sa ganong sitwasyon at agad na sinunod ako ng Driver.....Diyos ko, dumating ang train na muntik ng kumitil na naman ng panibagong buhay......Salamat at nalagpasan namin ang trahedyang ito.....Dahil nakapasok kami sa tamang puwesto na hindi mahahagip ng train at kung tulog ako sa biyaheng iyon, palagay ko, pinaglalamayan na kami ngayon.

MORAL LESSON:

'Wag matulog sa oras ng biyahe sa daan. Bakit kamo, kasi kung tulog ako, maaaring nadisgrasya na kami sa kagagawan ng TANGANG DRIVER....na mahilig sumingit sa alanganin, na maaaring ikapahamak namin. Di ko rin po akalain, na pati ang dalawang pasaherong kasama ko ay tanga rin.......sabi po kasi nung lalaki sa akin....Bakit Mam, kung di ba tayo nakaalis, hindi titigil ang train? Tapos 'ung babae naman kasama namin din sa Jeep, kala ko po nasa tamang pwesto tayo. Di ko po alam na nasa riles pa pala tayo ng train. Dahil kampante siyang nakaupo at di nababahala.

Minsan, mga kaibigan, tayo rin ang may gawa ng ating kapahamakan. Kasi, kung wala akong aksyon sa mga nangyaring iyon, e di masisisi pa ako, na bakit di man lang kami tumalon o umalis sa nasabing sasakyan????? Bakit at marami pang bakit????

Thanks God, salamat sa paalala at naging firm ang pag-iisip ko sa mga oras na yon. Nagmukha akong Traffic Enforcer sa pagnanais na mailigtas ang kawawang Jeep na aking sinakyan na may mga buhay na madadamay. (VerGarciaBlogs)

KAILANGAN NGA BANG MAGTIPID AT MAG-IMPOK PARA SA KINABUKASAN?

Pag-usapan Natin
ni: JUVY DE GUZMAN


MAGTIPID, UGALING DI NAKASANAYAN NG IBA.........

Sang ayon sa mga eksperto, maraming paraan ng pagtitipid. Ngunit, ayon sa karanasan ng iba, wala daw kailangan tipirin, dahil, wala namang kita. Ano ba ‘yan? Ito ang katwiran, ng ilang mga nakausap ko, na di naman ako pabor. Bakit kamo? Kasi, karamihan sa mga kababayan natin ay nagsasabing mahirap sila, ay siya pang halos di marunong magtipid. Paraan na dapat nating gawin, lalo na’t marami ang nagsasabing, wala silang kinikita. Masakit sa aking kalooban na marami sa ating mga kababayan ang naghihintay lang ng trabaho at di naman naghahanap. Well, di naman natin sila masisisi. Kasi nga nasanay ang ilang Pinoy na magpahanap ng trabaho sa iba, kahit ito’y malayo sa kanilang natapos o pinag-aralan.

Sabi pa ng iba nating nakausap, “Gusto kong magtrabaho ng kahit ano, basta kumita lamang...”. Pagkaminsan, may mga nakakapasok, sa ganitong katwiran lamang. Kahit ano, basta may sweldo, sabi naman ng iba d’yan. Sa anumang paraan ng pagpasok ng trabaho meron tayo, ito”y tanggap na sa ating lipunan. Basta may makain at may panggastos lang, okey na. Pero bakit, kahit magkano ang kitain nating pera, ay wala tayong naitatabi, para sa biglaang pangangailangan natin?

Karamihan sa atin, gastos muna at saka na, kung may matira. “Kulang pa nga pambili ng pagkain at iba pa”, ang sabi naman ng iba. Ilan sa atin ang may Life or Accident Insurance? Alkansiya? Bangko? Ilan sa ating mga kababayan ang may naitabi, na magagamit sa biglaang pangangailangan? Katanungang, napakahirap hanapan ng kasagutan, lalo ang pagtatabi ng exact amount at ang matira ay siyang panggastos. Na kung ikaw ay di sanay na gumawa ng baliktad na pamamaraan, aba, mahirap ‘yan!!!. ‘Yan ay ang magtabi ng sapat sa araw-araw na kita, at gastusin lamang ang natitirang pera, na nasa iyong kamay. Magulo, pero dahil sa eksperto, sa paraang ito, ay nalaman natin kay Prof. Mon Toledo at sa kanyang kaibigan na si Jing, ang ilang magandang paraan. “Sang ayon sa kanila, ganito ang paraan ng ilang Tsino, kung bakit maunlad ang karamihan sa kanila.

Matuto tayong maging “KURIPOT”, Na minsan, di maganda sa pandinig ng ilang Pinoy. Pero kung ating iintindihin, aba’y may mararating ka sa ganitong paraan. Paraan na mas kaunti ang nakakaalam dito sa atin. Nasanay kasi tayong gumastos, magpabongga, umutang kahit kanino, na wala namang katiyakan sa pagkukunan ng pambayad dito, na minsan, ay higit pa sa ating kinikita......Hay naku mga kapatid, mahabang usapan ito....sa susunod na issue, ipapaliwanag ko ang tamang paraan ng pagtitipid, para sa future, ay mayroon tayong huhugutin. Ayon sa aking Lola, na madalas niya sa aking ipaalala, “Kung may isinuksok, may madudukot”. Anuman ang tamang kasabihan, ukol dito, kayo na po ang bahala. (VerGarciaBlogs)

INVEST NOW IN THE PHILIPPINES.. THE COUNTRY IS STABLE AND GROWING LEAPS AND BOUNDS!! NEED SOME FOREIGN INVESTORS.. By: Ver M. Garcia

Solar Panels giving the needed electricity and power to far flung areas and secluded homes.

WOW.. Thank God our external debt to the IMF-World Bank amounting  to the tune of of USD 60Billion was already paid!! That's According to the report submitted by the Phil. Central Bank Gov. Armando Tetangco.. If this is true then we are the most stable country in the world.. Monies and dollars keep on coming.. thanks to the heroic contributions of our OFW's, Seamen and  BPO's Industry.. they deserve our kudos for this magnificent contribution.. 

So therefore, we need to invite foreign investors.. to venture on business that will redound to the benefit of the people.. exclude mining for this will only destroy and harm our environment.. Instead, invest on transport industry.. like encourage them to develop E-Jeepneys, E-Bus, E-Trikes.. and extensions of Light Railway Transit.. to provide the public with the most clean, cheaper and less cost transport.. Those will help zero in with air pollution and help in the clean air act.. done with the tollgates.. this will only increase or exacerbate  the cost of commodities.. coz higher fees on the tollgates can no longer be afforded by the riding public.. 

One industry that foreign investments are needed is in the power sector.. How about solar energy and windmills?.. The cost of electricity in the Philippines  is very prohibitive.. we are the highest among our neighboring countries next to Japan.. What's happening in this sector maybe we need to review our Energy Regulatory Board and the Power Sector Industry.. to come up with the study on how to lower the cost of electricity.. If foreign investments can help on this regard why not? 

Tourism industry is also one industry that we have long disregarded.. the disparity of visitors travelling in ASEAN member countries were already to the tune of 25 million visitors annually compared to the Phils. We can only invite 2.5 millions tourist.. this is only 10 percent of the total tourists visiting Malaysia.. 

Maybe the problem is peace and order and security.. or cleanliness of the surrounding areas.. they said that Philippines is dirty.. I don't think so.. we are the cleanest in terms of grooming.. taking a bath daily.. changing clothes daily and armpits smelling clean always.. So therefore.. why don't we focus with  this problem of security concern.. secure our visitors to the best of our knowledge and ability!!  

Our lawmakers should increase the penalty for those who would harm our foreign visitors or tourists.. Maybe, you have other suggestions.. we must participate in the nation building.. that's the only way to help our beloved country.. (VerGarciaBlogs)
