A complete Christmas experience in the Philippines is not complete without attending the “Simbang Gabi” or Misa de Gallo – night or dawn masses – at the neighborhood church or a local church where one grew up, enjoying the chilly air, and sampling delicacies such as the puto bumbong and bibingka. The Simbang Gabi, a series of masses which run for 9 days, is held between December 16 to 24 as preparation for the grand celebration of St. Mary’s birth to Jesus Christ on December 25. The traditional masses are a carryover from three centuries of Spanish colonization.

A student from the Philippine Science Eastern Visayas Campus won the Breakthrough Junior Challenge – considered the Oscars of Science – bringing home millions worth of educational prizes for herself and her school. Hillary Diane Andales was awarded in early December at the NASA Ames with $400,000 in educational prizes, a scholarship worth up to $250,000, another $50,000 for the science teacher who inspired her, and a state-of-the-art science lab for her school valued at $100,000 designed by and in partnership with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The 18-year-old senior high school student submitted her winning video to the Breakthrough Junior Challenge physics category, focused on reference frames in general relativity. Andales in a Facebook post said she spent about a year making the 3-minute video about Relativity and Reference Frames. The Leyte resident posted about her love for science and how she intends to dream bigger after winning the Breakthrough Junior Challenge. “Now that I have been given this platform to speak to many more people, I want to encourage other young people to be ambitious and dream big. The world needs more dreamers! Other than that, I want to tell everyone (and I mean everyone) that science is interesting and worthwhile. I want (no, need) everyone to appreciate it!

You reap what you sow, thus it is only fitting that a seed company, Allied Botanical Corporation (ABC), would ascribe to this truism through its decades-long operation. With millions of seed packets sold to farmers each year, the company is among the leading breeders, producers and distributors of seeds in the Philippines. Established in 1984, ABC started with the production and distribution of sorghum seeds before expanding to high-value vegetable seeds that were bought by farmers in Baguio City and Benguet. From the so-called chop suey vegetables that make up the popular dish, ABC’s products grew to include seeds of other vegetables, flowers and various plant varieties. While it caters to the wider seed market — including specialty farmers and professional growers – ABC President Michael Caballes said that their primary market has remained the same: the small farmer struggling to make ends meet. Allied Botanical Corporation makes sure the produce gets to the market. ABC IS PROUDLY THE ONLY 100% FILIPINO SEED COMPANY WITH ITS OWN RESEARCH AND BREEDING FACILITY He explained how ABC goes beyond just selling the seeds the farmers sow, pointing out the inclusive features of the business. “We cannot just sell. We have to make sure the farmers get the best seeds for their production as soon as possible. Otherwise we’re not going to last in this business,” Caballes said. Mike Melendres, owner of Melendres Farms in Antipolo City, demonstrated how ABC takes care of the farmers through partnerships and initiatives. Starting in a small Read More …

Being sick is already bad, what’s worst is when you don’t have enough savings to pay the bills.
