It was a big loss when it comes to the source of income from my people in our municipality. Dalaguete is a province of Cebu which is popular with its so-called "Vegetable Basket of Cebu". It's about two weeks ago when the news went viral and was even featured from a popular Documentary show in the Philippines "KMJS". Loads of delivery trucks throwing the vegetables most specifically to cabbage.
You can compare how much you can buy cabbage from your favorite stores or supermarket but you can't believe in reality during the great loss, you will almost have it for a peso because it's not sold and rotten. Through the help of social media, it was notified by the government of Cebu and other people who got an interest to save those wasted ones. One of the governors from Cebu South, took the responsibility to order those loads of cabbages.
We may encounter this kind of obstacle but beyond grateful for every day's blessings we have. During this pandemic, we can see who are those good samaritans and unexpected good people who have a helping hand to lend their help to one another. Let's always remember, we should not give up on whatever trials we face on, be a hard-working person because all those sacrifices will be paid off for sure at the perfect time. Thank you, everyone, and cheers to our great farmers out there!
Social media is really powerful when it comes to reaching out, it's good that those goods are bought and not being wasted.. Farmers also earned not a total loss.
