Experience The Philippines Podcast

WHERE TO EXPERIENCE EXCITING AGRI TOURISM One of our beliefs is that the next growth sector is in the agricultural industry. And what better way to expose how beneficial this is to every single Filipino is experiencing it through Agricultural Tourism. Agri-tourism is centered on agricultural-based activities to attract travelers to farms and ranches. ... It's meant to be educational, engaging, not to mention a more sustainable revenue source for farmers and local communities. Join us as one of our experience partners, Nina Resplandor of Myriad Farms Agri-Business Skills Training and Assessment Center, Inc. takes us on an inside look at their farm and farm experience activities. We are so excited to get to know the story behind their successful farm enterprise and how you can visit and learn more about farming.

LEARNING THE BASICS WITH FILIPINO SIGN LANGUAGE Express yourself differently with a deaf friend by learning a few phrases in Filipino Sign Language (FSL)!  And did you know that besides signing, making facial expressions is an important part of FSL, as the Deaf encourage expressing one’s self. FSL has been recognized as the national sign language of the Filipino Deaf through the Filipino Sign Language Act in October 2018. The law mandates that FSL be used in transactions with the Deaf and as the language of instruction for Deaf learners. Sometimes another way of making new friends is really not to talk. Join us in this LIVE STREAM with MS  RUTH DUNGARAN as we learn about Filipino Sign Language.

VERTICAL FARMING IN YOUR BACKYARD! Calling all plantitos and plantitas out there. It’s time to step up your gardening game and try out hydroponic farming! Hydroponic farming is the method of growing plants without the need for soil, instead, plants will grow in water incorporated with mineral nutrient solutions. This shift in farming allows growers to produce their own crops faster than the traditional growing outdoors. Hydroponically grown plants tend to yield more, use less water, require lesser space, and plants can be grown all year round. If you are a city dweller or someone who has limited gardening space, then this might be the ideal solution for you! Join us as our experience partner, Sir Nars Adriano, walks us through the process and the benefits of hydroponic farming.
