Outstanding Rice Farmer
from Ormoc City, Leyte
He is recognized for his innovativeness and unending thirst for knowledge on how to increase his yield per hectare and decrease his production cost. His being a certified rice seed grower allows him to earn more. Because of this, he decided to quit working abroad and concentrate on rice seed production which enabled him to become a certified rice seed grower by the Philippine Rice Research Institute.
His farm is also selected as a learning site for Practical Agriculture by the Agricultural Training Institute-Regional Training Center 8 (ATI-RTC VIII) and eventually registered with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to offer short training courses on Agriculture production.
