🌱 A BLOOMING SUCCESS: CELEBRATING OUR VERY OWN 1ST PRIZE WINNER! 🌱

We are beyond proud to share the incredible achievement of Adolfo H. Cabal, a dedicated member of our FCCT Carcar Branch family!

Tatay Adolfo has recently been awarded the 1st Prize in the "Show mo, Bakuran mo" search for the Best Gulayan sa Bakuran in Brgy. Ocana, Carcar City. This recognition, under the Healthy Pilipinas initiative, is a testament to his hard work, green thumb, and commitment to sustainable living.

His farm, Adolfo's Intensified Integrated Diversified Organic Farm (IIDOF), serves as a beautiful example of what can be achieved with passion and perseverance. From fresh, vibrant organic vegetables like eggplants and bitter gourds to his own Takakura Compost Fertilizer production, Tatay Adolfo is showing us all the way toward food security and healthy living.

As a WE4F (Water and Energy for Food) and FCCT assisted enterprise, we have seen firsthand the dedication Tatay Adolfo puts into every plant. His success is not just a personal win but an inspiration to our entire cooperative community.

Success truly grows where there is hard work and a heart for the environment! 🌻✨🍃🌱

The "Walang Gutom" is a flagship program of DSWD-7, designed to address involuntary hunger by providing beneficiaries with food through the Food Redemption system, which focuses on the three essential food groups: go, grow, and glow. The FCCT is one of the participating retail stores in this program.
Last December 6,2024 the Fcct Sangi branch distributed food to 188 beneficiaries from various selected barangays in Toledo City. Each beneficiary received ₱3,000 worth of food. This program by DSWD is a significant support to the beneficiaries. As a partner retailer it's a big help to our farmer members who produce a variety of fruits, vegetables, and other agricultural products. The Walang Gutom Program helps us to create a market for our Farmer produce, making it an essential initiative for our community. This program is a tremendous help to all of us involved.
