00:00It's been three years nung una akong tumuntong sa Good Food Farm.
00:07At noon paman, humanga na ako sa kanilang advokasya
00:10na bigyang solusyon ang hunger and food insecurity
00:13na nararanasan ng ating mga kababayan.
00:16At ngayon nga, ang sustainable farming initiatives
00:19ng kanilang organization na Rise Against Hunger
00:22mas pinalawak at mas pinaigting pa.
00:25Well, it grew organically.
00:29Actually, pag tinatanong sa akin, do we have a master plan?
00:32Wala, depende sa yung dagsa ng tao.
00:36But what is important is that
00:39na-reach namin ng Rise Against Hunger yung aming mission
00:42through the Good Food Farm.
00:44Kasi ang gusto naman talaga namin,
00:46magproduce ng mga vegetables para sa feeding program.
00:49At dahil meron ng Good Food Farm,
00:52nakapagpatayo kami ng 500 square meter na warehouse.
00:57At nang magkaroon ako ng pagkakataon na makapartner sila,
01:00sabay naming itinaguyod ng isang sustainable gastronomy restaurant
01:04that creates more job opportunities
01:06and supports our surrounding communities.
01:09Products dito, they go back to the communities.
01:12We hire local people.
01:14At salamat sa'yo yun.
01:16A same vision na, I think, easily,
01:22nag-a-uplift ng kabuhayan
01:25kung saan man nakalugar ang Good Food Farm in Anihan ngayon.
01:29To sustain their operations,
01:31mas pinalawag din ng Good Food Farm
01:33ang kanilang pagiging agri-tourism resort
01:36na nagbipigay-pugay sa ganda ng Philippine ancestral architecture.
01:40Tanagang, consciously, Filipino ang Good Food Farm.
01:43We're not trying to be Bali.
01:45Apo.
01:46We're not trying to be Thai.
01:47Yes.
01:48We make use of capis,
01:50yung mga old reclaimed wood,
01:52bamboo.
01:53There's a lot of bamboo here.
01:54Apo.
01:55It's not your usual, typical architecture vibe.
02:04For me, it feels authentic
02:06kasi I came from a generation
02:09na familiar ako sa mga gantong klase ng bahay.
02:12One of the things that make me proud
02:15as someone working with Rise Against Hunger,
02:18you are willing to open up this heaven
02:21to other people
02:23so that they can be in touch,
02:26grounded ulit sila
02:28with our culture as Filipino
02:31and more importantly,
02:33with nature.
