00:00And in our new season, we will focus on convergence

00:03or the joining of programs and stakeholders

00:06in the continuous development of communities and communities.

00:10And if there is one, we can talk about it here in our program

00:14Mayor Democrito Aljon Diamante,

00:17the father of Tuburan Cebu Coffee Industry

00:20to talk about how coffee changed the lives of farmers and residents of Tuburan.

00:26Good morning, Mayor Aljon.

00:28Yes, Dayan, good morning to all the viewers of our program.

00:32Good morning to everyone.

00:33Let's talk about coffee and how it helped your fellowmen in Tuburan Cebu.

00:39Alright, tell us, how did the coffee industry start in your place?

00:44Actually, for me, heaven fell here.

00:47Because I ran here and there because I wanted to help the poor.

00:51At that time, charcoal was one of the biggest livelihoods of people.

00:58The mountains were noisy, so I really thought that there should be an alternative.

01:04That's why it suddenly came to my mind that coffee can be used as an alternative.

01:08So that's where I started in 2012.

01:10Now, we're already 13 years old.

01:13Okay.

01:13So, God's mercy, it's already a big help to our poor fellowmen,

01:18especially in the mountains.

01:20How big is the coffee industry in your place?

01:23For us, we planted almost 3,000 hectares.

01:26I'm thankful to all the government agencies, especially in NIDA.

01:31Because we established a convergence,

01:33or all the national government agencies were united to help the poor.

01:38Okay, so the government agencies are helping each other.

01:40What are the agencies, Mayor?

01:42NIDA, National Economic Development Authority.

01:45I started in the National Greening Program in DNR.

01:48Instead of ordinary trees that we plant, we plant coffee.

01:52Okay.

01:53So, yes.

01:54Actually, the packaging of this coffee is beautiful.

01:57This is the coffee.

01:58The Tumuran coffee.

01:59Yes, ma'am.

02:00And the packaging is beautiful.

02:01Are there any agencies that helped our farmers?

02:03All the agencies.

02:05This is made by DOST.

02:07All the agencies here, DOST, DTI, DSWD,

02:14all of them, as long as NIA is included.

02:17Because NIA is the agency in Batubig.

02:20Okay, so the government agencies are really helping each other.

02:23How did the lives of farmers in your area change?

02:28Little by little, their lives changed.

02:31They are earning and helping their families.

02:33And not only that, I also introduced a lot of livelihood programs to our town.

02:38Especially the programs of sustainable livelihood programs.

02:42So, not just that, not just coffee, but almost everything.

02:45Because we are really thinking about how we can help the poor, especially in poverty alleviation.

02:51Because we were also the pilot in NIDA when they called it ASAP,

02:56or Accelerated and Sustainable Anti-Poverty Program.

02:59All right.

03:00For those who want to start a business like this,

03:03how much capital do they need?

03:06And how many months is the return of investment that we are talking about

03:09so that they can really earn here in coffee?

03:13For us, we have what we call plant-to-cup.

03:16Because in the whole Region 7,

03:18we are the only one accredited by the Bureau of Plant and Industry to propagate seedlings.

03:23So, we also do cutting.

03:25We have mother plants, so we produce 20,000 to 30,000 seedlings in a month.

03:30So, the farmers are taught

03:33from cutting up to planting,

03:37then harvesting, and at the same time,

03:39the process of coffee.

03:41So, our concept is really plant-to-cup.

03:45So, we are helping because we have technicians.

03:48If someone wants to plant,

03:50we are willing to help and teach our experience.

03:55Because this is two birds in one stone.

03:58Because you helped the poor,

04:00you earn the poor,

04:02and at the same time, you can help the environment.

04:04So, it's easy. In two years, your coffee will bear fruit.

04:08We will also buy from your production.

04:12We have what we call plant-now-pillator.

04:15So, for example, you plant,

04:17we can provide seedlings,

04:19and then, we will also buy from your production.

04:23We are the one who will process.

04:25What are your plans to expand this program?

04:30We are encouraging other local executives

04:35to plant coffee.

04:37Because the mountains that can bear fruit are vast.

04:42So, for us, as I said, two birds in one stone.

04:45You helped the environment,

04:46and at the same time,

04:47you are helping the poor farmers.

04:50Where did this product come from?

04:55There are a lot.

04:56Actually, it's not just that.

04:58We built a mountain resort in the plantation,

05:01in Tuburan 360 View.

05:03You can see it on the page.

05:05We also built coffee shops,

05:07Tuburan Cafe.

05:09Actually, up to now,

05:11we have produced just enough

05:13to meet the requirements

05:15of our coffee shops.

05:17So, there are a lot.

05:18I want to thank all Cebuanos,

05:20especially Filipinos,

05:22who loved our product.

05:24And I hope this will be for experts also, right?

05:28Yes.

05:28That we can bring this to other countries.

05:30It's a good way to welcome, right?

05:32Yes, ma'am.

05:33Of course, let's taste the coffee

05:35that came from Tuburan, Cebu.

05:36Actually, it's a drip coffee.

05:38This is the trend now,

05:40you just put it in your mug,

05:42then you pour the hot water.

05:44Okay, Mayor, I will accompany you

05:46in drinking this coffee.

05:48And Mayor, you said that

05:50when you consume this,

05:52you will help farmers, right?

05:54Yes, ma'am.

05:56In every coffee that I consume,

05:58there is a poor farmer

06:00who can help.

06:03It's delicious, Mayor,

06:05even if you didn't add sugar,

06:07right? In fairness.

06:09This is organic.

06:11Alright, to our farmers

06:13in Tuburan, Cebu,

06:15what is your message to them?

06:17To our farmers in our town,

06:19I hope we can do our best

06:21and work hard

06:23to maintain our coffee plantations.

06:25Because it's a waste

06:27if we just feed the animals.

06:29It's a waste.

06:31At the same time,

06:33we can help the environment.

06:35Because of the strong coffee industry,

06:37our fellow countrymen

06:39there

06:41are having a hard time.

06:43Their economy is increasing.

06:45Yes, slowly.

06:47And what we are doing,

06:49I built high schools in the mountains

06:51because we bought

06:53our own land.

06:55Then we went to the Department of Education

06:57because in my history,

06:59I went to school far away

07:01in our town.

07:03And in our town,

07:05we don't forget the peace and order

07:07because it was infiltrated

07:09by the insurgents.

07:11But now, it has changed.

07:13The lives of the people in the mountains

07:15and the lives of the poor

07:17are slowly changing.

07:19If we compare this coffee from Tuburan, Cebu,

07:21how can we differentiate it

07:23from the other coffee

07:25available out there?

07:28We have a tagline

07:30that says,

07:32Handpicked and roasted with love.

07:34So there is love.

07:36You need to have love

07:38in everything you do.

07:40If you have love

07:42in making delicious coffee,

07:44you can do it in Tuburan.

07:46Our farmers

07:48have love in what they do.

07:50Also,

07:52it's organic.

07:54And you know,

07:56if you drink this coffee,

07:58you will remember the farmers

08:00in Tuburan, Cebu

08:02who helped raise their lives.

08:04Just a message to our fellow countrymen.

08:06Yes, to our fellow countrymen,

08:08love the Filipino product,

08:10the product of Tuburan

08:12because it's our own.

08:14And let me tell you,

08:16in every cup of coffee that you consume,

08:18you have a poor farmer who will help you.

08:20Thank you so much

08:22for your time.

08:24Mayor Aldron,

08:26Diamante,

08:28and to our fellow countrymen,

08:30you need to taste this coffee.

08:32I can't fully describe it to you.

08:34You need to taste it

08:36so that you can help

08:38our fellow countrymen.

08:40We are very thankful

08:42for your continued support

08:44and we are inviting you to join

08:46our program on Wednesday

08:48where we will be sharing stories

08:50about the difference for the rights

08:53of the poor.

08:55So please join us

08:57and join me, Mayor Aldron,

08:59in sharing this story
