Please find below:

Meet my suki vendor in Consolacion, Cebu Public market.

Mrs. ANECITA PEPITO TOREFIL

Highly recommended vendor as she has a sanitary good practice with a really good attitude.  I salute Manang Ane for being so kind to her suki as well as among to her colleague banana vendors.

Manang Ane is located near the entrance gate along with the fruit vendors. 

Biodegradable Waste Management

Biodegradable waste products for “Saging Pinaypay” are very minimal but if not taken seriously it will cause so much trouble as it can clog to any drainage canal. 

According to Manang Ane, she can throw a sack of banana peel every day at around 3 pm. The waste products are then collected by the Public Market Waste Management Staff.

Banana Peel waste products are a great alternative to livestock feed. So without further ado, I gave Manang Ane, a little info on the waste product’s positive contribution to the environment, livestock, and food producers like me.

For this very reason, I ask Manang Ane if I can collect her waste product twice a week so she can help me in our advocacy as well.  Manang Ane responded positively and agreed to our deal.  I was so happy that Manang Ane was and is participating in our advocacy program.

There are a lot of ways to recycle or repurpose banana peel waste that can contribute a percentage of the total solution in Biodegradable Waste Problem.  I will be happy to share it with you through our earth advocate practitioner partner – www.tropicalhomescalepermaculture.com 

This Food Product delicacy is truly a Tatakpinas! signature trademark of the Filipinos.
