Cordillera - Farmers in Cordillera continued delivering tons of vegetables to the victims of the recent Taal Volcano eruptions.

Although they suffered from huge losses due low price of vegetables and not getting enough money from being a farmer, they didn't hesitate to donate some of their produce.

Last January, the La Trinidad Mps Facebook page shows tons of assorted vegetables are being loaded into trucks which later on be dispatched to the hard hit town of Batangas.

A short message thanking the farmers of Benguet was posted on their social media page. 

"Gulay para sa mga Kapatid na Taga - Batangas. Salamat sa mga magsasaka dito sa Benguet. Ang inyong mga donasyong Gulay ay makaka-abot sa Batangas. Ang mga busilak niyong puso para tumulong sa mga biktima ng Ash Fall ni bulkang Taal. Alam namin na mahirap magtanim ng gulay at tamaan pa ng mababang presyo pero di kayo nagdalawang isip magbigay."

Benguet farmers are already reeling the effect of the low price of vegetables due to oversupply and lack of demand after the long holiday season.
