I checked out the website and they have a variety of locally produced products from different provinces pala. Thanks for this content.

Panayunan in Zambal place making salt. In Zambales not only have sitio Panayunan in Masinloc and Candelaria also have Panayunan sitio and Barangay.

Visited the site, cant find the sea salt product, guess the site is still work in progress? Or is it just me?

Somebody has to start an industry for these...

Yet some Filipinos would bargain with a local farmer selling harvest on the street. Limang piso na ngalang yung tubo babaratin pa. Napansin ko din yung ibang retailer sa palengke tuwing madaling-araw na sitwasyon, si farmer mag deliver ng harvest na gulay. Bibilhin yung saluyot na 4-5 pesos minsan 3 pesos pa kada bigkis. Galing bundok o saang lupalok pa si farmer sabay babaratin pa ulit sila. No choice si farmer kesa mabulok, ibigay na nya ng sobrang baba. Tapos bebenta ni retailer ng doble minsan triple pa sa presyo. Puhunan laway lang. Sasabihin ng mga mamimili ang mahal ng gulay.... Tsk2. Samantala si farmer namaluktot kakabuhat ng harvest mag pamasahe pa sa tric, skylab o jeep sabay babaratin...

Like my country too The higher up is coleccting fee money from import

Kaya it would be better to get rid of the middlemen and have the government buy our local producers' produce, para hindi na sila baratin

@@anut7672, yan ang sistema dito! Patayin ang farmers at payamanin ang middlemen!

Yes mam isa kame sa naapektuhan ng batas na ginawa na yan

That's all we are hoping for. To protect our own people and our own culture. But sadly many public officials/servants dont serve the public anymore.

Government wil would nevr want to spend, they always want to gain! Just take a look around, observe, observe.

Sana po aabotin ito ng Angat Buhay Lahat program ni VP Leni. yung programa niya isa sa tumutulong sa mga negosyo at kabuhayan ng mga grassroots communities. sana po para maging sustainable ang local industries natin.

Your comment just ruined this video for me. Why is it that Filipinos always call on the government to solve everything for them. When someone claims to invent something, pinoys call on the government to intervene. Hey! In all developed and rich nations, when someone invented something useful, the first thing that person wants to do is present his/her invention to investors. That's exactly how many big companies became successful.

​@@creestee08 That's not their point here. The point is, this could be a huge source of income for many of our fellow Filipinos with the know-how to produce these kinds of salts, akin to bamboo salt in South Korea. This would undoubtedly push more Filipinos from poverty to the middle-class and this would also help our economy grow. This would also help preserve their culture, since there would be more demand. Gaining government support for this would also help other industries, as this can be seen as a stepping-stone for much wider reforms.

"Govt support" is actually what's wrong often times. Solution is always "let's use the govt to change things" ie 'legislating a solution' rather than finding out other solutions using more simple and more effective solution. The effect usually is over the top and more drastic solution to a problem (because that's what govt. does). When they passed this law there were large parts of the poor PH population that were iodine deficient...typical 'progressive' politicians thought that a brilliant solution is through 'legislating' a problem into a solution, it would've been solved without drastic measures ie market solution with some education help via the govt. They often DO NOT SEE long term effects of enforcement policies. By forcing an industry into a stupid standard vs. simply finding out ways to help get more iodine into the poor's diet some other way, they surely helped iodine deficiency but at the cost of more expensive and more economically detrimental effect which has larger effects on the poor. PH too is notorious for trying to copy standards of other wealthier countries that have dynamics that maybe able to fit into these types of solutions, vs. it's population which are far poorer and more difficult to bear the drastic changes.

In retrospect the law was to address the ongoing iodine-related problems like goiter and such. I still remember the iodized salt commercial jingle, and still maintain that it did reduce these problems. However it does have it's economic effects: salt fortification requires a lot of resources, and small makers cannot cope with it. It also changes the flavor and strength of it, making using it more precise and economical than flaked salt. With the resurgence of salt flakes, sea salt and others along iodized ones, I hope the Filipino salt makers do make a comeback and become a major part of the market: I miss using these growing up.

@@creestee08 well it depends kung gaano karami ang nasa packaging...

@@creestee08may studies na madami daw toxic chemicals ang pink himalayan salt

It's very important to us.
