One Typical day at the Bangued Public Market. A place where the rich and the poor co-mingle to buy basic necessities for everyday survival.

SIR, the veggies that were seen in Bangued Market namely…head-lettuce, cauliflower
carrots, beans, eggplants, patatoes, head-garlics were grown in many parts of the
province of Benguet brought down to Baguio City Market for distribution.
Now then, business entrepenuers from Bangued go to Baguio and purchase these veggies to
sell in Bangued Central Market.
I don’t have anything against these Bangued entrepeneurs doing ‘business’. But
transporting these veggies to Bangued add additional cost to the people of Bangued.
How do I (Dr. Leo) know this…because I practice Medicine/Surgery and as a
SURGICAL CONSULTANT of the BAGUIO GENERAL HOSPITAL for several years after my training
(1963) in the USA. I know and have seen the gardens where these veggies are grown.
Logic tells us that ABRA being a member of the Cordillera provinces because of its
topographical features/location and height (above sea level).
KABABAYANS, ABRENIANS are different tribe of TINGGUIAN perhaps from that of the Benguet
people none-the-less most are farmers by heart can raise in the province of Abra the
same veggies.
After 30 years practice of Surgical/Medical in the city of MARTINSVILLE,
INDIANA, USA., I went in retirement, down-sized my house into condominium with a
limited yard space. I went into ‘home gardening’ as a hobby.
I have developed a way that I can produce veggies for a family 5-6 in a garden plot
that measures ‘8 ft x 4 ft’. Veggies namely.. String beens, Tomatoes, Zukini(squash),
Chinese celery, pechay, spinach, green onions, garlic-heads, sugar snap peas (mostly
green leafy vegetables– easy to grow and my MOTTO is “only grow veggies you like
best to eat”).
I would like to share my knowledge in ‘Home Gardening’ to Abrenians who wishes
to learn. I would prefer for those interested to use their ‘true name not NOM de
PLUME name’ in this Website to communicate with me. Don’t be afraid my friends,
you’re on a safe ground… ‘Home gardening’ not in politics.

Posted by Dr. Leo Tuason | December 18, 2012, 7:29 amI agree with Dr. Tuazon. Lot of veggies being transported to the province of Abra from Baguio. If only local officials encourage local people living in municipalities with the same climate with Baguio it would be a great help.
