Philippine Mahogany Seedlings

After our first discussions about our plan to develop the farm, Rodolfo Ferrer began sowing Philippine mahogany seeds in April 2008 at another place near our farm. The first photos were taken in the end of May. In the end of July we relocated approximately 300 seedlings to our nursery.
Follow the further development of the seedlings here.

Bank Account

Rodolfo Ferrer opened his first bank account in Antipolo City on 28 July 2008, so that I can transfer his payment also when I am abroad.

He applied for a Social Security System number, too.

The planting of the app. 500 fruit trees was completed in July 2008. We were walking to the different sites of the farm and Gabby Mondragon is explaining which trees were planted in the area and where we are going to plant the forest trees next year.
