After my graduation in college way back 1999, I then hired as office clerk in one shipping company catering services in big company exporting cavendish bananas abroad. I was assigned at the wharf since my job involves the preparation of shipping documents for an exported cargo. It was also during that time whereby my pseudo belief on such brand has been erased( I thought before that the botanical name of such fruit is Stanfilco, after knowing its a company name of Dole). It is quite amazing at first when I saw bulk of cartons delivered at the wharf considering its thousands of cartons delivered from farm everyday. And yet I found out later, that these cargoes are not yet enough to meet the order of foreign buyers. Until this time, I am still connected with a company which engaged this line of business although its no longer the one I worked before.

Realizing the potential of bananas in Mindanao region, is somewhat God given miracle so it can create job employment. An approximate 20 thousands employees excluding family members are purely dependent on banana industry in the region. Thanks that quality of such product has really passed the international standard so much so that there are a lot of big companies from different titan countries like that of Japan, Middle East and U.S have come here to invest business on banana. This is something we are happy so to earn everyday income for a living……
