Secretary Manny F. Piñol witnesses the forging of partnership between the members of the indigenous group (IP) of Central Mindanao to Almay Gaw-See of Oh So Healthy! Foods—makers of guilt-free snacks during the recent Biyaheng Bukid held in Tupi, S. Cotabato on June 18, 2018. The collaboration is in connection with P28 billion deal of the Philippine government to South Korea secured last June 6. The IPs, composed of Manobo and B’laan tribes, are expected to supply various agri crops including camote and purple yam to Oh So Healthy, which translates to a monthly income of P300,000.
