Hi Dairyman – could it be that they don’t care of the quality because they grew up on powdered milk and rarely had the opportunity to drink fresh milk or would you say it’s more a matter of cost?

There a lot of foreigners in some areas of the Philippines, and I would think those from certain countries would still be seeking fresh milk.

The consumers in developing countries rarely care for the quality of milk being consumed, more so in the absence of government controlled dairy farms or milk distribution system.

[...] I’ll touch just briefly on Methane here as well. The University of the Philippines is already a would leader in setting up small-scale, village-sized ,methane production systems … bringing light and power to folks that would have none of they wait4d for the Meralco’s of the world to do the math. Methane digestion removes manure from the environment, captures and uses the otherwise highly polluting gas and the residue after digestion is excellent organic crop fertilizer. India already has several small cities running exclusively on methane production from dairy farms. Just recently my colleague Randy C. reported on a dairy farm going to their own methane production to offset power costs. [...]

Hi Randy, when I was in Stella Maris (ages agoooooo) we didn’t have fresh milk!!! I will have to ask some cousins who have children still studying there. Probably one or 2 left – they are all growing up so fast. Or, I can ask my alumni classmate who is now teaching Chinese classes there.

Thanks for your email, btw, have to check on what went wrong. Not my dept. What browser are you using?

Hi Bob – thanks for the update. It’s good to see them doing well. I guess there is a market there for that, even if it is just a small one. Let me know when you make it there.

Thanks for stopping by, always good to hear from you.

Hi Randy – Samal Dairy Farm recently opened their own shop in Davao City. It is on JP Laurel, in front of Davao Power and Light. I saw it for the first time a few days ago. I haven’t had the time to drop in yet, but I intend to go check it out.

Hi Randy, oh oh. I have moved the site to http://sailsamal.com/blog/

This way, it is linked to my main website. What address were you using? I can still go in to http://blogs.sailsamal.com/ because I am keeping this alive for a while. I moved all articles and comments over already, as of yesterday.

Thanks for letting me know.

Hi Ellen – glad you found it interesting. Sounds likely that Stella Maris would your school. Do the school’s have fresh milk as part of their lunch?

BTW, I can’t view your blog anymore. Just comes up blank other than the header info.

Hi Dave – it’s great to hear there are a number of dairies there. I hadn’t run across that, but I realize there is much I haven’t experienced yet. I’m interested to see if they are able to expand their business to cheese and butter, as they hope.

It does sound like they are going about it the right way. Sometimes necessity really does encourage positive change.
