The reheated pandesal with a little butter was the best he had for quite a while. The texture decided the goodness of any pandesal. And these had the coarse-sandy surfaces that the bites on them stimulated the want of more bites. He had 4 or 5 of them.
Josie is a happy lady in her 50's. and though she's a single mum of a son and a daughter, she doesn't feel she lacks anything in this world. Being a property agent for the last 20 years, dealing with properties in areas around tagaytay, she has seen the boom time of property in the last 10 years, from sleeping wilderness, to a booming investment hot spot, with prices of land went up 10 times, she did not let the good time go without enriching herself with buying and selling parcels of lands speculatively. she has a big house in silang, and other farm lands around the area, and currently finishing up a 17-storey hotel in silang.
They visited her pineapple farm in Amadeo, a small town near to tagaytay. the 2.7hec farm has 20,000 pineapple trees, each one already topped with ripe or near-ripe fruit. each tree lasts for 3 years, and fruits every year - the first year, with biggest fruit, 2nd not so big, the third year barely sizable enough to be of any commercial value. then they have chop down the plants and do the replanting.
2 workers, father and son, took care of the plantation. They lived in a house inside the plantation with water and electricity, and paid each p6000 monthly.
It was an eye-opener for the first-time pineapple plantation visitors. They had a good time in plucking up ripe pineapples, taking pictures and also listening to the getting-rich story of Josie, the power-mum.
