howdy, just another thought. Not sure if you are interested in fish, but we know a guy (in Cauayan) that farms rice, goats and fish. He has a pond with about 10,000 fish. As far as what he tells me it's a type of carp. I think he gets 2 ... Read More

Pig farming is tough now. The swine flu is everywhere and there's no way to get around it. I would not make any kind of venture into that kind of farming now. My wife and I tried 2 years ago with a filipina friend of ours and we all had to give it ... Read More
