These photos taken in May 2016, shortly before I assumed office as Secretary of Agriculture under President Rodrigo Duterte, show edthe meter-long pods of the Indian Moringa tree which I planted in my farm.
I acquired the seeds of the unique Moringa from the farm of Filipino-American farmer-scientist Rocky French in April of 2015 shortly after the fight between boxing icon Manny Pacquiao fought American champion Floyd Mayweather.
As the old trees are starting to flower and bear pods again because of the long dry spell, I hope to be able to gather seeds so I could plant this unique Moringa variety again.
