We are letting you know that there are 50 tons of NATIVE GARLIC that needs immediate rescuing in Itbayat Island, Batanes. The provincial government of Batanes is hoping that we could take at least ten tons of these. You know, Batanes was big in the news last week. Sixty members of the sea-faring Tao people of Taiwan rowed across 165 kilometers of open ocean to visit their Ivatan kin in Batanes. I believe there was no space for “pasalubong” on the boat, so hindi nabawasan yung 50 tons. Still waiting for help. Over the years we did a couple of Rescue Buys™ in Itbayat, both for 1,000 kilos. Here are pictures from that difficult but satisfying effort. The farmers, the dangerous operation of transferring the garlic from launch to ship in choppy coastal waters, the container that held the our garlic, etc. Oh, here is our post about it We are determined to it all over again, we will be brave, will you do it with us? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGARLIC RESCUE BUY. We are seeking support for 1,000 kilos of ITBAYAT NATIVE GARLIC. If you give P499, your share shall be 2 kilos. This Rescue Buy gives Itbayat farmers the best price for their garlic. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RURI CLUB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46363129151661,"sku":null,"price":499.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ruriclub.com\/products\/itbayat-garlic","provider":"RURI CLUB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
