Alvarez: Hahamakin Lahat


His latest pronouncement that Tadeco should not hire inmates to work in the plantation is a statement taking aim at everything just to bring Tadeco down. When he can't pin the Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) between BuCor and Tadeco as disadvantageous to the gov't, he employs tactics questioning the ownership of the roads inside the plantation as well as election issues - all out of context of his case on Allegation that the JVA is disadvantageous to the Government. Although, it augurs well with his purpose of getting media mileage. But alas!, as fate would have it, his plan was overtaken by events. His rampage of ego-tripping is now checked when he choose to say words that caught the ear of Mayor Sara Duterte. So now, as ill-advised, he is using the JVA issue to cover his spat with Mayor Sara. But his recent pronouncement to file raps against custodials/escort guards who are just escorting the inmates working as trainees in the plantation, is as rotten as he is. His insinuations that Tadeco should hire workers from the free world instead of the inmates, when in fact, these in-mates are there as trainees bound to be responsible with themselves in the future and to slowly regain their trust in the rule of law (Dapecol is in existence to rehabilitate them together with Tadeco as stipulated in the Joint Venture Agreement), is a statement as mindless as he is and his advisers. He is now threatening to skew the very purpose of government in terms of the rehabilitation of erring members of the society. Getting a cue from this senseless and heartless threats, he wants the inmates to remain in their cells, thus, jeopardizing the very purpose of Dapecol and the JVA which is to reform these in-mates into responsible persons and ready them for re-introduction to society. His threat to sue Dapecol employees involved in the JVA is a blatant attempt to put chaos in the law, order and justice in the smooth and peaceful administration of Dapecol. He wants to penalized people who are just doing their jobs and are working in their line of duty. He wants to penalize the inmates who are earning stipends for their respective families. Alvarez wants to destroy the very foundation of the rehabilitation process of our penal system. He is sowing misinformation in pronouncing that Tadeco is using the inmates as workers for free. He is destabilizing a government agency in his statements. As Inday Sara puts it, he is an asshole.

70th Year!

In its 70 years of existence, one banana company still stand after a myriad of mixed frustrations, denials, triumphs and victories. It's still standing amidst chaos brought about by the challenges framed by man and given by nature. Its strength lies not on the physical foundation and vastness of the plantation it operates but on the resiliency of the people under its wings. It's flight over the years overcomes adversities not by soaring high but by being steady in front of gusty winds. One can see it coming knowing who its founder is. Known for being a man with great connections, he was also a tactician pointing specific and precise steps wherever the wind blows. The great culture he had developed along with trusted allies who come and go made impact on thousands of lives each day. His profound keenness of detail and crisp thinking, enabled the company to go in strides racing to a sure victory in an end game still very far in sight. Through the years of its existence, the compa...

The Journey and Why

TADECO, a member of the Anflo Group of Companies, embarked on a journey with a small step in Dec. 20, 1950. Armed with the passion to achieve and a vision to fulfill, Don Antonio O. Floirendo, started an abaca farm on a swampy land somewhere in Davao, in the land of promise, the island of Mindanao.  Riding the wave of times and a plummet of abaca prices, situations pushed the company to shift to the production of Cavendish bananas for export in 1969. Banana production for export is as old as the century at the time but very, very young in the country. An established system in South America for the export of bananas was imported, nurtured, tweaked and new technologies evolve as the Philippines' flora and fauna differs from that of South America, though still favorable to the growth of banana.  As part of the definition of agriculture, Tadeco invested on research for the improvement of operating procedures and understanding of the variety given the sensitivit...

Fusarium Wilt and Gov Jubahib

The Philippines is the second largest exporter of Cavendish bananas, next only to Ecuador. The dreaded Fusarium Wilt disease caused by a fungus, Fusarium oxysporum cubense Tropical Race 4 (Foc TR4) is wrecking havoc and threatening the existence of the banana industry, not just in the Philippines but all over the world. Banana exporting countries as well as banana eating countries are scrambling to solve the problem. Our government in 2012 thru the Bureau of Plant Protection of the Department of Agriculture had declared war to minimize and slow down the spread of the fungus that is exploding like wildfire. The administrative order urges the provinces of Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, Davao Oriental and other provinces to put up quarantine measures which includes tire/wheel and foot baths in every entry and exit points of a banana farm. TADECO has been in the forefront in the production of Cavendish bananas for export as well as in the combat of the Fusarium Wilt disease. Protectin...
