We are sending 100 boxes of Balangon Banana as our donation for the March 11, 2011 victims of earthquake and tsunami. This also serve as our thanksgiving to our Japanese consumers for patronizing Tupi Balangon which has helped a great deal in alleviating poverty among our marginalized growers both Muslims and Christians alike. Please note that a majority of our growers were formerly NPA and MILF rebels but are now living peaceful and productive lives. Truly indeed Balangon is a fruit of love and peace.
