Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, June 8) — Hundreds of tons of pumpkins are left lying around unsold at a warehouse located in Brgy. Bugtong na Buli in Talavera, Nueva Ecija.
Talavera farmer Teodoro Ramos Jr. on Wednesday took to social media their struggle to sell the pumpkins due to lack of buyers.
\”Ako ay humihingi ng tulong na sana mabili ang aming mga kalabasa nang sa gayon ay maibalik ang aming puhunan at kahit papano ay kumita pa rin ang aming mga kasamahan sa bukid,\” he said.
[Translation: I am asking for help to hopefully buy our pumpkins so our investment can be returned and at least our fellow farmers can still make money.]
