Another method used by the proponent is through case study in the
internet, and some related studies on the books, the case study is
composed of foreign and local studies. It focuses on the different aspect
on how to diversified agriculture into the production.

separates us from the rest of the world - our colorful and lively culture that
makes us distinctly Filipino
