While community pantries are projected, farmers from Mantalongon,Dalaguete,Cebu are troubled of the unsold number of cabbages they harvested.
One of the most crucial and basic need of an individual is food. This pandemic has brought workers particularly to farmers into a high intensity level of struggle in vegetable crisis. Low salary, unsold crops and provision for their families are part of it. Yet, it never hinders a farmer to stop working. Ironically, we people tend to need them as part of the society. People will never see the hardwork of the farmers until they realize how essential farmers are when time of famine comes. They can be labeled as the simplest but the most essential workers.
However, this crisis has taken action of the Cebuanos whose objective is to offer their time willingly to help.

Every crisis has its own solution. They never bought the cabbages for their own food but instead, they bought it for the purpose of donating it to the community pantries.
Truly unity and love has been developed in the hearts of the Cebuanos and sooner or later, the next generation will adapt it with equal treatment.
