  If you're looking for good beans you can't go wrong here. Dark roast Arabica from Sagada available through Lazada from a few sellers. You order it and they then roast and ship it straight away. Black oily beans. Have ordered hundreds of kilos of coffee beans but this is by far the best the Phils has to offer. About 550 a kilo. World class. Sent from my KFDOWI using Tapatalk

  Hi, Jim this is Lynette. I just realize that you live in Tisa, Labangon. I have a property there and very helpful nephew name Junie (09321037886 ) who has a car in Lower South Hills area. If you need any help let me call him. I already talk to him. He knows a place where you can buy fresh produce (Carbon price) near Labangon.

  My wife and I have a house on Camotes and we are interested in installing solar panels on our roof.
