In her TV show, "Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho", there was this segment entitled "Biyaya Ng Dagta" which featured how several provinces in the Philippines have harnessed the saps of its various endemic trees to create economies and jobs for its populace.
One such tree that was mentioned is the Pili tree. In Sorsogon, several farmers have been harvesting the sap of these trees as an export material to be used for facial cream products.
I found this interesting because the segment mentioned that the Philippines virtually has a monopoly for this commodity and to think that, to date, only Sorsogon has an existing economy built around this product only speaks of the potential growth this industry is capable if it were further developed.
Prety neat, huh?
