Packaging and Labeling Improvement of Taliba Soap Manufacturing Products
Taliba Soap Manufacturing
Ms. Rufina L. Salvador (Proprietress)
Brgy. Taliba, San Luis, Batangas
The Taliba Soap Manufacturing is a business
operated by group of women named “Samahan ng
Kababaihan” of Brgy. Taliba. They acquired the
technology from a training conducted by Dra. Lingor,
a private individual who was contacted by the
concerned citizen in their barangay. The first training
did not work-out. Instead, they got the help of the NBI
Chemist, Ms. Felicisima Francisco who acquired the
technology on chemical processing through training
at the ITDI, DOST. Ms. Francisco after the training
put her own business but eventually closed it due to
work conflict. The group was trained on making of
powder detergent, dishwashing liquid, liquid
detergent and fabric softener by Ms. Francisco.
They started the business in June 14, 2009
with the capital of P 25,000.00 borrowed from the said concerned citizen from the place. Due
to good business performance, they were able to pay the borrowed amount in the same year.
They organized these group of women into one single type of business organization. The
business was registered as a single-proprietorship under the name of Mrs. Rufina L. Salvador,
the selected president among the group. The group decided to have this type of ownership for
speedy transaction of registrations and other permits. They are selling their product under the
brand name of “Sabon Ga!”
A SETUP fund of P150,000.00 was provided for packaging materials to improve the
product marketability and technical trainings on manufacturing productivity. The fund was
released on August 4, 2014 and the new packaging and label was initially used in November
2014. Total project cost was estimated at P170,000.00 for the acquisition of other packaging
materials and trainings costs and the exceeding amount was the counterpart of Taliba Soap
Manufacturing.
The project aims to develop a label design and package the product for better
marketability; to avoid the adulteration of the product and ensure the credibility of the firm by
having its own packaging and labeling design. Presently, the firm has able to expand their
current Batangas market to Manila, Makati, Ilocos, Isabela and Rizal.
Other technological interventions previously extended by PSTC-Batangas to Taliba
Soap Manufacturing are packaging and labeling design development, technology needs

Brgy. Alupay, Rosario, Batangas
JFarm Agri Enterprise started its operation as
backyard hog raiser in 1998 when Mr. Belzazar S. Fajutagana
bought a farm with existing pens. He started the operation of
the farm with 50 heads of hogs for fattening. During those
days, Mr. Fajutagana was working in abroad so his wife
managed the farm. As OFW, it was his chance for great
opportunities of having extra capital to be used in the
expansion of his farm. In 2005, he started to produce sows
and eventually sell piglets. In 2010, he ventured to other business, the JMart grocery store that started selling products
and became distributor of B-MEG feeds. In the same year,
he started “paiwi system” with initial 5 contract farmers
where he supplied the piglets, feeds, medicines and other
veterinary products. Presently, a total of 8 contract farmers
ranging from 20 to 50 heads of hog fattener availed the
“paiwi system” as his way of helping the people in the
barangay.
A financial assistance of P403,978.38 was provided
through SETUP for the provision of 40m3 biogas system
facility. The project objectives include contribution in the
reduction of global climate change by converting the manure
into methane gas as source of renewable energy, reduction of
the operational cost of the farms in terms of electricity and fuel gas consumption, minimization
and control of the environmental pollution through proper disposal of the farm waste in
compliance to LGU / DENR requirements, and contribution in the protection of bodies of
water in the locality. The counterparts of the proponent for this project amounting to
P 93,000.00 was intended for the lot, installation and uses of biogas, training on maintenance

Ms. Ruby R. Gonzales
Brgy. Aga, Nasugbu, Batangas
3G Country Farms is a Filipino family owned enterprise
established in 2006 in response to the growing demand of the
public towards affordable organic food. Its main product is white
oyster mushrooms which are now gaining popularity due to its
nutritional value, anti-oxidant and anti-cancer properties.
3G Country Farms, based in Sitio
Kaybibisaya, Barangay Aga, Nasugbu, Batangas,
is mainly producing the white oyster mushrooms
which are supplied in selected branches of
Puregold, Robinsons and South Supermarkets.
Due to its proximity to Metro Manila, it can
deliver the oyster mushroom freshly to the
market.
At present, 3G Country Farms has established a high-quality mushroom plantation,
quality control storage facility as well as a well-trained staff to produce the fresh and nutritious
oyster mushrooms to the consumers. The firm gives attention to Research and Development by
adopting technologies such as alternative sources of raw materials and boiler as source of fuel
on the pasteurization of the fruiting bags to cope with the changing times.
In 2013, the enterprise had been recognized by the Bureau of Plant Industry as the
largest Filipino producer of oyster mushroom in the Philippines.
For 3G Country Farms, nurturing mushrooms is like watching a baby to grow, with
patience, understanding and love for every oyster mushroom harvested, carefully delivered and
made available to the outlets in affordable price.
SETUP technical assistance amounting to P 988,000.00 will be provided to the
enterprise for adopting steam boiler technology in the pasteurization of fruiting bags for the
production of white oyster mushroom to increase productivity and ensure quality products.
Specific objectives of the project include provision of vertical steam boiler and training on

through Biogas System Facility
Mario Reña Piggery
Mr. Mario D. Reña (Proprietor)
Brgy. Balibago, Rosario, Batangas
Mario Reña Piggery is engaged on piglet production
and recently ventured into hog fattening. It started the trial
production with two (2) sow level in 2005. These sows were
not produced piglets so the owner asked for help from his
relative who also engaged in this kind of business. After
gaining knowledge on proper way of taking care of sows, the
owner increased the sow level into 11 heads. Aside from this
effort, he visited the John and John Farm in Rizal to acquire
more knowledge and skills on proper sow rearing. The farm
maintained its sow level and he went abroad to earn money to
support the farm while his family continued the operation of
the business. In 2010, the farm expanded the sow level to
currently 90 heads and started selling 100 piglets per month.
In October 2013, they started to raise the hogs into fattener
and sold 30 heads per month. At present, they have raised
120 total fattening hogs and maintained 90 sow level for
piglet production.
SETUP technical assistance of P 1,187,255.00 will be provided for the installation of
90m3 DOST designed biogas system facility to convert waste into gas as source of renewable
energy for the farm and neighboring households; reduce the cost of the farm in terms of
electricity and fuel gas consumption and minimize and control the environmental pollution
through proper waste disposal of the farm in compliance to the DENR/LGU requirements.
Counterpart of the proponent amounts to P 73,000.00 for the land, installation and uses of

Ms. Josefina I. Monserrat
Brgy. San Antonio, San Pascual, Batangas
Mrs. Josefina I. Monserrat and her husband started
their business in year 2000 as a jewelry workshop. Because
they noticed that their business is risky for their own health,
they shifted their business into a grocery store in 2003. In
October 2003, they finally ventured into putting up their own
bakeshop because they noticed its marketability in their area.
They found out that bakery business is very favourable in the
locality so they started renting basic bakery equipment from a
closed bakeshop and provided the capitalization of P
50,000.00. Most of their processes before are done
manually. Eventually, when their business grown up
they were able to purchase their own bakery
equipment. Presently, they have now an established
bakery shop in the locality.
SETUP technical assistance amounting to P
1,150,000.00 will be released to the company for the
upgrading of its production facility under SETUP program. The expected impact of the project
includes thirty-five percent (35%) increase in sales; ensured food safety on the products;
increased the production of “sortidos” / biscuits / cookies through mechanization of cutting

Brgy. Caybunga, Balayan, Batangas
The Center for Agrarian Reform & Rural Development
(CARRD) is a non-stock non-profit organization established by a
working group of professionals in 1988. The Center was
registered with Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) on
February 13, 1989.
Page 8 of 35
CARRD works closely with farmers and agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs) and
provides support services such as land tenure improvement, land productivity enhancement
activities, capacity building of cooperatives and setting up and operation of rural enterprises.
CARRD's work scope consists of farmlands in Batangas,
Zambales, Capiz and Iloilo. In Batangas, CARRD works hand
in hand with Nagkakaisang Mamamayan sa Kanlurang Batangas
Multi Purpose Cooperative (NAGKASAMA MPC), a primary
cooperative composed mostly of ARBs in the municipalities of
Tuy and Balayan.
In 2007 CARRD entered into an agreement with the
Industrial Technology Development Institute of the Department
of Science and Technology (ITDI-DOST) in setting up a
muscovado plant in Barangay Caybunga, Balayan, Batangas. The construction started in
February 2008 to complete phase 1 of the building and facilities enough to operate the
muscovado mill. After the trial run from November 2008 to March 2009, experts from the
ITDI-DOST recommended to complete and upgrade the mill
through DOST SETUP Program.
The SETUP provided assistance to the company
amounting to P 2,330,000.00 for the 50hp biomass boiler to
upgrade the muscovado mill; to enhance energy and
production efficiency and be environment friendly. Expected
output for the project are the following: new boiler will allow
100% operating capacity and meet the target production of the
mill; with higher pressure capacity, the boiler will be able to
heat and cook the 4 cooking vats and 2 pasteurization tanks simultaneously; achieve high
quality muscovado (i.e. color, moisture content, aroma and sediment free) in compliance with
the market requirements especially for export; allow compliance for organic muscovado
processing certification; achieve clean and green production process and efficient energy
consumption. Implementation would be beneficial in complying to market-driven needs and to
minimize wastes; and over-all production system will be enhanced resulting to an improvement
in operational productivity.
Other technological interventions previously extended by PSTC-Batangas to CARRD
were technology needs assessment (TNA) and preparation of project proposal and other

Product and Process Improvement of TASIMCO Dairy Processing Facility
Ms. Susana B. Ilagan (General Manager)
Talumpok Silangan Multi-purpose Cooperative
Brgy. Talumpok Silangan, Batangas City
Talumpok Silangan Multi-Purpose Cooperative is an
agricultural cooperative with most members as farmers. The place
has verdant forest and abundant source of green grass for the
cattle raising and milking. The cooperative has full support from
the local government of Batangas City through OCVAS or Office
of the City Veterinary Office located at Bolbok, Batangas City.
Dairy farming is an important source of subsidiary income
to small/marginal farmers and agricultural laborers. The manure
from animals provides a good source of organic matter for improving soil fertility and crop yields.
Since agriculture is mostly seasonal, there is a possibility of finding employment throughout the
year. The main beneficiaries of dairy programs are small/marginal farmers and landless laborers.
Even more profits can be earned depending upon the breed of animal, managerial skills and
marketing potential.
Dairy milk production is one of the projects in TASIMCO Organic Farm. It includes Hog
Raising and Vegetable production. The milking cow came from the local government as part of
the economic support for farmers in the community in the form of dispersal method. The farmers
were recommended by the cooperative as qualified milking farmer. Memorandum of agreement
Page 19 of 35
between the city government, barangay and cooperative as market for milk was signed with the
end view of giving source of income among farmers. The milk collected were pasteurized in the
cooperative and brought to City Social Welfare Development Office as prime market for milk.
Thus, there is tremendous potential for increasing the milk production.
Grants-in-Aid project amounting to P150,000.00 will be released to TASIMPCO for the
improvement of their dairy production facility. The project includes conduct of necessary
trainings, provision of storage equipment and milking cans and upgrading of the packaging and
labeling design. The expected outputs for the S&T interventions include improvement in the
dairy processing through conduct of current Good Manufacturing Practices and other appropriate
training like milk classification to ensure the product’s quality and safety, production of other
different value-added products from dairy that may increase their income and expand their
market; improved product’s packaging and labelling through provision of more appropriate and
market appealing packaging and labelling and alignment of the storage equipment of TASIMCO
to their anticipated increase in milk production and value-added products developed.
Preliminary intervention rendered to the firm was technology needs assessment (TNA) and the
preparation of the project proposal and its attachments.
