Gandang Mais

The products of Gandang Mais was mainly made from corn husks. This was designed by Mrs. Milagros Evangelista and made by some of her trained locals of GenSan.
I was so amazed that when you look at the flowers from a far, they really look real and the quality of each products are for export. The products are all hand made to secure the quality. 

The idea of making products from corn husks can help in environmental conservation  because they utilize the by products of corn rather than burning it.
















Dried Fish Production

         One of the business the we assisted during MASICAP II time was Dried Fish Production of GenSan Dried Fish Makers Association. the association is one of the biggest producer of dried fish in General Santos City. The pictures are taken during the data gathering and plant visit, at this time we study all the process of how to make dried fish. The project was for the purchase of mechanical dryer and to be subitted to Department of Science and Technology.

        It takes a lot of skill to slice the fish because the knife is very sharp that it can cut the bones en one slash. when cutting the fish there should be no repeating slash to preserve the quality of the product.
