Emerito “Ronald” Angelio Jr
Emerito B. Angelio Jr., fondly known as “Ronald,” is a proud son of a farmer from Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental. Now residing in the City of Bogo for over a decade, he is a dedicated husband and father of two. His roots in farming run deep, and his passion for organic gardening and livestock raising is not just a livelihood—but a way of life.
With a firm belief that growing your own food brings both nourishment and peace of mind, Ronald champions organic practices that avoid harmful chemical inputs. For him, farming is more than sustenance; it is security, savings, and a source of community care. He values seed saving not only as a way to ensure his family’s food supply but also as an act of generosity—sharing seeds, knowledge, and resilience with neighbors and fellow growers.
Ronald believes that every seed sown is a step toward a healthier future for our families and the land that sustains us. As he says, “Organic farming and livestock raising is my life.”
