But for some poor Filipinos, it's not just about healthy food. Philippine native pigs can be their primary source of income or a sustainable sideline if you live in the farms.
From being a streamline of money when their children need to enroll to their school to a main source of income when their is no crop to be awaited, Philippine native pigs are now becoming more popular to health conscious people as well. I guess that trend is now going with these little fellas and now is the time to show off how healthy their meats are!
As I go on to different farms everyday, I can see more and more backyard farmers having their own little black pigs wandering around their mini garden. Maybe now their reason for domesticating these native pigs is just for another streamline of wealth but I also hope they will know how significant it is to them to have a sustainable income if they will just maximize the potential of these little pigs to be the healthiest source of meat in the country.
Enough of the antibiotic from the commercial meat coming from large scale farms. The Philippine feed industry had become so prosperous already just because people are lazy to learn and develop the native industry.
A massive campaign about the significance of these little black pigs to hog raisers should be implemented followed by seminars and short courses to nourish the industry. If these happens, the meat industry and the hog raisers at the same time will begin appreciating these little black pigs or what is popularly known as the Philippine Native Pigs.
