It was a property owned by my uncle and aunt, the William & Marciana Lasam, which been squatted by their own laborer who had lost his job after many years he worked for my aunt and uncle's logging concession business. When the man's wife got sick and died, the husband couldn't afford funeral of his wife, he ran to my father and asked for help. So then my father came to me and told me that someones
was in need of financial for a funeral and willing to sell his property. I was skeptical but i always have compassion to people in need of help. Of course, I talked to my husband to help this man. He was in need to sell the property to pay the funeral and coffin of his dead beloved wife. He just wanted to us buy in very cheap price. I felt so compassionate and guilty...I wanted to help him, but the land has no farming at all except the small portion of orchard. But, I saw vision on that property, I got interested in taking advantage of the vision about this property to do such some kind of farming. So, I bought the property to this man for only $2500.00 almost 10 archers. 2.5 hectares in the Philippines. I came up with mango farming with the help of my father "Elias A. and nephew Benjamin Lasam, and only brother Elias, Jr. their additional advised and ideas had help me. I always have dream and vision and with my own ideas and creation...I of course, listened to them first but I still follow my own heart what to do with the property. This farming started with compassion, I am doing for God. I'd like to help the in need. The people who also have passion. The people who try their best and work hard. I thank God through His Son Jesus...after 7 years, our mango starts to showing with blessings of hope and prosperity. May this farm be fruitful...and it would help to many unemployed neighborhood. We will have all kinds of species here. Fruits, vegetables and animals. Thanks for being part of my page in facebook. I need your feedback. "Tootsie Peak Farm and Orchard,
