This is the final video in this Philippines food travel video series!

We took a trip to Gawad Kalinga Enchanted Farm, which is an entire village where some of the most underprivileged families in the Philippines are given a chance to use their unique creativity to foster businesses and improve their lives.

Along with my friend Anton from Our Awesome Planet (http://www.ourawesomeplanet.com/), we drove about 1.5 outside of Manila, to the farm. It’s a beautiful place, with friendly people, and many projects around the farm.

They have a restaurant, using all local ingredients, most of which are from the farm, a university training students to be their own agricultural entrepreneurs, and dozens of other businesses on the farm. There are even a few beverages made from local ingredients which are being marketed and sold on the commercial market in the Philippines.

After walking around the village for a few minutes, we headed over to an Aunty’s house who is known throughout the village for her cooking. They cooked a number of dishes, including her famous carrot rice, chicken curry, and fried bangus milkfish. All the Filipino food was delicious, but I especially enjoyed the carrot rice and the vegetables which were all so incredibly fresh and simmered down with coconut milk.

Not only was it an amazing home-cooked Filipino food meal, but spending some time and meeting people at Gawad Kalinga Enchanted Farm, was the highlight.

  4. Can't believe I saw this just now! I've been there with my whole college batch, and I love how they help and teach people make sustainable living that can also generate income. We saw how they continue to build the community. I am also fascinated by how many volunteers from different countries were there when we visited. Gawad Kalinga is a very nice community. I hope we have more initiatives like this here in the Philippines.

  5. Did he say “eradicate poverty for 5 billion families”? Population of the whole Philippines is only a little more than 100 million.

  6. I watch your videos daily – thank you for sharing your life with the world. As we watch and admire you, proper English grammar is important and would be appreciated .

  7. It's awesome that you were able to experience GK. It is just sad that it was riddled with controversy… I just hope people will not stop volunteering and supporting it.
