Jonathan D. Samillano, a farmer who also works in a government office, wasn’t always involved in agriculture. His journey as a farmer started when he came back to Davao City for good in 2015.
“It was a very difficult decision I made because I’ll start from scratch after working in an advertising company,” he said.
But since he was originally from the area, he found himself living with his grandmother on his parents’ small farm lot measuring around 2.4 hectares located in Purok 7 Barangay Tacunan, Davao City.
Samillano’s parents are farmers. He eventually became inspired to follow in their footsteps, especially since he was looking for a means to start anew after leaving his career in the advertising world.
