ECJ Sinoy Agri Ventures isn't just a business — it's a family's way of life. Nestled in Prk. Nagkahiusa, Alegria, Alabel, our farm sits in the heart of Sarangani Province, where the climate is warm, the soil is rich, and the community lives by the bayanihan spirit — neighbors helping neighbors, the way farming has always been in Mindanao.
5:30 AM — Morning Feeding
The day starts early. Our baboy, kanding, manok, itik, and pabo all need their morning feed. Each animal group has a specific diet tailored to their needs — our Duroc-Pietrain crossbreed pigs get a high-protein commercial feed, while our Bisaya'ng manok forage freely supplemented with binlod (rice bran) ug mais (corn).
7:00 AM — Health Checks
After feeding, we walk through each pen and enclosure to check on animal health. We look for signs of illness, injuries, or unusual behavior. Any concerns are noted and addressed immediately — whether it's a piglet that's not eating or a kanding that seems lethargic.
9:00 AM — Farm Maintenance
Pens are cleaned, water troughs refilled, and fences inspected. In the fruit areas, we check the langka, rambutan, marang, and mangga trees for pest damage, ripeness, and growth progress. During harvest season, this is when we pick fruit destined for same-day buyers.
12:00 PM — Midday Break & Customer Inquiries
Lunch time! We also check our Facebook page and Messenger for customer inquiries. Many of our buyers are local mag-uuma, resellers, and families looking for fresh livestock or seasonal fruits. We respond to every message personally.
3:00 PM — Afternoon Tasks
Afternoons vary. Some days it's vaccinations with the vet, other days it's preparing animals for buyer pickup. If there's an AI service appointment, our technician handles the Pietrain breeding procedure. We also use this time for infrastructure improvements — building new pens, repairing roofing, or planting new fruit trees.
5:30 PM — Evening Feeding & Lockup
Final feeding round and securing all animals for the night. Free-range manok and itik are herded back into their enclosures. Gates are locked, and we do one last walk-through.
Dili lang mi mag-uma og pagkaon — mag-uma mi og komunidad, kalig-on, ug pagsalig.
